The World Was Wide Enough by buttsonthebeach
Fandoms: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Video Game)
08 Mar 2025

Summary
Ellana woke certain that Solas was in bed beside her.
At first she thought it was a dream within a dream - she had seen him that night, the wolf in the distance, the wolf so real even in dreaming that she knew it was him and not some other spirit of the Fade. She felt his presence behind her, warmth and plaster and Fade and elfroot and wool and lips against her neck, not quite a kiss, just an absent-minded sleeping touch. She must have been dreaming.
********
A re-telling of the events of Veilguard from Ellana Lavellan's perspective, and continuing with events that take place after the end of the game.Bookmarked by wardsarefunctioning

Pretending to be Varric's lover for a bunch of suspicious dwarves at his ex's house for a week is getting to be less fun by the minute. But hey, at least there are mushroom canapes and prizefights.

The Gaps Between the Stars by SubparLizard

Summary
“ Solas says, ‘I would not deign to impose upon you if the artifact did not pose a cataclysmic threat to the world. You must give it to me so I may destroy it.’
Lavellan gives a spiteful yawn. ‘That sounds like it might put you out of a job.’ In the sun’s sharp white leer Solas watches Lavellan like a starved animal, his cool impassivity beginning to erode. He is desperate and dangerous and together those things excite her. “
Six years after the Exalted Council, Solas appears unannounced in the Inquisitor’s bedroom seeking a dangerous artifact long lost to time. When the artifact is stolen, the estranged-lovers-turned-nemeses agree to work together to see it recovered and destroyed. With their own misgivings and distrust following closely on their heels, Lavellan and Solas chase a string of clues across Thedas, through distant memories of Elvhenan, and all the way to the brink of the Void.

Summary
Had he really avoided mentioning to Bianca that Hawke was a woman?
She hardly made any attempt to appear womanly, but no one could ever have mistaken her for anything else. She had those bright blue eyes with their lashes like thick lines of expensive ink and he had always enjoyed the way the curves of her mouth and eyebrows worked in tandem to reveal her every emotion. Her legs might be comically long but they did look shapely in the tight breeches she liked to wear. Varric’s eye lingered on a patch of shirt rendered nearly transparent by her wet hair. He could easily see the band that compressed what he was pretty certain were a very fine pair of--
Well, shit.
Hawke is the sort of person who has to learn by screwing up. So is Varric.

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.

Something Like You by Arcanista

Summary
From this Kink Meme prompt: the herald is kind and good to him and he doesn't know why, the years spent begging in the streets taught him that kindness doesn't come for free, she certainly blushes when he get close to her and even if she is not a beauty and he was never sought after for his charms,the least he can do is repay her with whatever she wants.
--
Inquisitor Lavellan is utterly devastated by the way Solas treated her, and with the vallaslin that mark her an adult member of Dalish society stricken from her face, she's spinning off into a spiral of misery and lyrium abuse. Samson is generally considered on about the same level as an object by those who do deal with him. Things just happen around him, and he doesn't have it in him to care. But somehow, they find something in each other, something better than the world ever intended for either of them.
Caveat emptor: this fic does not take a positive lens to either Cullen or Solas' behaviour. One might, however, find some catharsis about the latter.

Summary
"A letter, if one could call it that, in shaky writing, lies folded upon the desk’s surface. It’s half-out of its envelope, easily readable to any who might be looking through the Inquisitor’s affects:
I know you’ve been reading my mail. Stop it."
It is definitely inadvisable that they should correspond, but Lavellan and Solas cannot keep themselves from writing one another. All is fair in love and war, and Lavellan is playing at both.

Summary
Clan Lavellan comes to visit Skyhold.
Well, shit.
(Alternatively titled, "your worst Thanksgiving but in a castle and somehow worse for it," now with more elves.)-
Lavellan looked apologetically to Josephine. “Remember when you asked me if there were any sordid details of my past you should know about, and I lied and said there weren’t?”
Josephine gave a slow, cautious nod.
“Right. Because we should talk about that real quick before you inevitably hear some very shocking news from a person or six.”

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.

Summary
"If Shepard told me to kiss a turian, I'd ask which cheek."
"What?"
"Kissing. You know, mouth to mouth action that often leads to sex?"
One night of drunken cultural exchange left unresolved quickly spirals into something more than a team building exercise.
