    Summary

    “Besides, Ostwick’s Circle had a reputation for being rather sedate.”

    Inquisitor Sigrid Trevelyan harbours dark secrets that put her at odds with being the Herald of Andraste. But what if it were these very secrets that moulded her to become Andraste’s Chosen?

    When her magical abilities manifest themselves as a lightning storm before the nobility of Thedas, Sigrid Trevelyan is hauled off to the Ostwick Circle of Magi to hone her abilities as a Mage, to be of use to the Chantry and, most importantly, to be kept locked away from the outside world.

    Ostwick Circle, however, is not the sedate sanctuary of learning and care that it purports itself to be to outsiders. Deep corruption festers at the root, its thorned tendrils twisting itself around the very Mages it was meant to protect.

    As the tendrils take hold of Sigrid, she must learn to endure and survive the supposedly sedate Circle, lest she succumb to its eventual stranglehold.

    Summary

    He is green; she is gilded. A newly anointed Templar with too much faith, and a noblewoman who is the embodiment of sin. Crises of belief will bind them while their loyalties will splinter. When one falters, will the other offer absolution - or let them burn?

    Summary

    Murmurs of revolution have broken into Clan Lavellan. It's all anyone is talking about, how the mages are revolting against the Chantry. Some think it's good news, that it finally means the Chantry might fall--not Athewyn. Anything to do with the humans is untrustworthy and a waste of her time. She's got decidedly better things to do than hope the Chantry finally destroys itself after a thousand years. She's content with their life wandering the Free Marches. Athewyn doesn't like change.

    After a summons to her Keeper, she finds herself suddenly in Ferelden with no other instruction than to spy on this Mage-Templar conclave in a place she's never even heard of. With a Grey Warden and his new recruits as her guide, she's getting a crash-course in humanity. Whether or not they can convince her all humans aren't so bad remains to be seen.

    Summary

    “Da’len, I know what happened to you in Halamshiral,” her dark eyes drifted to the tied-off sleeve of his tunic, right where his left arm should have been, “I could not ask more of you, not when you’re hunting the Dread Wolf, but I do thank you for returning home to help.” He stood still, unable to look her in the eye as she recounted his exploits. She sighed. “I think you should rest, Taa’l; I know how you lay awake at night and how the wolf haunts your steps.” There was a long pause of silence from her pupil. “Come, I have someone very important who wants to see you. I think it will lighten your mood.”

    Summary

    Snapshots of Dorian Pavus' life, as interrupted by a fated meeting, told in a good old-fashioned, slow-burn series of vignettes.

    Everyone needs a good love story once in a while, and I'm here to please. Things will (eventually) get steamy (when I feel "up" to the challenge). Also, heed the updating tags, this story gets dark quick.

    Summary

    – Даруй мне Твою благосклонность.

     

    И с тех времен, когда она еще пыталась, Нерия знает, какие слова последуют дальше. Затаив дыхание, она ждет – и дрожащий голос Магдалены, наконец, продолжает:

     

    – Коснись меня огнем, который очистит меня.

    Summary

    The Inquisitor has just returned from back-to-back missions to the Storm Coast and Crestwood, and wonders if she'll ever thaw out. After her return to Stormhold, Cullen comes to her quarters to inform her of a development regarding Corypheus's Red Templars and their leader.

    Everything seems to be business as usual until a servant comes to her room and finds the Commander in the lady's chambers late at night, no doubt leading to the wrong conclusion. Eva Trevelyan, the inquisitor, decides to take a chance since they're going to be gossip fodder anyway.

    Summary

    Three different heroes, three different lives, and they all converge at one point.

    Morwen Hawke is torn by the divide between what she wants and her desperate clamor for a steady future she must carve for her family in the wake of death, war, and disarray. Selfishly, she has always wanted more than she can have, promising to pay the cost later.

    Briana Trevelyan is thrust into leadership and prestige after a decade forcefully trying to put her family's name and titles behind her, cursed by the Maker to tarnish a noble name with magic. She must outrun her past's monsters while fighting new ones and create purpose where she has always feared to find it.

    Fionne Amell is not quite sure she is the hero everyone wants and remembers her to be, but she is too afraid to die a young hero's death anyway.

    Summary

    9:25 Dragon

    Years before he became the Hero of Ferelden, Aedan Cousland competes in the Tantervale Grand Tourney melee final against a surprising opponent: fierce, sharp-witted, and unmistakably talented Marie Trevelyan of Ostwick. And he can’t help but feel a little bit smitten when she clobbers him. Lucky for him, there's a banquet afterward.
    ****
    “I want a square victory,” she says, settling into her heels. “You had best not hold back, Cousland.”
    “Now why would I do a thing like that?” he answers, grinning behind his bevor.
    “Some misplaced sense of chivalry perhaps?” she counters, eyes twinkling like serpentstone gems.
    “In this case, I believe the chivalrous thing to do is to make you work for it,” he says, flipping down his visor just as the yellow flag falls.

    Summary

    The Circle burns, every Grey Warden in Orlais is hearing the Calling, and the youngest Trevelyan takes on a responsibility that the Hero of Ferelden didn't have enough time to see through to the end.

    Ysara is a former Circle mage, welcomed into the ranks of the Inquisition by her elder sister during the mage-Templar war. With her newfound freedom, she willingly takes on the almost impossible task of attempting to find a cure for the Taint, which causes almost all Grey Wardens to meet a premature end as they begin to hear the Calling. Most of her life having been spent in the Circle means she has to learn how to navigate a lot of new things for the first time, for which senior Grey Warden Alistair is more than happy to help with.

    Summary

     
    "Yet everything that touches us, me and you, takes us together like a violin's bow, which draws one voice out of two separate strings." -Rainer Maria Rilke-

    Welcome to my version of a mage Trevelyan/Cullen pairing. This story will be based mostly during the events of the Inquisition, without touching too much on in-game quests and as such, it will not quite be a literal retelling of the game story line.

    Expect a generous sprinkling of world-building, in particular the Ostwick Circle, and a cast of well-developed characters.

    Told from the POV of my Inquisitor Loryen, a musician whose soft and kind nature is at odds with the demands of the Inquisition, and of our beloved Commander Cullen - without a doubt my favorite DA character to write - who discovers he doesn't have to punish himself forever for the errors of his past.

     

    PLEASE NOTE THAT AS OF 2025, THIS FIC IS NOT ABANDONED, JUST PAUSED. Currently revising the already written but not yet published chapters, in the hope I came resume updates more regularly soon.

     

    As always, thank you to anyone reading this! It's a labour of love! <3
