Alexia Master post
It's come to my attention that I have fics featuring Alexia Cousland scattered all over the internet, and there might be people who would like having an easy way to track them down and keep them all straight. The latter point is especially important given my love of "what-if" scenarios and AUs; I have at least three or four different timelines for Alexia out there. They all make sense in my head, but anyone not in my head could probably use a guide. Like this one:
Canon timeline
Codex Alexia - Letters written to Alistair while serving as Warden-Commander in Amaranthine
Witch Hunting - Alexia's motivation for seeking out Morrigan
These are the stories Alexia wanted to tell that got me back into writing fanfic.
Tea and Archery - Prequel - Backstory scene of Alexia and her mother. This can be read as a prequel to any of Alexia's different timelines. (SFW kinkmeme fill. It's possible I've missed the point of a kinkmeme.)
Possible future
The Last Crusade series - This was inspired by a prompt on the kinkmeme, then it took on a life of its own
(Note: "Kinkmeme" is probably misleading here. The only "kink" tag on this series is angst.)
Last Stand - A group of Wardens meet up on Calling and decide to make an adventure of it.
Last Wish - Adventure or no, Calling can't be put off forever, and it's Alistair's time.
Last Call - Oghren finds an answer to the all-important question: What is there to drink in the Deep Roads?
Last Sunrise - Bethany doesn't plan to sit idly by and wait for the Taint to overwhelm her.
Last Chance - Anders digs into Nathaniel's secrets in an attempt to convince Alexia not to give up.
Last Words - Alexia owes her companions one final chance at immortality.
Last Goodbye - cowritten with the amazing signcherie - Alexia delivers Anders's final letter to Autumn Hawke
Unexpectedly Cute Baby Monsters - Promptfest drabble set sometime between Last Stand and Last Wish.
Twist on canon
Take Two - After killing the archdemon, Alexia wakes up back in Highever, remembering everything. (Again, smut-free kinkmeme post)
Once More with Feeling (WIP)- Foreknowledge helps in dealing with Loghain and the Blight, but it's not so much use when the goal is love. (More largely smut-free kinkmeme posting)
Alternate game ending
Second Chances (WIP) - After Alistair sacrifices himself to kill the archdemon, Alexia has to find a way to go on. Nathaniel takes it on himself to help. (Kinkmeme and currently a T rating at best)
A Rose for Ever After - Promptfest drabble glimpse at a someday future for Alexia in this timeline.
Broken Dreams - prequel-ish to Second Chances - An encounter with a desire demon shows Alistair where Alexia's heart really lays. (More smut-free kinkmeme posting)
Currently untitled AU (WIP)
Summary: Alexia Cousland Howe survives the Highever massacre without becoming a Grey Warden because she and her husband Nathaniel led the Highever troops at Ostagar. Alexia and Nathaniel, along with a portion of their soldiers, escaped Teyrn Loghain's betrayal and the resulting rout, largely due to quick thinking by Dundardel, an elven scout under Nathaniel's command. As they lead their survivng troops home, they meet up with others fleeing the Darkspawn horde, including a templar and his wife, another Ostagar survivor seeking justice for those killed.
Upon returning to Highever, Alexia discovers that her entire family has been slaughtered by the treachery of Nathaniel's father. They also learn that Loghain has claimed the throne in the wake of King Cailan's death at Ostagar. Declaring him a usurper, Alexia and Nathaniel seek out Cailan's half-brother Alistair, finding him in the company of the only other Grey Warden to survive Ostagar, exiled dwarven prince Althgar Aeducan.
This was my NaNoWriMo project for 2011, and the first draft weighed in around 92k words. It's not going to be publicly available until it undergoes a lot of editing, but I have released a few snippets:
Opening teaser - Alexia and Nate meet Althgar, Alistair, and their companions on the road outside Redcliffe.
Gauntlet trial - Combat between the party and their doppelgangers during the Gauntlet seeking the Ashes.
Baby's First Mabari - Promptfest drabble that was adapted into a part of the epilogue.
