I've been reading a fanfic where the Herald recruits the mages, and it got me thinking: Why does Alexius win when the Herald and Dorian are sent to the future? He's just one mage against a roomful of Inquisition agents, two of the Herald's companions, Fiona and — probably — Leliana. The following is, I think, a more realistic scenario.

There's more to the Inquisitor then meets the eye and Bull is determined to find out her secrets. Sinfi isn't like anyone he's ever met. She's a spy, he's a spy. But that doesn't mean they can't enjoy the time they have. It wasn't planned to become a herald for a god she didn't believe in, it's her duty and she'll do it because the hole in the sky isn't going to fix it's damn self.

A Modern Girl is transported to Thedas and given the form of a High Dragon.

Having heard the rumors of his noble blood, she challenges him to tell her the truth. What she did not expect was his own demand for truth in return, nor was she expecting his desire for something far more permanent between them. Evarist Fairbanks LeMarque/OC slowburn Within the realm of other writings with Adaar/Cullen pairing.

The Amell Estate at 4am after someone has died is a liminal space. There's nothing for Isabela to do but raid the larder.

This is what my brain thinks Cullen would do if he saw the Inquisitor in that Antaam-sar light armor. Definitely just a fun smut piece, I took liberal use of the elven vocabulary since I'm not sure on the syntax it uses. Pwp/Very M material, 18 , yada yada. F!Lavellen/Cullen.

mahariel is stubborn and zevran loves a damsel. when you overwork yourself, who else would you want to sweep you off your feet? (alistair disapproves 15)

"I want you to be happy." ... "You make me happy!" ... "Not if I'm dead!"

Blood was on her hands. All over her hands. Sudden dread knifed through her gut, but she shoved it down angrily. She'd done what she had to. She'd saved Josephine. But she'd also just beat a man to death with her bare hands right in front of her. Shit.

"We're really not going to talk about this?" ... "What is there to talk about?" ... "How about how Kirkwall was attacked; innocent people killed, because you were too selfish to give up your precious relic in time? Or how I dueled the bloody Arishok—how I got this—for you, and you repaid me by disappearing for three years? Could we talk about that, maybe?"

Hawke was giving her a glimpse into a sort of connection she'd never had before. Isabela was intrigued; just a bit, and for the moment that intrigue outweighed the bone-deep fear that was lurking at the back of her mind, telling her this wasn't something she could—should ever have. … "You're too tender for your own good; do you know that?"

"La historia la escriben los ganadores"… pues que conveniente, todos conocen la gran hazaña del Héroe de Ferelden y como derrotó la Ruina con valentía y justicia. Pero la realidad esta llena de malas decisiones y corrupción. Ellos confiaron en mí, alguien debía mancharse las manos con sangre y pensé "¿Por qué no yo?" después de todo… no soy ninguna heroína…

Gwen Trevelyan, a quirky circle mage, lost everything at the Conclave: her former life, her purpose, her lover. She pressed on with her duty, until an equally quirky Grey Warden came into her life. Can they make something more of this bond they've shared? (Slight AU, slow build story, Work in Progress)

Six weeks ago, Hawke was taken by slavers and driven north to a Tevinter market. Today she is sold, whether she wills it or not. A study on how to live again, afterwards.

Anders flees from Kirkwall as Justice tears away at his mind, eventually finding refuge in the Nest...and with someone he had long thought dead. Anders/Mother oneshot fic, seriously don't get pissed off if you're disgusted by reading this.

In Val Royeaux, a year before the Fifth Blight, a party of unlikely heroes must rise to their circumstances when a mysterious Dalish elf recruits them for a mission on her behalf. Based on a game of the Dragon Age tabletop game with Mythic GME. Rated T for language and (eventually) violence and non-explicit sexual content.

Solas is left with his own thought as he contemplates what to do next. Yet, is it thought of his Love that haunts him most and her constant singing doesn't help.

When Solas interrupts the Inquisitor's nightmare in the fade, she sees more than he intended. Solas/Lavellan oneshot.

Rachel never asked to be dropped from her world and into a world that shouldn't exist. And she most certainly never wanted to be a figurehead to some organization and be called Herald. This is the story of a young woman whose world is turned upside down and her adventures as she tried to find a new home. (I'm horrible at summaries. I promise it's better than my blurb haha)

What if Hawke's Grey Warden ally wasn't Stroud, Alistair nor Loghain, but the Hero of Fereldan? Featuring: Female Amell, Female Warrior Hawke and Male Mage Adaar. Loosely based on one of my playthroughs of all three games and some elements of the novels are included. Warden/Alistair, Hawke/Anders, Adaar/Cassandra

The Inquisition has changed once the only thing to stop Corypheus has now reformed into a peacekeeping organisation, but how much peace can there be with the ever present threat of Fen'harel on the Horizon

After Tresspaser, Inquisitor Trevelyan and the Revered Mother Cassandra went about their lives.

AU. What if Fenris had a twin? A Tevinter slave is given a new purpose in life. They rise and fall like the great tides. The journey is one of hard trials and heartache, but they will change the world with many shoves.

The organization known as the Gray Wardens have been rather inactive for the past 400 years, not counting the 5th Blight of course. While most warden-commanders are content to recruit, train, repeat one commander wants to fight the Horde. One commander has been forced to have their career as a warden been constant action. That's not about to change.

A series of one shots featuring characters and events from my playthrough of the Dragon Age games.
