Summary
In the core of her self she comes to a vast chasm of purpose, dark and devoid, and recognizes it as that which she felt closing on the tailwind of Mythal's flight.
Her spirit teeters the edge over that smallest sliver of what remains, feeling no fear for the plummet—only a lust and wonder for that which is undiscovered, unmapped, unknown.
--
An exploration of Ghilan'nain's descent from "the most sensitive of us" to what she eventually becomes, spanning the earliest days of her birth to her escape from the Black City. -

Summary
Thea looked up the stream where the clan’s camp flickered with firelight, like the Plains’ own distant star. She squeezed Tal’s hand, perhaps unconsciously, and her soft voice warbled with emotion. “I wear the enemy’s colors. I don’t think they distrust me because of forgotten wisdom.”
---
The Inquisition comes upon a Dalish clan in the Exalted Plains, and the Inquisitor receives a colder welcome than she was expecting. Thea Lavellan is unwittingly torn between two worlds, now finding herself an outsider amongst her own people. In the midst of her melancholy, an Inquisition scout lends a story—and a promise—that helps light Thea's path.

Summary
“We will save our friend from himself, if we can.”
Inquisitor Morinne Lavellan must steel herself to confront the man who left her, took her arm, and threatens to end the world they know. Those that still believe in her are convinced she’s the only one who might be able to convince him to stop - but what if the Inquisitor’s allegiances aren’t quite as strong as they used to be?
Eager to restore his People, Solas leads an army of elves that grows stronger every day. But when it comes time to directly confront those he once called friends, some of his agents begin to question if he truly has the stomach to see this grim duty through to the end.
Then an unlikely Grey Warden enters the game after witnessing Solas’ machinations firsthand, drawing the attention of Viscount Tethras. It earns Rook the job of a lifetime: put down the Dread Wolf once and for all… no matter who gets in her way.
Eventually they must learn that sometimes, terrible choices are all that remain.

Summary
A knowing bent curves Felassan's smile, as if to him the answer had always been apparent, and it is only in acknowledgement he can derive satisfaction. “You take your time, lethallen, but you always come to the right answer eventually.”
Solas's world does not change when he first meets Ian, an otherwise unremarkable recruit the Herald finds in Redcliffe's Chantry. Neither does Ian's change when he meets Solas, who regards him with the suspicion he has come to expect from other elves. Yet at this intersection of identity, they find a crossroads; a place to grow together.
A retelling of Dragon Age: Inquisition from the perspective of Solas, the deceptively simple Fade expert, and Ian, a veteran of the Fifth Blight, returned to Ferelden after ten years abroad.
Co-written by theharellan & theshirallen. Updates sporadic until we get a backlog.

Summary
“What would you demand?” She says, sweeping the thought from his mind. “If you were a god.”
If, he thinks, that one word louder than all the rest.
“I suppose it would depend what was being asked of me.”
“Your favor,” she tells him. “Your love.”
“Ah.” There’s a twist in his chest, like an arrow wrenched free, pain and relief all at once. “The heart of a god is not easily won. I would require yours in return.”
She laughs a little, as if he’s jesting. “That hardly seems equal. A mortal heart for a god’s?”
“Your heart,” Solas says, in a gentle correction. “For mine.”
