Kylara's Origins (A Dragon Age Origins retelling... with my own little twists!) by JCHB322
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age - All Media Types
20 May 2024

Summary
Welcome! This is my first FanFic. Based on one of my Dragon Age: Origins characters, Kylara, Human Mage, and her adventures as a Grey Warden in the land of Ferelden. It starts off similar to the original game, but past Chapter 3 things start branching off. A few changes I have made: my character already knows Wynne, as she was Kylara’s former teacher in the Circle Tower. Another change is that I moved the Golem Shale from Honnleath to a town of my own creation in the mountains northwest of Rainesfere. Since fast travel is available in the game, but not in the story, I had to make it more plausible to be able to recruit Shale without having to travel days south, away from all other points in the game. I also used horses and carriages where I thought they would fit into the lore. Mage spells, when written out, are in Scottish Gaelic (long spells already translated) Some characters have had some personality tweaks… A lot of things will not be canon, but I hope you will like it all the same. There is Mature Content. FEATURING ART by some amazing creators, and SCREENSHOTS from my special 10th Anniversary YouTube Playthrough. It can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRrhwAvf-ZXjGkciiod5Mmx0u3UDJXuAL

Summary
In the aftermath of the Blight, Elm Surana wants nothing more than to get away from Denerim and the sight of her ex-lover sharing the throne with his new queen. All she needs is to be alone with her nightmares, but there's one man she can't leave behind. When she chose to let Loghain live he became her responsibility, but how tight is the leash she finds herself holding? And how far does duty really go?

Summary
Susanna awakens with no memories, in the middle of nowhere, and has to crawl her way out of the ground. The forest is unrecognisable, there's a stone cottage seemingly abanonded, and a goat named Blaidd that swears he hates all people. Recognising the familiar feel of magic, Susanna decides to settle, explore and learn about this new world and the magic it contains, different from her own.
And then Anders comes.
(Alternative: Anders flees the Circle during the Broken Circle quest and escapes into the woods. He gets lost, Templar hot on his heels, and is saved by a witch. Susanna is influenced/inspired by the DnD Druid class.)
(Follows part of Origins, to Awakening, and then DA2. Eventual Male Hawke/OC, slow burn, canon divergence/fix-it fic)

Summary
Our canon Dragon Age worldstate, which diverges from actual canon... pretty significantly in places. Also featuring: A really big polycule, plot-heavy smut, several kitchen disasters, so much hurt/comfort, and a lot of really elaborate acrobatics to avoid major character death.
Fics are in rough chronological order, but they can all function as stand-alones just fine. You can read them in any order or skip them as needed. We're not writing them in order, so why would we expect you to read them in order?
[Ratings range form G to E depending on the fic.]

Dances In Darkness by HigheverRains
Fandom Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age II, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening
28 Oct 2017
Summary
"When the songs are sung and the histories written of the Dragon Age, who will they exalt?" she said cryptically. "You? Me? I can hardly begin to guess."
It began with a knife in the dark, a pendant and a promise, and an explosion that shook the world. From the ashes of war come the heroes of the Dragon Age. Spanning all three games and some associated DLCs, Dances in Darkness is a chronological telling of the Dragon Age story following the lives of the Hero of Ferelden, the Champion of Kirkwall, and the Inquisitor as they struggle against all odds to save Thedas.
Some Alternate Universe for story, particularly as the tale progresses, because characters will be crossing paths. Warnings posted in the notes of each chapter.

Summary
I am not a big one for self-insert stories. I make an exception for this one, because this one happened to me.
I woke up after the Joining as the Warden at the beginning of the Fifth Blight in Thedas in the body of Duran Aeducan. Thirty minutes later I derailed the course of known history. Per Duncan's assignment I am then to accompany Alistair to gather the Grey Wardens' allied forces, and per my decision I am to keep out of the way of consequences... and not get called out on being the fakest dwarf.

Nathaniel Howe, suddenly with nothing left to lose, returns to his ancestral home to sift through the wreckage of his family's reputation.

Summary
Eighteen months ago, Bryn Cousland crawled out of the burning wreckage of her home and into the Blight, without a Grey Warden there to catch her. Now the Blight is over, the Grey Wardens are rebuilding their order in Ferelden, and Bryn wants to be a hero. What better way than to present herself at Vigil's Keep as a recruit?
And then the Hero of Ferelden conscripts the son of her family's murderer, and Bryn realises that she probably made a mistake.
(Mostly canon-compliant to Awakening, but with a lot of original content.)

In response to the following prompt over at the DAO kink-meme:
PC gathers the army by sleeping her way through Ferelden till she claims all treaty rights. Origin doesn't matter, but PC's got to be a slut who loves it. All diplomatic encounters can be solved if you're a dirty enough whore! It's up to you whether she gets Templars or Mages, or elves or wolves, or whatever. Bonus k!meme points for any gangbangs.
