    Summary

    Lucy, the only child of a Nord merchant family, has always wanted to be a mage. If she could, she'd quit the merchant's life, leave her damned hometown and join the College of Winterhold, but her steadfast parents have made it near impossible. Feeling like a caged bird, she escapes in stories and legends of magic until the most unexpected event plunges everything into chaos.

    One autumn day, the Imperial Legion brings in another cart of death-sentenced prisoners to be executed. Among them sits a young, pink-haired man with the College's symbol embroidered into his robes. He casts Lucy a quick glance before they drag him to the block. When he lays his head down, a dragon appears from a cloudless sky, suddenly and without a warning. Almost as if fate brought it here this day after centuries of endless slumber.

    In the blink of an eye, the lively town is turned into a smoldering ruin - and Lucy's life into ashes at the same. A mage, the one Lucy saw among the prisoners, saves her from the dragon's flames, and so begins an adventure which changes her life once and for all.

    Summary

    (A retelling of the events in Inquisition. Direct sequel to “Never Alone For Long”.)

    The sky was ripped open, the veil stretched thinner. Hawke may not be at the center of it all, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to sit back and let the Elf deal with it by himself. The Hero of Kirkwall faces greater dangers, memories resurfacing (sometimes unbidden), and stories are told.

    Why does everyone keep asking for stories about her, she can’t possibly be that interesting?

    In short:
    Hawke has to deal with world ending bullshit again, only this time it could actually end the world.

    Varric has to deal with being married to a damn protagonist facing the end of the world, only this time it’s his world that might end.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    “If I just explained what was at stake... if I just made him understand...”

    Alright Cassandra, let’s play along with that.

    What would have happened?

    Summary

    “If I just explained what was at stake... if I just made him understand...”

    Alright Cassandra, let’s play along with that. Let’s say your romantic heart shined through. Let’s say you treated Varric fairly from the get go. Since we all know Varric/Cassandra friendship would have been amazing in inquisition if the cards had been played a little differently.

    And because I will go down with this blasted ship, let’s say Hawke and Varric fell in love.

    What would have happened then?
