* ''Synopsis'': From the summary: ''What if the Warden had died during their origin story? What if Alistair found himself alone, facing the task of uniting Ferelden against the Blight? How would things differ? What would happen to the others?''
* ''Comments'': Brilliant. Bamftastik catches the essence of every character; her portrayal of Alistair is remarkably and painfully accurate, from the way he's cruel to Morrigan and often thoughtless, an aspect many fans of Alistair forget. Kudos for the ghosts of Wardens-that-could-have-been. Originally on Livejounral, where it had illustrations.

* "Comments": This fic shapes the romance between the female Warden and Alistair beautifully--the Warden is a fish out of water when she's taken from the tower, and Crisium paints this believably while developing the romance between the two. I particularly love her Alistair--I feel like she's plucked him right out of the game, and his lines and the situations in the story are hilarious (the first time Alistair gets drunk is a time to remember!). Meanwhile, the relationships between party members are also shown, in character and satisfyingly real.

** Absolutely seconded. I tend to be wary of fic, especially ones with a heavy OC focus, but this was really brilliant. The vagueness mentioned above really worked in this author's favor, making the Warden just generic enough to be enjoyable for any reader without ever becoming boring. The OC is difficult to explain without spoilers, but suffice it to say that the characterization felt very much in the spirit of canon.

* ''Comments'': A novelization of the events of Dragon Age that follows a Morrigan romance. The lead character seems to go through a sort of coming-of-age though it’s definitely in the background through most of it. The romance is largely front and center from the beginning, and it can make for slow going when coupled with the game’s plot. Altogether enjoyable read.

You're fooling yourself if you think it's anything other than an excuse for whole bunch of characters to have sex, but it also contains a Warden who is irrevocably evil and yet still a compelling and interesting character, as well as some interesting relationships.

*** Quite well written, but the titular victory at the beginning of the story takes away a great deal of the plot's urgency, without replacing it with another more immediate threat. Also, the abundance of party members, including original [=NPCs=] and those introduced in the expansions, mean that attention on them is increasingly divided, bogging down the story. Much as I hate to say it, this might be a case where [[LetsSplitUpGang splitting the party]] might help alleviate the overcrowding and keep things moving.

*** Seconded. A great fic for those who enjoyed the depth of the game world, especially the feudal drama of Ferelden. The game itself claimed inspiration from [[ASongofIceandFire A Song of Ice and Fire]], and this story calls to the fore a snake pit of conflicting interests in that vein.

** The story has some merit, but I had a hard time getting into it.

* Comments: ''Comments'': The idea of using more than one or even all six origins has been done before but I've never seen it done better than here. Thus far, only six chapters are out but they delve deep into the backstory of each very unique and well-fleshed-out character - the chapters ending moments before the origins start - who are very much products of their environments and you can already see why the Wardens-to-be would choose to pursue their love interst of choice.

* ''Pairings'': F!Cousland/Loghain
* ''Synopsis'': There is nothing Loghain Mac Tir would not do for his country, but an arranged marriage with a woman half his age is the last thing he thought might be required. AU with Elissa as eldest.
* ''Comments'': This is one of the best-written Loghain's I've ever seen. The story starts off six years before the Blight starts so as of yet any of Loghain's in-game actions haven't occured. He manages to come off as likeable while completely in character and Elissa is very likeable as well. Circumstances forced them into marriage but they're making it work.

*** Fortunately, the in-progress sequel centers around Zevran which should fix that.

* ''Comments'': The odd PenName alone drew [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/LadyDemonique Lady Demonique]] to give the story a try. The writer's attention to detail (which, despite the name, mostly [[AvertedTrope averts]] the PurpleProse) and ability to paint a picture with words are what kept her reading. Stays mostly true to [[DragonAge Dragon Age: Origin's]] tongue-in-cheek dialogue, with additional lines that mesh seamlessly with in-game dialogue and events, and occasional LampshadeHanging on the game's mechanics. [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep The Warden]], while lacking any defining physical characteristics besides good-looks and athleticism (despite a drawing by the author), or even a [[PlayingWithATrope real name]], has a quirky and very unforgettable personality, and the author skillfully and sensitively conveys the emotional vulnerability of an actual person going through the events in the Human Noble origin. The build-up of UnresolvedSexualTension is very well-paced, just enough to keep readers hanging on the edge of their seats, and the intimate interludes (when they happen) are tenderly passionate and sexily intense at the same time. Very frequently updated (a new chapter is uploaded roughly every 2 days, sometimes before less than a day has passed since the last upload), and the author has expressed no intentions of slowing down anytime soon.

* Recommended by Spark Moon
* ''Synopsis'': From the summary: ''The trouble with winning is that you have to figure out what do to next.'' A short character piece focusing on everyone's favorite bird-hating golem, Shale.
* ''Comments'': A short yet very interesting story centered around a criminally underrated character who doesn't get nearly as much love in Dragon Age fan fiction. Shale is a tricky character to write properly, much less as a POV character, but Sinvraal handles the surly golem in a way that's both wryly funny and believeable.

* ''Synopsis'': A retelling of Origins with what would have happened had the Dwarf Noble been allowed to think for himself. The story of fall, honor and pride as Raonar Aeducan renounces his life so that his two brothers may keep theirs.
* ''Comments'': After being forced to time and again fall victim to Bhelen's plot, it's refreshing to see a story where things aren't so set in stone. Despite being perfectly in character, Trian isn't dismissed as just a useless, arrogant fool while Bhelen is deemed unrepentingly evil which is a nice change. Things have changed enough - and believably - that while the DN still leaves to join the Wardens it isn't clear just how things are going to play out.

older brother would get himself framed on purpose just to fake the death of a certain someone. AU Fanfiction including all Origins as characters. Different outcome for House Aeducan and Orzammar.
