Summary
**DISCLAIMER: This story is currently under edit. Chapters 1-6 are completed. The rest is still under construction.**
Ash was having the strangest dream. It was definitely lucid but, curiously, nothing appeared to be happening. She wasn't moving, just sort of...floating. Usually her dreams had some sort of point or psychological revelation to them, but in this one, the only thing she was aware of was a rather curious feeling of being weightless. Like the feeling you get for a brief moment when a roller-coaster does a steep drop, but this was lingering. She wasn’t complaining necessarily; it wasn’t a bad feeling. She simply wasn't convinced her subconscious was actually this dull. To experiment, she opened her dream-eyes slowly. She saw dim candle light bouncing off stone walls and a figure seated at a desk, nose in a book. As her gaze focused on the figure, it turned to look at her. She laughed suddenly in disbelief. She had to stop playing that game. It was in her dreams now."Solas?" she asked the figure incredulously.
Turns out, it wasn't a dream. -

Summary
Torrin Lavellan didn't want anything to do with the Breach. Her Keeper had sent her to spy on the shems, recognizing that the Dalish needed to at least keep tabs on the world around them. That hadn't been a problem--spying had been easy. The shems were content to ignore her. But she hadn't signed up for waking up handcuffed in a prison cell. She hadn't signed up for the Breach, for them to call her Herald of Andraste. Creators, all she wanted was to go home to her clan. And yet, she couldn't shake that she felt as if she should stay. Something was pulling her-- her destiny, maybe. All she knew for certain was that she had to fight. She couldn't become lost among these strange shems. She couldn't let their title bury her alive.

Summary
After her discharge from the Alliance, Commander Helen Trevelyan joined the Andromeda Initiative, wanting to leave her personal tragedies and a psycho ex-boyfriend behind her. She expected to sleep for 600 years, and wake up in a med bay. Instead, she crash-landed on a snow-covered mountain, ten-thousand years later. She is alone, confused, and dying from eezo radiation. And the only sign of civilization is an old church in the distance.
A Post-Modern Girl on Thedas fic.
Many, many thanks to my betas, Dreadlordcherrycake and Duinemerwen, who have advised me on all matters of lore, plausibility and verb tense. If it wasn't for them, this story would still be in cryo. Any mistakes are mine, not theirs.
I have a regular work schedule IRL, which means I don't have a regular update schedule on AO3. This story is visually supported.

Summary
Samarra Bayart is a researcher, albeit one with a small Dragon Age obsession. So when she finds herself in Thedas, she's convinced she's in a dream... till she realizes she's not.
Given the title of Oracle, she must carefully walk the line between using her knowledge of the game to guide the Inquisition, while protecting herself and her secrets.
Can she put what she knows to get the best ending for the ones she cares for? Or will she crash and burn in the wolf's jaws?

Summary
"Resurrection? A second chance at life? The direct and highly unfortunate result of an ancient blood ritual that should’ve stayed forgotten in the past? Call it whatever you want. But between the maleficarum, the dragons, and the strange spirits, it certainly isn’t luck."
A multi-chapter story with action, romance, blood magic fuckery, and one strange twist on the “Thrown into Thedas” trope.
