    Summary

    "Her lips upon his were scolding, boiling him alive, molten metal poured over the icy abyss of his soul. His hands engulfed her, the abeyant pull roaring to new heights. It took all his control to not crush her to him, to remember her body was no more but a fallen autumn leaf, carefully tucked between the pages of a book to keep from crumbling."

    –––

    Set about a week after the events of ACOTAR, this story follows a finally free Rhysand as he meets a different Feyre, a girl marred by the promise she made to her mother, tortured by her reality, fighting to keep herself and her family alive by any means. A girl that never killed a wolf, never fell for Tamlin, never went Under the Mountain.

    The story examines how Rhysand and Feyre's relationship would have unfolded were they to meet under different circumstances, when the stakes for human Feyre were higher, and when Rhysand no longer believed in hope.

    Oh, and of course right as she robs him.

    Later chapters will be marked as NSFW.

    Summary

    Okay. So she was fighting next to a templar, who would probably only lock her up for the rest of her natural life, and an elf who may or may not get an erection from watching her expire in a pool of her own blood. Hawke had been in worse places.

    Surviving as a mage in Kirkwall is harder than it sounds. A story told in vignettes.

    While some vignettes overlap or replace some scenes, most are meant to be inserted between plot points in the game. I do not bother to explain what exactly is going on in these, so if you have no knowledge of the game, the finer details might escape you, but you shouldn't be entirely lost.

    *Now with art!*

    Summary

    After her discharge from the Alliance, Commander Helen Trevelyan joined the Andromeda Initiative, wanting to leave her personal tragedies and a psycho ex-boyfriend behind her. She expected to sleep for 600 years, and wake up in a med bay. Instead, she crash-landed on a snow-covered mountain, ten-thousand years later. She is alone, confused, and dying from eezo radiation. And the only sign of civilization is an old church in the distance.

    A Post-Modern Girl on Thedas fic.

    Many, many thanks to my betas, Dreadlordcherrycake and Duinemerwen, who have advised me on all matters of lore, plausibility and verb tense. If it wasn't for them, this story would still be in cryo. Any mistakes are mine, not theirs.

    I have a regular work schedule IRL, which means I don't have a regular update schedule on AO3. This story is visually supported.

    Summary

    She wants it on the record that infiltrating Solas’ organization as a nug was never a plan that they had.

    Not any of them.

    Not even Sera.

    Not even jokingly.

    She wants it on the record

    Summary

    Kit is a rebel mage. She hates the Chantry and everything it stands for. So, no. She's not joining the Inquisition.

    Why would she? To "restore order"? What does that mean, except "get all you mages back in a Circle"? She'll pass. Besides, Kit already has a mission and she's not letting go of it: free the mages, for good.

    If only the Inquisition's ex-Templar Commander weren't keeping such a close eye on her...
