Summary
Ixchel Lavellan's battle to find hope for herself, and hope for Thedas, never ends. But she has learned to trust the companions who walk at her side.

“Despite the secrets,” she said. “Despite the blood… Despite the doubt… Despite the weight of everything…”
“It does not have to be ‘despite,’” Solas replied. “You walk your paths with open eyes, and you have shown love and care for the world not ‘despite’ the darkness you see in it, but including it. Would you be so surprised to inspire the same in others?”
Ixchel felt her eyes burn despite the widening smile on her face.
“Though the path forward is unknown—to you, and to me… I find myself with more hope for the future than I have felt in a long, long time, Ixchel. So yes,” he whispered against her lips. “I am happy.”

Summary
“But he wasn’t.” Thellessan shook his head. “He wasn’t just a darkspawn. He wasn’t just a ghoul. He was the ghoul that used to be Tamlen. He was the ghoul that used to be my friend.”
______
The Hero of Fereldan’s path in life was one lined with grief. From the tragic deaths of Mahariel’s parents, to the mirror that shattered his future and ruined Tamlen. The corruption tainted more than his health. Tamlen was presumed dead, but Thellessan would discover that he came across a more brutal fate instead.
Forced to kill his childhood friend, his brother, he decided to give him a proper funeral, even as the Blight forbade him from truly mourning The mirror destroyed so much more than Thellessan ever thought.Series

Summary
It's common knowledge Dalish clans never have more than three mages - the Keeper, a First and a Second...and clan Sabrae already has all of those. Isera Mahariel comes into her magic at a young age and, fearing being kicked out of the clan, keeps her magic hidden...until Merrill, the First of the clan, accidentally discovers her secret and innocently offers to help teach her. Little does she know, that Isera is no ordinary mage, but is a rare Dreamer, and it will be more difficult than she realizes to protect her from the dangers of the Fade - or as the elves call it, the Beyond.
AKA: What if the Dalish Warden was born a mage?
An exploration of what a Dalish Mage Origin could have looked like with the new elvish lore that we know from DA:II and Inquisition. (Alternate Origin story, pre-Fifth Blight)

Summary
For Merrill, the grief carves a familiar hole in her gut; she didn’t know the other alienage “Keepers” very well, having only coordinated with them for the Conclave, trying to petition for the same exemptions from Templar interference that Dalish clans are allowed. She grieves for the lost potential, for the communities losing their guides, for the families losing each other.
She grieves, and she wants nothing more than for Isabela to be here, carding ringed fingers through her hair and telling her what she has to say to go home to her.
or;
Merrill has always walked the line between respected and feared, loved and lonely. To be a heretical chosen one is almost fitting.[ 1/5/23 NOT ABANDONED I JUST SUCK ]

Summary
Female Warden Aria Mahariel and Zevran escort the third party of their polyamorous trio Merrill to visit the site where Tamlen was laid to rest in the Frostback Mountains where that fated ambush happened years prior. Events take place after the events of 2. I suck at titles. My bestie surprised me with a Christmas gift of Aria on a blanket, and I had to write a piece to go with it.
