A canon-compliant slow-burn that traces the years when the Lord of Gifts and Galadriel shared the same city, eventually leading their journey to the War of the Last Alliance, the Lord of the Rings timeline, and beyond.Bookmarked by iamstarstuff73

Summary
Lindiranae of Clan Lavellan had been primed for leadership since the day she became first apprentice, but an unexpected turn of fate sees her don the mantle of authority in a way she never expected. Not only must she guide the Inquisition to victory against Corypheus, but she must also learn to navigate a world that is a stark contrast to the one she knows, and master some of her worst fears in the process.
Cullen Rutherford left behind his life as a Templar, haunted by a bloody past fraught with tragedy and failure. The Inquisition offered a chance to find redemption, but not without cost. Yet despite his own private struggles, he finds a sense of belonging in his new role as Commander of the Inquisition forces.
Although the fate of Thedas hangs in the balance, something wholly unexpected blooms within the strife and conflict. Two stubborn, wilful individuals come together and inadvertently soothe one another's old wounds and open each others minds to their very different worlds, despite a shaky start and a lot of awkwardness.

Summary
Cullen Rutherford's worst enemy and greatest asset is his own mind. Addicted to lyrium and dangerously, stupidly in love with the Herald of Andraste, it has sometimes tortured him, but it has always gotten him through. Until now. Haven is on fire, a demigod is stalking them, the Inquisition's war is about to kick off, and all he has to keep himself sane is a beat up old journal.

Summary
Great figures arise from crucibles of cruel design. When the Blight forces long-disgraced Leandra Amell and her children to emigrate back to Kirkwall, her eldest paves their future with mayhem and reports of apostate behaviors amongst the mercenary circles. Someone that unhinged would crawl under Bartrand’s skin and was precisely the type of person Varric intended to use. Or, at least, that was the plan.

Summary
Modest in temper, bold in deed.
That was the motto of House Trevelyan. But as a mage in the Ostwick Circle, Evelyn Trevelyan would only ever be able to fulfill the first half. Boldness was not something the world wanted from a mage. Evelyn had long accepted this fact, even as she dreamed of freedom, if only a fraction of the freedom others enjoyed. When a mage destroyed a Chantry in Kirkwall, starting what would become the Templar-Mage War, Evelyn found herself thrust into a world that required boldness not only for survival, but for the savior it saw in the Herald of Andraste. Can an ex-templar teach her to trust herself and the boldness he sees hidden deep inside?

Summary
It is not difficult for Kotallo to think of Aloy, especially when she burns as brightly as the desert sun.
Yet he has never allowed himself to act on such thoughts, not when she is his commander and he is a Marshal.
So when she asks him for his assistance on a mission, he battles between his duty to fight and protect, and his desire to touch her.
Occurs post-game so will contain spoilers.

Summary
When Kotallo lost his arm, it was more than just a limb that he had lost. It was his prowess with a bow. It was his utility as a Marshal. His arm was gone, his life a ruin, and nothing would ever be the same.
It did not occur to him that this could be a good thing.
It did not occur to him that he could find new purpose in his life. It did not occur to him that an outlander with hair like blood and a spirit as fierce as blazefire would help him find that purpose.
With Aloy as his witness, Kotallo would find himself again, and nothing would ever be the same.
********************
In other words: a wish fulfillment fic where Aloy and Kotallo fall in love over the course of the game. Canon scenes and dialogue blended and padded out with introspection, cozy conversations, smut, and all the GAIA Gang bonding that we deserved. ❤Series

A Hold in decline. A Dalish Clan on the run. A marriage promised to further the desires of both.

Forever bonded by oath and soon enough, deed, the Dalish and Avvar each must reconcile their own cultures with the unbearable, unknowable need for the other that they felt in their chests.

Summary
And their eyes met, a clash of sky-soft blue and molten amber.
It was then that he knew.
He had to have her.
Thane Cullen has spent the last several years since his ascension to leadership doing nothing more than focusing on the success of Lion-Blood Hold. Some would call him too serious, in desperate need of a hobby, and even more in need of a woman. His assertions that he would find a bride in due time fell upon deaf ears.
What he didn't expect was to find her in a lowlander village, with hair the color of fire and poppy.
Roslin is the least likely woman to attract any kind of attention—she's a timid people-pleaser with a penchant for over-apologizing. Her father is more than content to keep her in the village where her only social interaction is with him and the children that fancy her baking. While living a sheltered life of necessity for survival, she still knows that she wants more.
What she didn't expect was that something more to be an Avvar Thane.

Summary
“I was a glorified prisoner of the state, Dorian. He – all of them – are drug-addled slaves to it. I’m sure they could have become different people, long ago, but the Chantry took that future from them the moment they were dosed with lyrium," Cora says with disgust.
“I could say the same of you, you know,” Dorian says. “Indeed I have done, of all southern mages. But we find ourselves here, now, bent toward the same end. I suppose we’ve all been given the chance to choose our better selves, haven’t we?”
“Yes,” Cora sighs. “I suppose we have.”

Summary
“I didn’t know where else to go.”
Nil has never been quick to anger. But with Aloy unconscious on his chest, and with the mounting realisation that the battle wounds on her body are not from a machine, anger begins to burn at his concern like a flame on cloth, and Nil greets it like an old friend.
When a severely injured Aloy arrives in the desert, Nil’s demons fight to win.
Or, “I didn’t know where else to go” meets “Who did this to you?” and other juicy tropes.
