    Summary

    "Romance, he says. As if I could possibly be romanced by a man who thinks it's acceptable to pluck living things from the dirt and stuff them into his face."

    It would seem a high-class fellow from Tevinter and a Dalish elf from the woods have slightly different understandings of what constitutes "cuisine." Well, no matter -- that doesn't stop them from exploring the many culinary worlds of Thedas.... some more horrible than others.

    (actually just an excuse for dumb banter honestly)

    Summary

    They’re the broken ones. That’s what Clint figures the rest think about him and Barnes. Clint with his eardrums trashed, Barnes with a regiment’s worth of trauma and a psychotic cybernetic arm, put in the same room and told to make nice while the others get to go on missions and do important things and save the world.

    Well they're not broken. So of course they got bored and tired of being sidelined and decided to entertain themselves. And of course they ended up wanted, running through the streets of Paris with bananas down their pants and gendarmes in pursuit. Of course they did.

    Summary

    Having been exiled from Ferelden at the Landsmeet, Alistair has spent 10 years doing odd mercenary jobs across the Free Marches and drinking excessively. Now an Inquisition agent has found him and is requesting his assistance in finding the Grey Wardens. While working for the Inquisition, Alistair finds new purpose and forges new friendships. This story features occasional, canon-typical violence and a slow burn romantic relationship leading to eventual smuttiness.

    Summary

    “There are two people I can think of who might know anything,” Lavellan said. “Experts - on the Fade, on the history of elvhenan. Unfortunately,” a grimace, “one of them has vanished, and if all the resources of the Inquisition can’t find him, I doubt you can.”

    “And the other?” Fenris demanded.

    “Something from my own history, for once. Not an Inquisition thing. There is - a criminal,” said Lavellan. “Exiled from the clans. She was the blood mage who murdered Clan Sabrae and its Keeper. Last I heard she was living in Kirkwall. A very dangerous woman - possibly insane, actually - but I met her once at Arlathven, and if anyone could help you -”

    Merrill?
    _

    Hawke was left in the Fade. Fenris goes looking for him. He doesn't go alone.

    Summary

    What happens when Duncan recruits two Grey Wardens instead of one?

    A pragmatic Circle mage and an idealistic noble; this is their tale.

    [Includes some past sexual abuse in a few chapters, DA2 spoilers and smut in the middle.] Very slightly AU and there will be some changes here and there, particularly in later chapters.

    Being edited as of Jan 2016 so it matches sequel quality.

    Summary

    The Circle of Magi was a shelter, a refuge. The Circle of Magi was a prison, a cage. Outside of it, nothing fails to amaze sweet, naive Solona Amell. Not the sun that warms her face or the sky that streaks red and gold as it sets. Not the wild apostate who’s never been sheltered or caged. Not the half-mad Chantry sister who thinks the Maker Himself speaks to her in visions and symbols. Especially not the almost-templar who’s nothing like a templar, with his wayward golden smiles. The world is bigger and more beautiful than Solona could ever have guessed. But no one ever warned her that beauty is something you can break yourself against.

    Because there can never be too many retellings of Origins. Or too much Alistair. Unless you think there can? In which case, feel free to skip this.

    Summary

    A follow up to my Cullen/Amell saga to get Alistair some attention and love.

    Alistair's life isn't all bad. He's King, he's got two kids he adores a wife he's vaguely aware exists. The only thing missing in that blissful domestic picture is someone to love. But all in all, things are weirdly working out for him.

    That all changes when assassins dare to come after him and his children on the little prince's naming day. With a threat daring to be so brash to attack the King, he takes on a personal bodyguard. Picked seemingly at random from the City Watch, Reiss thought she was little more than an average elf trying to make it in thedas. Now it's all on her to keep the King alive against this enigmatic threat, and try to ignore the fact she keeps blushing whenever he smiles.

    Summary

    "My name is Alistair. I'm an almost-templar, a full-time Grey Warden and a royal bastard... but, shush, this is actually a secret. This is my story... although it's not alone about me... It's more like my version of how the most unlikely bunch of losers accidentally saves the world. And no, I'm not exaggerating. It's a tale worth being told and worth reading. It's pretty tragic, mind you, with lots of villains, treacherous bastards, dragons and more darkspawn than I can count. But also kinda funny... we laugh more than you would expect. And you're going to meet the most ravishing, beautiful and cunning young woman ever... my woman. Maker's Breath, she's amazing! And she's the reason why this story contains a whole lot of... lamppost licking... err... Now, why don't you just read it while I stand over there until the blushing stops, yes?"

    Alistair's POV of the events during the Fifth Blight and his love for the Cousland Warden. The story follows the game with lots of extras.

    Rated explicit for what happens after chapter 28. Before, oh, well, you know this is about adorably woo-less Alistair, so what else to expect?

    Fan Art Collections Chapters 99 and 100.

    Summary

    A personal invitation from Divine Justinia and a sealed Circle file? Evelyn Trevelyan was as much an enigma as the glowing mark on her hand to Leliana. Cassandra believed her family influenced her special position at the Conclave, much like they garnered respect and fear in the Chantry and the Templar Order. The noble family’s exclusive lyrium shipping rights across the Waking Sea awed Josephine. Cullen figured their new Herald of Andraste was a just fragile, snobby Circle mage. Her cooperation was vital if the Inquisition wished to seal the Breach.

    Who they got was Enchanter Evie Trevelyan, an overly sarcastic, easily angered fire mage who mistrusts the advisors as much as herself. Their new ‘Herald of Andraste’ swayed between an inspirational icon and a weeping, broken woman. As the mage and the Inquisition discover their new roles in chaotic Thedas, everyone’s pasts creep into the picture. More is there than meets the eye. Can the Inquisition protect their Herald from assassins, conflicting mages and templars, and each other? The Inquisition and its leaders must be her safe haven.

    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!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I’m a million years late to this fic and want to avoid it in fear you may never finish but I loved your previous story so much that I can’t. This massive run on sentence is simultaneously a thank you for your words and a plea to keep writing.

    Summary

    Part 2 of Daughters of Andraste
    (Character death warning for Here Lies the Abyss.)

    Adamant Friends, Faded Lovers
    Inquisitor Katerina Trevelyan has one goal: to stop Corypheus from raising a demon army.

    Okay, Kate has two goals: stop Corypheus, and keep Cullen from dying of lyrium withdrawals. She and the former templar have become friends now, after all. Just friends, mind you. But then Brigid Hawke and her entourage explode on the scene, Robert Trevelyan finds himself desperate to impress Cassandra, Colleen Lavellan stumbles into a love triangle (sort of?), and Leliana is spying on...everyone?

    So you know. It's business as usual at Skyhold.

    Welcome to my lore-friendly re-imagining of Dragon Age Inquisition, with multiple plotlines, 'ships, original characters, humor, slow-burn romance, smexy stuff, and more! Part 1 is complete, Part 2 (this bit) is ongoing. Thanks for picking up my fic and I hope you enjoy it!

    Summary

    To my longtime readers and fans: thank you for your support!
    And to my new readers: Welcome! I hope you enjoy my fiction!

    HAVEN: Part 1 of Daughters of Andraste
    In which the Herald learns to rise to the occasion, her charming cousin tries for Cassandra, her Dalish friend causes mayhem, and Cullen is competent, gruff, and yet adorkable.

    Kate Trevelyan, mage and earnest, genteel nerd, travels to the Conclave with Colleen Lavellen, an ex-Dalish-turned-librarian, and Robert Trevelyan, her charming smuggler cousin. But when the Divine's peace talks explode, Robert falls in with bad company, Coll finds herself chasing mercs, and Kate becomes...the Herald of Andraste? Sort of. Kate has absolutely NO idea what she’s doing, and her growing attraction to a certain former templar isn’t helping.

    Welcome to a lore-friendly re-imagining of Dragon:Age Inquisition, with multiple 'ships, divergent plotlines, an interweaving of both in-game and original characters, humor, angst, fluffy romance and ALL the feels. Mobile friendly version available at SageFic.com thanks to my lovely husband Bladwarden.

    Enjoy!

    Summary

    Siblings Naomi and James Westerkamp were living normal lives, attending school, looking for jobs, wishing they didn't have to live with their parents.

    Their lives were good. They were stable. They were safe.

    That was ripped away when an explosion and a flash of green light knocked them out while hiking with their family on vacation. Naomi and James woke injured and confused in a strange world with technology centuries in the past, magic, and mythical creatures that only existed in stories.

    But they were also dropped into the middle of a conflict they could only begin to understand, where fighting demons was more than just a figure of speech.

    Life in Thedas is dangerous, adjusting isn’t easy, and things get worse before they get better.

    Explicit rating doesn't really apply until chapter 76. This is a sloooow burn.

    Summary

    Shadows Pass, Light Remains

    She falls through a rift, into a place she only thought existed in games and books. But the timing is odd. The Inquisition has already won. So what the hell is she supposed to do? Why is she here? Chance? Or fate? At least she has no one left back home to really miss her, not anymore.

    Commander Cullen Rutherford has always given his all to his duty. But each time, his devotion to his cause has left him with scars. Demons from Kinloch, blood magic from Kirkwall, and now... lyrium from the Inquisition. Except this time, he might not make it out alive. To think that the woman who swore she loved him could do this to him...

    What else is left for him now?

    Summary

    When Josephine suggested they throw an Orlesian masked ball, Cullen never once thought he might attend, much less find...and lose...and rediscover...the love of his life.

    Of course, with Dorian, Varric and Sera playing meddling Fairy Godmother, he probably should have seen it all coming.
