    Summary

    Haunted by the mistakes of her past, Evana Lavellan feels (reluctantly) compelled to stay and help the newly dubbed "Inquisition" close the Breach. But no longer than that. After all, they only care for her welfare because of the mark on her hand.

    Unfortunately, every mission seems to take her further away from her goal instead of closer to it. But each refugee saved and disaster averted also brings with it a sliver of tranquility, a fleeting taste of atonement for past wrongs. Surrounded by new people - new friends - she discovers a wider world than she'd ever imagined with her clan, a world in which she has the power to improve the lives of both elves AND mages.

    Strangest of all, she finds herself drawn to an unlikely friend and confidant in Inquisition's ex-templar military advisor who, like her, is all too familiar with the bitter taste of regret... and the fragile touch of hope.

    **Game scenes/dialogue included but also tons of original "in-between" moments, dialogue, character development and introspection. Super mild AU for shuffling conversation locations and tweaking the order of events. Quizzy is my own.

    Summary

    Asha Lavellan arrives at the Temple of Sacred Ashes tranquil, recruited by the Rebel Mages to testify to the Conclave about the atrocities committed against her Clan by a group of rogue templars, who left her home destroyed and her an unwilling victim of the Rite. The next day, she wakes up, her hand marked with the anchor, and her tranquility somehow negated. Newly returned to consciousness by unstable magic she doesn't quite understand, she must try to deal with her out-of-control emotions, her grief, and the fact she's now supposedly meant to... save the world?

    A sort-of novelisation of Dragon Age: Inquisition, but with some minor and major plot changes, and one hell of a pro-mage, disaster-bi Dalish Inquisitor. The Clan Lavellan war table mission happens (badly) before the narrative of Inquisition begins.

    The romance is enemies-to-friends-to-lovers and 'lovers' will be taking a long, long, LONG time to happen. It is an extreme slow burn. Honestly, I even hate myself at this point.

    Summary

    “I don’t know where to begin, vhenan,” she said at last, her voice small. “Where do we begin?”
    Now he stepped closer, their bodies brushing but not touching. He put his hands on either side of her face and held her gently, and even that small touch made her close her eyes.
    “Look at me,” he said. She opened her eyes and they drifted, as always, to those lips. “Can I begin here?”

    Even if Solas did change his mind and come back to Lavellan post-Trespasser, how would they reconnect with each other after everything that happened? Theoretically a sequel to another fic, but should stand on its own.

    Ch. 1-5: Initial reconciliation. Ch. 6-13: How their lives unfold afterwards. (Chapter 12 added on 4/14/17!)

    Summary

    Solas is immediately infatuated with the Inquisitor, however he is nothing but conflicted. Of course he resists! Especially given the age difference between him and Lavellan. This story (mostly follows) canon but concentrates on the romantic in-between events, switching back and forth between different DAI characters POV.

    Also eventual smut. Spoilers!
