    Summary

    Astarion hates how very, nauseatingly kind Willow is.

    It's also one of his favorite things about her (or it will be).

    A shameless self-indulgent fic where someone doesn't give into the feral-cat anger of Astarion, and he manages to snag a 10/10 goody good.

    Departs from Canon (probably a lot oops)

    Summary

    "Please consider what I’m about to say. Think of it as you return to your mother. You must put as much thought into it as you can. Will you? Please, promise me you will.”

    “Yes! Whatever it is, I’ll consider it.”

    “Eventually Lord Hades will have mercy upon you. He will. I know that must sound strange—the most severe of the gods showing mercy where his kindred won’t—but it’s the truth. The Olympians are more… unreliable. The only way I can see to protect the Underworld and in turn you and your mother is this: Bind yourself to me.” His hands tremble. He brushes his thumb along the crook of Zag’s throat, so very sweet, even when he’s rigid with tension. “Wed me.”

     

    Raised by his mother far away from both Olympus and the Underworld, a strange series of events leads Zagreus to meeting a faceless, nameless Chthonic god.

    Summary

    Sebastian is tired of the same old routine. Every single day was the same. He's starting to crave a change in pace and scenery. Who knew all it would take was one farmer to shake his whole world.

    Luna wants to start anew and make a name for herself. So of course she jumps at the opportunity to take over her grandfather's old farm. She'd never imagined she'd befriend the local loner. Turns out the two had more in common then they'd thought.

    Summary

    When a rash decision leaves her with the deed to her grandpa’s dilapidated farm, Isabel’s pride won’t let her admit that she’s in over her head. She knows more about computers and Cave Saga than farming or fishing, but she’s determined to make her new life work.

    All Sebastian wants to do is get out of the dead-end town he’s known all his life, until an encounter with the new farmer turns his world upside-down. When she speaks, he recognizes the sultry voice of his longtime online gaming partner. In person, she’s more than he could have ever imagined — more beautiful, more insightful, more quick-witted and much, much more out of his league.

    But he’s got a plan for that.

    Summary

    What should have been a short diplomatic trip, soon turned into a nightmare when Alex finds herself to be the only survivor of an apparent attack on the summit.
    Whisked away as a prisoner and suspect of the attack, she needs to fight to prove her innocence as Thedas starts to fall apart around her and the strangers around her seem to be the only ones that might have the will to stop it all from happening.

    Marked by faith and pitted against almost impossible odds, Alex must trust in her captors, colourful new acquaintances and a close band of advisors who all believe that she might hold the key to solving it all.
    With the world falling to pieces around her and the lingering conflict breaking down society as it spreads, the race against time begins to unite opposing forces for the good of all.

    Summary

    It’s been two decades since Orianna Trevelyan laid eyes on her sister. Erased like a stain from the tapestry of her family tree, locked away in Starkhaven’s Circle and left to languish. The rebellion gives her freedom, a renewed chance at a life. And then it’s gone in an instant. A wound in the sky, the world at war, her sister returned, hand outstretched, palm shorn in two by the magic their family so loathed. And an ex-templar that she should fear, but doesn’t.

    Summary

    In those moments of darkness, we found one another...

    When the Conclave between the mages and the Templars is called, Bann Ferdinand of Ostwick sends his eldest son to represent the family, and Ostwick, at these talks. But when they hear of a tragedy of untold proportions unfolding in its midst, his daughter, Lady Amelie Hargrove, sets out to Ferelden to bring her brother home – dead or alive. When she arrives at Haven, she finds herself in a new world, one so different from her quaint life in Ostwick, and where the machinations of Corypheus, and her developing affections towards the Inquisition's commander, threaten to change her life, her family, and her world, forever.

    Summary

    “He admits he's in awe because there’s no magic here, just raw strength and agility. He watches with intensity as her performance continues, a dance with death, a duel against gravity. His heart reaches the summit just as she plummets but she never hits the ground and he finds himself standing and clapping. Sera shoves him back down in his seat. But he wants to meet her, this woman who defies gravity, see her one last time with his own eyes.”

    Solas wasn't looking for love but isn't that often how it's found?

    Summary

    Never in his life had Zevran encountered a beautiful noble woman standing above him, wiping the blood of his allies from her blades with the same amount of interest as if she were cleaning a kitchen knife.

    Her gruesome smirk was gone, replaced with a look of disinterest, border lining on bored. She paid no mind to the blood that left spots on her pale cheeks as deep, grey eyes surveyed him. One dark eyebrow was arched, but still her facial expression was torturously unreadable.

    “I see you haven’t killed me yet,” he said with yet another sigh.

    “That could be easily rectified.”

    Summary

    Beholden is my contribution to the 2015 Dragon Age Big Bang Challenge.

    For the other half of the challenge, Scarlet Hawke and Fenris have been brilliantly immortalized by picchar on Tumblr.

    http://picchar.tumblr.com/post/119465375971/my-part-of-the-dragon-age-big-bang-with?utm_medium=email&utm_source=html&utm_campaign=new_mention_normal_friends&utm_term=post_119465375971

    Scarlet Hawke, a refugee escaping the Blight in Ferelden, settles in Kirkwall, across the Waking Sea. There, she meets Fenris, an elf who is trying to outrun his former slave-master. Fenris hopes she will be able to help end his pursuit. But, will Scarlet find the time while she’s responsible for the welfare of an entire city-state? Not only is Kirkwall embroiled in the midst of an intensifying conflict between its mages and the Templar Order that governs them, but it’s also currently housing an isolated group of horned giants, the Qunari, whose tension with the ruling Viscount only escalates.

    As Fenris hunts for freedom, and searches for answers to a past he cannot remember, he can’t help but become part of Hawke’s team, and part of her family.

    Summary

    Fenris handed Piper a salt-stained WANTED poster. “You might want to see this,” he said flatly.

    She took the poster with a grin. “Hah! The only thing I should be wanted for is stealing Kirkwall’s most beautiful lady and most handsome commander for my crew.” She winked jauntily at Hawke and Cullen.

    Cullen’s cheeks turned a charming shade of pink, and Hawke playfully fanned herself. “Why thank you, Captain,” Hawke purred. “Where are we headed next?”

    Piper handed the poster to Varric, then lovingly wrapped her fists around the handles of the helm. “That’s the beauty of it, my friends,” she announced. “Any fucking place we like.”

    Summary

    This is a sequel to the story "The Soul has Bandaged Moments." Same capable (and slightly odd) Inquisitor, same stuffy (and extremely sexy) Commander.

    But now it falls to Evelyn to make decisions about the future: both the Inquisition's, and her own. Evelyn seeks to examine the past of the Inquisition in order to not repeat its mistakes, but she and her companions must also deal with their own histories before they can move forward.

    Still a story about a couple of adults trying to make it work, despite their pasts. Still told in the Inquisition's own words through letters and journal entries. Still got humor, sex, friendship, and romance. Pace will be different since I'm going off-canon (with plenty of DLC-lore-related backup), but we'll see how it goes. Whee!
