    Summary

    Under the moonlight, in a narrow alley of Gangseo District, a silver blade was piercing through Han Yoohun's abdomen. Cast away years ago, Yoojin could only watch as the bloody, stumbling body of his brother was carried by someone else.

    It's all to protect Yoohyun, Han Yoojin reasoned, staring into golden eyes as he stood uninvited in the office of the richest man in Korea.

    Summary

    I spent my first year here in Thedas, in a world I know from video games I first played during the pandemic lockdown, trying to get back home. Well, okay, no. I spent the largest part of the first year alternately sobbing and staring into space in a Chantry hospice, having a fun little emotional and mental breakdown as all of the laws of reality as I know them were broken.

    I spent the second year trying to get back. I searched out people I thought could help, but I couldn’t even get to Kirkwall. There’s only so many odd jobs you can do for money, and that money does not get you far in a post-Blight Ferelden. I managed to get enough coin and favor to barter for a message to be carried into Orlais. It would result in either my murder for being a threat or hopefully the formation of a powerful acquaintance, but as no reply ever came, I lost hope.

    I have spent the last two years resigned. I am not a Chosen One. I am an accident of fate or chance, and neither matters much when I’m gaunt from hunger and living in a drafty shack in one of the coldest places I’ve ever been to.

    Summary

    Lucanis had never been so amused watching someone eat. She paused as she considered every bite, sometimes halving it, like she worried about taking too much though none of her bites could be considered anything but diminutive. She chewed thoroughly, vigorously, always with her fingers pressed to her lips to shield herself. She savored, letting out quiet little sounds of appreciation.

    “Is that thyme?” she asked suddenly.

    “It is.” He was surprised she could detect it. He had used the barest sprinkling, just enough to tame the bitterness of the onions.

    A stirring in the back of his skull, movement from a phantom that had held himself so strangely patient that the absence of him was more jarring than his presence. Cook for her more.

    A spark ignited in his chest, a need.

    --

    Or sometimes a family is a Hunger demon suffering from a long bout of humanity, her Dalish daughter, a demonicly possessed assassin, and the kooky aunts and uncles they've amassed along the way.

    Summary

    Over the past ten years, Sene Lavellan has tried desperately to move on from Solas. First, with Abelas, an ancient elf with a fierce but gentle soul, and then with Ameridan, one of the wisest, most intriguing men she's ever known. But it's never enough. She finds herself forever yanked under the surface, in dreams. Like a riptide, Solas is always there. And when his ritual fails, and the shit hits the fan, she will do whatever she must to protect him and to pursue her place by his side. Though he toils without her, wrestling giants of the past and fighting stark psychological battles all his own, he will soon come to realize that he must make a choice.

    This is a canon rewrite with many major alterations, twists, and turns. It begins in the time period that Solas leaves Skyhold and extends through the canon era of Veilguard.

    A woman falls from the sky just when she’s needed, what could it be but the work of the Maker? Why else should she speak in tongues but for being struck dumb by His grace?
    She would disagree if anyone asked her. Could ask her. But by the time she has the words it’s too late, and June is heralded the Herald of Andraste. Burdened with knowledge and an entire system of faith carried on her shoulders that she holds no stock in, an earthling muddles her way through Thedas.

    Summary

    "The sickening sensation of magic that should never had existed filled her and Kai tried to hold on. The world around her was unmade. With a crack and an impact of changing pressure, she fell backwards out of a rift in time into a snow drift. A second, far greater crack echoed around her. After a disorienting moment, she shook the snow out of her hair and recognized her surroundings; the Frostback mountains above the valley of Haven, 9:41 Dragon. Overhead, a pillar of sickly green light shot into the sky. "

    They failed. The Veil fell and Old Gods stalked the world. Driven to the brink, Kai Lavellan tries one last desperate ploy; go back in time and stop Fen'Harel before he could destroy the world. The Inquisition would march, she would march with them.

    Summary

    ‘…Of all the rivalries in the world of sports over the years, perhaps none has become so legendary as that of Russian figure skater Viktor Nikiforov and his rival, Japanese Yuuri Katsuki…’

    A single event changes the course of Yuuri’s life, throwing him into a bitter rivalry with Viktor Nikiforov that spans across his entire skating career. But as the years go on, rivalry and hatred begin to develop into something very different and Yuuri doesn’t seem to be able to stay away, no matter how hard he tries.

    Hatred and love are two sides of the same coin and even though everything changes, some things are still meant to be.

    “How could I refute the wisdom of the Dread Wolf?” she sneered. “You’ve survived, seen it all, and I am but an inconsequent rat to your greater scheme.”

    “A rat can go places wolves and dragons cannot. So can spiteful seeds.” His lips set in thoughtful poise before mirroring her frown, “I am less interested in a title for this tale than the story and the roles of the characters—they call me the Dread Wolf, what will they call you when this is over?”

    ~
    or:
    The Inquisition sends a nobody-elf back in time to stop the Dread Wolf. Steal his orb, prevent the Breach, and snatch anything else of significance along the way. But this is Thedas, where everything goes wrong.

    Coiling Time aka. the Thedosian Pottery fic

    "Just that feeling when you’re about to go but then you’ve forgotten this particular data strand and the continuity just barely lets you pass through deflux... You know, like every molecule in your body is screaming in frustration at you over being reassembled just a little off. Oh fuck,” a wave of nausea and pain passes through me, and I accept a hot metal cup of liquid with shaking hands and a grateful sigh. “Thank you. I really must have miscalced some… something, something bad this time. Was it a timecode thing? Two days, you said?”

    The man hums, as if in agreement.

    “Well, there goes my plan to document hand-building techniques and drip glazes for a few months in the nineteen-seventies... Oh, this tastes nice and herb-y. Is that mint? And... Fennel seed?”

    “Elfroot, mostly,” the man says, and I nod, leaning back.
     

    Following what appears to be a mishap with her calendarium, time travelling 22nd century researcher Malika finds herself in Thedas during the Inquisition. Staying undercover proves hard however, despite your training, when you've caught the interest of a certain stoic elven mage... Also, pottery? Complete!

    Varric had seen a lot of crazy shit in his life, living in Kirkwall it was expected to see crazy shit, especially being friends with Hawke. He had met his share of intimidating elves who had certain very distinct looks and who made very blooded entrances into his life. But this one, this elf took all the awards of strange people he had met, not only because his hand was crackling green like the sky.

    Isala Lavellan is not just a regular Dalish rogue. In fact he is not very Dalish at all, he is a proud Fog Warrior from Seheron taught to fight for his freedom. As a favor for the keeper of clan Lavellan he is being hurled into a world of chaos after the explosion at the conclave

    How well will a fog warrior handle no longer working hidden in the fogs of Seheron's Jungles, working with a Qunari spy? Short answer, not at all, but Bull is rather good at talking his way into people's comfort zones... or their pants.
    Also, why does Isala smell like a dragon?

    Summary

    Lyra is an elf from a different world entirely, where magic is an accepted part of the world and spirits co-exist peacefully (for the most part). So when a rift appears one day and pulls her through - landing her in Thedas, Lyra has no choice but to roll with the punches and make the most out of a confusing situation. Armed with the knowledge of both the past and coming future, Lyra must try her best to help the Inquisition and her new friends while also closely guarding her own secrets.

    Which is easier said then done when a certain elven apostate catches her eye.

    Will Lyra be the hunter or the hunted?
