Iron Bull & Krem Friendship Fic <3 Fantastic idea and amazing execution on how Iron Bull knew so much about aqun-athlok. I love the Qunari concept of gender as a function of your role in society and this is such a good way of playing with it

Home to Meet Ma by @hsavinien

Taash/Lace Fic Taash gets to meet Lace's mom. It has the best midwestern vibes in the cutest most positive way.

Bonding by @agentwashingcat

Krem & Inquisitor bonding fic Lovely friendship fic exploring gender and culture and how they intertwine with an Elvish Inquisitior

Another piece done for @transthedasfest 2026! It was part of a mini series I started for the prompt ‘A View of Life Outside of the Shadow Dragons’

It sparked a fun server discussion of transitioning in Thedas and what HRT looks like. Ashur is learning the magical side of things so Merrill can go off adventuring. The boys were bickering, so she told Tarquin to shut up and ‘eat your banana’. 👀

I planned more for the background and details, alas, I’m burned out.

When Krem and the Bull’s Chargers signed on with the Inquisition, he was expecting steady, lucrative work for the good of Thedas. What he didn’t expect was to fall head-over-heels for the Inquisition’s lady diplomat, Josephine Montilyet. This follows touch-points in Krem and Josephine’s relationship over the course of the Inquisition.

Let the love tear us apart

Fandom: Dragon Age Rating: Teen and up Words: 2,638 Pairing: Krem/Tarquin “Hey,” said the man, meeting his eye. “Don’t bury him yet. This is what we do. I’m Tarquin, by the way.” He held out a hand. Krem took it, shook it. “Krem.” “Short for something?” “Only when I stand next to my Chief,” he grinned, a running joke. Tarquin just sighed and rolled his eyes, and Krem decided he liked his face, even more when it was annoyed at him. Krem returns to Tevinter to rescue his father from slavery. He teams up with Dorian and new friend Tarquin, and who knew they had stuff in common? - My contribution to Trans Thedas Fest 2026 - read it here! I had such a good time writing this. Criminal that this was the first Krem/Tarquin fic on AO3. I recommend checking out the rest of the collection too, there's some great stuff in there!

Taash has faced darkspawn, evil fuck-off elven gods, and way too many damn Antaam. Meeting Harding’s mother shouldn’t be too intimidating. Right?

This was actually for a combo of two prompts from Trans Thedas Fest: “Elf gender! Some Dalish clans having third genders, some having complicated gender constellations, trans acceptance, rigidity of gender roles, etc. I’d be thrilled to see trans Mahariels or Lavellans for this, and I’d love for there to be mentions on how this varies a lot by clan and isn’t universal” and “Krem & a trans Inquisitor bonding”! Enjoy!

The Imperial Divine has always been male, just as the Southern Divine has always been female. He can't explain why that point needles at him, more than the others. He is the head of the Chantry, and until he is able to take the actions needed to pull the corruption up by the roots, that is all that matters. It is not as if he would let another, man or woman, unseat him before his work is complete. Something about it bothers him all the same, just out of grasp.

Prompt: Transfemme Ashur. Just a moment of trans joy, maybe along with some of the other Shadow Dragons :)

Happy Trans Visibility Day!!!

Here is my contribution to @transthedasfest! I picked out the prompt 'forced feminization', so I immediately thought of Viago and Nyx. Not that Nyx is really being forced, technically, but it's the thought that counts.
