Summary
It’s one thing to see a dragon from the 10 by 12 inch screen of her laptop, it’s quite another to see it directly above her – a barely comprehensible mass of gleaming scales of deep maroon, hard edges and slick boney wings that seem to block out all light. We’re going to die. We’re going to die at the hands of an actual dragon. That’s something that’s going to happen.
-----
A gathering of old friends goes terribly wrong as messing with unknown mods (and magics) leads to the four becoming trapped at the start of Dragon Age: Inquisition. As they navigate risk, romance, and a reality that isn't always quite what they expect, they'll need to rely on themselves and each other if they ever stand a chance at going home again.An ensemble cast rom-com about friendship, love, and trying not to be killed by a decade-old rpg.

Summary
Dave's made a pretty good life for himself in Fereldan.
After four years, he's gotten pretty used to the magic, and the monsters, and whatever else Thedas has seen fit to throw at him. Compared to all that, a role in the royal guard should be a cakewalk, right?
But Queen Anora is clever, beautiful, and far more intimidating than any darkspawn he's ever faced.
And the problem with being her personal guard is just how personal things might be becoming.

“The right way?” he scoffs. “You mean the long way.”
“Yes, it is the longer approach, but it is also the one that works best in the long run. Your Sloane is a diplomat, yes? Don’t you believe she would want you to try the diplomatic approach before racing in like a child?”
“A child?” Alistair rebukes. “You make it sound like I’ve lost a favored toy. This isn’t— she isn’t—“ He stops his pacing in front of her. “I love her, Anora. And if something happens to her now, then the last thing I ever did was fail her.”
