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
Modern AU: Events of Dragon Age II and Dragon Age Inquisition, without Corypheus around.
When Solas woke up, he was dead-set to go along with his plan. Particularly after three Dalish clans told him off, and he settled in Kirkwall, only to discover that the city was caught in a political war about whether to reinstall a Circle of Magi, after centuries since the Chantry declared them abolished.
Everything changed when he took pity on two stranded children, and decided to get his plan on pause. An orb in the back of his office, an annoying dwarf mocking him in his house, he postponed everything until Aisling and Dorian would be grown up and had lived a long life.Things won't probably go according to plan.

Summary
"There were many ex-Templars in the Inquisition, to Erika’s distaste, but there was only one Templar, with a capital T. The Templar, though from Kirkwall, was infamous even at Ostwick, one of the few whose name all mages in the Free Marches knew. Knight-Captain Cullen. Everyone always used to say his name like it was one word: Knightcaptaincullen. He belonged to that illustrious category of Templars, to whom their regular self-righteousness was insufficient, and new and inventive kinds had to be devised on the daily."
A mage!Trevelyan/Cullen romance where they both have a lot of issues, most of which will only be exacerbated in this fic.

Summary
With Corypheus gone, the Inquisition has begun to turn toward its original purpose: establishing and maintaining some modicum of order in the face of a war spanning the continent. That will be its primary means of protecting (and, sometimes, pacifying) mages. But Cordelia Trevelyan believes that her duty goes beyond that; the mere survival of the mages cannot be the ultimate goal. She wants to begin building for her kin what she herself now has: a life worth living.
Would that it were as simple as that.
Note: Rating will go up.

Summary
“When you go to Kirkwall, I want to come with you.”
Evelyn placed the reports on her desk slowly, his words and the implications sinking in. She turned to him, her smile faded and eyes narrowed.
“You do?” She asked carefully. “You want to come with me to Kirkwall?”
Her hesitation wasn’t surprising. Of the long nights they’d spent talking in the dark, wrapped in one another where it was safest, he’d said more than once he never intended to return. He’d foolishly declared himself healed; there was no need to open old wounds.
But even stitched together, a wound could still be infected. Sometimes reopening to clean out the rot was the only way forward.
When Inquisitor Evelyn Trevelyan is invited to Kirkwall by Sebastian Vael on a diplomatic visit, Cullen realises the only way he'll close that chapter of his life is to go back and face it for himself.
How much is a peaceful future worth opening old wounds?

Summary
Evelyn is a renowned Knight-Enchanter, nicknamed "The Phoenix" for her magical prowess and mutation. Having worked alongside Templars for the last decade, she has more opportunities than most mages. After the events at Kirkwall, her Circle falls to the chaos of the Mage Rebellion. Rumor has it that she was its cause, but is it true? When the Divine invites her to speak at the Conclave, she is eager to help but has no idea what is in store for her. Fueled by trauma and duty, she finds a kindred spirit in Cullen who reaches out to help them both out of their own darkness. The more they share, the more it seems the Maker weaves the threads of their fate together, tighter and tighter.
Ghosts from the past, forced red lyrium consumption, powerful magic, battles, grievous wounds, family reunions, beautiful friendships, humor, and heartfelt moments await Evelyn & Cullen.
This is a slow-burn romance of Evelyn & Cullen, picking up later with courtship and navigating through love's trials through a crisis.

Summary
“Vesper,” she paused and looked at him waiting. His forehead was doing a strange amount of movement as he moved closer. “I need your help.”
“Of course. I am happy to help.” He barely withheld a grimace at her choice of words and handed her a folded piece of parchment. “Tomorrow when you are in the market...a friend of Garrett Hawke will come. I have not been able to remove Bethany from her recent isolation, Meredith will not listen to reason. If you could give him this letter; in secret.”
“Are you asking me to break the rules?”“The more stringent Meredith gets the less the Circle will be able to support itself and we will waste away without the funds. Its a simple thing to give him this letter, but if I do it, well, we don’t need to give the Templars anymore ammunition against the mages and as you are a Formari and not a mage-”
“I cannot be implicated with helping a mage rebellion because I am not a mage is what you are saying.” He chuckled smiling sadly and touched her fingertips. “You were always the smartest and brightest among the Gallows Vesper Amell.” She took his hand and moved the letter into her sleeve. “Not the smartest First Enchanter.” He touched her arm. “Does it-do you have regrets?”

Summary
Modest in temper, bold in deed.
That was the motto of House Trevelyan. But as a mage in the Ostwick Circle, Evelyn Trevelyan would only ever be able to fulfill the first half. Boldness was not something the world wanted from a mage. Evelyn had long accepted this fact, even as she dreamed of freedom, if only a fraction of the freedom others enjoyed. When a mage destroyed a Chantry in Kirkwall, starting what would become the Templar-Mage War, Evelyn found herself thrust into a world that required boldness not only for survival, but for the savior it saw in the Herald of Andraste. Can an ex-templar teach her to trust herself and the boldness he sees hidden deep inside?

Summary
ON HIATUS?
I'm pretty sure I will finish this before I pass away from old age, because I've been circling back to these two every eighteen months or so for a decade and I have hundreds of thousands of words down, I just keep adjusting plot points and throwing everything off. But old age is still a fair way off, so... maybe don't read unless you just love an unfinished WIP.
***
Alena and Cullen are unexpectedly thrown back together in the wake of the Conclave. But in the thick of war, the tangled mess of their histories is hard to reconcile.
Everybody's trauma is being laboriously worked through! Also a little plot, a little politics, a little porn. Anti-Templar Order but pretty pro-Templars; some minor canon divergence; freely tossing out the lore when it suits me.
The previous fic in this series, An Unmarked Place, sets up the preexisting relationship between Alena and Cullen. It's not too long and this probably won't make a ton of sense without it.
Will update tags as we go along and drop trigger warnings in the notes when the tough stuff comes up.
