Author has written 5 stories for Dragon Age.

The game Dragon Age: Origins is what inspired me to write, and Dragon Age 2 continues to inspire me. I know I've fallen behind on my writing lately, but I'm trying to get better!

My Stories (Complete and In Progress)

The Futility of Wishing (Complete) - This was my first work, inspired because I felt that, during one my play-throughs, there were some holes in the game/dialogue that needed to be filled in. It's short and was really an introduction for me to the world of fanfiction.

The Night is Full of Stars (Complete) - This story is set post-Blight, ignoring the events that occur in Awakenings, as it was started well before the expansion came out. It has turned into a massive thing, following my F!Cousland character as she struggles to find her place in the world. In this story, Alistair is made king, but F!Cousland is not made queen, instead choosing her duty to the Grey Wardens over love, though the decision is one that causes her pain.

Old Scars and New Wounds (In Progress) - This story is very AU, based on the idea that Loghain abandoned Cailan and the Grey Wardens on the field of battle because the signal fire in the tower was lit too late for him to assist the king. In this story, the darkspawn didn't break through into the Tower of Ishal, the fire was lit on time, and Loghains forces aided in the battle, securing a victory at Ostagar. Of course, there are still issues between Loghain and Cailan, and they are dealt with as they, Duncan, Alistair, and F!Tabris work to defeat the growing Blight.

From Which There is No Appeal (In Progress) - This story begins at the end of Act I of DA2, revolving around F!Hawke, Anders, and Fenris. Also contains many DA2 spoilers.
