    Summary

    Cullen struggles with memories and trauma from Kinloch and Kirkwall and battles his lyrium withdrawals. Rejected by Evelyn Trevelyan, he stumbles into the Skyhold kitchen at night and meets a kitchenmaid, Orla.

    Their nighttime discussions become his pastime.

    What could the Commander of the Inquisition and an illiterate maid talk about?

    As it turns out, everything.

    Why wouldn't a maid have a voice in the story?

    Summary

    rara avis
    [rahr-uh ah-vis]
    origin. latin (tevene)
    noun, plural rarae aves
    1. a rare person or thing; rarity.
    2. literal, a rare bird

    When Dr. Alberta Marieve Shaw left work on Christmas Eve, she was planning on a quiet evening at home before heading off to sit on a beach in the Caribbean for a week, but things do not go according to plan. She finds herself in a completely foreign world, unlike anything she has ever experienced. She must navigate a war between mages and Templars, the brutality of Thedas itself, and the whims of a powerful Inquisitor to survive and find her way home.

    Note: This is NOT a self-insert nor a novelization of the main game story we all know and love. There will be canon deviations (some significant) and places dark and disturbing. Caveat lector.

    Summary

    They fall in love slowly during the war at the height of the Inquisition. During their romance, the former Circle mage and former templar discover they love one another as more than the Commander and Inquisitor, more than the rose that survived and endured the winter, and more than a forgotten goddess of old. Then war, like everything, ends. They dream of dawn after stars.
    ***
    The love story between Inquisitor Lydia Trevelyan and her Commander. As the Inquisition begins and unravels, so do their own personal struggles, issues, torrid pasts, and feelings for one another. Sprinklings of other characters here and there. Slightly diverges from canon. Rated E for later chapters.

    Summary

    When a catastrophe throws 14 year old Diana from her world into the world of Thedas, she finds herself more lost than she could have imagined. Stripped of her family and everything familiar, she clings to the kindness of strangers in the Chantry of South Reach. With only her voice and spirit to guide her, she must navigate a foreign land, a new language, and the lingering grief of a family torn apart.

    *This can be treated as a prequel to an Inquisition story written later.
