Hear The Dragon's Song
You've read Liam Mairi's story. You know how it goes. How it ends. But what if there was more to his tale? And what if it included someone already in his story the entire time? She has her own history, her own shameful past, her own secrets. But what if she's destined to change the course of not only his life, but the fate of everyone else on The Continent? And Liam? He cannot tell a soul about her. Not even Xaden Riorson. We follow Liam through his own story whilst keeping a secret that may very well get him killed, alongside every other marked one in Basgaith before Threshing. Trigger warnings: Violence, descriptions of injuries, hints at SA, physical and mental abuse, torture, sexual activities, graphic language and death. If you are sensitive to any of these topics, please consider them before reading on. Author's Note: This story is inspired by the incredible Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. If you have not read Fourth Wing yet, please go read it first, as a lot of context will not make sense if you're not familiar. I am so incredibly proud of this story, I've had this idea since last year and have spent months planning and now writing this version of Liam's life. I do plan to post chapters weekly, but life sometimes gets in the way! (Also if you see any little mistakes A: No you don't and B: I have raging ADD so sometimes editing gets rather boring.) All rights, characters and original story reserved to Rebecca Yarros & Piatkus Publishing.

Which they must do now, before Ferelden falls to the darkness. Let's see what a mage, templar, Princess, nobleman, thief, Dalish elf and casteless dwarf can do against a tainted old god. But along the way they may discover secrets about their bloodlines that they would never have dreamed of, and what happens when those secrets mean things go spiralling out of control?Complete

When The Fade Burns | A Dragon Age Fanfic | English Version
A new era begins in Thedas... Ten years have passed since the Breach was sealed. The Veil still trembles. And Fen'Harel-known to some as Solas, the Dread Wolf-has not abandoned his mission to tear it down completely... even if it destroys him in the process. Haunted by a love he cannot keep and a world he cannot save, Solas walks a path of sacrifice. But the echoes of his past have not forgotten him. Recruited by Varric, Rook, a powerful spirit mage and deadly member of the Antivan Crows, must face the impossible: stop a god, uncover the truth about herself, and prevent reality from collapsing. Meanwhile, Lavellan, the Inquisitor who once sealed the Breach-and who once gave her heart to Solas-moves through the shadows of Minrathous. Her mission is clear: save Thedas... or die trying. But to do so, she must confront the man who broke her heart... and decide whether he can still be saved-or must be stopped. Can Rook unravel her past before it's too late? Can Lavellan reach Solas before the Dread Wolf consumes what's left of him? And most importantly... can anyone truly save Thedas? Whatever it takes. Welcome back to the world of Dragon Age.
Blighted Empire: Book I: Circle (First Draft)
Dragon Age/Inquisition fanfiction, an alternate re-telling of history. Instead of in Ferelden, the Blight occurs in and consumes Tevinter, resulting in the Tevene having to seek refuge within the South's Circle of Magi. Our story follows the alternate lives of Lavellan and Dorian Pavus, destined to find each other despite everything both have lost. NOTES: There will be three books. I plan to do Final Draft edits at the end of Two, before Three. I'd love input so I can consider things I may not have noticed before the Final Draft. :)Complete
