    Summary

    “Right,” the stranger said quietly, calmly, a friendly lilting cadence to his words. “I think you should tell Doug not to try and be a hero tonight. Tell him that if he likes you with all your fingers attached and if he likes not knowing what those fingers taste like, then he should probably stay where he is while you and I go downstairs to talk. Does that sound like a good idea to you?"

    Blackbeard learns about Stede’s death and where he went when he didn’t show up for their escape. He decides to pay Mary a visit.

    Summary

    Dain Cadash probably shouldn’t be a Warden. He definitely shouldn’t be the last line of defence against the Blight alongside Cassandra, the only other surviving Warden in Ferelden.

    He was saved from certain death by a Witch of the Wilds who seemed all too eager to offer her daughter, Bethany, up to the Warden cause. There’s a dog, an Antivan Chantry Brother, and a huge-horned Qunari who calls himself Bull. Together with a Necromantic Circle mage, a very broody ex-Crow, and a red-headed, freckled dwarf the unlikely crew set off to stop the Blight before it is too late.

    (An AU series where all the Companions and Heroes are mixed up to see what happens.)

    Summary

    “You’re awake. Strong, for a Lowlander.”

    “What can I say?” He said, “I’m too stubborn to die.”

    After Ostagar, after Carver, Garrett Hawke never expected to return to Ferelden - to the lowlands of his birth.

    The Avvar of the Basin took him in, offering him a new life. For ten years, Hawke lived among them, first a welcome guest and then part of the Clan. Lothering, and his family, faded, as he found a new home.

    Then the sky split open.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Finished chapter 40

    I am a sucker for any story that involves the Avvar or Chasind, and I was not disappointed! I love how Hawke will see omens in the world around him, good or bad.

    Cullen would like to try being with Hawke while Hawke is also seeing Tal-Vashoth Bull. All three are open and aware of each other. No animosity so far. Bull also beds others.

    Hawke has a son back at the Hold named Runi. His mother was Dagrun who died when the boy was four months old, three years into her and Hawke's marriage of seven years.

    Bethany lives! Fenris/Isabela while Fenris guards Bethany. Maybe he took Sebastian up on his offer to train the warriors of Starkhaven? Or train the elves?

    Hawke has brought down a dragon with Inky, Cass and Dorian. He plans to give the tooth to Bull as his commitment to him! Cass looked like she might cry for joy!

    Runi! Triad! Runi!

    Corypheus is defeated!

    The Inquisition is going to Stone-Bear Hold. Hawke was able to arrange guest-welcome with Thane Svarah hawke tooks forward to climbing walls and such against the clan's trainer. They are friendly bc the trainer's wife was originally from Hawke's clan.
    • Telana's spirit is freed. Ameridan is freed. Now, Hawke, Inky and co fight Hakkon Wintersbreath!

    Summary

    “Miss Cassandra,” the words were barely audible to her own ears. “My brother—Astarion—if I die, you must find him,” she pleaded with the woman swimming doubles in her vision. “If you cannot free him, swear to me you’ll kill him.”

    The Cassandras said something inaudible and nodded, hands on their swords.

    It would have to do.

    Facing forward, Thaya found the thread, pulled it taut, and the world fell back into a familiar darkness.

    Or

    Astarion's "sister" winds up in Thedas.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Finished chapter 14

    Thaya and Astarion are a matched set. She looks like a modern-day elf, all wispy and fragile because she was turned young. Her parents were druids. She has been a vampire spawn for 2 centuries. Her being away from Cazador means that Astarion is being punished.
    • Astarion seems like an elvhen to Solas who has only seen him via a Devotion spirit who is drawn to Thaya.

    Thaya knows nothing about Thedas. It took her weeks to realize that people could be staring at her because she is an elf. Cover story is that she is a Tevinter slave (and she keeps talking about wanting to go.back).

    Emotions are foreign to her bc Cazador usually keeps her mind firmly under his control, so she is used to having no say in what happens to her body and can dissociate into a mask.

    Varric has allowed her to drink from him. Solas has shared body heat with her at night and has seen her torture in her dreams. They are looking for Blackwall.

    Summary

    Yet another Dragon Age Isekai.

    Arden wakes up in a different world, determined to do something positive in what appears to be some kind of coma dream or hallucination. Maybe she'd help people dig wells, or plant crops or something until her synapses stop firing and she dies, or she wakes up.

    She instead finds a bald elf in bad shape about to get taken out by wolves. Some stabbing and yelling later, she decides this is her good deed: Getting this dumbass in better shape so he can do whatever the hell he seems so dead-set on doing.

    Whoops.

    Smut chapters labeled with ** because sometimes you don't have time to read the whole thing and I respect that. (* means just a lil smut, as a treat)

    BINGE-WORTHY!

    Absolutely worth it! It took me more than a month to finish reading this, and I would 100% do it again!

    Through the laughter, tears and love, the author gave life to their characters and gave them room to grow. I love it!
