Author has written 7 stories for Dragon Age.

I've played Dragon Age: Origins, DAII, and DA Inquisition obsessively, until the characters have gotten inside my head and won't get out. I also have a mostly-Dragon-Age-based Tumblr, under the name genginger (currently on hiatus). Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read my stuff, and double thanks and internet cookies to those who review! Feedback is welcome.

Broken Pieces (in progress) -- Post DAII. Hawke and Fenris are on the run from Templars and Seekers alike when they stumble across a broken Sebastian, whose attempt to re-take Starkhaven did not go to plan. Arguments and recriminations, disturbing dreams, and awkward tent time ensue. f!Hawke/Fenris/Sebastian. Resumed Jan 2019 after a long hiatus. A million thanks to hot-elf and thinkdragonage for beta reading and friendship, even after I disappeared for four years.

Aftershocks (complete) -- 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... Zevran, though the first 10 chapters could easily be rated T. [A million thanks to hot-elf, without whom this story would still be languishing half-finished in a folder somewhere.]

Dagger's Touch (complete) -- The Hawke/Fenris romance in DA2 leaves quite a lot open to interpretation, as you can see when you peruse the stories on this site. This is a tale from my rogue f!Hawke's perspective. The hawk and the wolf have more in common than they realize - including a fear of letting anyone get too close. A million thanks to my fantastic beta Deagh, who did wonders to tame my comma obsession. Any errors you may find fall strictly on my own head.

4/18/12: I updated the story rating to M as of chapter 20 -- there's nothing here you don't see in the game if you play through the romance, but the game itself is rated M.

Beware of Sisters Bearing Gifts (one shot, complete) -- My very first published story, one-off, implied f!Hawke/Fenris. This is a scene cut from my longer tale when the characters evolved and it didn't really make sense anymore. They say to kill your darlings, but I had such a fun time writing this I couldn't bear to toss it away.

Shards (abandoned) -- Snapshots from my Origins City Elf playthrough. I tried hard to actually roleplay this and make some different choices... and then it started to run away from me. It started out as a full gameplay story, but I'm shifting the focus to between-the-missions and trying to write my own dialogue (for the most part). This is actually on my back burner so updates will be slow, but I thought I'd post what I had so far while I work on something else.

Vanity (one shot, complete) -- A post-battle scene for f!Cousland and Zevran. Will eventually be part of a longer story, but stands fine on its own. A preview for Aftershocks.
