"I can take care of myself. "
"Alright." Steve shrugged, giving up the fight far earlier than you expected him to. " Well, you don’t need to anymore."
You blinked, confused. " What? "
"You asked me why I was here…I dunno, thought I’d check your locks or whatever."
Oh.

Summary
"You felt like you had just slotted yourself into a you-shaped hole in the world, this being the place you were meant to be, at this very moment in this very elevator and it was so alarming, so natural in the most unnatural way that you felt sick.
Your eyes flickered back up to Loki in confusion and your forehead nearly collided with his chin. He was bent over you, now, eyes glued to the mark. There was something like wonder in his gaze. You blinked and remembered who he was. You should be scared, you thought. You were more frightened that you weren’t."
When a chance encounter with Loki on the helicarrier following his capture by SHIELD results in a mark on your wrist that reveals your souls are tethered together, the trajectory of your life shifts in ways you never could have imagined. Years pass. As the world contends with gods and monsters and magic, and you grapple with your identity as a Stark, you must also learn what it means to be Fated--and decide whether being Loki's soulmate is something you are willing to give up everything for.

Summary
A week into your time with the Dateviators you developed rules of the game:
1. Do your best.
2. Fuck Valdivian.
3. Don't fall for Dorian.You weren't sure how well these rules would serve you, but they definitely test you when your interactions with some of the others begin to go downhill, a break in leaves the entire house on edge, and Dorian finds the feelings you might be developing for each other to blame. You both have to decide what your relationship means to each other, and whether anything other than friendship is worth pursuing in a home with too many personalities to make life safely predictable.

Summary
She was to meet the King in a few days' time. She would have to stand tall and represent the Cousland name with all the courage her father and mother had in her last moments with them. She could not meet the King with a rainbow stitched onto her knife sheath or a flower at her breast. How silly would he think her? How childish? And so the color fell away with a sharp swipe of her dagger, leaving brown behind. Though to Grace, it may as well have been gray.
Everything was gray, now. -

Summary
Emily exhaled and saw her breath puff in front of her face. Real. She pressed her nails to her palm to feel the brief pinch. Real. She heard familiar voices around her, hushed, but bright and kind. Real.
She was frightened by how much she cared about all of them.
That was real too. Maybe the most real thing.
There was a reason Emily had played Inquisition so many times, and it was these characters, these people. These people she was tucked up tight with, these people that shared their cup and their warmth and their gentle hands. That was something you couldn’t get from a game. And it wasn’t a game. They were here and she was here.

Summary
At the end of everything, Mira had been alone. The man she'd given her heart to wasn't who he'd pretended to be: she'd left him to rot in Val Royeaux's dungeons, too ashamed of her naivety to face him, and too in love with him to allow him the death he felt he deserved. The man she'd respected most—her mentor, her confidant, her friend—had worn a false name, too, and left her to climb, body and heart broken, through the Eluvian and into her suddenly empty future.
At the beginning of everything—again—Mira finds herself kneeling on a cold stone floor in the dark, one hand glowing with sickening green light and wrists shackled. With every choice still ahead of her to make, and certain in the knowledge of where it had all gone wrong before, this time, she knows exactly what to do to hold on to what really matters in the end—at least for as long as she can hold onto her memories.
Honesty is as important as second chances—for her, for the false warden, and even for the Dread Wolf. What could be changed if no one's secrets were truly their own?
Chapters with explicit smut are marked with an asterisk.

Summary
Elspeth Cousland survived the horrors of her family's purge and the Blight with barely a shred of her sanity intact, and is working to put herself back together again. She's determined to be useful and not get shoved to the sidelines. But when her old friend Nathaniel Howe returns to Ferelden, he's less than thrilled by his family's fate, and their friendship shatters under the weight of such trauma.
But from the ashes of the old friendship, they slowly find they can forge something new, and make a better world in the process.
Slightly altered DA universe. Hero of Ferelden is Kallian Tabris, mistress to king Alistair, and good friend of Elspeth (origins for this found in prologue). First person for Elspeth section, third person for Nathaniel. This fic will intersect with many of the events of DAA, but will not strictly repeat them - minor consequence of there being a surviving, non-Warden Cousland has some major impacts on the world. It will go into extra-game territory and original plot, particularly in tying some DAA and DA2 threads together in a largely canon compliant way.
