Summary
Aurora is an ambitious young art historian with a mysterious past she doesn’t fully understand. Her desire to find a place in the world leads her to a group with hidden agendas, gradually revealing a reality she never thought possible. Myths turn into truth, dreams take shape, and a figure once thought to be only a legend from a troubled, fabled past stands before her.
In other words, Solas is once again spinning his schemes and donning masks, much to the misfortune - or perhaps fortune - of an unsuspecting MC.
Aurora belongs to my beloved friend

Summary
In the clash between the Dreadwolf and Lusacan, both were slain. No one was strong enough to keep the Veil from falling apart. No one, except Rook's final nemesis, Elgar'nan. In a last effort to prevent an inevitable catastrophe, the remaining survivors of the Veilguard tie Elgar'nan to the Veil and send him back to Prison. All seems well, and they go on with their lives, mourning and honouring the fallen and rebuilding from the ashes. It is a bittersweet peace, but peace nonetheless.
Rook, though, cannot go on. Rook cannot heal and cannot escape the past. She cannot forgive and cannot have enough vengeance. There is no future for her, and the memory of those who have died because of her is keeping her tethered to the past, regrets, and wrath.
Elgar'nan is there to take advantage of that, while she takes advantage of having him weak and powerless. In a grim twist of irony, they only have each other and neither wants to let go. A snake eating itself, dark twin flames that would rather watch the world burn than let go.Or what grew from a simple prompt by https://archiveofourown.org/users/nananarc/profile

Summary
Rook has failed, and everything is in ruins. Everyone is dead, and she stands amid the destruction, knowing that nothing can be done or undone.
Against all odds, she used to say, no matter what, she used to believe, never look back, she would repeat to herself. None of that mattered or made sense now when the future was crushed.
Just as she accepted her fate and was ready to surrender her life, her path was changed. Mythal intervened, casting her millennia into the past — to the gleaming gates of Ancient Arlathan. Changing the will of gods is a heavy burden to bear, but Rook is haunted by the dying words of those who fell for her, and she knows she must not stop. Cannot stop.
But is duty all that matters? Is duty above love, or desire? Or is duty merely the veil that covers the pursuit of the deepest, darkest of desires? Will her heart stay untouched and hardened, while her duty is to unlock the heart of another?
Rook, whose original name is Idunn, is my original D&D character, and the story will blend Dragon Age and D&D lore. The blend is subtle and well-explained, and you will not need prior D&D knowledge.

Summary
The border between dreams and reality is as thin as the one between life and death. In this liminal space a Half Elf, who is neither-nor, can find a red thread that will lead her to absolution.
Astarion is well accustomed to life between veils, where you can be anything and yet nothing, but meeting a kindred soul is a challenge he didn't expect, nor asked for. -

Summary
«Who understands better than Astarion the reasons one would wake up before dawn just to get ready? Even though they have to camp on the outskirts of the city like a traveling circus, they don’t have to look like vagabonds.
Elves, at the end of the day, have standards.»

Dictionary of El'vhen/Elvish by Kaija Rayne (KaijaRayne)

Summary
I broke down El'vhen into component parts and replaced the elided apostrophes. This is still fan fic, because despite having a linguistics minor, I could be very wrong. But if I'm not too far off, it should give us the tools to make new words.
It's mostly all translated from canon sources (Katiebour's Cypher) and the wiki.
It really shouldn't need to be said.
I am violently against AI. Do NOT put ANY of my work into ANY AI system, including Deep-L. I'm happy to provide phrases and translations if you ask.

kaija.rayneI can't do anything about scrapers. But willfully putting my weeks of work on this project into any variety of AI is absolutely offensive.
I'll take all my fics and the dictionary down if I find out about it.
AI is *awful*. Putting someone else’s work into one is not only copyright violation, it means you should take a good, hard look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what the actual fuck are you doing?

Summary
This is a collection of essays because many of my friends have found elements of this work more useful and complete in its original "special interest infodump" stage than Project Elvhen, so I thought it might be helpful to non-linguist fans who might also be left scratching their heads about some of FenXShiral's work. In the manner of many academics, I have both borrowed from and expanded upon the original. As a note, as I work on this, some of the individual words in the translations may change. That's not because I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm also learning and solidifying more as I write the guide, and I'm going to be tweaking it until I'm satisfied, but I want to share what I do have with you!
I have been fiddling with this labor of love for years. It's my ultimate goal to make this a speakable language, pushed beyond the cipher, with words that are useful to your average speaker trying to learn it. I apply a radically kind perspective on the Dalish throughout the work, not tainted by the Chantry's perspective of this ancient and beautiful culture.
Ready to learn to really speak Elvhen this time? Let's do this.
Update Nov 2, 2025: Now will be a part of a series! Stay tuned...

Summary
Ellana Lavellan is one of two apprentices to her clan’s Keeper, and not the most skillful of the pair. She expects to be sent away after failing to earn a place as First, but when she stumbles upon an ancient shrine to Fen’Harel and inadvertently summons the Dread Wolf himself, she finds in him a wealth of powerful, forgotten magics. He’ll teach her, if she makes a suitable offering: herself.
Ellana returns to the shrine again and again, summoning Fen’Harel to teach her more, but time works differently on the other side of the eluvian; centuries pass for him while only weeks go by for her. As she grows to know him as Solas, she discovers that the Creators are not the benevolent deities she believed them to be, and that the Dread Wolf is a man she can love.
What comfort can a mere Dalish mage offer a rebel god? More than either of them ever expected.
