    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

    While exploring a ruin, a strange ancient artifact explodes, and Dorian and the Iron Bull wake up to find themselves in each other's bodies. They'll have to navigate a very literal walk in someone else's shoes, as they discover new things and recontextualise their understanding of each other along the way. Also, naturally, they make it a sex thing.

    Summary

    Fresh off destroying the Reapers, Commander Shepard falls into a strange, medieval world where people mistake her biotics for magic. No-one knows who she is anymore; beyond her title, neither does she.

    Knight-Captain Cullen has been a good templar for too long; being a good man feels far beyond reach. But his latest charge won’t stop talking at him, and some of it is starting to take root.

    A slow burn of friendship, redemption, and eventually love, spanning from Kirkwall to Skyhold.

    (A rewrite of The Two Commanders with further exploration of characters and themes. Fully pre-written and updating twice a week.)

    Summary

    Samarra Bayart is a researcher, albeit one with a small Dragon Age obsession. So when she finds herself in Thedas, she's convinced she's in a dream... till she realizes she's not.

    Given the title of Oracle, she must carefully walk the line between using her knowledge of the game to guide the Inquisition, while protecting herself and her secrets.

    Can she put what she knows to get the best ending for the ones she cares for? Or will she crash and burn in the wolf's jaws?

    Summary

    What if Cullen and Trevelyan hadn't gotten along at first? He thinks she's spoiled, and she thinks he's a prat.

    Follows the the canon of DAI, except for the romantic stuff. This is a friendmance version of their story, and is kinda the slowest of all slow burns.

    Summary

    Inquisitor Lavellan is overwhelmed with the role, Bull offers some reprieve.

    ...

    "Bull’s seen war before. He’s seen violence and pain; death and desperation. Hell, he’s dealt out each one in turn as it was ordered of him, over and over again. Still, there’s something inherently wrong with seeing Lavellan’s pain, Lavellan’s desperation.

    A dirty, possessive part of Bull’s mind says that Lavellan’s pain is his. If Lavellan suffers it should be correctly, and at Bull’s hand. If he’s desperate, it should be for Bull’s mercy. No nameless templar with passable aim should be able to mark Lavellan’s body or cloud his mind with hurt."

    Summary

    It has been three months since the Veilguard fell. Three months since the rest of the Evanuris — long supposed to be dead — emerged from the Veil. Three months since Solas abandoned her.

    Three months that Rook has been at the mercy of vengeful, insane gods.

    The plan to save her, like many of the plans Solas has, is decidedly terrible.

    But she is at the mercy of that, too.

    Summary

    Desmond fulfilled his destiny, as was foretold. He lived four different lifetimes, give or take a few, and just wanted some damned rest, away from responsibility and the weight of the world on his shoulders. What does he get instead? A new world to save and a fantastical evil he was in no way prepared for. An Assassin works in the shadows, but Desmond is raised up as the figurehead of a religion he doesn't believe in, to save a world not his own, and be the leader of an army. The question isn't can he do it, the question is how.

    Summary

    Each day, the Magister comes to the courtyard and finds some new way to attempt to break him, as if there’s some purpose to testing his endurance. This, too, Bull can endure. It would be a bit easier, of course, if the man didn’t insist on monologuing the entire way through.

    Every night, his friend comes to him and tips the saucer against his lips. As time passes, more words pass between them, slow at first, but steady and precious.

    Fragile.

    Summary

    She was supposed to be living an ordinary life. Instead, a mysterious event tears her from modern earth and drops her into Thedas, a world of magic, demons, political intrigue, and ancient gods she has never even heard of. With no knowledge of its history, factions, or the dangers lurking beyond every village, she is forced to survive by trusting strangers, learning unfamiliar customs and adapting to a land where every decision can change lives.

    As she journeys across Thedas, she becomes entangled in conflict between mages and templars and uncovers secrets that threaten the fate of the world. While everyone around her believes the Maker brought her to them in their hour of need, she struggles to understand why she was chosen at all. Caught between finding a way home and embracing the life she has built, she discovers that sometimes the greatest heroes are not the ones born into legend, but the ones brave enough to face the unknown.

    Summary

    That was his lot in life as a fire drake, though, he supposed. To be filled with fire and still freezing. The irony was not lost on him.

     

    (Very much a nonsensical fairy tale that is vaguely rooted in canon. When in beta I was told this fic was " sort of like The Little Mermaid but with more dragons and less singing." Well. Marginally less singing.)
