Dragon Age: The Crown of Thorns/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Alas, Poor Scrappy: Cailan's death scene, where he shows that he is very much Maric's son and pretty much proves Loghain wrong in regards to mostly everything the latter says about him in the game.
  • Crazy Awesome: Faren sometimes does this, particularly when he's in Dark Wolf mode.
    • It seems that, whenever things go to hell in a handbasket, this is Raonar's way of coping, especially when he feels responsible for things getting worse.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Most everyone got at least one moment of awesome so far, although some stand out.
    • Everything Alim does, especially at the Battle of Ostagar, with music recommendations by the author!.
    • What Raonar managed in the so-called Origin Story. The effects are only now being seen and felt.
    • Raonar's confrontation with the fade beast, even though he lost. Then again, he was prepared to lose...
    • the entire chapter 34 is one for everyone.
    • Chapter 40 is another one for Faren, what with winning the proving and all.
    • Surprisingly enough, Gorim, of all people, got one, although it was an indirect one. The months he spends keeping a certain someone hidden away result the the latter losing a level in suck and taking one in Badass instead.
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Again, more than one.
    • Faren's nightmare and its resolution.
    • Trian and Raonar's reunion.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: The entire Chapter 32.
  • Draco in Leather Pants: A really large, detailed explanation at the end of Chapter 48 is basically the author's Reason You Suck Speech against the people who Draco-fy Bhelen.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Kallian gets a rather strong dose of this when she starts to go through her calling prematurely, before Avernus's potion saves her. Thankfully, her memory is jumbled and she didn't really understand what the darkspawn wanted to do to her, so she got away without much trauma.
  • The Woobie: As is par for the course in the world of Dragon Age. Faren has the crown for this.
