    Summary

    This never should’ve happened.
    We never should’ve met.
    Love shouldn't bloom from such tragedy, and yet here I stand falling for a woman many consider the messenger of Andraste.
    It's blasphemous.

     

    There's something more to the Commander.
    I could feel it.
    Something beneath the ex- Chantry boy's diffidence, something primal.
    But I'm now considered a key figure in the religion he follows.
    And even though I know I'm still just a woman, he sees someone closer to his god than he's ever known.
    Still, I won't stop trying to bring out the Lion I know lurks beneath all that armor.

    Summary

    Haunted by the mistakes of her past, Evana Lavellan feels (reluctantly) compelled to stay and help the newly dubbed "Inquisition" close the Breach. But no longer than that. After all, they only care for her welfare because of the mark on her hand.

    Unfortunately, every mission seems to take her further away from her goal instead of closer to it. But each refugee saved and disaster averted also brings with it a sliver of tranquility, a fleeting taste of atonement for past wrongs. Surrounded by new people - new friends - she discovers a wider world than she'd ever imagined with her clan, a world in which she has the power to improve the lives of both elves AND mages.

    Strangest of all, she finds herself drawn to an unlikely friend and confidant in Inquisition's ex-templar military advisor who, like her, is all too familiar with the bitter taste of regret... and the fragile touch of hope.

    **Game scenes/dialogue included but also tons of original "in-between" moments, dialogue, character development and introspection. Super mild AU for shuffling conversation locations and tweaking the order of events. Quizzy is my own.

    Summary

    A big, sweeping tale of two mature people coming together and trying to make it work, despite their pasts. Told in the Inquisition's own words, through letters, personal journal entries, and reports.

    Humor, sex, friendship, and most of all, romance. My Inquisitor is a capable and slightly odd mage, who finds herself in a strange dance with a good man, who wants only to atone for his past and build a new life for himself. Can people whose lives were forever altered by the Circles truly find a future together?

    Summary

    Their correspondence would often push the boundaries of professionalism and to prying eyes would be outright scandalous. Coy smiles and stolen glances at the war table were only the beginning.

    This is the story of Inquisitor Trevelyan and Commander Cullen — a tale of passion and perseverance, yearning and devotion. A battle between duty and desire, as they navigate the rise of the Inquisition, redefining faith and confronting the horrors of their pasts.

    Summary

    “Read it again,” the Inquisitor said, perplexed, staring at Josephine uncomprehendingly.

    She frowned as she read it a second time, no doubt already planning the necessary damage control in her mind.

    "We must protest the actions of the Bull’s Chargers in South Reach. While the presence of the Demons and Templars corrupted by Red Lyrium is undisputed, the necessity of your Dwarven miner collapsing the better part of a mountain on the enemy forces was hardly necessary.”

    “Right,” Maxwell said. It didn’t make any more sense the second time around. “Does anybody know what happened here? What are they even doing in South Reach?”

    “I believe I know the answer to that,” Cullen sighed. “It started about a month ago.”

     

    OR

    Bull has a crises of faith after becoming Tal-Vashoth and his mind won't let him be.
