Summary
Knight-Templar Lux is as silent and steady as the stone tower she's been raised to patrol, protecting the mages as best she knows how, even if that means from other Templars. Being isolated is a consequence she's used to. Being conversed with by one of the mages she's tried to protect? Not so much.

Summary
Tiaa Trevelyan is the last person anyone wants to be their savior. A suspected criminal with talents more suited for wild destruction and links to an event during the Mage-Templar War that has even other rebels looking at her with suspicion; she was not on the docket of people allowed to speak at the Conclave...or be at it.
So what was she doing tumbling out of a rift after the Conclave exploded?
According to many, including the Commander of the Inquisition, probably nothing good. Tiaa is there though and the only one that can handle the rifts spawning in the wake of the Breach now. So she'll save the damn world, even if she has to drag it kicking and screaming along behind her.

Summary
“W-Why are you yelling at me?” Lilin slurs. Viago falls silent, his dark eyes flitting from the bottle of antiseptic in his hands (he thinks it’s antiseptic, at least—Teia is always switching the labels on his supplies, which is “funny” right up until he accidentally kills someone while trying to rinse out their wounds) to Lilin’s face. Her left eye is almost swollen shut, the result of attempting to stop a sword pommel… with her skull.

How to Evade a Templar by DalishRanger, Zellandine
Fandoms: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age (Video Games)
18 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
A sequel to "A Very Un-Daring Escape". It's early 9:32 Dragon. Aderyn, the young Ferelden and reluctant apostate, traverses the wilds and towns of Orlais. Her friend and guardian, Delain, a curmudgeon of a Dalish whittler, guides the apostate through the wilds and tries to stay one step ahead of the templars. On the cusp of apprehension, the duo are aided by an unexpected ally in the form of a catty, blasphemous Orlesian mercenary. Meanwhile, the stress-relief arrangement between the templars Eldora and Marcel grows more complicated.
The original story was written back in 2011 after Dragon Age 2, so some lore may be a bit rusty. Where possible we'll try to clean up things. Part two of a series. More tags to be added as we go further through the work and refresh our memories on items to tag for.

Please Don't Go Away - Act 3 by nekojinrogue

Summary
Picking up right where we left off in He Can Be Strong For Someone Else - Act 2.
Kirkwall is as hard to stomach as ever even though things have calmed down some.
All Cullen can do is the best he can. Try to uphold his duty and his conscience and straddle the gap between the two.
The thing is...lines are beginning to blur. All kinds of lines, not just between mages and templars or demons and magic.
He's still possessed, he still has nightmares, he still can't sleep. But maybe he's learning from all of this.Once again I state that I am being very fast and loose with the timeline here, so things can move and shift a bit to match up with the course of events for the story. Nothing is concrete except the scenes that have been detailed and if I come up with more scenes to add, they’ll come as new posts outside of each Act. I have thought of a few already.
(This story has taken on a life of its own - which forced a slight change to the title of this act.)Series

He Can Be Stong For Somebody Else - Act 2 by nekojinrogue

Summary
It's a daily struggle, a grind toward salvation.
Right now it feels impossible, there's no resolution and no end in sight, but at least Cullen is staying busy.
He has remembered what it is to try to be proactive. Or as proactive as one can be while insomnia and depression and anger and trauma all push and pull in every direction at once.But Cullen is trying his best. Thankfully, his best is pretty damn good.
Especially in the face of adversity.Plus, he's realizing...things that he accepted as truth... It really isn't. And these mages have a really shit time in Kirkwall. Even he has to admit that.

He's Not Okay - Act 1 by nekojinrogue

Summary
This is part of a series that will tell Cullin Rutherford's story, from Origins through DA2 and Inquisition.
This is my take on Cullin's story and his involvement on the sidelines and how his character developes over time.
Warnings will increase as the story progresses. For now, there will be plenty of gore and violence, demons, bloodmages, torture and PTSD. There will be some references to demonic non/con, but it will not be graphic.
Later in the series, the ratings may rise to Explicit, but not for a while. Poor Cullin has been too traumatized for love any time soon.Series

Summary
All his personal crap aside, Cullen is still the knight-captain, even if it is a sham. Since when has he ever shirked his duty?
He'll be the best damn knight-captain that he can manage with the tools that he has available.To do list :
Make nice with Alrik.
Get his circle under control. Thrask in, predatory templars out.
Pretend he's not a filthy traitor.
Control his Nightmares. Why is everything so Red suddenly?
Qunari...? No, that is not on the list. Get that crap out of here!
Did he always shout this much? Or is this new?Series
