Summary
“You’re in demand.” Ameridan seemed to be watching him closely, with great interest. “A young gothi from the north. Why is that?”
“Perhaps you might know. I have caught your interest, also.”
Ameridan waved a hand. “I am interested in everyone. An observer of the human condition.”
“Enough to wait outside for them and ply them with wine?”
His smile widened. “That’s only in special cases."
---
The story of how Ameridan met Kordillius Drakon. How an elven mage from the Dales became the lover of the first Emperor of Orlais, and how it all fell apart. A story that spans the foundation of the Chantry, the start of the Second Blight, the Inquisition, the Nevarran Accord, and beyond.
Or: Come for the gay romance! Stay for the deep dive into obscure Thedas history!

Summary
Lucanis set his jaw. An expression the spirit recognised from many memories. When Caterina asked where he and Illario had snuck out to instead of lessons. When a target flaunted their cruelty in front of his face. Stubbornness. Defiance. His entire being hummed with it, and it was beautiful. “I must choose to hope.”
The spirit did not yet know what form it was taking, but it was not Hope. “I will be here,” they said, “when you must choose something else.”
-
The story of how Spite found Lucanis in the Ossuary, and what led up to their joining. Written for the Dragon Age Reverse Bang 2025.

Summary
“You want ugly honesty, then?” When Kieran did not protest, Davrin went on. “Cut your dad a break. He’s doing his best.”
Kieran wanted to still be angry, but it was getting harder to hold onto it. It was fading just into weariness. “He left us,” he said. “My Mamae and me. Without a word.”
“You don’t have to think he’s a saint,” pointed out Davrin gently. “Just hear him out. As a man.”
Kieran thought about those words and turned them over in his head as they all settled in their cots. As Bellara started her gentle snores, as Davrin slept as silent and unmoving as if he was one of his own wooden carvings.
He had his memories of his father. And he knew the stories of the Hero of Ferelden. But did he know anything about the man behind both?

Summary
“What’s new is you being alone!” He looked so damn furious at her - like this was her own fault - that she rose in fury to match him, and snapped back without thinking,
“Well if everyone fucks off and leaves me, what do you expect!”
Fenris didn’t recoil. He grabbed her shoulders, pulled her face close to his, and hissed, “I never left you.”
-
Pre-Act 3, Hawke and Fenris are definitely broken up, and Hawke is on the verge of getting engaged to Sebastian. But when Hawke gets injured in Darktown, Sebastian isn't the one Anders chooses to fetch.

Summary
“You're sure you’re ready for the role?” Nyssa teases. “Studied up? I can’t imagine there are too many books about infiltrating drow temples.”
Gale fiddles with his collar and leash, pinching it between his forefingers in a way that shouldn’t be distracting but is.
“Perhaps not specifically. You see, the problem about writing on drow society is one often does not make it up from the Underdark to hand pages to publisher. Of course there are many…less researched volumes. Of hapless men and leather-clad matrons. But I told Shadowheart I would be a gentleman, so that is all I will say on the more sordid parts of my education. You’ve nothing to fear.”

Ambrosia (or: How Gale Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) by mercurial_cool

Summary
“Why does your blood smell so strange?”
The question startled Gale, who looked up from where he sat cross-legged in front of his tent, organizing his scrolls in preparation for their upcoming “visit” to the goblin camp. He’d given Astarion a wide berth since the revelation of his vampiric condition a few days earlier, so he was surprised to see the pale elf looming over him now, a peculiar expression on his face.
“You know,” Gale offered with a smile, “in my extensive journeys across manifold realms, I do believe that is not a question that I’ve ever been asked before. I honestly can’t decide whether or not I should be offended.”
-
Of the many side effects Gale has faced as a result of his whole “being physical host to an imminently destructive magical orb” problem, he somehow never anticipated his blood now apparently smelling irresistible to vampires (or at least, one particular vampire) to be one of them.

The Canticle of Shianni by indigomuffins

Summary
It's been over a decade since the Blight. Shianni has been leading Denerim's alienage as their Bann and hahren, but she has never forgotten those who Tevinter took all those years ago. She is going to bring her lost people back or bring back the heads of those who took them.
Fenris has been away from the company of his friends for years, instead working as the Blue Wraith to give the slavers of Thedas exactly what they deserve. Only now he is being tasked by the same friends with bringing a Bann with a death wish back to Denerim.
Both are clearly very emotionally stable. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Hawke could only gape as the unarmed Starkhaven prince stared down the Templars. It was like a scene from one of Varric’s blasted romances—only he was no virile knight and she no swooning maiden.
Well. Not usually.
Or: Hawke is granted a limited period of legal asylum in the Kirkwall chantry. There, she falls in love with Sebastian.
