Summary
As the daughter of a teyrn, Rhianna Cousland is no stranger to duty. But as she leaves childhood behind, she fears her duty - to family, king, and country - may come into conflict with the desires of her heart, and her friendship with Loghain Mac Tir.
See the "Extras" post for the timeline and calendar for this story (not a chapter here, but attached to the "series").
A NOTE ABOUT RATING AND WARNINGS (possible minor spoilers ahead). Rated M for eventual: violence, mentions of violence against animals, complications with pregnancy, and both consensual and non-consensual sexual situations. Trigger warnings will be included at the beginning of any chapter which has content I feel might be upsetting. If there is something I haven't warned against, but should, please let me know.

Summary
Rhianna Cousland's duty weighed heavily in the year before she turned eighteen, when she was promised to a king, rather than the man she loved. Now, as she comes of age, a blight threatens to destroy her beloved homeland, and her life is about to take a turn she could never have expected. The sequel to "Unshaken by the Darkness, Book One: The Teyrn's Lovely Daughter" (so you might want to read that one first). Follows and expands upon game events, although it will deviate from canon in some ways. All origin stories will appear. Trigger warnings will be included at the beginning of chapters where they apply. Updated once a week.

Summary
This work is for drabbles and short stories and writing prompt fills that are part of the "Unshaken by the Darkness" canon, but don't fit in the timeline of the actual story. I will not post anything here that would be a spoiler for an unpublished/future chapter of "Unshaken," but there may be spoilers for things that have already happened in the story.

Summary
Here are some supplemental materials that go along with my Dragon Age story, "Unshaken by the Darkness."
Current extras include: Thedas Calendar and Unshaken Timeline (both for keeping all the dates straight), a map of Ferelden, artwork of Rhianna, drawn by myself and various other artists, as well as images I've made at the Azalea's DollDivine doll creator site.
New things to be added regularly. I suggest going through this work "chapter by chapter," if you have not yet read all the currently published chapters of "Unshaken." There are illustrations and artwork in some chapters here that are spoilers for things in the story. However, any chapter that contains spoilers is clearly labeled as such. So, if you navigate chapter by chapter, you can just look at the artwork for the chapters you've read, and move to the next chapter without worrying about seeing things you might not want to see.
There are also separate works for character face claims, and for artwork that is not safe for viewing at work (NSFW Extras).

Unshaken by the Darkness - NSFW Extras! by HereBeDragons

Summary
I thought it would be worthwhile making a separate work for artwork of Rhianna and Loghain that is explicit in nature (separate from the "general audience" rated Extras).

Face Claims for Unshaken by the Darkness by HereBeDragons

Summary
This is a collection of photographic face claims for my Dragon Age story, "Unshaken by the Darkness." More will be added as the story progresses. Note: these are not necessarily the actors I would cast to play these characters in a movie (although in some cases, yes, I would). Really, though, these actors are the way I envision the characters' physical appearance in my mind.

Summary
Celia Mac Tir comforts seven-year-old Anora, when Anora becomes upset over something that at first seems to be very insignificant. This is a one-shot that fits into the canon of "Unshaken by the Darkness."

Tidings of Satinalia Joy by HereBeDragons

Summary
In the tradition of “A Christmas Carol” and “It’s a Wonderful Life,” this is a "what if" story that gives a glimpse into an alternate future, if just one thing in Rhianna’s life had been different. It accompanies “Unshaken by the Darkness,” but should stand alone even for those who have not read that story.
PLEASE heed the content warnings and tags. This story contains the deaths of several major characters. Bad things happen. Really, really bad things. This is by far the most difficult, painful thing I've ever written. But I hope that, ultimately, it will prove to be uplifting. It also contains very mild spoilers for Unshaken.
Many thanks to my wonderful beta, Amanda Kitswell.

Summary
Eleanor Cousland takes young Anora Mac Tir under her wing, and over the years, the two women develop a warm friendship. This work takes place in the timeline of Unshaken by the Darkness, but stands entirely alone. No familiarity with my other story is needed to enjoy this work.
