Summary
“I’m actually supposed to be meeting a friend, but I’m not sure she’s coming. She was supposed to meet me by now.” She answered, sipping her wine.
“A shame, really.” He said, his voice flirtatious and suggestive. “Tell you what, my dear,” He began, digging himself into a hole he wasn’t sure he could dig himself out of. “If she doesn’t show by the time you’ve finished that drink, come find me.”
She hesitated, but smiled, holding her hand out to shake his. “Aelynn.”
Aelynn. Her name was a chorus in his head. He reached out to shake her hand.
“Astarion.” He took her hand as he spoke, giving it a slight shake.

Summary
And it was all Illyria’s fault; everything was her fault. She let Varric go talk Solas down. She’d decided to bring Harding with her to break the scaffolding. She’d made the decisions to disrupt a ritual that in retrospect, she knew next to nothing about. Her mind as she wandered the Lighthouse grounds earlier had wandered to her lessons with Emmrich; his teachings of care when working with magic one knew little about. Now she sat before her teammates delivering news that she’d created by being reckless. It was hard to ignore the pangs of guilt and shame she felt when she reflected on the events that led them here. All she could do now was everything she could to make it right.
~~~
Illyria "Rook" Ingellvar has many things in her life to regret. Being banished from the Necropolis, a haunted history with her own magic, and now? Releasing two blighted Elven Gods hell-bent on bringing the end of Thedas as we know it.
A dramatic retelling of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Summary
Neither of them intends to fall for the other. It’s foolish, downright hazardous – and absolutely unavoidable. In the beginning, their meetings are all cutting words, fiery dances, and lies upon lies. But as the masks between them start to fall, the loneliness they share grows into something more.
He refuses to acknowledge the danger their relationship puts them in until it’s too late. Until the flames come for him.
She knows well that their star-crossed affair will ultimately end in disaster, but she takes the risk anyway. She fights her feelings, defying them – to no avail.
Love, after all, cannot be controlled. It drives the heart to make impossible choices. To trespass into the enemy’s most sacred place. To put life and soul on the line in a last, desperate attempt at redemption.

Summary
In the brutal world of the Baldur's Games, 24 tributes are chosen to fight to the death, and only one will survive. Nisha, selected for the 79th Games, has fought to stay alive her entire life—but now she faces a challenge that may very well be her end. Her mentor, Astarion, a charismatic winner of the 69th games, trains her in a brutal strategy: win the audience's favor to secure sponsorship, but show no mercy in the arena. He urges Nisha to eliminate her rivals early, never trust anyone, and never hesitate to kill.
As the Games approach, Nisha struggles with past and present feelings for Astarion, but he seems to have forgotten her. In a world where survival means sacrificing humanity, Nisha must decide if she really can do whatever it takes to survive. Will she outlast the bloodshed, or will the Games consume her—and everything she once was? The clock is ticking, and only one will emerge alive.

Summary
“Miss Nomani, was it?” he asked, peering at her down the length of his nose. “Neve Nomani?”
He knew her name? “I—yes, sir,” Neve stammered. “I mean—yes, my lord.”
His lip curled upward again at her obvious nerves. “And do you know who I am, Miss Nomani?”
Should she know him? Did he have the same feeling when he looked at her?
She was beginning to feel rather ill caught in that slitted gaze of his. Half of her was desperate to be out of the room, and yet the other half was transfixed. Not by his beauty—not only by his beauty—but with an inexplicable kind of sinking feeling. It went beyond simple fear; there was a sadness to it, as well. Like the sight of him was wrong, somehow. The longer she stared at him, the more it felt like someone had reached inside her chest to squeeze her heart in an icy grip.
And she couldn’t look away.
__Summoned to make a delivery to the Crimson Palace by a mysterious note, a Neve who never left Baldur’s Gate finds herself haunted in the aftermath of her meeting with the inexplicably familiar Lord Ancunín.
A Mercurial World AU.

Summary
Rook dies stopping Solas’ ritual.
Fortunately, Inquisitor Lavellan has never been one to leave the most dangerous work to others—especially when it comes to putting false gods in their place and repairing what her former lover has broken for a second time.
This is an AU retelling of Veilguard, in which Ellana Lavellan takes Rook’s place. She steps back into the center of the storm to assemble the Veilguard, manage the remnants of the Inquisition, and hold together a world unraveling under the return of the Evanuris. Using her lingering connection to Solas, she works to unite fractured factions against ancient gods—caught between love that never truly faded and the knowledge that Solas can never again be trusted completely.
Meanwhile, Solas finds himself trapped, stripped of control, and forced into an uneasy intimacy with the woman he once left behind. Through fractured dreamscapes and half-remembered truths, he begins to show Ellana things he could never have given her a decade ago—until an unseen enemy starts to claw its way into his prison, seeking vengeance for ancient wrongs and threatening to twist even the Fade itself.
