As Mountains Yet Unseen by The_Capricious_One
Fandoms: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Video Game), Dragon Age (Video Games)
19 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
For an openly practicing necromancer, Professor Volkarin was a man whose existence seemed devoted to making you forget what blood magic he used on corpses.
Isolde trailed him silently, watching him with as much attention as she gave to scanning the woods for dangers. When Rook had ordered Isolde onto this mission, Isolde hadn’t needed their purposeful, pointed look to know that her assignment wasn’t simply to guide and guard Professor Volkarin through the Arlathan wilderness. The malfunctioning artifact summoning demons too close to Strife’s camp, less than a week after Professor Volkarin had joined their party, was as much an opportunity as it was an obligation. Rook was shrewd; they always had more than one reason for doing anything they did.
Watch him.
A dangerous man, witnessed only by a lowly guard, might well give himself away.
---
A Veil Jumper guard, scarred by a hard life, develops an unexpected relationship with Emmrich during the events of Veilguard. Features mutual pining, slow burn, and a whole lot of touch starvation.

Summary
The explosion at the Conclave damages the Veil irrevocably, and breaks open Elgar'nan's prison. Solas is still weak from his slumber, but if he does not find a solution quickly, great evil will be released upon the world. Working in secret within the Inquisition, he searches for a way to seal away the Blight and defeat Elgar'nan before time runs out.
Of course he cannot afford to be distracted by the elven woman who has become known as the Herald of Andraste - this would be the worst possible time for him to fall in love.
This is an Inquisition-era AU where the explosion at the Conclave goes even worse and Solas is forced to do a lot more plotting and scheming. Featuring secrets revealed earlier than in canon; some adventures in ancient Arlathan; plus an excursion to the Black City.

Summary
She had heard bits and pieces about him, mostly from the Breakfast Ladies who still speculated about his past. Was he a Dalish reject? A city elf with a dark past? A former slave of Tevinter, trained as an apprentice by a powerful and benevolent magister who freed him upon their death? Josephine liked that theory and Cassandra looked rather proud of it before admitting it was far from what Solas himself shared during interrogation. Aevina didn’t contribute her own thoughts on the matter because—
Mythal, those shoulders. His neck. And his calming presence…which was also very imposing, now that he stood a staff’s length away from her. And a kind face with an expression that was difficult to read. And—and—where was I?
“You called, da’lan?”
His voice had an edge to it; annoyance?
“Forgive me,” he continued. “I was quite confused by the hand motions. I thought you were gesturing to something else.” His grey eyes were cold. “A nug, perhaps?”
***
An examination of how an ancient immortal on a mission to save his world found himself caring for a mortal ignorant of her past—the same mortal who holds the key to his redemption.

Summary
He tells her it's over, yet he visits her every night in her dreams. He tells her not to follow, yet always makes sure that the trail leads straight to him. He tells her that his path is one he must walk alone, yet it keeps taking him back to her.
How far is he willing to go to restore the world he once destroyed to save? How far is she willing to go to stop him?
A retelling of Veilguard with Lavellan as the protagonist (aka Lavellan IS Rook) that focuses on her complicated relationship with Solas. Starts near the end of Inquisition and continues through Veilguard and slightly beyond. Includes flashbacks to Inquisition. Mostly canon compliant with some small and large liberties taken at times (and a bunch of stuff from Joplin woven back in for good measure).

The Strategist by Elana_Night

Summary
Strategist. Soldier. Survivor.
In a galaxy consumed by war, Lieutenant Valeria Solin was trained to predict conflicts — not fight in them.
A gifted strategist from the heart of Coruscant, Valeria finds herself reassigned without warning to the Republic flagship Negotiator, a vessel commanded by Jedi legends and shaped by battles too large for calculation. Surrounded by myth, rank, and silence, she is forced to rebuild her purpose among warriors who follow instinct, not analysis.
General Kenobi is not the man she expected — nor is he the kind of Jedi she thought the Republic still produced. As the war grinds on, and trust grows in quiet spaces between battles, their connection begins to blur the lines between duty and something deeper.
Amid the chaos of combat, the pull of memory, and the vast quiet of hyperspace, Valeria will come to understand that some wars are not won on the battlefield —
but within the self.
And some bonds are harder to predict than any strategy ever taught her.- Language:

Summary
Nearly a year has passed since Rook last saw Solas. It's not that she intentionally puts him out of her mind, but the sting of remembering his manipulation of her vulnerability is enough psychological deterrent to prevent her mind from drifting there on the average day. And now, here she is; drifting. Hurtling, more like, thanks to the alcohol.
or
After a night of drinking and trading stories with Dorian and the ex-Inquisitor, Rook wonders about Solas and his journey to atone, alone in the Fade. It's just enough to draw her back into his orbit.

Summary
Rowan sits bolt upright, blood rushing to her brain, and nearly loses consciousness again.
“Varric?”
She looks around. She’s not in Minrathous. She’s not in the Lighthouse. She’s in a small wooden hut, the Frostback chill seeping in through the thick pine walls and competing for dominance with the heat of the fire crackling in the fireplace.
She’s in Haven. 9:41 Dragon. She traveled through space and time, arriving not at Arlathan before Solas’s ritual, but at the Ferelden Conclave, just to be blown up, hurtled back into the Fade she’d so recently escaped from and then out again, now marked by god magic.
Fuck.
When Rook discovers that time travel exists - and her friend Dorian helped pioneer it - she begs him for a favor: send her back to the ritual so she might save her mentor and friend, Varric, from Fen'Harel's knife. Dorian sends her back, all right - eleven years back, to the moment everything went to hell and the Herald of Andraste was born.

Summary
After your mother’s death, you find yourself inheriting more than her memory, you inherit her unofficial role as the building’s caretaker. It wasn’t a job she was paid for, just something she chose to do out of kindness, and now, the residents naturally turn to you to fill her shoes. Everyone except Sevika. Intimidating, brusque, and anything but warm, she makes it clear she doesn’t need or want your help. But you’ve made up your mind: you’ll care for her, even if she resists every step of the way.
As you begin to chip away at the walls Sevika has built around herself, you uncover a side of her few ever see, a woman shaped by more than just her fight for Zaun’s freedom. And in the process, you realize that some walls can’t be torn down alone—they need someone willing to stand on the other side.

Summary
Scarlett Amaryllis Cousland never asked for this. She didn't want to become a Grey Warden. She wasn't looking to play hero. She's just some shy bookworm who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and now it's up to her to save the world. Armed with a wicked brand of sarcasm and a really, REALLY big sword, she and her companions set off to fix the unholy mess we affectionately call The Blight. Despite her initial reluctance to lead, she soon comes to learn she has an inexplicable knack for it. Just one problem: Love. complicates. everything.
This story is a DA:O retelling and yes, dare I say, a love story. But that's not to suggest it'll just be the same ol' tale you've played through a dozen times. I've thrown in lots of extras and taken several liberties with this otherwise familiar plot, and I promise this is one story that will definitely keep you guessing. So buckle up, reader. You're in for one wild ride! :)

Kestrel MacDuff Writes a Bad Romance by avantegarda
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
02 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
If she wrote an honest story about her current circumstances, Kestrel thought, it would have to begin something like: Kestrel MacDuff, aged twenty-nine yet as naive as a child, was trapped on a ruined beach with a worm in her brain and maybe two days left to live. It was entirely her own fault, and there wasn’t much chance she’d get out of this intact.
Accurate, but not encouraging.Series

Summary
Fate, destiny - none of it seems to matter much when you're under the yoke of an endless infernal debt. Finally free, Niamh sets out to begin a new life. She will find out just how much it matters when she's abducted by mindflayers and thrown into an uneasy alliance with a group of strangers.
Gale isn't a big believer in fate, but he does believe his death is close to hand when the illithid ship takes him. He'll learn just how wrong he is - and just how much life can offer - when he meets Niamh.
---
Slowburn friend-to-lovers romance, heaps and heaps of pining, eventual smut (check my oneshots if you'd like a sample) and a bonus minor Bloodpact on the side.
This fic is intended as a semi-novelization of the game, with some expansions to canon, some filler for plot holes, and a lot of Forgotten Realms/tabletop lore with a big focus on bards and artificers.
