    Summary

    An utterly unrepentant self-insert main character gets isekai'd into Dragon Age: Inquisition, and eventually falls for Cullen Rutherford.

    Beth Chisholm had what she considered an unremarkable life, until something pulled her into the Fade and she found herself in Haven directly after the explosion of the Conclave. Now she's surrounded by strangers in a land torn apart by a religious and magical war, and she's started receiving visions that tell her more about the future and the past. Scooped up by the Inquisition, she's given a chance to put her new powers - and some of her old talents - to use.

    Cullen Rutherford joined the Inquisition to atone for his past and leave it behind, and certainly not to find a relationship. But he cannot get the Inquisition's new Seer out of his head - at first because he's unsettled by her strange power, but eventually, because of something else entirely...

    Summary

    Lyra is an elf from a different world entirely, where magic is an accepted part of the world and spirits co-exist peacefully (for the most part). So when a rift appears one day and pulls her through - landing her in Thedas, Lyra has no choice but to roll with the punches and make the most out of a confusing situation. Armed with the knowledge of both the past and coming future, Lyra must try her best to help the Inquisition and her new friends while also closely guarding her own secrets.

    Which is easier said then done when a certain elven apostate catches her eye.

    Will Lyra be the hunter or the hunted?

    Summary

    Skyhold is full of spies, and as an agent of the Inquisition it's her job to outwit them. She just wasn't expecting her commander to be so serious? Thick-skulled? ...Attractive? It was all fun and games teasing the poor man, but somewhere along the line she started to actually give a damn, that's when the problems really started... throw in a fiery mage from her past and an unreadable flirt of an Inquisitor, and suddenly war seems like the easy part.

    Summary

    Cyrodiil is saved; Mehrunes Dagon sealed in Oblivion forever. The dragon fires no longer need to stay lit and the last Septim is dead. Diana is praised as a hero, bards singing songs regaling her tale, but victory tastes bitter and Diana runs from it all. They say she’d be seen on occasion, pacing by the ocean and staring out at the midnight sea.

    Then all too sudden, Diana vanishes; the Champion of Cyrodiil lost, but what is a loss for Nirn is a gain for Thedas.

    Thrown to chaos, Diana steps into the Age of Dragons with reckless abandon.

    Summary

    All Aila has ever done is protect her little sister Merri. Now Merri is gone, and the Conclave is Aila’s last best chance at seeking vengeance.

    Then the Temple of Sacred Ashes explodes. Maxwell Trevelyan emerges with a green mark on his hand and the title Herald of Andraste, and Aila is found under the rubble, unmarked and unharmed, herald of nothing. No one can seem to decide if Aila is destined to be Maxwell's protector or destroyer . . . and meanwhile a mysterious enemy beckons Aila to her inevitable death.

    But the story doesn’t start there. It started in Kirkwall, where two desperate sisters hid after the ultimate betrayal. Or, it started during the Blight, when Aila had a different name and fell in love with a handsome Grey Warden.

    Beginnings. Middles. Endings. All have consequences.

    Summary

    When was the last time someone took him into their arms and cherished his company? Was it before Andruil went mad from the Void she returned from when their time together was young and full of a fire that burned his bones deliciously? Was it after when he stalked through Arlathan’s courts looking for lovers that threw themselves at him, hoping that he could fill the emptiness in them while he craved the same of them? In the arms of this dalish, this elf so disconnected from the People the blood was nearly unrecognizable, he felt as though he was a blessing to be cherished, a miracle to be treasured. How was it that Evun’an dipped into his core and filled the hollow bones inside with warmth with just a single heated glance? A whisper of what was to come in the twilight hours resulted in the steady heat that crept through his body throughout the day.

    Summary

    I always loved stories. They were my means of escape from my boring, dull life. So, when I landed on Thedas with shiny new magical powers, it was a dream come true.

    LITERALY. The fade is weird.

    The only problem is, now that the story and the real world switched places, it’s not a freaking escape anymore! Now it’s up to me to use my foreknowledge, magic, and high school education to craft an even better ending than the one in the game, because for once in my life, I don’t really want to play the sequel.
    If I succeed, I could get everything I ever wanted. Fortune, Power, and if I’m lucky, maybe even love.
    If I fail..... well I don't really need to spell it out for you.
    My name is James Aaron Black. And this is my story.

    Summary

    **CODEX UNLOCKED: MARIA YABLONSKY**

    Inquisitor,

    In this memo I have all the information I was able to gather about the mystery girl. It is not much, since her name doesn't appear in any kind of record and my agents can't find anything...it's almost as if she never really existed.

    She says her name is Maria Yablonsky and she doesn't speak the Common Tongue.

    She was found wandering the upper gardens, visibly confused (witnesses say she was screaming 'MIERDA' to the top of her lungs) and was wounded by broken glass. She was dressed in a fancy purple dress and carried a mask around. Her only possessions include the previously mentioned items of clothing, a strange magical (?) pocket device and a golden ring.

    Maria is a mage, lacks any Circle training and can hardly control herself. We know inexperienced mages are a threat to everyone, especially to themselves.

    Although I don't think she means any harm, you should be careful now that you've recruited her as your apprentice.

    Leliana

    There's another note in the bottom of the memo, presumably added by Cole:

    She doesn't want to forget.
    Thank you for letting her stay.

    Summary

    She had a contract to fulfill. And she failed. She played her game perfectly. Flawless even. And yet they found her. Weeded her out. Chased her down. Her life is now forfeit. She is at the mercy of the Inquisition; The order that she was supposed to destroy. And yet... they showed her mercy where she deserved none. She expected a swift death, and instead, she was given a new life. If she dared to hope a better life. But... Rose never got her hopes up and she certainly never trusted anyone else but herself. After all, they do say 'History repeats itself' for a reason. Maybe she could still fulfill her duty to the Crows? Maybe they will take her back? Or could she find a home here? Create a life of her own choosing for once.

    What is a Phoenix without ashes to do?
