Summary
Fate is a fickle thing, isn't it?
When the King of Ferelden calls his banners to face the rising Blight, the second son of the Teryn of Highever Aeden Cousland, finds himself unexpectedly thrust into command.
Unproven but bound by duty, Aeden must lead an army through a land sliding into chaos, marching south to face an Archdemon and the nightmare horde it commands.
Yet the deeper he leads his soldiers, the more he learns that monsters wear many faces. Between superstition, betrayal, and the creeping dread of what stirs beneath the earth, Aeden must decide what it truly means to lead... and what he is willing to sacrifice to keep his people alive.

Summary
Wilda Cousland, the Jewel of Highever, comes of age into a world of intrigue, turmoil, and really awful parties. The one bright spot in her life is the oldest son of her father's dearest friend. But when war, duty, and betrayal rip her world apart, does she have the strength to hold on to their unlikely bond? Or will her heart and her drawing arm lead her to safer shores?
All Origins exist in the world of this series (not both genders, though), but Female Cousland is the Warden. All others either die during their stories or are just normal folks that might show up later. This leads to some canon divergence, obviously. Sometimes MAJOR canon divergence.
This story's title and general feel is inspired by "Moments Before The Storm" by Poets of the Fall. The individual chapters are named after a poem by Dante Alighieri from his Vita Nuova.

Summary
"My name is Alistair. I'm an almost-templar, a full-time Grey Warden and a royal bastard... but, shush, this is actually a secret. This is my story... although it's not alone about me... It's more like my version of how the most unlikely bunch of losers accidentally saves the world. And no, I'm not exaggerating. It's a tale worth being told and worth reading. It's pretty tragic, mind you, with lots of villains, treacherous bastards, dragons and more darkspawn than I can count. But also kinda funny... we laugh more than you would expect. And you're going to meet the most ravishing, beautiful and cunning young woman ever... my woman. Maker's Breath, she's amazing! And she's the reason why this story contains a whole lot of... lamppost licking... err... Now, why don't you just read it while I stand over there until the blushing stops, yes?"
Alistair's POV of the events during the Fifth Blight and his love for the Cousland Warden. The story follows the game with lots of extras.
Rated explicit for what happens after chapter 28. Before, oh, well, you know this is about adorably woo-less Alistair, so what else to expect?
Fan Art Collections Chapters 99 and 100.

Summary
"There are always those the demons cannot match. Those that despair only makes stronger, that fear cannot dissuade, that base desire cannot touch, and that pride cannot bring down. When darkness threatens, heroes rise. That is the true magic of this world. The music swells, and you dance. It is beautiful beyond words." - Urthemiel

Summary
In response to the following prompt over at the DAO kink-meme:
PC gathers the army by sleeping her way through Ferelden till she claims all treaty rights. Origin doesn't matter, but PC's got to be a slut who loves it. All diplomatic encounters can be solved if you're a dirty enough whore! It's up to you whether she gets Templars or Mages, or elves or wolves, or whatever. Bonus k!meme points for any gangbangs.
