    Summary

    Her name is Atisha Lavellan.

    She is the First, she has a duty to the People.

    Therefore she will not bend, nor will she bow. And she will definitely not break.

    Not for a mark on her hand heralding her as a prophet of a shem god. Not for a blighted ancient magister. Not for the Chantry, or the Empress of Orlais. And certainly not for the damned Dread Wolf himself.

    Summary

    (n.) a nostalgic longing for something or someone that was loved and then lost,
    with the knowledge that it or they might never return; "the love that remains".

    She's singing quite happily as she bathes, melody and words that'd been long forgotten by the People dancing easily on her lips as if she’s sung that many, many times before. It's a song he hasn't heard since his fall from grace, since he condemned the elvhen to disgrace and war and a never-ending life in a world made Tranquil.

    Summary

    “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” ― Edgar Allan Poe

    Emma Carpenter was just your average woman. She was married, worked at a bookstore, and was close to graduating as a Lit major. Until she came upon a strange light on her morning jog.

    Now Emma finds herself thrown into Thedas. A world in the midst of chaos, where magic exists and the line between dreaming and reality is blurred.

    Fate has her meeting a woman named Ivy who the people of Thedas call the Herald. Through Ivy, she is pulled into a group called The Inquisition. Despite herself, she starts to become attached to the people there, most strongly to an elf mage with secrets of his own.

    Summary

    Written for the autumnal prompt "Full Moon", just a musing on how my Dalish inquisitor celebrates Satinalia from Solas' perspective. Inspired by the idea someone posted somewhere that both of Thedas' moons could be full on Satinalia night.
    --
    The Inquisitor shrugged. “Fen'Harel ma ghilana.” He said, pointing the expression at Solas with a touch of sadness, and Solas chuckled despite himself. 

    “The Dread Wolf leads me astray?” 

    “It’s what we say when someone has been misled,” Taren began to explain, and Solas cut him off, still smirking. 

    “I know.” 

    “The story of Fen’Harel, it’s not something to protect people from like a warrior, waiting to be attacked by savage wolves in the night. That’s not what Fen’Harel is.” 

    “Oh, then what is Fen’Harel?” He asked, unable to help himself.

    Summary

    Changing the Narrative:

    Artemis Lowell was a 28 year old Drill Sergeant in the United States Army. She worked harder than most to become one, a man's world and all that Jazz.

    A night of casual gaming turns into opportunity when Artemis is transported by Flemeth (Mythal) to change the Dread Wolf's Heart and Mind. The Veil cannot be torn down, Thedas doesn't need to be thrown into Chaos.

    And it's up to Artemis to show Solas that the Evanuris, Blighted and hidden away in their prison, should never be released.

    Summary

    I have lived a long time. Longer than anyone else should have to live. I have known many wonderful things and just as many wonderful people, and I have mourned them all as they passed and I stayed. Such was the way of my world. But even that was not meant to endure. My world has changed. It first began with the Breach, which led me to the Inquisition, which in turn led me to the elf with the ageless eyes who would change my world forever. Eyes that I had once forgotten. The eyes of the Dread Wolf.

    Summary

    Corypheus is gone, but it has not been without cost. Among the thousands lost was Garrett Hawke, Champion of Kirkwall - left behind in the Fade at Adamant.
    In the midst of a mountain winter, a grieving Fenris collapses half-frozen at the gates of Skyhold; he is saved from death only by chance, when Commander Cullen spots him from the battlements. Fenris' skin is laced with the very substance that has nearly destroyed Cullen, his face belonging to a time best forgotten - his motive unclear. What will his presence mean for the Inquisition, and for its Commander?

     

    (So I started off thinking, hey there's a lot of parallels between Fenris and Cullen. It's kind of a shame they didn't have more interaction in the games. Next thing I know this happened... !)

    Summary

    A modern AU that's literally about elf nerds. Corporate, skinny-jean-wearing code monkey elf nerds.

    Well, it's half an AU. The ancient elves live in a modern AU. The present is canon compliant(ish). How is that possible? Come. Come, join me in this realm of madness.

    Summary

    "Your clan was unique in having enough interest in human affairs to send you to spy upon the Divine's meeting."

    It was not Cecile Lavellan - First to the Keeper - that had been sent to spy, yet she has the mark and the key to the world's salvation. Indeed, her younger brother, Etienne Lavellan, a pragmatic scout and hunter for the clan, was sent to the Conclave. "The decisions made here could affect us all." He didn't know just how true that might be, that through his sister he might have the power to shape the outcome of Thedas. But how far is Etienne willing to go to manipulate his own sister's image for the good of the world?

    On the opposite side, Cecile is Dalish and proud, unwilling to buy into this Herald of Andraste image. But the mark on her hand allows her to help people. It doesn't make her special, she knows that, but she's not so convinced everybody else knows that. The only person that seems to understand is the apostate elf - neither Dalish nor city born - with a fondness for spirits that Cecile thought she would never see anywhere else...

    Summary

    The great civilisation of Elvhenan once spanned the continent, bloated on its own power and built on the broken backs of its people. Its gods warred among themselves, and the people suffered for their hubris. It would be their undoing, with stirrings of rebellion on a thousand hungry lips, and cries for justice on their tongues.
    ---
    Set around 4850FA, a fic following the birth of the elven rebellion and the beginning of the Fall of Arlathan. An examination of how Fen'harel became harellan, the pre-carnation of Ilynwe Lavellan, and the beginnings of history repeating itself.
    ---
    "If the idea giving the spirit form is strong, or if the memory has shaped other spirits, it may someday rise again. Something similar may reform one day, but it might have a different personality. It would likely not remember me. It would not be the friend I knew.”

    “You are a rare and marvelous spirit.”
