    Summary

    Thedas is at war. The Conclave is destroyed. Divine Justinia is dead, and with her, the world’s last hope for peace. Until out of the ashes stumbles a lone survivor…

    “The two of us are the only people who don’t believe this whole ‘Herald of Andraste’ bullshit.’
    Cassandra said nothing. Varric rounded on her, horrified.
    “You’re kidding! Seeker, tell me you don’t—”
    “What better explanation do you have, Varric?” she replied, voice sharp and defensive.
    “Anything! Any explanation is better! I am not anyone’s saviour. This mark is just...just some shiny shit from the Fade.”

    He’s not the hero they expected. He’s definitely not the hero they wanted. But Varric Tethras, Herald of Andraste, might just be the hero they’re all stuck with.

    Oh well. At least it’ll make for a good story.

    Summary

    “What we haven’t been able to figure out is why. Why you, why now? He hasn’t made any ransom demands. Do you have any idea why he did this? What he wants?”
    “I know exactly what he wants. He wants to marry me.”

    Cassandra Pentaghast makes a poor damsel in distress. Varric Tethras is no knight in shining armour. But when the Seeker finds herself facing a fate worse than death in Tevinter, and Varric is the only one from the Inquisition who can help, they’ll have to find a way to work together if either of them want to see the light of day again. Even if the plan they come up with is a little...unconventional. Maybe fairytales can come true, if you give them a bit of a helping hand…

    Featuring! A lot of disguises, Varric Die-Hard-ing it through a vent, dramatic dinner parties, general plotting and scheming, a cameo from everyone's second favourite Magister, and a truly astonishing number of fancy gowns.

    Summary

    This was the worst part: the loaded silence; the mutual embarrassment; the temptation to break their fragile rules... to count to two. The part where they angled their bodies away from each other and their brains did the complicated work of rationalizing what just happened as "practice", for the sake of their cover. That it all amounted to just one kiss. Their subconsciouses had somehow come together in a conspiracy against their rational minds and seemed hell bent on changing the very definition of the word.

     

    Loid and Yor have horny brain and can’t do their jobs properly.

    Summary

    Baatar Jr. spent the entirety of his childhood bathing in the shadows of trepidatious insignificance. He wasn't anything more than a member of a political family whose smiles live on eternally in the remnants of photographs. His only real achievement was a likeness to a father whose shadow he lived in. But as the sun rose, he caught glimpse of something brighter than bureaucratic expectation.

    -

    In this fanfiction, Kuvira doesn't betray Baatar Jr., and the consequences of that decision unfurl. This will include a series of flashback oneshots interlaced within the broader scope of a rewriting of the end of Season 4 in Legend of Korra.

    Summary

    Varric stared, for once in his life totally lost for words. The person on the floor was familiar, because the person on the floor was him.

    When the Herald of Andraste and Dorian Pavus escape from the warped and broken future they glimpse in Redcliffe castle, they do not return to their own time alone.

    For the fledgeling Inquisition, and for the old Carta matriarch that has been roped into leading them by the mysterious mark on her hand, the survivors from the ruined world will force them to come face-to-face with the consequences of failing in their mission.

    For Cassandra and Varric, confronted with future counterparts they could never have imagined, everything they thought they knew about themselves – and each other – will be thrown in question.
