Summary
This is a non-canon retelling of DA:I from beginning to end with far more emphasis on the relationships between the principal characters than on the specific quests from the game. The main plot points are the same, but who is involved, how things are resolved, and the resulting implications may be different.
Part 1 covered the part of the story that occurs in Haven and ends at the revelation of the existence of Skyhold.
Part 2 is unlikely to make much sense if you have not read Part 1 (there is a brief summary of Part 1 in the starting notes).

Summary
When the Conclave is destroyed, two Dalish elves fall out of the Breach, and each of them has identically marked green glowing hands. One of the elves is everything you would expect; the other, with her short, well-muscled build, her dwarf-like features, and her unusual magical abilities, promises to lead to far more questions than answers.

Meta question: How much can I change things about the story and still use the big cutscenes as consistent checkpoints?
Answer: Quite a lot.Part 1 covers the part of the story that occurs in Haven.

Summary
What is it like to breathe for the first time? Or to fear? Or to fail?
Waking up surrounded by monsters is not a good way to find out.
What is it like to speak for the first time? Or to laugh? Or to remember?
That's what she will soon discover surrounded by friends.

Summary
[ON HIATUS]
Waking up in Thedas with her bike, a pile of cigarettes and a bag of cocaine Alek eventually finds herself in the service of the Inquisition. But she's a girl from the 21st century and after years of covering under the hands of a man she's sick and tired of keeping her mouth shut and head bowed.
She just hopes no one ever get a glimpse of her leg. She's not sure she'd be able to explain how all the main-characters from Origins to the Inquisition came to decorate her skin.
