    Summary

    After the events of the Exalted Council, Theresa feels adrift. No Anchor, no Inquisition, no home, and no left arm. What she does have are two clear points of reference. The first is her steadfast determination to stop Solas from enacting his plan to destroy the world. The second is in her husband, Cullen. At his suggestion, they spend their honeymoon in South Reach with his family for a long-awaited reunion, where Theresa begins to recuperate. But when all the bustle of duty and danger is gone, she is left with only herself, and has to relearn who that is.

    Summary

    Modest in temper, bold in deed.

    That was the motto of House Trevelyan. But as a mage in the Ostwick Circle, Evelyn Trevelyan would only ever be able to fulfill the first half. Boldness was not something the world wanted from a mage. Evelyn had long accepted this fact, even as she dreamed of freedom, if only a fraction of the freedom others enjoyed. When a mage destroyed a Chantry in Kirkwall, starting what would become the Templar-Mage War, Evelyn found herself thrust into a world that required boldness not only for survival, but for the savior it saw in the Herald of Andraste. Can an ex-templar teach her to trust herself and the boldness he sees hidden deep inside?

    Summary

    Cullen just looks at her, his expression hard to read but his jaw set stubbornly, the quick half turn of his head telling her that he’s as aware of the curious faces peering round the sides of the tents as she is. Even if he doesn’t take the bait, she’s enjoying dangling it in front of him immensely. He doesn't seem to be a man who's all that used to being teased, which is just too bad. He's proving wonderfully slow to learn.

    Summary

    The story follows psyker Venria von Valancius on her journey of coming to terms with her past and present - from a life of fear and sorrow to suddenly being named a Rogue Trader and new head of the von Valancius dynasty, while dealing with all the problems and threats she seemed to have inherited from her predecessor.
    There is also an agent of the holy Inquisition following her every step, observing and reporting any trespassing to his master - while they have a difficult start, they discover how much they actually have in common.

    For related art of Venria and Heinrix: https://www.tumblr.com/cawyden-gaming/755622477368049664/rogue-trader-related-art?source=share
    I also add artwork directly to the end of the corresponding chapters.

    -> While this story follows the events of the game and stays mostly close to canon, it unfolds often only between the game's quests. Expect a lot of Heinrix/Venria interaction as this is a dialog-heavy story with a focus on Venria and her developing relationship with Heinrix van Calox.

    Summary

    Runa von Valancius is the latest Lord Captain at the end of a long line of Rogue Traders representing House von Valancius. Unceremoniously thrust into the impossible responsibility of leading the infamous dynasty, the former leader of an outlaw gang of smugglers almost has her work cut out for her. Pressing forward into her new life, the friendly, affable voidborn woman tries her hardest to leave behind the scars of a very turbulent past, learning to balance the horrors alongside the endless bureaucracy of her new responsibilities. Just as she starts to believe that she's making progress, she's abducted and almost dies in the pits of Commorragh, finding unexpected solace in the arms of her Interrogator — who is fighting his own struggle between his enormous, immutable duty to the Golden Throne, and his emergent affections for Runa.

    Cue obligations of duty, moral dilemmas, PTSD nightmares, banter, and sex.

    Post-Commorragh, sometimes canon, mostly not. Inspired by the spectacular writing of this excellent game.
