    Summary

    Fen'Harel is powerful. He is cunning. He is wise.

    Fen'Harel is ruthless. He is fierce. He is terrifying.

    Fen'Harel does not cry. He does not crack. He does not break.

    But sometimes, when the weight of his burden becomes too great, when he feels like he is crumbling beneath the mantle of Fen'Harel, he seeks her out.

    He tells himself it will only be for a moment. Just one moment of relief. One moment to look upon her face and feel like he isn't drowning.

    Just one moment. That's all it will be.

    Set about a year after Trespasser, but some chapters take place during the events of DAI. Mostly canon-compliant, with a few minor-ish changes and liberties taken. Slow-ish (medium-ish?) burn, with eventual explicit smut. Canon-typical violence. Still very much a work in progress and new chapters will be posted as I finish them, and won't necessarily follow any kind of schedule.

    Summary

    Sophia Darrow was a Nurse Practitioner student when an incident landed her in a coma for over a year. Now that she's awake, she's haunted by dreams of events she can't recall. She soon discovers that magic and the Fade are real as she gets pulled into Thedas right in the middle of a war for their future. Desperate to get back home, she decides to tie her fate to the Herald's, leading the Inquisition to believe that she experiences visions of the Herald's future, so that she can be present for Adamant and re-enter the Fade - her only hope of ever making it back home.

    Yes, this is another MGIT Fic, but I hope it presents an interesting twist to the canon-divergent idea of a character knowing the future and attempting to make small changes. But what happens when those small changes become big ones? This will start out pretty canon-compliant, but will eventually present completely new content as Sophia discovers just how intertwined her fate becomes with the rest.

    Archive Warnings Apply! I'm serious. There will be graphic depictions of physical and emotional violence. I will do my best to provide warnings in specific chapters, but you've been warned! I will add tags, characters, and relationships as I post.

    Summary

    Although the Blight ended long ago, so many still bear the scars it left behind.

    Still in Redcliffe after Teagan dragged him back from Kirkwall, Alistair finds himself overwhelmed by the premature onset of The Calling. Rather than deal with the implications, he falls back on the one thing he still knows how to do- drink away his problems.

    Talia Amell, after losing her best friend and watching her home be torn apart, is desperate to return to the way things used to be. Instead, her life is ripped apart by the Mage rebellion, and she's soon on the run with a ragtag group of mage children and tranquil.

    Somehow, the two of them join the Inquisition, where, maybe, they can finally begin to heal.

    Summary

    Sierra is a modern-day business consultant who has changed the history of Thedas. Cailan survived, the Blight is over, but will there be a cost to the changes she has wrought? What about the future, still-unknown? Spoilers: DA:O, Awakenings, the Calling, Stolen Throne. Will continue into DA2 and DA:I timelines (significantly AU!). Currently in Awakenings.

    Thanks to Kira Tamarion and Melysande for editing help. I don't own Dragon Age, I just play here.
