    Summary

    After King Alistair Theirin’s coronation, Gwen Cousland left Denerim and spent her time drifting across southern Thedas and fulfilling her duties as a Grey Warden. For ten years she missed the friendships she had enjoyed during the Blight—and Alistair’s love, even though she knew that ending things between them had been the logical decision.

    Now, she has been summoned to Skyhold to help train the Inquisition’s troops, and she is already anxious to speak with Leliana and Morrigan for the first time in years. She has no idea that Ferelden’s king is also at the keep on diplomatic business. When the two reunite, they may have a chance to find new happiness together, but only if they can win a deadly race against the Calling.

    Summary

    “My lady, whatever you think—“ Cullen began

    “I think you are afraid of me,” she said abruptly, cutting him off. “And I know that I am afraid of you.”

    Cullen's stomach twisted violently. He felt sick. He didn't want to be afraid of her. And the thought of any mage being fearful of him was not something he wanted to consider. But the thought of her being afraid of him was almost unbearable, though he couldn't quite say why.

    But she didn't look afraid. She looked determined. Fearless. She was meeting his gaze steadily, not flinching from this truth that lay painfully exposed between them. “Am I wrong, Commander?”

    Rosalind Trevelyan made a promise to her brother: to remember that magic is meant to serve, and never rule. But can she keep this promise when everyone around her expects her to lead? A slow-burn romance between Cullen Rutherford and Rosalind Trevelyan (mage).

    Eventual sexy times, but it will take a while. Like. . . a looooong while! (Psst, Chapters 43 and 44!)

    Summary

    "What in the Maker's name were you supposed to do when you liked a woman?" It's a question Alistair has asked himself far too many times since unexpectedly meeting her in the Wilds. And though he knows he should be focusing on the Blight, he can't seem to help himself around her - from falling deeper into his attraction for her. Ayla finds herself in a world far different from her home of Fallor, and in need of help to get back. While she's more than willing to enjoy the company of the handsome Warden helping her, she has no interest in falling in love with him - or so she thinks. Will go between a couple of POVs, and be a bit AU, but still follow major events. Also has a Cousland origin with a background Cousland/Morrigan romance. Will have mature/explicit content in future, the chapters containing it will have warnings.
