   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...
