Summary
Life’s hard when you need to rely on Solas for anything. It only gets harder when you’re tossed through time into a pre-Mage Rebellion Kirkwall and all you wanted was to save the world.
Rook, fifteen. Solas, recently risen from uthenera.
They’re all each other has got and they’re both miserable about it.
Good luck getting that dagger back.
~or~
An accident at the end of the world thrusts Rook and Solas into the past. Twenty years younger, weaker, and the weight of Solas’ betrayal between them, they will need to rely on each other to survive Kirkwall in the hopes they might recover the Red Lyrium idol, cleanse it back into the Lyrium Dagger, and return home.

Summary
The Fifth Blight has ended. After leaving the Grey Wardens, Sereda thought her time topside was finally over. She would soon be named Paragon, more revered than even the King himself, but until then she is at her brother’s command. And that is how she ended up representing House Aeducan at a trade negotiation with the Merchants’ Guild. But bored by the endless arguments over treaties and tariffs, Sereda finds unlikely company to keep her amused.

Summary
“Through adversity to the stars.” A proud, prickly mage meets a proud, prickly mage-hating elf and, after a shaky start, they find they have more in common than they'd first realised. Together, they undertake a journey of acceptance, growth and understanding, but the road is long and strewn with pitfalls and obstacles. A possessed, troubled healer and whispers of insurrection and war in Kirkwall only add to their woes, but the deep love Hawke and Fenris develop for each other will withstand the sorest of trials.
Won't it?

Dances In Darkness by HigheverRains
Fandom Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age II, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening
28 Oct 2017
Summary
"When the songs are sung and the histories written of the Dragon Age, who will they exalt?" she said cryptically. "You? Me? I can hardly begin to guess."
It began with a knife in the dark, a pendant and a promise, and an explosion that shook the world. From the ashes of war come the heroes of the Dragon Age. Spanning all three games and some associated DLCs, Dances in Darkness is a chronological telling of the Dragon Age story following the lives of the Hero of Ferelden, the Champion of Kirkwall, and the Inquisitor as they struggle against all odds to save Thedas.
Some Alternate Universe for story, particularly as the tale progresses, because characters will be crossing paths. Warnings posted in the notes of each chapter.

Summary
This is the story of Kate Enasallen, living her teenage years in Kirkwall during the time of the Champion. She leaves Denerim as a stowaway after the Battle changes her life forever, and through a series of misadventures eventually ends up in Kirkwall and befriending (or not) the usual suspects. But this story is not about them or their shenanigans, it’s about a lost teenager trying to find her place in the world, while also having to survive Kirkwall.
I originally planned to write about Kate living during the time of the Inquisition, but as I figured out her backstory, I fell in love with her wild, younger self, and decided to forego the flashbacks and to give the cheeky, lost girl her own story. Her journey through the Inquisition would have been the second part of the series, but I'm having too much fun in Kirkwall and decided to write Kate's whole story as a series of many parts.
The Elven Urchin covers Act 1 of DA2. I am a huge fan of Dragon Age 2, so it really was inevitable that we’d end up here…

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
In this fanfic I try to tell you about the story of Emily- orphaned back in the old world, thrust into this new world. She has no notion of Dragon Age, nor will she ever.
She arrived in Thedas at the age of eighteen, shortly after being thrown out of the orphanage where she grew up in. Taken in by kind strangers, the elderly couple takes care of her, teaches her all she needs to know, eventually even learning the basics of sword fighting. When questioned about her strange accent, she always tells everyone the same; that she is from uncharted places.
She has always been a hardened girl, not easily trusting strangers and finds that whenever she does let people in- trouble follows. In this story, she learns who she is, what she wants and doesn't want in life, and stumbles through her years in Thedas as she goes. Questioning her own beliefs often and eventually opening up to the people who keep coming back into her life.
She doesn't want to be loved, be cared for, in fear of hurting the people closest to her. Being her friend is fine, however, no more than that. It becomes too real, too fast. There has always only been one person who she'd make an exception for, and he's now out of her reach.

Summary
"By the time Hawke noticed the pickpocket and yelled out, the kid was halfway across the street…with a heavy bolt pinning him to the wall. It had been lucky for him, really, because if he’d been moving just a bit slower, well that bolt probably would’ve put an end to his days of criminality and mischief in a more permanent way. As it was, he was shaken up but no worse for wear when Varric strode up to him, demanded his ill-gotten gains, and suavely tossed the purse back to Hawke. And from that moment on, Houses Hawke and Tethras were thick as thieves.
…or at least so went the story he told the Seeker."
A re-imagining of the events that led to Hawke and Varric meeting for the first time.

9:25 Dragon.
“Bianca grinned and walked up to the table and set down her sack. She opened it up and carefully drew out poor old Gerav’s Model Fourteen—but Model Fourteen like Varric had never seen her.”
In the course of investigating a counterfeiting ring in Kirkwall, Varric Tethras comes across a carta artificer’s nonfunctioning prototype for a repeating crossbow, and when he takes it to a local smith, the smith’s daughter, Bianca Davri, takes an interest—in the crossbow, in the investigation, and in Varric himself.

Summary
But they did, as children often do, become friends in spite of it all. And while the world outside their little library was hard and angry and wanted to eat them whole, they were unaware, knowing only that these summers were good summers, and it would be preferable to live in them forever, instead of growing up.
or: Varric, future king of the Marches, and Cassandra, future queen of Nevarra, spend every summer together until they reach the cusp of adulthood. And then, everything changes.
