The Many Faces of Wisdom by cellophaneflowers
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age (Video Games)
21 Sep 2021
Tags
Summary
"A spirit's natural state is peaceful semi-existence. It is rare to be able to reflect reality. Something similar may reform one day, but it might have a different personality. It would likely not remember me. It would not be the friend I knew." Solas tells the Inquisitor this upon his return to Skyhold, but how does he know? Perhaps it's because he went searching through the Fade for his friend anyway, and discovered that while a fragment of the Wisdom that once was still lingered, it was younger and wore a different face... one that belongs to someone else he knows.

Summary
“If you are lying to me,” Merrill said calmly, dreamily, considering, “then I’ll have to kill you. I can’t let anyone else come to harm, you see.” She stroked the soft fur underneath her hand, thoughts forming a plan even as she spoke. “I’ll follow your trail, find you, and destroy you.”
The spirit raised its head to look at her, eyes golden and unblinking, deep and depthless. “Fair enough.”
-
Merrill keeps dreaming of a path. One day, she follows it.

Summary
“Sometimes your tongue is removed, sometimes you still it of your own accord. Sometimes you live, sometimes you die. Sometimes you have a name, sometimes you are named for what—not who—you are. The story always looks a little different, depending on who is telling it.”
— Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House
Gwythren is a Tranquil attending the Conclave with their guardian, Knight-Lieutenant Wyeth, out of the hope the Divine will give mages justice. But the Conclave explodes, leaving Gwythren at the center of the chaos, in possession of magic they haven't wielded in ten years, and bearing accusations of conspiracy.
The masses denominate Gwythren the Herald of Andraste. Under the burden of this title and the scrutiny that comes with it, Gwythren must grapple with their newly learned agency and the concepts of faith and personhood. Knight-Lieutenant Wyeth will be at their side, but the path to victory will come with no shortage of challenges.Bookmarked by juniper823

Summary
Like all good inventions, Evelyn Parker was born of necessity. I know, because I made her.
It takes practice, you know. Making a person. A believable person, with dreams and history and motivations. I suppose it’s like any other skill. Singing, painting, acting... The more I do it, the better I get. Which is important, because this time has to be perfect. Evelyn has to be perfect. I have to be perfect.
If I’m not, he’ll kill me.
[Or: How two women became Evelyn Parker]

Summary
Sometimes the magic takes you late. That was on his report, that it’d taken him late, because it made more sense than Kaaras having not told anyone. He’d been a good Qunari who had followed orders and done his duty, so that sequence of events had made the most sense.
In which Kaaras really, really doesn't want to become a saarebas, to the point he's willing to listen to a presence in his head offer a way out.

Balance: An Avatar/Dragon Age Crossover by Voicefullofmoney
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age (Video Games)
29 Sep 2020
Tags
Summary
What if instead of being the Avatar, Aang had to bring balance between the spirit world and the material plane as the Herald of Andraste, leader of the Inquisition? What if instead of the Firelord, Zuko was the son of the Black Divine? And what if instead of the Southern Water tribe, Sokka was the chief of a mercenary company?
This story re-imagines the plot outlines of Dragon Age: Inquisition with characters from Avatar: the Last Airbender. It is the story of the unlikely and somewhat volatile romance that sparks between Sokka and Zuko as they work together with the rest of the Inquisition to help Inquisitor Aang stop Ozai, Black Divine and head of the Venatori, from tearing Thedas apart.
Note: This story was written to be accessible to fans of Avatar who have never played any Dragon Age games. The only Dragon Age character included in this story is Corypheus. All other characters are reinterpretations of figures from the Avatar universe or original creations.

Summary
Sten paused in the polishing of his sword. “I did not think to ask before. Why did you decide to join me?”
Yara smiled. Everyone had asked her why she was following Sten back to Par Vollen, but her answer always remained the same.
“I don’t know,” she said.
He studied her intently for a moment, then went back to polishing his blade. “This is unheard of, kadan. Qunari always know their purpose.”
“I know,” she said. “But I’m not qunari.”
*******************
Also known as: a quiet, contemplative slow burn during the ship ride from Denerim to Par Vollen, with eventual smut between Warden Yara Mahariel and Sten. Because I’m incapable of writing smut sans feelings, apparently.Bookmarked by juniper823

Amatus. Ma Vhenan. Forgotten words from dead languages. Words they never thought to speak or have spoken to them. There was no place for them. They were pariahs - martyrs who picked the wrong causes, for the wrong reasons, for the wrong people.
But they spoke them, all the same.
