The existence of anti-magic bracers

[scarylady]

I have a question:

I've seen many stories where Templars use anti-magic bracers on mages they have captured.

Are these items in the codex anywhere, or the books?  Or are they just such an acceptable concept that lots of people have naturally gravitated towards them?

Fanfic: Strangers With Cookies

[twist_shimmy]

I completed Strangers With Cookies a month or so ago, but the story is now in final draft form thanks to some excellent concrit. As is my norm, I've created a .pdf of the final work, and the link to download it is here. (Deca, will you let Valia know? Both of you are on the thanks page. :P)

Never read it before? (Most people haven't, because the only place I could really post it to was the_sten.) Allow me to entice you with a summary:

Strangers With Cookies
Sten/f!Mahariel, Alistair/Leliana
Rating: E-->AO
Chapters: Eighteen + Epilogue
Complete? Y!
Summary: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Sten and Adhara, a Dalish Warden, have little in common but disdain for the human race. But for two people thrown into the midst of Fereldan politics, this becomes a basis for friendship. Whether or not their mutual respect of one another will be enough to keep them sane is anyone's guess....

"It bears repeating: being in Sten's head with you is fascinating, and is the only reason I have come to take him seriously as a character."- estaratshirai

 

"I finally managed to finish this fic and I have to say that I enjoyed the hell out of it. I actually cared about what happened between Sten and your Warden, which is cool because not only do I not generally like Dalish elves, but I usually find most people's wardens rather boring. "- prisoner_24601 (who is responsible for the concrit used to create the final draft.)

Chapters are short, as one of my goals for this one was to focus on brevity, but the entire story weighs in at 48k words, eighteen chapters, and an epilogue. I'm adding Chapter One here in case you are curious to see what it's like.


Chapter One: "What is that smell?"
Rating: E
Word Count: 1500
