Summary
I spent my first year here in Thedas, in a world I know from video games I first played during the pandemic lockdown, trying to get back home. Well, okay, no. I spent the largest part of the first year alternately sobbing and staring into space in a Chantry hospice, having a fun little emotional and mental breakdown as all of the laws of reality as I know them were broken.
I spent the second year trying to get back. I searched out people I thought could help, but I couldn’t even get to Kirkwall. There’s only so many odd jobs you can do for money, and that money does not get you far in a post-Blight Ferelden. I managed to get enough coin and favor to barter for a message to be carried into Orlais. It would result in either my murder for being a threat or hopefully the formation of a powerful acquaintance, but as no reply ever came, I lost hope.
I have spent the last two years resigned. I am not a Chosen One. I am an accident of fate or chance, and neither matters much when I’m gaunt from hunger and living in a drafty shack in one of the coldest places I’ve ever been to.

Summary
The Holy War was fought before Mira was born. Humanity lost; Reya won. Now, just shy of thirteen, Mira knows not her parents. She has been raised by the Holy Mother and the Sister Warriors to survive in the cracks of a world ruled by a maleficent deity and her monstrous Angels. But their corner of the wilderness is no longer safe. Now Mira's care and training will be entrusted to a stranger, a warrior with eyes like Mira's, who both carries divinium and wears it in her skin, and who fights like the Devil. Together, they will brave a fallen world and survive, even if it means they must challenge God Herself.
A post post-canon fic.

Summary
Time is a flat circle, and it began in the middle. Some day, Viktor and Jayce will be Lamb and Wolf. Lamb remembers how and guides time through the needle of kindness. Wolf forgets, but feels what kindness is to remind her. They start at the end of the story, and have been present ever since.
A retelling of Arcane (Jayvik Focused) with cannon events and dialogue occurring, in addition to context and the time between. The magic is explored a fair bit, but you don't have to understand the science for the rest of it. I made up a past and more connections for Viktor, and tidbits from Jayce's intercontinental travels.
