Summary
In the aftermath of the Fifth Blight, two children of northern Ferelden are called back to the Coastlands. Elissa Cousland, the newly married queen and Warden-Commander, tries to rally what remains of the Grey Wardens to stamp out the evil still stalking the countryside. Nathaniel Howe, suddenly with nothing left to lose, returns to his ancestral home to sift through the wreckage of his family's reputation. During the increasingly desperate bid to save Amaranthine from the awakening darkspawn, they are haunted by grief both for those they have lost and for the lives they thought they would lead. All the while, they share the unique ability to understand the other's plight — for better or for worse.

Summary
Eighteen months ago, Bryn Cousland crawled out of the burning wreckage of her home and into the Blight, without a Grey Warden there to catch her. Now the Blight is over, the Grey Wardens are rebuilding their order in Ferelden, and Bryn wants to be a hero. What better way than to present herself at Vigil's Keep as a recruit?
And then the Hero of Ferelden conscripts the son of her family's murderer, and Bryn realises that she probably made a mistake.
(Mostly canon-compliant to Awakening, but with a lot of original content.)

Summary
When the lack of an heir causes a breakdown in her marriage, Stevaine Cousland throws herself into the search for a cure to the taint.
But the coming Exalted Council to decide the fate of the Inquisition forces her to confront her past. And royal husband.AU where the Couslands grew up knowing Cailan. Lots of flashback stuff. There's probably a bunch of other Plot too, but ... I'm crap at blurbs. In short: everyone's a mess and no one is ok.
If you've been with me for a while, you might recognise bits of this as something I posted then deleted. We'll see how far it gets this time. I'm not wonderful at angst, but I do love this story.

Summary
After escaping Earth during the initial Reaper attack, Meredith Greenhowe finds herself aboard a failing shuttle with an unconscious Turian - Sius Aetrius. It quickly becomes evident that they have something in their possession which would help with the construction of the Crucible. Hijinks ensue.
(I don't really know what I'm doing, I'm here for the slow-burn).___
NB re. the rating: I changed the tag from T to M, because of sex in chapters 25, 29 & 39.
Chapter 40 - lying to people you love, depictions of a woman in meltdown, probably dv tbh.
Chapter 44 - depictions of the early stages of labour.Sequel/spin-off can be found here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/81187716/chapters/213385296

Summary
"Any intentions there, Lieutenant?"
"No, ma'am. Just... art appreciation."
--
In this fic, I believe...
> that Shepard, by her very nature, will never stop beating her head against that wall until she finally gets her way
> that Kaidan has spent most of his life perfecting his self-control and willpower like his very life depends on it
> that James has absolutely no idea what the fuck is going on
> that Kasumi belongs in absolutely every Mass Effect fic involving voyeurismThis is pure, horny voyeur porn from the third paragraph all the way through. I try to avoid describing FemShep too much, so that ideally anyone can insert their own version if that's what you want.
