Summary
**MAJOR SPOILERS WITHIN** **SERIOUSLY FINISH THE GAME BEFORE YOU READ**
An adversary becomes a friend and a bulwark against a horror unleashed from across the sea. With not just Thedas but the entire world and the fate of all realms hanging in the balance, a desperate gambit is made. The last, best hope for reality itself is an attempt to gain more time to prepare by sending Rook back in time.
But the plan, as usual, goes a little sideways. Good thing Rook's figured out how to think outside of straight lines.

Summary
It’s the small things.
She would have had his admiration regardless, of course. The way she laughs; a bright burst of light illuminating their dark days. Determination and an iron will to not just survive, but to thrive. The board is stacked against them, but Ellery Courin never flinches. Her voice, her quick rapier; all of it carries them inexorably forward, despite complaints and moments of weakness and flat-out exhaustion. Ellery carries them through. Sometimes it is gentle, sometimes she cajoles and pokes and prods, and one memorable time wrestled Lae’zel into submission when the Githyanki got a little too mouthy.
Little wonder they’re all half in love with her.

Summary
The battle for Meridian may be over, but the war is still out there whether the Nexus leadership wants to believe it is or not. Sara Ryder prepares for the future not just as Pathfinder but a leader in her own right, determined not to let her people relive mistakes of the past, or to let her own mistakes ruin their chances for a future. Forging a new and stronger alliance with the Angaran people will take time and patience, but now that she and the Resistance leader Evfra de Tershaav finally see eye to eye, it may be easier...
...or far more complicated than she'd imagined.

An alternate start to the Rook/Emmrich romance, to be released in short chapters. While I've altered the world state slightly and expanded on non-existent lore, I did aim to be lore-accurate. Corrections and feedback welcomed!Bookmarked by CollectorOfWonder

Summary
Rook wasn’t supposed to be here. No, really—she wasn’t supposed to be here. The Inquisition wasn’t supposed to even be on her radar—the Rook that existed then wasn’t even called Rook, and still was learning how to cast spells.
And yet, Solas is looking at her. Not the Solas she knows, either.
or
Rook time travels. It makes things objectively worse.

Summary
This fic is essentially scenes that take place in-between the cutscenes in the game and will be heavily inspired by the fact that I blew through all of the early Lucanis content too fast, intent on romancing him, only to almost fall prey to Davrin's charm in the Lucanis romance drought in the middle of the game. (Don't worry, Davrin is already being properly wooed in my second playthrough.) There will be heavy spoilers for the entirety of the game throughout, so I recommend not reading until you've gotten through the endgame.
My Rook is an elven woman from the Shadow Dragons. The first chapter takes place just after the coffee date and goes on from there.

Summary
“They speak the truth,” the first Lich boomed. “The girl has no heartbeat. Yet she is not completely dead. Her veins still run.”
“No heartbeat to drive the blood, yet they run still?” Another asked.
“It is not blood they run with,” the first answered back. “It is pure magic. The concentrated essence of the Fade itself runs through her. It is presumably the only reason she still moves.”A what-if based on the Mourn Watch origin for Rook, where I decided the game would be much more interesting if Rook were more than just a person who stepped up lol
