AnneRenehide bio
 Author has written 1 story for Mass Effect. Is working on a second Mass Effect FanFic, but no current plans for another. I write them as the ideas come. I write normally original work (but I don't post them online, as I plan on becoming published, sorry) but have recently begun writing FanFics because I am in LOVE with the Mass Effect world and characters. My fiance says I'm obsessed, but he says the same thing about Doctor Who, as well. (Alright, I may be a LITTLE obsessed with both, but don't expect any Doctor Who fics from me.) | |||||||

Dawn Will Come by adriannewhitt reviews
Taranari Lavellan had a dark and lonely past, filled with lives half-lived, and those who would take advantage of her. It wasn't until she joined the Inquisition that she finally began to belong. But when Haven is destroyed, everything is thrown out of balance and suddenly her Commander represents something she doesn't want to remember. Lots of off-canon and angst. Hawke subplot.

She's the Herald of Andraste, a Dalish elf, a wild woman that can be tamed by no man. He's the Commander of the Inquisition, an ex-Templar, and struggling between the man he was and the man he wishes to be. A budding romance would likely be squashed under the Inquisition's heel, but somehow it feels worth the risk. (Spoilers All. Rated M for a reason)

The night after the visit to the waterfall with Solas, Varric notices something awry with the Inquisitor and calls in a friend to help. ((It's turning into a romance ... mostly written as a catharsis after the Solas/Lavellan in-game romance. O.o )) Possibly a bit sappy ... .
