Summary
An epic re-imagining of Thedas if Lavellan had been born in the time of ancient Elvhenan. And met a younger Solas.
———
Syrana Lavellan was born to nothing—a mere slave among hundreds of thousands, subject to the whims and cruelties of their elven overlords: the Evanuris. For hundreds of years, she knew only suffering. But even amidst such misery there were moments of happiness, of love, of kinship. A kind of richness all its own.Time, unfortunately, had a way of eroding everything, even the strongest foundation. One by one, the pillars of her life crumbled—her parents, her siblings, even her closest friends—all casualties of the Evanuris' endless power struggles and insatiable greed.
And so, in the quiet of her grief, Syrana vowed vengeance, to bring down the very rulers who had stolen everything from her. Over the years she clawed her way from the depths of slavery to the halls of power.
Her meticulously laid plans, however, did not anticipate the arrival of the enigmatic, wolfish man at Mythal’s side, whose piercing gaze and unsettling presence threatened to unravel everything she had fought for. A man as prideful as she was prejudiced.

Summary
A story about a Prince so desperate for love, it turns to hate, and the Jedi who shows him what it means to love once more.
———
He hated her. More than he had ever hated anyone in his entire life, besides his father.Who was this stranger, this outsider, who thought she could waltz into his life and take Thexan's place? Who formed a Force bond with him, a bond that seemed to mock the sacred connection he once shared with his brother?
And his father, Emperor Valkorion—how swiftly he had extended his hand to her, a courtesy that Arcann had walked through fire for, had sacrificed his own flesh and blood for. What had she possibly done to earn such favor?
As he entered the bay, the sight of the Outlander, suspended in carbonite, did nothing to cool the heat of his anger. Instead, it stoked it. The sight of her peaceful, frozen visage mocking him in its tranquility; untouchable in her icy fortress. And in that moment he felt like that scorned child from the ancient proverb, willing to burn the world down just to feel its warmth.

Summary
Elizabeth Colvin is no stranger to the cruelty of the world. At the age of ten, her parents were murdered, and she was sent to an abusive foster family, from whom she managed to escape at fifteen. Resorting to stealing to survive, she figured everything was over when she was caught by Lieutenant Morris, but he gave her a chance at a new life, one she eagerly took.
Now an adult, and an investigative reporter, she plans to use this opportunity to make a difference and help those in need, exposing the corrupt underbelly of New York City. While chasing a story, Elizabeth stumbles upon a scene she shouldn't have, and is pulled into the heart of New York's corruption: the mafia. Armed with her intellect, wit, and a concealed gun, she is prepared to get her story, and escape with her life.
The only thing she's not prepared for are the two men who pull on her heartstrings, one belonging to a world of glamour and wealth, and another, to a world of blood and secrets.

Summary
A story of two souls, haunted by their pasts and malevolent forces that seek to control them, who find themselves on a long path towards redemption and love.
***
In that moment, as the merchant's life ebbed and the ritual reached its zenith, Tav stood on the precipice of her own soul, gazing into the darkness that was both her birthright and her burden. The anger and the power were hers to wield, but so too was the quiet, insistent question of who she might have been in a world without Bhaal's shadow.
***
Author's Note: Basically I'm writing this because I fell in love with the story between Astarion and the Dark Urge and wanted a fanfiction that would dig into more about 1) their origins, 2) them fighting their growing attraction for one another, 3) them battling their nature or engrained habits that might stop them from becoming better people, and 4) the stories that we could see as sequels to BG3. -

Summary
Hermione Granger had been asked—and agreed—to do many absurd things since learning she was a witch, usually involving Harry Potter. This long list included, in no particular order, smuggling baby dragons, being placed unconscious at the bottom of a lake surrounded by merpeople, and traveling back in time to fly an escaped convict to safety on the back of a mythical creature. But returning to a Death Eater-controlled Hogwarts pretending to be Daphne Greengrass may have been the most ridiculous yet.
