Author has written 17 stories for Dragon Age.

About me...? Well suffice to say I'm slightly less interesting than a rock, unless you're a geologist and then I'll be in real trouble trying to find something else uninteresting to compare myself to.

I do however like to write, watch anime, read manga, read, draw and from time to time make palm trees out of empty toilet rolls. I also watch far too much kids' television than is good for me, but it does provide a break from my obsession with the world of Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins.

One day I know I'm going to start fanfictioning Fireman Sam or Roary the Race Car...

But for the most part, see? Rock-like...


Avatar is by the amazing Aimo of Alyce Amell and Neria Surana, sharing a quiet moment before all that messy business with archdemons and Grey Wardens.


Stories can all be read separately...just a few notes (and not necessarily in publishing order) here:

Remembering Aunt Mildred: the story of the Circle mage that didn't become a Grey Warden - complete. Luck of the Godsis the sequel to the above and is currently in progress.

Merran Amell:

Wishing You Weren't Here is the first of Merran's 'full' stories, following her through the Blight and slightly beyond. Wishing You Were Here is the sequel.

Both these fanfics are currently under (slow) review, so chapters might not be quite the same as I fiddle George Lucas-style with them. (See if you can spot Sten blinking!).

Conversation with a Qunari is technically the first of the Merran stories, but is a random snippet out of her life and can be read separately with no spoilers.

Happily Ever After; a response to a CMDA challenge is set in Merran and Alistair's world and chronologically is the most 'recent'.

-oo-

Magnus Cousland:

Warden Dining and Summer Nights in Soldiers Peak feature the terribly chipper and uppercrust Magnus Cousland who is in no way related to any other Cousland, except poor Fergus who might wish to change his name (or country) at some time in his life, just in case someone draws that conclusion. Unlike Fergus, both drabble-fics are not particularly related to each other, besides featuring the same characters.

-oo-

Eirin Cousland:

The Little Golem Boy is the main and first story following Eirin from girlhood on.

Smirking and The Lady in the Tower are fairly loose continuations set in Eirin's world and can be read separately to each other. All characters are from 'The Little Golem Boy'.

-oo-

All other stories are standalones and deny all knowledge of the others.

Hope you enjoy...

Sequel to Remembering Aunt Mildred - One would think the life of an individual with the soul of an old god would be easy. Or...not when you've grown up uncomfortably perched between the Chantry and the Circle and Grandma is a dragon. Literally.
