"What in the Maker's name were you supposed to do when you liked a woman?" It's a question Alistair has asked himself far too many times since unexpectedly meeting her in the Wilds. And though he knows he should be focusing on the Blight, he can't seem to help himself around her - from falling deeper into his attraction for her. *OC, Cousland Warden with Morrigan, M for lemons*

The provoking young Cousland Grey Warden stands squarely in the way of Anora's ambitions.

Lucy, vastly pregnant, is ordered to Amaranthine to become the Warden-Commander. "I'll delegate a lot," she told Zevran. "It'll be a piece of cake."

Champions aren't trained, they're made, through coincidence and hardships, potential is forged into ability. And as old and new conflicts ignite into something more, that ability will be sorely tested... T for violence and possible romance, not a simple retelling of the game, where would the fun in that be?

High School AU. When Hawke is one frustrating art credit short of graduating, she finds herself in a class taught by a man with strange tattoos and haunted eyes. Mature content. Updated weekly (generally).

When Merrill and Anders find themselves trapped together for the night, understanding is reached and a friendship is formed. Neither could have predicted where that friendship might take them.

A post-blight story. Nessa Cousland and Zevran deal with the aftermath of the war while trying to keep Anora on the throne of Ferelden. Rated M, because... you know Zevran is going to get up to something eventually. He usually does. Complete!

Yet now the Blight looms, and they don't have their father to guide them through it, so they do what they must to survive. Despite their wishes, however, fate has too much in store for either of them to wallow in obscurity.

Aedan Cousland gave his life to slay the archdemon. Alistair is king. He isn't sure if he's up to the task. Eamon thinks he knows someone that can help.

When Bryce Cousland's little spitfire scaled the Tower of Ishal and lit the beacon at the critical moment, King Cailan won a mighty victory against the darkspawn. The Blight, however was far from over. All other origins included, plus Hawke and his companions. Cousland/Loghain, Morrigan/Anders, Surana/Zevran, Fergus/Anora, and more. Half a million hits and still going.

One false step, and the Landsmeet was lost. Execution would have been a kindness, compared to what Anora has planned for Alistair. WARNING: Darkfic. Please see more specific warnings in story notes before reading. Light Version (turns from dark to bittersweet). Alistair/Mahariel, Alistair/Anora.

When the flood comes it sweeps some things away and leaves others in its wake. How Marian Hawke and Alistair Theirin come to know each other. M for language and violence. Altered timeline and events, OCs, and post DA II events. Not quite AU, but well away from canon. Reviews very welcome!

AU, based on a kmeme prompt. Fenris runs further south to escape his master, and meets [Awakening] Anders on the road. They are each what the other hates, but both see sense in teaming up to keep their freedom. In time, they find their opinions and thoughts being challenged. Something else grows through the hatred, like grass through concrete. But what if they were caught?

Follow an elf named Athadra as she climbs out of the long shadow cast by the Circle Tower into a fight she never asked for, whose conclusion is far from forgone. She will know passion, betrayal, anger, terror, and maybe even a few laughs along the way. Trigger warning for non-consent references. (See profile for more information, including a link to a character study of Athadra.)

On the day that Fenris meets his sister things do not go as planned, resulting in the world unfolding in a very different way for Hawke, Fenris, and the rest of their companions in Kirkwall. Eventual Hawke/Fenris

Theirs was a fragile friendship, that fell apart for the sake of an arranged marriage . . . to each other. As the new King and Queen of Ferelden, nothing is easy, and one Dark Promise may threaten to ruin their kingdom and their very souls. Part 1 of 3.

As it so happens, Bethany has a thing for her older brother, and as if happens, her older brother has a thing for her. They explore these things...Yeah...Just read it. Incest, Hawkecest, naughty language, and other things that there should be an MA rating for...Yes, that was a dig at you, FF.

She hesitated-"Mostly, I couldn't kill you, knowing that I cheated. At the Landsmeet. Our duel." There was a heavy silence. Loghain said slowly, "You do realize that I am holding a naked sword at this very moment?" M for sound reasons.

Isabela and Marian Hawke are an established couple who set out to seduce Fenris into a threesome. It turns out to be more complicated than they imagined. Eventual F!Hawke/Isabela/Fenris relationship.

What happens when a mage who believes in nothing meets a man of integrity? It isn't all roses and raindrops. The story of an irreverent mage and a true noble. Rated M for later chapters. Moving into AU territory.

Aedan Cousland orders Alistair executed and marries Anora in order to Rule Ferelden after the Blight. But plans go awry and sometimes you can't predict the outcomes of your own actions. Rated M for sex and Violence. Darker than most of my fics! Cover Art by Cave-Fatuam

The saga of Warden-Commander Brand Cousland six years after the end of the Blight as she confronts a love lost and the potential destruction of all she holds dear. Cousland/Exiled Alistair w. Cousland/Anders Rated M for violence and adult themes.

Five years after the defeat of the Archdemon, Alistair and Elissa are brought together by a common threat, and must try to know each other again in the roles of their new lives.

In my universe, barely literate, semi-medieval characters like sending very short missives back and forth across the country. It makes no sense. Roll with it.

Written for Da Tent Party kink meme - AU Anders thanks Alistair very thoroughly for not letting Rylock take him. Absolutely NSFW. You've been warned.

When Blythe Amell is conscripted and forced to leave the Circle Tower, Anders and a disillusioned Cullen uncover a dark secret of the Chantry's and are determined to expose it. Rated M for expletives & M/M and F/M sex. F/Amell, M/Surana, Cullen, Anders

Duncan made a mistake when he recruited a psychopath mage. It might have been OK if someone other than Alistair had survived Ostagar, but since no one did, Neria is able to use her freedom to turn the kingdom into something ridiculously chaotic.

After the pain of "Duty" and the trials of "Duty's Journey" Elinora Cousland has finally returned to Alistair & is ready to take up command of the Wardens of Ferelden. But the ghosts of the past will not stay quiet & something new is on the rise...R&R!

Alistair was not Cailan. He was only a collection of similar shortcomings, wearing her dead husband's face.

The Blight has ended, the Archdemon slain, but the Hero of Ferelden does not yet mean to rest. Alistair fled Denerim before the siege and she intends to track him down. Either he will return with her, or she will burn that bridge forever.

Sierra can't sleep. Not since the defeat of the Archdemon. That's when the nightmares came...but are they really nightmares, or something more? She must risk it all to find the truth...and possibly save the one she couldn't save on top of Fort Drakon.
