A Wink in Thedas https://archiveofourown.org/works/84969106/chapters/224313476
This is a collection of many short stories spanning familiar and unfamiliar characters. These works will build off of stories already told by Dragon Age in Bioware's canon, excluding Veilguard as there is none yet. Time will be denoted in each short entry. Veilguard's canon, Harding sacrificed herself to kill Gilan'nain. Rook in this canon is an elven, spell blade Crow. She chose to save the Crows as well, when the dragons attacked. In this canon, Rook helped the Inquisitor stop Solas and convinced Solas to go into the Veil Prison to keep it intact with the Inquisitor joining him after Morrigan/Mythal's convincing.

I'm Lost and I'm Found https://archiveofourown.org/works/78594716/chapters/224303221#workskin
Six months after their story should have ended, former Inquisitor Lydra Surana Lavellan is no closer to finding Solas or any of his agents than they were when he vanished with their hand and their heart. Unbeknownst to their friends and family, they have their own plans for when they finally find Fen’Harel… as does the man who was once his most loyal general.
Finally himself again after five years of Tranquility but forever fractured by his oldest friend’s mistakes, Felassan finds that his story isn’t quite finished after all, and that Lydra may be the key not only to saving Thedas, but to saving Solas from himself. But Lydra, exhausted and heartbroken and angry, just might let Thedas burn if it means being at their vhenan’s side once more.
Felassan is determined to prove to Lydra that this world is worth saving, and they discover that their stories haven't ended just yet; they’re beginning a new one— together. But how does this story end, and just what role will their wayward wolf end up playing?
A post-Trespasser recovery fic about living past the end of your myth.

Between the Black and White https://archiveofourown.org/works/81289681/chapters/224353971
A restless and reckless Rook and a wary tortured Lucanis navigate friendship, love and freedom in the shadowed chaos of Blighted mage-gods. Or how an Shadow Dragon elven mage and a mage-killer abomination figure out what truly matters to them as the world, as they know it, ends around them. A canon rewrite that fills in the many blanks of the Veilguard, and significantly diverges from game canon after the Minrathous/Treviso choice, featuring a Hardened Rook.

Whose Sacrifice? https://archiveofourown.org/works/84813946
For a very long time, Alice Hawke has tried everything in her power to keep safe those that she loves. Sometimes, that involved removing herself from their lives, even if that wasn't what they wanted. Now, there is nowhere to run but after her brother, who insists on playing the hero. She can't stop him, she can't protect him. Can she save him?

Politely Asked to Leave https://archiveofourown.org/works/85170141
“So a Qunari, a Vint, and an elf get kicked out of a pool…This sounds like the perfect set up for a joke,” Dorian had very kindly booked a relaxing wellness session for them all. He should have known better really.

the lonely end of the rink https://archiveofourown.org/works/74909501/chapters/195707676
In theory, Vero Solano is living every hockey-obsessed kid’s dream. After surviving a string of hazing incidents, they’ve clawed their way to the Show – the Thedas Hockey League. When Vero is traded mid-season to the Antiva City Crows, they’re preceded by their reputation as a stand-offish loner who prefers anonymous hookups off the ice to team bonding. To everyone’s surprise – including and especially their own – they soon find themself connecting with Viago de Riva, the Crows’ enigmatic goaltender whose on-ice brilliance has earned him respect despite his own eccentricities.
A 14-year THL veteran and the cornerstone of the franchise, Viago has spent his entire career barely tolerating his teammates. Still, there’s something about Vero’s careful detachment that’s entirely too familiar. Despite his misgivings, he finds himself offering the Crows' newest defense player post-practice advice that quickly evolves into something that looks dangerously like friendship – and maybe more.
