    Summary

    Playing as a character and making your choices from behind a screen is completely different from being a part of a world where the knowledge you have and the choices you make can determine an entire world's future.

    When the newly renamed Athena finds herself walking out of the Fade and into Thedas proper she must contend with the fact that, although she only knew this world and these people as a story within a game, her new abilities and foresight can change the course of events and therefore the story itself. The only question now is, what will she choose to change and how will this new story unfold?

    Summary

    Samarra Bayart is a researcher, albeit one with a small Dragon Age obsession. So when she finds herself in Thedas, she's convinced she's in a dream... till she realizes she's not.

    Given the title of Oracle, she must carefully walk the line between using her knowledge of the game to guide the Inquisition, while protecting herself and her secrets.

    Can she put what she knows to get the best ending for the ones she cares for? Or will she crash and burn in the wolf's jaws?

    Summary

    After her discharge from the Alliance, Commander Helen Trevelyan joined the Andromeda Initiative, wanting to leave her personal tragedies and a psycho ex-boyfriend behind her. She expected to sleep for 600 years, and wake up in a med bay. Instead, she crash-landed on a snow-covered mountain, ten-thousand years later. She is alone, confused, and dying from eezo radiation. And the only sign of civilization is an old church in the distance.

    A Post-Modern Girl on Thedas fic.

    Many, many thanks to my betas, Dreadlordcherrycake and Duinemerwen, who have advised me on all matters of lore, plausibility and verb tense. If it wasn't for them, this story would still be in cryo. Any mistakes are mine, not theirs.

    I have a regular work schedule IRL, which means I don't have a regular update schedule on AO3. This story is visually supported.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    When I saw this I thought "ME/DAI crossover? it's either going to be horrid or so amazing" it's amazing! Of all the fics I've read I think I recommend this one the most.

    Summary

    Ellie (because names that start with 'E' are popular) is a girl that has absolutely no business falling into Thedas. She played Dragon Age: Origins, once, and didn't even finish it. In fact, her knowledge of Dragon Age is based entirely on fanfiction.

    Be it glorious cosmic fuck-up, or the wonders of the afterlife, she's the one that fell into Thedas instead of her fanfiction obsessed best friend. No matter - I mean, fan fiction can't be that far off from the real thing, right? ... uh, right?

    The only thing better than a character with all the information, is one with very little that may or may not be wrong!

    Thedas is screwed.

    Summary

    *** Some of you may notice that I have been going through and cleaning up the chapters, so the flow and tense is more consistent. Enjoy the changes. ***
    "There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good Pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad Pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance." -John C. Maxwell

    Thirty-two-year-old artist, Breeyanna Grant finds herself thrust into a game she barely remembers, except for one thing - she remembers that Solas is Fen'Harel, and that he wasn't here to help.
    Finding herself suddenly stuck in this strange world by an unknown, she must now find a way to live through Thedas' 'boot camp' and save everyone from the Dread Wolf.
