Summary
"I’ve never told anyone what truly happened to me at Ferelden’s Circle. I was… not myself after that. I was angry. For years, that anger blinded me. I’m not proud of the man that made me."
"The way I saw mages… I’m not sure I would have cared about you, and the thought of that sickens me.
Lyrium withdrawal and the realization that he's desperately in love with the Inquisitor has left Cullen raw. Vulnerable. The horror of his past keeps intruding into his present, and he can't help but wonder whether he's been carrying it with him in more ways than one- whether his desires are his own, or something darker that controls and compels him from deep within his subconsciousness.
He needs to address it— he needs to come clean in order to move on— but will he lose the woman he loves in the process? Will he lose her to something (or someone) else before he can gather the courage to act?

Summary
As the daughter of one of Ferelden's two Teyrns, Castelin Cousland expected to spend her life running a noble household, practicing politics, and if she was lucky, continuing to train her combat skills. But then in one horrifying night of betrayal, her entire life was turned upside-down. Now, as Ferelden's newest Grey Warden recruit—and one of only two remaining, thanks to another betrayal—Castelin must rally what forces she can to try to stop the Fifth Blight before her homeland is completely destroyed.
A novelization of Dragon Age: Origins, featuring my warrior Warden, Castelin Cousland.

There Was One Light by Hiuman

Summary
A novelization of my DAO playthrough, with added focus on my character's perspective. The title was taken from Dagna's words in Inquisition: "It was a dark time. There was one light."
In this fic I try to make sense of established lore to better fit my storytelling medium, which means some slight canon divergence, though the main events are mostly the same. Rereading the Hunger Games Trilogy inspired me to write in first person POV, and I want to focus on character voice as much as I can. If something a character says feels OOC to you, I would greatly appreciate feedback on making them sound more authentic.
I don't really know how to use ratings, so I haven't rated it. If as you read you believe I should rate it a certain way, please inform me. If there are tags you think are missing that I should add, please inform me. I've tried not putting tags for things that aren't in the fic yet, though if there are tags you believe I should add regardless, please inform me.
Please keep in mind that this is the first ever work I've published, and I am not used to sharing my writing.

Once I Dreamed of Dragons by LadyMaisry

Summary
DAO, but includes canon that's not revealed until later games. Crosspost from ff, started in 2011, finished recently. All the beats of the game are there, the major plot points and decisions, etc. Think of it like some scribe holed up in a tower fifty years later got all the records he could from this story and what he puts in the official account is canon compliant.
Actual summary: What happens when the power to save a nation falls into the hands of someone who has every right to want to watch it burn? Well, here's half a million words about it. It got a mind of its own around the 250k mark, I take no responsibility from there.

Events of Dragon Age Origins, except here's the twist: What if Duncan went to Highever first, and got Female Cousland, and on their way to Ostagar, found an unconscious Female Mahariel?
Well, this is that, with a few more twists of my own to make it all flow together! -

Summary
Cedric the Sorcerer wanted nothing more than to see what secrets lay beyond an ancient, magical mirror. Rather than finding the key to taking over the kingdom of Enchancia, a battle-worn, world-weary warrior stumbled into his arms instead.
Evaline Surana, Hero of Ferelden, vanquisher of the Archdemon, Urthemiel, had faced everything the world of Thedas could throw at her. She had faced betrayal, heartbreak, darkspawn, and demons—but nothing prepared her for her greatest challenge yet: a world of pastel castles, talking animals, and a kingdom where most problems are solved through song.
As old magics begin to unravel across two worlds, Evaline must reconcile with her past, Cedric must (begrudgingly) rise to the occasion, and Princess Sofia might be the only one who truly understands what it means to be a hero.
What a tale this will be for the bards.

Summary
"Antagonising him counts as getting along?"
"Oh, that wasn't antagonising!" Alistair insisted, but the sparkle in his eye said otherwise. "That was…friendly banter."
Elissa laughed softly. "I'm sure he didn't see it that way."
"No, perhaps not."
The way he smiled was disarming. Not that Elissa had spent time with Grey Wardens, but she knew enough soldiers, and this young man with his playful grin and big brown eyes didn't strike her as a hardened warrior. He was tall, though, and so very broad under his armour.
Elissa Cousland never wanted to be queen. With the murder of her family, and little choice but to follow the Grey Warden who saved her life, Elissa finds herself one of the last two wardens in Ferelden. All they have to do is uncover a treasonous conspiracy, restore order to the throne, and stop the blight...all of which seems far easier than denying her growing feelings for bastard prince of Ferelden who won't stop smiling at her.

Summary
Susanna awakens with no memories, in the middle of nowhere, and has to crawl her way out of the ground. The forest is unrecognisable, there's a stone cottage seemingly abanonded, and a goat named Blaidd that swears he hates all people. Recognising the familiar feel of magic, Susanna decides to settle, explore and learn about this new world and the magic it contains, different from her own.
And then Anders comes.
(Alternative: Anders flees the Circle during the Broken Circle quest and escapes into the woods. He gets lost, Templar hot on his heels, and is saved by a witch. Susanna is influenced/inspired by the DnD Druid class.)
(Follows part of Origins, to Awakening, and then DA2. Eventual Male Hawke/OC, slow burn, canon divergence/fix-it fic)

Summary
This is a retelling of the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition, accounting for the proper existence of the surviving Hero of Ferelden.
Warden-Commander Carania Amell has been in her position for almost a decade. To the world, she's the hero who slayed the Archdemon Urthemiel, saving Thedas from the Fifth Blight. To the Grey Wardens, she's a nuisance that they have to accept. Either way, she turned into a political force that has to be reckoned with. In the heat of the Mage-Templar War, she avoids conflict, keeping the famous Grey Warden neutrality as best she can. But the dark tidings from the Free Marches bring a new angle for her research. It proves mostly fruitless until one day she sets out to investigate a lead on the eve of the Conclave.
As the end of the Mage Rebellion seems to be within grasp, lady Evelyn Trevelyan is tasked with a mission to see through her family's interests at the negotiations between the mages and the templars. A great opportunity to rise among the relatives is about to become much more dangerous than anyone could've anticipated...

Summary
Eighteen months ago, Bryn Cousland crawled out of the burning wreckage of her home and into the Blight, without a Grey Warden there to catch her. Now the Blight is over, the Grey Wardens are rebuilding their order in Ferelden, and Bryn wants to be a hero. What better way than to present herself at Vigil's Keep as a recruit?
And then the Hero of Ferelden conscripts the son of her family's murderer, and Bryn realises that she probably made a mistake.
(Mostly canon-compliant to Awakening, but with a lot of original content.)
