Pawns and Prejudice by WhatHappensNext
Fandom: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon's Dogma
14 Dec 2025
Summary
A runaway mage with no past.
An Arisen with no heart.
Two worlds bound by a Rift that was never meant to hold either of them.
When Risa and Anders are pulled into each other’s orbit—first by fate, then by choice—they uncover a truth older than dragons: pawns remember more than they should, the cycles were never natural, and some hearts are taken long before they’re claimed.
As war, myth, and magic collide, they’ll fight to break a system built on sacrifice…and discover something stubbornly, unexpectedly human growing between them.- Words:

Out of the Frying Pan by WhatHappensNext
Fandom: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Video Game), Fallout 4
26 Nov 2025
Summary
Nora wasn’t meant to survive one world-ending disaster, let alone two.
The Commonwealth chewed her up, and the Breach spat her out—hurling her into Thedas with a past she can’t outrun and powers she never asked for. Every choice costs her something: a life, a loyalty, a piece of herself. Every world she touches demands another sacrifice.From the battlements of Skyhold to the rooftops of Treviso to the fractured heart of the Fade, Nora fights beside allies who don’t trust her, gods who want to claim her, and lovers she can’t afford to need. Old wounds follow her. New ones bloom. And the fate of Thedas twists tighter around her with every step she takes.
She didn’t ask to be a hero. She refuses to be a weapon.
Out of the Frying Pan follows Nora’s journey across worlds, factions, and impossible choices—a story of survival, stubborn hope, sharp edges, and the people she would burn whole kingdoms to protect.
