Summary
A midnight swim has unexpected consequences for Hawke -- a curious, devilishly handsome consequence who just so happens to be sporting a tail. And she knows the stories, every legend and cautionary tale spawned from the depths of the Waking Sea to push against the shore and the city's walls; stories to make a wise heart take heed, when the dark waters reach out tempting fingers to pluck at battered strings.
Of course, she's never been wise or cautionary, least of all in matters of the heart. But the sea hides secrets in its treacherous depths, and Hawke has only skimmed the surface of the water.

Summary
“You didn’t have the best soil,” Cole says. “But you grew anyway. I can feel you, growing. Your thoughts, too bright for words. Colours and sounds, it’s all a little too bright for you, but you will get there.”
A pause, then – “Sprouting, smiling, stubborn, but you’re not a weed,” he adds, not an observation, but a statement that falls with quiet determination, though there is no one around to hear.
“Weeds are unwelcome, unwanted. You never were.”

Summary
The Breach is closed; the world is saved, but the Hero of Ferelden's quest continues. The taint is killing her, there's no way around it - you're a Warden to your grave, every Warden knows that. But that doesn't mean she'll go to her grave willingly. Alone, perhaps, but no, never willingly.

Summary
The world shapes her. The loss of her family hardens her heart, the Blight her resolve, and on them she whets her blade as thoughts of vengeance sit in her mind, festering, a taint of their own for which the only cure is revenge. But the Maker has set her down a different path, and it’s not vengeance she finds at its end, but something else entirely.
Elissa Cousland didn't plan for this.

Summary
It's time for the annual Spring Ball in the Fields, and of course he's expected to attend, nevermind the fact that he's got about as much patience for fairy celebrations as he has for watching the slow descent of sap down the trunk of a tree. And at the heels of the broken royal engagement that's been the talk of the realm, it's bound to become a painful affair.
What Bog doesn't count on, however, is the jilted Princess herself, and that there's more to the Fairy King's court than song and dance.
A 'what if' fic about what could have happened if the two kingdoms weren't so at odds with one another, and where Bog happened to be present to witness the events of "C'mon, Marianne!"
