Summary
Fay Tanner remains burdened with the responsibility of saving a world she hardly knows, sent back to alter the past in the hope of saving the future. The emotional hurts she carried with her to Thedas are replaced by new ones, and the main focus driving Fay on is the knowledge that her daughter awaits her- if she is successful. She will not forget, not this time, but can she reclaim all that she has lost?

Summary
A Modern Girl in Thedas where said modern girl knows nothing of Thedas and isn't the Inquisitor. She just likes to make food and sing too loud.
Apparently that's going to save the world, or at least everyone in it.

Summary
They had won the war. At least Sakura thought they did. The last thing she could remember was sealing away Kaguya with Naruto and Sasuke before she landed in a world and time that wasn't her own. All around her, people she had only read about in the pages of a history text were living, breathing, watching her every move. It was just a dream. Or at least she wished it was.
The only thing Sakura knew for certain was she needed to find her way home. Before the Founders learned of who and when she was.

Summary
She pulls her feelings forward like heartstrings, out of her mouth, trembling and alive. His teeth are stained with blood, her hands drip with it, wonderful and horrible and warm. Happiness should not be theirs, but they reach for it anyway, clasping their fingers around the shape of it. Thousands of lives ended at their hands, thousands more freed, a debt that cannot be balanced; fault and fear bite at their veins, defiance and devotion cauterize the wound.
There is a monster in her skin and another in her bed, but that cannot be all they are. Hunger and misery have dogged their steps, but there is more to life, even for the unliving.
There has to be a place for them, down there in the dark. There must be.
Here, reunited with the freed spawn in the eerie shadow of a subterranean castle, a home might await. But a place is not a home just because it is found; it must be made, and it must be paid for, because nothing in the Underdark comes without a price. What ghosts still linger in its memory, unresting and unforgiving? How do you claim a home when the world has already decided you do not deserve one?
