Warnings: This is a Genderswap Regency romance AU, containing rampant historical anachronism, slapdash borrowing from canon, trashy regency romance tropes, vague Tevinter nastiness toward queer people, and one extremely brief reference to marital/corrective rape. Plus, fisting!Story summary:
Doria is the Duchess of House Pavus— the only heir of a powerful and ambitious family, and a favorite of the Tevinter Regency gossip mill. The Iron Bull is a mercenary captain from the colonies, whose service to the Imperium has led her into high society with her small company in tow for several weeks of fêtes and parties.
The two meet first at a soirée, then again when Bull accidentally climbs into Doria’s library window in search of letters regarding a Venatori conspiracy against the Inquisition—and despite how mismatched they may seem, the pull between them is too much to ignore. Has Doria found the answer to her problems in a seven-foot-tall Tal-Vashoth woman with one eye and the most horrid taste in clothing she’s ever witnessed?
