    Summary

    A silly promise, born of youthful infatuation, that was how it had started. Years ago when they were younger.
    But now, fate keeps pushing them together, as if an invisible thread binds them.
    Despite everything, Nimue de Riva, and Lucanis Dellamorte keep finding their way back to each other.

    This is a series of short(ish) chapters, concerning the relationship between Lucanis Dellamorte and my personal Rook, Nimue de Riva (female elf, mage – spellblade).
    May contain some OOC behavior for certain characters, but most of this is my own headcanon concerning said character(s).
    Most chapters will be Teen rated, with a few that might have some more suggestive themes included, this will be noted at the start of the chapter if necessary.

    Updates are every Monday and Friday until completion.

    Summary

    "The sickening sensation of magic that should never had existed filled her and Kai tried to hold on. The world around her was unmade. With a crack and an impact of changing pressure, she fell backwards out of a rift in time into a snow drift. A second, far greater crack echoed around her. After a disorienting moment, she shook the snow out of her hair and recognized her surroundings; the Frostback mountains above the valley of Haven, 9:41 Dragon. Overhead, a pillar of sickly green light shot into the sky. "
    -
    They failed. The Veil fell and Old Gods stalked the world. Driven to the brink, Kai Lavellan tries one last desperate ploy; go back in time and stop Fen'Harel before he could destroy the world. The Inquisition would march, she would march with them.

    Summary

    Ten years after the Inquisitor closed the Breach, Solas puts his plan into action to tear down the Veil. Members of the former Inquisition are there to stop him, including rookie, Ness Ingellvar. Genevieve Lavellan's dreams are full of cryptic questions and symbols, and she makes her way north to play a more active role in saving Solas from himself. The Dread Wolf, meanwhile, is trapped in the Fade, forced to interact with the waking world through Rook until he can resume his path to contrition. Ness tries to juggle the two estranged lovers while building a team in order to defeat escaped Elvhen gods Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain--and possibly Solas.

    Veilguard but with more involvement from my Inquisitor. Heavy on the Solavellan. My Rook will appear, and she romanced Davrin, so a little bit of that. Will probably tag as I go. Ideally I want to stick to the periphery of the story, like stuff we don't explicity see in-game, and this'll probably (definitely) get canon-divergent. Not much is planned; I'm just following the skeleton of the game and doing whatever I want with it!

    Summary

    “He’s here!”

    When the Inquisition comes to Redcliffe, Teon Wystan finds himself having to confront his complicated past with Ewan Trevelyan. Through promises of protection, it leads to the rebel mages agreeing to help close the Breach. Teon’s rekindled friendship with the Herald of Andraste dramatically alters his life and suddenly he is put in the path of Commander Cullen Rutherford. A former Templar, at first they find little common ground but perhaps their shared experiences can bridge the gap and pull them closer together. It does, more than either of them thought possible.

    Summary

    Single-minded Dawes Mercar has known one thing from a very young age - the Venatori must die.

    Minrathous is his home, and Minrathous hates him. Sometimes he thinks he hates it too. When a job with the Shadow Dragons goes so well (or so sideways, depending who you ask) that Dawes is asked to take some time away from the city, he never expected it would lead to a new purpose. And he never expected that purpose would arrive in the form of an optimistic, red-headed, freckled dwarf from Ferelden.

    Summary

    For #Neveweek2025 Day 4 - Neve's Past

    "Stories…I suppose, at one time in my life, I might’ve had any number of stories to share, but now there isn’t any other. There is only one I’ll ever be able to tell."

    Neve stares at the man sitting somberly across from her in surprise. For as long as she’s known him, Varric has always been an eager storyteller—able to weave even the most outlandish stories even without trying, and fond of sharing them with listeners. To hear such a man saying this…

    Something must have happened.

    Summary

    Once, when Rook was young and bored, she'd been sent to dispatch a Templar with a fondness for little magelings. On the way out, she raided the Circle library, finding a compilation of children's tales.

    One told the story of a passel of goat kids left behind by their mother, who warned them not to let in the wolf creeping outside their door. He would lie and deceive and wheedle, she told them, but they must resist. Sure enough, the first knock came, and a deep voice rumbled through the gnarled wood.

    "Let me in," said the voice. "Your mother has gifts for you all." His gruffness and timbre gave him away, however, and the goats did let him in. So the wolf found honey to soften his voice and returned, but this time the goats looked under the door and saw his black furry paws. Finally the wolf rolled in flour and knocked at the door once again; this time the goats let him in, and he devoured all but one of them.

    Rook feels a certain amount of kinship with those goats now, after Solas - if the clock turned back for them, she wonders, would they have killed the wolf before he ever had the chance to come calling?

    Summary

    Situado tiempo después de los hechos de Refugio, la Inquisición necesita reclutar a alguien que sepa cazar dragones, alguien que pueda dar apoyo a la Inquisidora cuando se enfrente a Corifeus y se encargue de su dragón. Y ésta es la razón por la cual Theriel, una apóstata elfa nómada, es requerida por la Inquisición. Porque alguien les ha dicho que es una de las mejores cazadoras de dragones de Thedas.

    Una vez en Feudo Celestial, Theriel deberá lidiar con la resignación de permanecer en un mismo sitio durante largos periodos de tiempo, los sentimientos encontrados entre el ayudar en lo que pueda y en sentir que eso no es su función, el enamorarse de alguien a quien hará daño y el tener que enfrentarse a un pasado que lleva demasiado tiempo acechándola.

    Summary

    You ever watched two mabari circling each other, all raised hackles and bared teeth, neither willing to be the first to back down? That’s what it was like when those two met. Commander Cullen Rutherford, Fereldan to the bone, a former Templar who’d spent half his life bracing for the next magical catastrophe, and Dorian Pavus, a Tevinter noble who wielded magic like a second skin and arrogance like a well-tailored cloak. The two were like oil and fire, and let me tell you, neither had any interest in mixing.

    -Excerpt from notes of Varric Tethras from his time in the Inquisition.

    Summary

    After a devastating loss for her clan, Ashawyn Lavellan swore she'd never lead another team...but fate has a funny way of making us break those promises.

    ~~

    “No one blames you, da’len,” she said gently. “You saved far more lives than you lost.”

    “I’m sure that’s a great consolation to their families,” Ash muttered under her breath.

    “Your father always carried that responsibility on his shoulders as well. I watched it eat away at him for years. I do not wish to see the same burden weigh you down.”

    “I’m not weighed down, Deshanna,” she sighed. “It’s just safer this way. You named me head scout. Trust my judgement.”

    “It is as you say,” she conceded.

    Ash finished stuffing the last few potion bottles into her bag before pulling her cowl up over her head.

    “I’ll send a report back as soon as I’m able.” She stopped and placed a hand on the Keeper’s shoulder.

    “Halam’shivanas,” Deshanna said softly, placing her hand over Ash’s. “Dareth shiral, Ashawyn.”

    “Halam’shivanas,” she responded in the same low tone before disappearing into the night.

    Summary


    That's the world. Everything you build, it tears down. Everything you've got, it takes. And it's gone forever. The only choices you get are to lie down and die or keep going. He kept going. That's as close to beating the world as anyone gets. – Varric Tethras, Dragon Age: Inquisition
     
    I should start this by saying, I really should have known better. There’s no such thing as coincidence; it’s an illusion, a fabrication we create because we just want to move on with our lives as if nothing happened. For the longest time, I clung desperately to that illusion, to the belief that being reincarnated into a world I’d once known as a game was nothing more than a coincidence.

    It sounds so foolish, now that I think about it. I was so foolish. My only defense is this: the power of denial can never be underestimated.

    Yes, it’s a poor defense. Especially for me. Especially after what I’ve done.

    So here it is. A compendium of my life’s memories, jumbled together in the hope that someone, anyone, finds it in themselves to understand.

    Summary

    A prodigy was a product of their family. A product of all who came before, and an inspiration for all who come after.

    Taylor hadn't known what her mom meant by that saying when she'd heard it years ago. Just that family can help in ways you never thought possible. At least, not until her incident. Now she was plagued by thirteen people she had never known. Never would have in any other circumstance.

    But if she could find a way to help her home using this bout of insanity, then maybe it would be okay. Just this once.
