I really like this story. It deals with the aftermath of the game and the choices of a "light sided" Grey Warden, with Morrigan as a love interest, and who chose to impregnate her in the end to save his own soul.
Morrigan is, among others, extremely well written. The author has caught all of her jealousy and cruelty, and has written her into a very complicated person, which sometimes comes to show through humorous scenes (her "nightmare" in particular made me roll on the floor, holding my sides from laughter). Everything I loved about Morrigan from the game is in the story.
There are the occasional spelling errors, but nothing that annoyed me, at any rate.
The action could probably do with some more flair, likewise could the more "dramatic" scenes.
Lastly, like all Dragon Age fics I've read so far, the Warden has a silly first name. In this one he's named Dwemer...
4/5

An excerpt from the story:
"You are a terrible liar." she said as she approached him. "You only act like this is when you are worried." The witch placed her free hand on his shoulder, lightly rubbing it. "Some men prefer solitude, others drink. You cook."
The Warden sighed deeply. "I know. I always wished it was something more manly." He confessed, "Like knitting."
