Kazar Surana had thought he'd escaped Templars, Warden duties, and all the drama that came with being a partial abomination when he'd fled Ferelden. He was even finding something close to peace among the Dalish. Then, Hawke happened. (A sequel to All Roads Lead to Denerim)

"I've got baggage." "We all do." "Not like this. You've got an absent father and a blurred bloodline. I have darkness and secrets. I have the kind of connections no one wants to need. Connections with the kind of people you avert your eyes from on the streets. My baggage isn't like yours." "I'll help you carry it anyway." "I'm not sure if you can." "... try me." AU [NaLu]

Lucy doesn't want to be protected anymore. In her desperation to be seen as capable in her friends' eyes, Lucy sets out on the path to becoming powerful. Only one problem: Natsu just always seems to get in her way. So what happens when the two of them are kidnapped and Natsu is rendered useless? Lucy's greatest chance arises. Soon, everyone will know her strength.

All Origins may be true, but that doesn't mean it'll be easy to take out that pesky archdemon. Between a xenophobic Dalish, a reformed playboy, a mage prodigy with a bad temper, and others, getting through the Blight without strangling one another (or Alistair, for that matter) will be hard enough.
