    Summary

    It was as if she had always been there, as ancient as the city itself. People couldn’t really remember what it had been like before her arrival. When Cullen interrogated the poor individuals in touch with her, they either; cowered in fear from the mentioning of her name alone, or ; spoke of her with such fondness that Cullen thought they must be under some spell. Which he wouldn’t put past her, since she was also a powerful mage with skills taught to her outside the Circle.

    Summary

    9:19 Dragon – Varric Tethras loses his virginity to a pretty dwarf girl at the bar.

    9:41 Dragon - The consequence walks through the gates of Skyhold.

    -

    In my childish fantasies, I used to dream of being the Champion; going places, meeting people, loving them and being loved in return, never discarded nor kicked nor beaten; love, in perpetuity, the likes of which a girl under the heavy and forceful hand of a mother could not begin to dream of, because she could not dream at all.

    -

    aka, the fic where varric has a daughter that he didn't know about until five minutes ago.

    Summary

    In honor of the new game coming out for Dragon Age, I'm starting a collection of one-shot/drabble character studies following each of my player characters throughout the game. These will be closely intertwined with each other and keep as close to the game accurate timeline as possible. (At least until I add my own brand of canon)
    Each entry will be at least 300 words.

    Meet Guinefort Brosca, a Casteless Dwarf born in Dust Town, Orzammar, taught by the Carta, and raised by her sister Rica. Shes never left Orzammar and has always been told she'll amount to nothing. Yet, against all odds, she wants to be more.

    Summary

    The room was pleasant. Clean and large enough for a aimple dresser, desk, bed and pair of chairs- even if the space they formed all together was a cramped one. Victoria was a little worried about the oil lamp sitting on the edge of the desk. at least It was upstairs away from the smells of the street while also remarkably soundproof, almost like magic. She said as much to Sampson and he laughed, loud in his drunkenness, settling into his chair.

    “Yeah, they attract some apostate mages 'ere, people don’t report 'em to the templars.”

    Mages? “What?”

    Summary

    Hawke nudged Fenris with her elbow, avoiding the spikes on his armor. “See that weird alcove?” she asked, pointing. His eyes followed the invisible line she indicated, until they alighted on a dark bend in the darker stone walls.

    Fenris nodded. “I see it.”

    “That passage leads to a Carta Proving ring,” she informed him.

    “Okay? And?”

    She puffed out her chest and gave him a cocky grin. “And I’m gonna fight in it.”

    //

    Summary

    "Viviendo en el techo corres el riesgo de caerte hacia el cielo". La mera idea de abandonar el único hogar que había conocido, por sucio, peligroso y oscuro que fuese, nunca se le había pasado por la cabeza. Ni lo habría hecho, de no ser porque aquella última misión había salido muy mal y quedarse allí le deparaba una muerte inmediata.
    De ese modo, sin esperarlo, dejar atrás la roca se convirtió en su única posibilidad de ganar tiempo y darle un propósito a su vida. Y quizás también de encontrar una nueva familia.

    Summary

    Summary

    Una Cadash has always been perceived by humans as a crude, barbaric thug. And she plays into that role, figuring she is not destined (and more importantly, does not deserve) to be anyone else.

    But it so happens that, as she becomes Herald and then Inquisitor, she learns to read and write, and that unleashes a thirst for knowledge that she indulges only in secret and in shame. Because education is not for the likes of her.

    However, the Inquisition's imprisoned magister, who used to advocate for education rights for Tevinter commoners* before he fell from grace, begs to differ.
