Summary
An utterly unrepentant self-insert main character gets isekai'd into Dragon Age: Inquisition, and eventually falls for Cullen Rutherford.
Beth Chisholm had what she considered an unremarkable life, until something pulled her into the Fade and she found herself in Haven directly after the explosion of the Conclave. Now she's surrounded by strangers in a land torn apart by a religious and magical war, and she's started receiving visions that tell her more about the future and the past. Scooped up by the Inquisition, she's given a chance to put her new powers - and some of her old talents - to use.
Cullen Rutherford joined the Inquisition to atone for his past and leave it behind, and certainly not to find a relationship. But he cannot get the Inquisition's new Seer out of his head - at first because he's unsettled by her strange power, but eventually, because of something else entirely...

Summary
The last thing Sylvaine Broussard remembers from two years ago is dying. She was thirty, she was about to finally get her dream job, and she had been on her way home. And then she was dead. The next thing she remembered was waking up in Thedas with no idea how she got there or if she'd ever be able to go home. Her only goals are to survive, live happily and peacefully on Dennet's farm for the rest of her quiet NPC life, and stay as far away from any game events that she possibly can.
Because that's going to work out just fine for her, right?

Summary
Dropping into a new world was rather like dropping into a pool. Sure, once you've swam once you know how to do it again, but you have to get used to the temperature. The feeling.
Having a body was a lot like that. For one thing, it was heavy. I wasn't used to that. I still needed to build up muscle, to get used to it.
At least it was my adult body. Gods forbid if I was reborn in a fucking infant.
So of course, the first thing I did, was get stupid drunk. It wasn't hard. I'm nothing if not a massive lightweight.

Summary
Aislin Lavellan was set to become the next First in her family, after her father before her. She was strong-willed, confident... a gracious leader, and fit the role of Herald of Andraste perfectly. She would make the perfect figurehead to the newly formed Inquisition.
Too bad the Mark of the Rift, and the Dread Wolf, took her rebellious twin sister Mellan along for the ride.
A "What If?" fic based on the premise: "What if there were two Lavellans, with one being the ideal 'Bioware Protag' and the other being the opposite?"
