Summary
Andrea Trevelyan would give anything, anything in the world, to make sure the people she loves are safe. She followed her siblings to the Conclave expecting that the Revered Mother of her Chantry was correct and her ability to talk sense into people would be necessary to prevent fights. She never expected that anything bad might happen there. No one did.
Still, bad things somehow have a habit of happening when one least expects them, and sometimes they inadvertantly lead to good outcomes. Andrea is reunited with her childhood best friend, the woman she's loved since she was old enough to understand what love is, Josephine Montilyet. And what's more, there's now a child--an innocent victim of the disaster--who has decided Josephine is the next best thing to a mom all things considered. Andrea won't stand for anyone else getting hurt, and if that means learning to fight--and potentially kill--to protect Josephine and her new apprentice, Andrea may have to do just that.

Summary
It's about connections, Andrea thinks. About building: new from old; alliances on paper; bridges from words 'Welcome to the Inquisition.' About looking down before you step up. Progress is built upon compromises and agreements, on all the history that came before--even if it hurts.
The future, Andrea thinks, is all of that and more. It's about love and trust; about family both new and old, born and found, made and chosen. There's so many things to do, so many people that need to be brought to Haven--or are finding their own way there. Like it or not, Andrea knows, as the Herald of Andraste she's at the center of everything now, which means she'll need to get used to surprises.

Summary
When destiny calls, sometimes the only choice is to answer or die. Whether or not a Blight would count as 'destiny' is something Meiriana Mahariel never thought she'd have to answer. But an answer she will get, an answer that will change the course of history.
They named this the Age of the Dragon as a sign of immense change to come. None expected one of those changes to be an Archdemon awakening. But when the Archdemon awakens, the Grey-Wardens will answer the call.

Summary
The longer Andrea stays in Haven, the more she regrets the day her eldest brother took the throne in Ostwick--as that was the day she lost contact with the person she loved most in the world--and the more she begins to wonder if maybe it truly was Divine Intervention that led her to Haven in the first place. Not necessarily because she's supposed to save the world, she thinks, but rather because now she has a chance to change her fate and win back the woman she lost to her brother's bigotry so long ago.
Once, when she was young and selfish, Lady Josephine Montilyet accused her mother of lying because of something she hadn't even understood the significance of. With no knowledge of the bigotry that tore them apart, she continued for years attempting to contact the love she'd lost the day Tomas Trevelyan took the throne. Now fate has seen to it that that woman is back in her life, but she's changed so much. Josephine isn't sure she even wants the answer to why the love was lost between them.

Summary
There's not much Leliana isn't aware of in Haven, sometimes because she's the Spymaster, other times because people happen to be talking where she can hear them. Usuaully, if something happens in Haven, Leliana is aware of it. Lately, most of the focus has been on the Herald of Andraste--Andrea Trevelyan, and after Andrea allows Leliana to overhear a conversation between her and a chantry sister from Ostwick, Leliana starts to wonder just how much of the reason Andrea is in Haven is truly coincidence, and how much just might actually be Divine Intervention.

Canon timeline is shit so I threw it out by Subtlety Lost (fishstic)
Fandom: Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age: Origins
30 May 2025
Summary
It's very clear BioWare developed the games with absolutely no regard for how long it would actually take to travel between objectives, thus imo making the timeline they present for how long things actually take in each game [except DA2] a bit well--completely bullshit. Therefore, I'm tossing out 99% of the timeline for the events of the games/story, keeping only one major thing: the Fifth Blight starts in 9:30 Dragon. Everything else's timings will be decided based on how long the events would actually take for characters to get to.
Yes, I get it's all fiction and just a game but in the stories I'm writing I need it to all make sense for my own sanity. For the sake of these stories, assume any dates listed in any of them (especially Lost In Subtlety) are correct for this new version of the timeline.

Summary
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who adored her older brother. She thought that she would grow up to do great things when she was older.
She did. Just not the way she or anyone else would have ever wanted to.

For thirteen years, Asha Trevelyan was Tranquil.
Helpful.
Obedient.
Unfeeling.
Now she desperately wishes she could have stayed that way... and before the ashes settle, so will half of Thedas.Bookmarked by Subtlety Lost (fishstic)

Summary
The Hufflepuff was so focused on trying to get away as stealthily as she could that she barely noticed the quick footsteps of the boys leaving the scene, fast, much less the softer ones that approached her. So, she jumped a little when she felt a hand on her shoulder. However, unlike the previous touch she'd been subjected to, this one was gentle. Angela followed the quickly retrieving hand and her heart leaped a little when she saw the green in the robes.
Slytherin. Of course it would be a Slytherin. This is not my lucky day, apparently.

Summary
It’s strange how accustomed you become to Drifting with someone, how familiar you become with your partner.
And then it fades away and leaves an empty void in its wake and Angela feels unbalanced, unsettled, like a set of scales weighing down too heavily on one side, like a windblown leaf without a place to land, like the lonely eagle that can’t find a current of warm air to bear it home.
She yearns for equilibrium.
