Summary
A drink from the Well, a lie stringently kept, a flash of magic and time.
Inquisitor Lavellen weathered the war against Corypheus with strength and wits. When the dust was settled, the war was won, the orb destroyed, and a lover vanished. But in the end what did it leave her? A broken heart, the thoughts of a god in her mind, and the growing swell of her belly. Lies were the only thing left to protect them both, Fen'Harel's great gift.
Two years later, she's dying. The anchor eating away at her arm as she tries desperately to cling to a life with their daughter. He claims the anchor and disappears through the Eluvian before his daughter can come through from the one her mother entered. As a stray Qunari comes to strike at Lavellen, her daughter desperately tries to reverse the damage, only to fling herself back in time.
A foundling in the crypts, a mysterious dreamer, a god to stop.
Eight years later, a grown daughter joins with the remnants of the Inquisition to put a stop to Fen'Harel, not entirely knowing he's her father. Nicknamed Rook, the girl picks up the newest war, barreling towards the reckoning of her family as the Veil begins to crumble.

Summary
These days, she was the only thing in recent history that made any sense to him after the absolute madness he’d witnessed. These days, he found himself humbled and maybe a little selfish. She was the Inquisitor. There were plenty of other suitors, younger suitors, less problematic suitors, and she chose Varric every time, over and over. He’d learned to stop questioning it, at least. It only took a few threats and a well-aimed bolt of electricity at his bare asscheek on the way out of bed one morning in order to get him to stop asking her ‘why me?’ when she told him she loved him.
Varric found he much preferred whispering a quiet ‘thank you’ to Andraste into silver hair while Aurelia slept beside him.
The (unembellished) tale of Aurelia & Varric.

Summary
Shaken by the events at Adamant Fortress, a forgotten boy hangs on the balance between monster and wretch, and fears being either one. Though they don't yet understand them, two different Inquisitors seek to help Cole put the demons in his past behind him, lest he once more become one himself. But the Inquisitors are not perfect either; sometimes there don't seem to be enough options to speak for a single conversation, much less for deciding the fate of one of your companions, and a choice once made can't be taken back.
...Unless you want to try again on a different run.
A rewrite of the quest "Subjected to His Will," which alternates between the choices made by an Inquisitor Adaar and, in another "playthrough", an Inquisitor Lavellan.

Summary
The inquisition is disbanded, Thedas continues its game of politics, murder, and power, but who remembers the inquisitor? Once the herald of Andraste, defeater of Corypheus, now just a woman, a mage, a knife ear. Only a few people who cared and loved the woman they met and watch repair the scar in the sky stood by her side. For Vianna Lavellan, time became her biggest enemy, bearing nothing but pain, memories, questions with no answers, all because of Solas, and when someone thirsts for knowledge and answers, nothing stops them. A carefully laid plan was made, with the hopes the elf could help her friend in Tevinter, but it meant someone had to play bate, and she was willing to take the role. Her risks were great, precautions and reconsiderations were thrown at her but she didn't listen because deep down it was her way out, a way to make time stop and make the pain go away. The plan: Go undercover, become a part of an elven slave group, get into Tevinter, contact Dorian, but that never happened. A surprise qunari attack just so happened to target her group, taking the elves for themselves and leaving without a trace. Her closest companions were now lost in the dark, and did everything they could to find their friend.
