Summary
"Antagonising him counts as getting along?"
"Oh, that wasn't antagonising!" Alistair insisted, but the sparkle in his eye said otherwise. "That was…friendly banter."
Elissa laughed softly. "I'm sure he didn't see it that way."
"No, perhaps not."
The way he smiled was disarming. Not that Elissa had spent time with Grey Wardens, but she knew enough soldiers, and this young man with his playful grin and big brown eyes didn't strike her as a hardened warrior. He was tall, though, and so very broad under his armour.
Elissa Cousland never wanted to be queen. With the murder of her family, and little choice but to follow the Grey Warden who saved her life, Elissa finds herself one of the last two wardens in Ferelden. All they have to do is uncover a treasonous conspiracy, restore order to the throne, and stop the blight...all of which seems far easier than denying her growing feelings for bastard prince of Ferelden who won't stop smiling at her.

Summary
“This place feels like a prison…”
Cullen turned, his head tilted when he looked Evelyn directly in the eye. She’d spoken aloud.
“It is not a prison. The Gallows is a circle tower like any other,” he told her curtly. “You and all mages are here for your protection, as well as others.”
Evelyn frowned. She’d heard this rhetoric many times in her life as a circle mage. For a while, she may have even believed it, but nothing about the Gallows felt like it was for her protection.
What if the Commander of the Inquisition and the Inquisitor had met before the events of the Conclave?
As the tensions in Kirkwall begin to rise without an elected Viscount, Evelyn Trevelyan is transferred to The Gallows. With the Templar Order splintering into factions under Meredith's paranoia, and Orsino losing his grip on his authority, the last thing Evelyn needs is growing feelings for the Knight-Captain. Especially one who seems determined to keep her at arms length...

Summary
"The Silverite Society is a very exclusive club that caters to those with our tastes. Expect debauchery and nudity."
It was fortunate Dorian wasn't present to witness Evelyn's eyes bulging. "A sex club?! Dorian, have you just put in a recommendation for Cullen and me to be members of a sex club?"
"You're welcome."
In their years together, Evelyn Trevelyan and Cullen Rutherford have found some enjoyable pastimes behind closed doors. Now, thanks to an invitation to an exclusive club where the elite of Thedas come to play, they're about to learn about a whole new social scene.
A spiritual sequel to "At Your Order".

Summary
"Papa, I want to be a Templar."
Cullen went still. So still, if it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, Evelyn would have presumed he'd turned to stone on the spot. A heartbeat of thick silence passed before Cullen spoke.
"No."
"But Papa—"
"No, Cael," he repeated firmly, standing from his seat. "It is not an option."
At twelve years old, Cullen and Evelyn's youngest son declares he wants to join the Templar Order, and predictably, Cullen has feelings about it

Summary
Hawke peered around them, the stairs to the Viscount's keep looming nearby. Even with an estate in Hightown and bestowed an honorary title, she always felt a little out of place in the more affluent areas. Stinking of booze, all she wanted to do was crawl back into bed and sleep it off as the Maker would have intended.
"What are we even doing here?" Hawke whined. "Let me go and die in peace, will you?"
Isabela turned to the stairs. "You know as well as I do, before you can start a job, a little research needs to be done."
"Research…on what?"
The grin that stretched across Isabela's face didn't reassure Hawke.
"Guardsman Donnic."
Suspecting that Aveline could do with some companionship, a night of drinking leads to Isabela dragging Hawke into her scheme to hook up Kirkwall's guard captain with the man she's pining for. Unfortunately for Hawke, that just means more drinking...

Summary
The conclave was supposed to bring peace.
Instead, there is only death, destruction, a hole in the sky and a mark she doesn't understand burning on her palm.
Lyria Trevelyan has only ever wanted freedom, safety, a quiet life where her magic wasn't seen as a curse. But with the Temple of Sacred Ashes destroyed, that hope seems farther away than ever. As the only survivor, the Chantry condemns her as a heretic and probable murderer, pilgrims believe her Andraste's herald come to save them and the late Divine's fledgling Inquisition looks to her to seal the breach.
The entire world is counting on her, but Lyria knows she is no hero, not strong or brave.
Except, maybe, just maybe, she's wrong.

Mountains Go Into Labor by IsiloAranel

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
This is the story of Inquisitor Olivia Trevelyan, noble lady of Ostwick and cunning rogue. But is she what she seems? A cold-hearted bitch with an unquenchable thirst for meaningless sex, or a deeply damaged individual just waiting for the right person to convince her it's okay to want more.
AKA: Cullen and Trevelyan bone. A lot.
☆AMAZING artwork in chapters 9, 15, 19, 20 & 21!☆

Summary
Ashvalla Lavellan wasn't supposed to fall in love with the distrustful Commander of the Inquisition. She was supposed to find her sister - now the Herald of Andraste - in a village full of Shems, ensure her safety, and do everything necessary to ensure she remained alive. But being possessed by a spirit of Love meant she could not hide from her unwanted feelings, nor could she escape the reality of her situation; no matter how much she wished otherwise, a possessed mage and a former Templar could never be.
If only that could stop her heart from beating faster every time she was near him.
