Summary
Gwenaëlle, the Dragonborn, has completed her final challenge and defeated Alduin, the World Eater, but on her way home from Sovngarde she seems to have taken a wrong turn and ended up in Thedas where a fledgling group, led by a man with a glowing hand, struggle to save their own world. Does the prophesy of the Last Dragonborn still have more to play out? Will the Inquisition accept her or destroy her? A tale of action, adventure, dragons, and love.
Important notes: the Dragonborn is not the Herald / Inquisitor in this story. While the story follows the plot of DA:I, this isn't a rewrite of the quest lines. :)

Summary
Elizabeth Shepard, the Earthborn, mostly-Paragon, biotic, misfit heroine of The Null Room and The Passage finally returns to Headquarters (from her gangland tour of the North American continent) just in time to say hello to the Reaper Invasion.
Disclaimer #1: Shepard's and Vega's 'ship will make more sense if you've read the previous stories.
Disclaimer #2: this story is LONG, in part, because it contains a great deal of dialogue pulled directly from the video game, with minuscule tweaks and mental commentary. i've tried to keep it as (modded - EGM & MEHEM) canon as possible.
Disclaimer #3: edited play-through footage is available on Youtube. it runs in tandem with the story (including edited scenes that don't exist in the game - but, i'd argue, could - and added banter). because i'm evidently insane. links in every chapter.
Disclaimer #4: Contains adult language. Void where prohibited. Please avoid operating heavy machinery while reading this fic.

Summary
Spanning from the day Alexandra de Sardet first learns she's going to be leaving for Teer Fradee until the final confrontation at Anemhaid, tracing the development of her relationship with a certain captain of the Coin Guard. A prequel to After the End and Return to Serene, it originated as a "flesh out the cutscenes" project and became a full novelization of the game, expanding on all the characters' arcs, friendships, and character development.
In terms of content warnings, it contains everything the game does, notably: violence, mentions of rape, mentions of past sexual abuse (including childhood sexual abuse), and that major character death at the end. Chapters with such content are labeled in that chapter's notes, as are the NSFW Kurt/de Sardet chapters, which are explicit but not graphic.
Fic is complete and has been revised to be fully canon-compliant, albeit with Greedfall taking precedence when/where The Dying World contradicts it. If you find any typos, editing mistakes, etc., please let me know so I can fix!
3.9.24: Added a new chapter 48. See notes on that chapter for details.
5.17.24: Split chapter 60 into two chapters due to length.Series

Summary
My Captain finds herself thrust into the Settled Systems in the year 2330 from a most unlikely homeworld: Earth of 2025. A bizarre electrical storm sends a chopper that departed a Washington naval base through a traversable wormhole to crash into a swamp on Jemison in the Alpha Centauri system more than 300 years later. Lilu finds herself beginning a new life as a miner with Argos Extractors, under United Colonies supervision, when she's suddenly plunged into a hunt for Artifacts with Constellation. She meets the man, quite literally, of her dreams in Sam Coe, a former Freestar Ranger turned explorer. But a fairy tale ending is nowhere close, because Lilu is no princess. She's a hardened soldier from a different life. Constellation and the Settled Systems won't know what to make of her. Neither will Sam. Lilu has a lot of painful trauma to overcome and Sam isn't lacking in baggage himself. Our time traveler might just find healing in this new frontier. If everyone will just give her a fighting chance, she could tip the balance towards Constellation's success. And maybe find lasting love with Sam. If they get in her way, they risk their own peril.
