Summary
Cullen Rutherford is sent on a mission on behalf of the Inquisition to retrieve the disgraced Queen of Ferelden, Elsa Theirin, who fled Denerim after revealing her magic to her court accidentally.
With the Landsmeet only two months away, Elsa is willing to take drastic measures - even finally marry - to keep her crown. Only… Elsa has never been impressed with the eligible noble Ferelden bachelors. Without forewarning, Leliana offers up the hand of Cullen Rutherford, who, despite his lack of noble heritage, is a former Templar who can appease the nobility's concerns about Elsa's magic.
Cullen, his life ever in service to causes greater than himself, accepts.

Summary
Being a Warden is easy...All one has to do is survive a super secret ritual. Then fight a horde of darkspawn (and possibly an Archdemon) to destroy the Blight. See, easy.
Now, throw in a touch of romance and what do have?
Well, to be frank, Alistair has no idea. He's just trying to get from one day to the next without completely blowing his chances with the new Warden he's supposed to be looking after. Luckily, he's a smooth guy...right?

Summary
"I’ve never told anyone what truly happened to me at Ferelden’s Circle. I was… not myself after that. I was angry. For years, that anger blinded me. I’m not proud of the man that made me."
"The way I saw mages… I’m not sure I would have cared about you, and the thought of that sickens me.
Lyrium withdrawal and the realization that he's desperately in love with the Inquisitor has left Cullen raw. Vulnerable. The horror of his past keeps intruding into his present, and he can't help but wonder whether he's been carrying it with him in more ways than one- whether his desires are his own, or something darker that controls and compels him from deep within his subconsciousness.
He needs to address it— he needs to come clean in order to move on— but will he lose the woman he loves in the process? Will he lose her to something (or someone) else before he can gather the courage to act?

Summary
A young Dalish elf, her head bandaged, walks along the road. She's picked up by a kindly family of traveling performers.
I'm not sure how well I have portrayed childhood trauma in this.
I have attempted to note content warnings for each section.
I think the only aspect which isn't strictly canon in this story is that Elvhen isn't a dead language; I will try to indicate when it is being spoken with italics.
Non-canon episode is here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48017557
Latest update: 2025.09.05. New Chapter 27 added. No further updates planned (though I've updated four times since deciding it's "done")

Summary
At long last, the Breach will be closed and the Inquisition will finally turn their attention to the threatening shadow of the Venatori. But of course, that's not how it goes. The Venatori step out of the shadows first. The true nature of the Elder One and his power is revealed with devastating consequences.
Lanil Surana is stuck in the middle of a brand new war, hanging onto the dregs of the previous one by the skin of her teeth. Violence, grief, in-fighting, and rejection hound her every step forward, but amongst the worst months of her life she finds true friendship, meets heroes, and discovers a purpose worth fighting the world for.
Perhaps there might be room for romance, if Lanil ever stopped running from it.
Updates on random Wednesdays. Only beta'd by me myself and I now.

Summary
Merrill and Carver have been on the run for over a year now, and have settled in near the "Elven Quarter" - really, the alienage - of Rialto in Antiva.
Having tried their best to gain the trust of the locals and having long exhausted the resources they'd left Kirkwall with, the pair decide to sell a staff that had been in Anders' possession when he died. Wanting to authenticate it and potentially find a buyer, they reach out to a pair of interested parties - Zevran Arainai, head of the reformed Antivan Crows, and Merrill's dearest friend Isabela and her new "Lords of Fortune", hoping that one might be interested. But will the staff wind up in the hands of yet another party hiding in plain sight?
