Summary
What if Rook were a jaded older Warden with a secret identity? What if she and Varric had known each other for a long time? What if she met Emmrich before? What if...?
"Varric smirks and swaggers over to the drunk's table, drink in hand.
“Well, my friend, if you want the tale of the Hero of Ferelden, then this is your lucky day. I have a firsthand account of the Fifth Blight ...”
Knowing he has their attention, he gets comfortable at the table, props his feet up, and launches into the tale of Warden Amell..."A story starting pre-Veilguard and following the game's plot (more or less) with appearances from characters from all the previous games, I would have loved to see again.

Tea Leaves by keeperofskyhold

Summary
Emily exhaled and saw her breath puff in front of her face. Real. She pressed her nails to her palm to feel the brief pinch. Real. She heard familiar voices around her, hushed, but bright and kind. Real.
She was frightened by how much she cared about all of them.
That was real too. Maybe the most real thing.
There was a reason Emily had played Inquisition so many times, and it was these characters, these people. These people she was tucked up tight with, these people that shared their cup and their warmth and their gentle hands. That was something you couldn’t get from a game. And it wasn’t a game. They were here and she was here.

Summary
Before she was the Veilguard’s infamous ‘Rook’ de Riva, she had just been ‘Rookie’—to Viago at least—the name always huffed in a rather annoyed and exasperated tone. It is in his House de Riva that she finds a family; in the Lighthouse that she finds companionship; and in the darkest corner of the pantry, that Rook finds love.
---
Rookie is on a fast-tracked journey to change the world, but she'll do it her way, one Crow at a time—starting with her surly guildmaster. Through every trial, their inexplicable bonds are tested time and time again, and challenges the heart of what it means to be a Crow.
Canon-divergent. Covers both pre-Veilguard events and in-game storylines. Crow-centric, with (un)healthy helpings of Viago de Riva.

Project Elvhen: Expanding the Elvhen Language by FenxShiral

Summary
This is a project to create a conlang that will expand upon and deepen the Elvhen language that was created for the Bioware game series, Dragon Age. Elvhen, as it is used in the games, is a cipher, not a language. My goal is to create a complete conlang, or at least a simulated conlang, that other fans can use. The goal is to create a constructed language that is to Dragon Age what Sindarin and Quenya are to Lord of the Rings.
I do want to stress that this is a constructed language based upon the limited Elvhen we had encountered within the games. I am not using magical linguistic ninjitsu to "Figure out," the Elvhen language. In terms of the "official," language, consider this linguistic fan-fiction.
This specific work is a collection of my ongoing progress Posts, which you can find on my tumblr (Link below in the notes).
