    Summary

    Miraak is taken aback by her eyes—they remind him of wild dancing flames bursting out from two conflagrating spurts; gold, molten and seething, effusing inside a blacksmith’s scorching forge; honey—when was the last time he thought something about food?—dripping most sweetly down his throat; sun, sun, sun, sky-lighting, earth-nurturing.

    He decides he has seen those eyes before, through visions or reality, he cannot precisely say; only that he knows their shape and color forever, even though he cannot reminisce about encountering another human with such unique eyes.


    Jia is the Last Dragonborn: the heroine of a legendary destiny complete, a fire-breathing dragoness trapped in a mortal body. Miraak is the First Dragonborn: a Traitor undefined, a frost-breathing dragon trapped in Oblivion, of the same destiny forsaken.

    But was it ever truly forsaken? What does the First mean for the Last? What will they both mean to Skyrim, divided, kingless, and bleeding as it is now?

    Summary

    Rook put his affairs in order. He hugged a confused Viago and broke up with Harding. He needled Solas, and arranged things with Emmerich because he understands these things. He didn't say anything to anyone else, because it would all be a big mess and too many feelings he didn't have the capacity to deal with. He didn't say anything to Varric, but he thought the old man would get it anyway.

    It's not that Rook planned not to make it back. But. Well. Better to be practical about these things, and make sure the team would make it out the other end.

    Rook saw it all balance on the edge of a knife, and made the call. He fell into the blight, lost to the Veilguard and failing his mission.

    Rook wakes up.

    -

     

    Rook takes the fall and wakes up back in time, around the start of Inquisition. Lost, but determined to make things better this time. For other people.

    Summary

    Things are changing for 27-year-old Diana Trevelyan. She’s just published her debut novel, just moved to a house deep in the wilderness to start work on her second, just acquiesced to the pressure of her doctors and gotten herself her first pair of hearing aids. But the hearing world is not all it’s cracked up to be and while isolation is what she so desperately sought, her newly mechanical ears have started to play tricks on her.

    For Cullen Rutherford, things are staying unpleasantly the same. The same gig on his old service buddy’s cattle ranch, the same exasperated sponsor, the same nightmares. But as the autumn grows colder, reports of wolves terrorizing cattle become darker and stranger and Cullen finds himself forced to fall back on his training, and back into all his old fears.

    The two meet in a sleepy mountain town as it prepares for its coldest, snowiest winter in decades. Will they be able to overcome their demons and find solace in each other? And what is happening out high on those lonely peaks?

    Summary

    Okay, so maybe she had been so focused on taking care of her team that she hadn’t really been successful at taking care of herself. And maybe she hadn’t been getting enough sleep, or enough to eat, or even getting enough time to clean her clothes. Gods (definitely not the Elvin ones), she must stink (maybe the Evlin ones, she hoped they stunk).

    But she never claimed to be good at juggling, so why is everyone so surprised?

    Summary

    Imogen McLean is glad she's played the series before. She's read the novels, she's flipped through the comics. She knows what's going to happen. She's got secrets to spill and canon to break. Now if she could just keep her hands off the Dread Wolf, this might all go a bit easier. Besides, he's got plans of his own. He's not the staying kind, and she knows better than to get attached.

    You hear that, Thedas? She's not going to get attached. She's not.

    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.
