  1. Summary

    A chess piece, moving in straight lines? Or a harbinger of war and change? Hruse Ingellvar thinks she might be both. When the world ends, and the choices are death or desperation, she willingly goes back to the beginning to see if she can stop it from happening.

    Now the only question that remains is will she turn the Dread Wolf away from the duty he thinks he can’t escape, or sacrifice herself for the greater good?

    Summary

    “I said wait!” she hisses again, palm slicing the air in irritation. “Come on! You’re not a guard, I’m not a guard, you’re clearly here on some shady business, I’m also here on some shady business! Why make each other’s night harder when we could just… walk away?”

    She tilts her head, a cocky grin tugging at her lips. “Surely you don’t want to waste your precious time hiding a body when you could be doing…” Her eyes roam over him, up and down and back again. “…whatever it is that you’re doing?”

    Not just an inept assassin. A young one.

    Solas exhales, eyes lifting toward the sky. It’s always harder to end a life when it’s barely begun.

     

    or

     

    Solas and Rook – though she isn’t even called Rook yet – meet years before the events of Veilguard. This changes everything.

    This changes nothing.

    Summary

    He is nothing like either of the images she had conjured in her head. She had painted the Solas of Varric’s Inquisition into a small, spindly figure who was uncannily similar to her cousin’s husband, Abren, who had memorized old ballads and carved little, delicate, wooden halla. Fen’Harel…well, it depends. There was the giant wolf, of course, although how giant seemed to change, depending on what mood she was in when imagining him. And the elf…

    (A pitch-black room and an ice-cold stone floor. Pleading words whispered into the emptiness. A last resort. A last hope.)

    Aradin Mercar, once of clan Lavellan, is barely holding her own sanity together. It is somewhat unreasonable, then, to expect her to be able to hold all of Thedas together as well - especially as Thedas itself continues to turn against her.

    Summary

    Still an ongoing WIP. This was supposed to be a very self-indulgent oneshot smut fic, and then it became 3 chapters and 20k words, and then I added more worldbuilding and leadup, and now I'm- idk. Here? This is my first fanfic work in probably 15 years, and Mass Effect has me by the metaphorical balls as a diehard krogan simp. Basic premise is Shepard's life post-destroy ending is one of endless political posturing. Everyone wants a piece of her and it's shredding her already tattered soul. So she ends up seeking advice from an unlikely source, and decides to make a major life change. Spoiler alert: I don't see Wrex and Shepard as star-crossed lovers or anything like that (no love-at-first-sight stuff from me) and their friendship is very important to me; I think you should be friends with the people you love, personally. There will be nsfw stuff but them being friends is The Good Shit. Tuchanka stuff starts at Ch. 6. For those that came for the smut, I'll do you a solid and denote the specific chapters when I get them posted. Don't be afraid to leave comments letting me know what you think. Engagement validates me [insert discord pleading eyes emoji].

    Summary

    Ellana Lavellan is one of two apprentices to her clan’s Keeper, and not the most skillful of the pair. She expects to be sent away after failing to earn a place as First, but when she stumbles upon an ancient shrine to Fen’Harel and inadvertently summons the Dread Wolf himself, she finds in him a wealth of powerful, forgotten magics. He’ll teach her, if she makes a suitable offering: herself.

    Ellana returns to the shrine again and again, summoning Fen’Harel to teach her more, but time works differently on the other side of the eluvian; centuries pass for him while only weeks go by for her. As she grows to know him as Solas, she discovers that the Creators are not the benevolent deities she believed them to be, and that the Dread Wolf is a man she can love.

    What comfort can a mere Dalish mage offer a rebel god? More than either of them ever expected.
