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?
Completely written. Updates once a week.

Summary
Hawke’s gaze meanders the entire length of Rook’s exasperated body before she deigns to meet their narrow-eyed glare. “You’re in my armour.”
What is she doing here?! “And you’re in my seat.”
Hawke gestures dismissively at the muscled brawn of her thighs. “I’ve got plenty of space here for an adoring fan.”
Staring into the middle distance, Rook briefly considers the optics of hurling the Champion of Kirkwall over the edge of the courtyard and back into the Fade.
---
Months after killing the gods and saving the world, Rook de Riva finds themself living in the Lighthouse and lingering at rock bottom. That is, until they arrive home to discover Marian Hawke in their chair, drinking their wine, and demanding the swift return of their armour. Predictably, this results in...the convoluted bureaucracy that is Thedosian marriage annulment. -

Summary
“Kagome, go home!” Inuyasha shouted as his hand reached out and shoved her hard, pushing her over the edge and into the well.
-
Kagome screamed as darkness swallowed her. She felt the familiar pull as she was dragged inside the well, but that is where the familiarity ended. There was no otherworldly light as she traveled between times, no glow of magic, and no familiar roof of the shrine on the other side. Instead a deep, dense fog encompassed her as she fell down down down down down…

Summary
After spending a decade stuck in Thedas, you'd think Emma had already hit the limit on lifetime regrets. When she finally manages to track Solas down, however, she finds out there's always room for more regrettable life choices. Solas might be safely contained in Fade Jail, but she’s just unleashed two all-powerful megalomaniacal bastards in his place. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Solas now has a permanent visiting room inside her head, Varric’s stuck on long-term bedrest, and she’s been out of the Inquisiting game for long enough to have essentially zero political power, meaning she’s operating entirely on goodwill and vibes.
Still, it’s not all bad. She’s got a new gang of friends ready and willing to help her put those dicks back in their box, a fancy new base of operations, and a pretty knife that’s a certified god-killer. Between them, they can get the job done. Probably. Stabbing two gods with a piece of cutlery will almost certainly be easier than working through her feelings for the hot Crowbomination she’s just hired, anyway. Who's a better match for a mage than a renowned mage-killer, right? (Possibly she's still on the bad choices train)

It begins an exchange; he leaves flowers in the chipped vase in her room (and then procures a new vase), and Rook gifts him wine glasses. Emmrich finds books that she might enjoy, and she does the same. Considering they’re facing the end of the world and death at the hands of gods, it could be going worse.

Summary
It's an odd sensation, traveling through an Eluvian, but Neve barely pays attention to the feeling as they stumble out the mirror on the other side.
She looks up, praying for Tevinter, for home, for anything familiar.
Instead, she finds that they're in the Fade.

Summary
Gods, it had burned. First, in the air, then in the water, then in her.
She remembered waking up on a makeshift bedroll. In truth, it had been little more than a small pile of hay with a thin blanket thrown on top. Sprawled out on her back, everything had just ached at first. Then, she had tried to lift her arm.
~*~
Rook, a 20-year veteran of the Grey Wardens, engages in multiple verbal altercations with the Dread Wolf and at least one physical one.

Summary
Everything came in shades of grey.
The mist was palest, an off-white that rolled and twisted like vapour. The floor was darkest where she could see parts unobscured. The flagstones cracked and pitted. She knew that she sat upon something solid, stone she surmised from the hardness. The press of her calves revealed more solidity. A pat of her hands sent a shower of pebbles over the edge of something high, flat and rectangular.
She was sitting on a stone bench in a ruin filled with fog.
An oddity that didn’t frighten her though she supposed it should have. Ellana Lavellan, the retired Inquisitor tilted her head back to look upwards. She saw an expanse of darkness, illuminated by tiny pinpricks of light. She thought it a moonless night sky, the heavens dotted with stars till what was silver turned red. The multitude gleaming like rubies in the void that extinguished then rekindled.
Once, twice then thrice as if the darkness were lids opening and closing over blood-red eyes.

Emmrich turned to look at Rook and Lucanis as the door to the Den rolled back and smiled at them brightly. "Wonderful! Everyone is here. I can begin," he said, turning back to the bowl on the table. He wasted no time in drawing upon the magic of the Fade around them, beginning the incantation he'd been working on for the past several days.

Summary
Dr. Margaret Palmer is a young family doctor in a small town. She was just trying to unwind and started her second playthrough of Dragon Age: The Veilguard with the intention of saving Treviso and romancing Lucanis.
Solas’s ritual to tear down the Veil backfires spectacularly, and Molly finds herself confronting Solas in the Fade instead of comfortably on her couch and making her Rook muddle through.
She’s got a checklist:
- Cure the blight.
- Kill the gods.
- Save everyone.
- Redeem Solas.
- Improve her chess game?
- Learn to cook?
- Fall in love?
But she knows it’s all going to end.
