    Summary

    Tarquin seeks change like a dog sniffs for scraps at the docks. Perhaps it's the familiarity of the path. From place to place, prize to prize, always trying to hunt down the end of it. Because there is an end, right? A city, a person, something. It wasn't Ventus, and it wasn't the military. It wasn't the Templar Order. The Shadow Dragons—now that's close. Names and faces and drinks to share and stories to laugh over. A man with a mask and many names and blue eyes, with a soft laugh and a sense of purpose so brightly burning he would've put Andraste herself to shame. And Tarquin feels that way, like a moth drawn to a flame. Can't get too close without getting burned.

    Then a couple of corrupt gods escape their prison, and the Sixth Blight begins, and suddenly there are worse things he could throw himself on than a walking conflagration of divine ambition. Tarquin closes his eyes, because the heat of a hearth feels the same as a pyre when you stand this close.

    OR

    A character study dressed up in the raiments of porn-with-plot following Tarquin as he realises he's stupid in love with his boss.

    Summary

    A wedding musician and a mortician with an occupied casket enter a chantry during a snowstorm.

    An explosively nasty meet-ugly, a dead car battery, and a power outage later, they find themselves trapped together for the night.

    Will they be able to resist the allure of *shared body heat*? Or will they strangle each other first?

    Featuring a sassy and slightly bitchy Emmrich Volkarin and the impudent, antagonistic Maren Mercar.

    Summary

    A year after the disbandment of the Inquisition, the Arlathvhen comes to the woods of Montsimmard.

    In exchange for removing the tattoos that are killing him, Fenris reluctantly agrees to protect Solas’s agents at the Dalish celebration — with Hawke by his side to help double-cross them in the end, of course.

    Merrill travels to the Arlathvhen to share the newfound truth of the Evanuris with her people, only to find them unwilling to listen to the pariah who caused the death of her Keeper.

    Though the festival is filled with reminders of his slaughtered clan, Nebel Lavellan attends to protect his people from Solas and stop them from learning the horrific history of their Creators.

    And a chance encounter between them all forces Nebel to face the truth of what it really means to love a former Ben-Hassrath.

    Summary

    There were still a few fires burning here and there. Still handfuls of civilians being guided to healers and places to stay other than the ruins of their homes, murmuring to each other as they moved. Still Venatori and demons lurking in the darker corners, waiting to be flushed out.

    But as Tarquin stared out a window, watching rain splatter against the balcony of one of the still-standing Shadow Dragon safehouses, he couldn’t hear any of it.

    Just the rain, his own soft breathing, and the voice of a Warden behind him.

    “Breathe in.” She murmured. Tarquin’s own chest lifted, but he didn’t turn to see if her patient had listened like he was supposed to. “Hold it, just like that.”

    -

    Post-Elgar'nan's defeat, after nearly losing each other, Tarquin and Ashur's relationship changes; they find their footing together in the aftermath.

    Summary

    They ignored the looks Fenris drew. It was nothing they were unfamiliar with, and they assumed that the Templar Order took its vows seriously, no matter how remote or roughshod the chapter. These men were soldiers of the Divine. Hawke would have trusted his captors with his life.
    Then things began to take a darker turn.

    Summary

    Sometimes the smallest choices can change everything.
    Varric’s decision to hire a blood mage to stop Solas was one of them.

    This is the story of a Rook who isn’t quite what anyone expected. Morally gray and socially awkward, she has little interest in making friends. Enter an Antivan Crow, suspicious of her from the start, and suddenly her plans begin to unravel, threatening more than just her secrecy.

    This is also the story of Lucanis Dellamorte, an assassin turned abomination, the last thing he wants is to work alongside the very kind of mage he once hunted. Enter his personal bane, who’s somehow the most tolerant person he’s ever known, and now he isn’t so sure if he should trust his instincts or his morals.

    “You know,” she said, voice low as she raised her hand to gently brush the ridge of the dagger. “I don’t normally use other people's blood in my spells, but I do use my own. So if you’re ever going to try and kill me—” her fingers drifted to skim the blade’s edge, just shy of drawing blood, and Lucanis pulled back with a grunt. “—make sure to do it in one clean move. Or otherwise, without blood involved.”

    Summary

    Duty calls, and Dorian must answer: when a letter arrives from an old acquaintance asking for Dorian’s aid in securing crucial alliances within the Magisterium, Dorian’s hopes for what Tevinter might yet become outweigh any trepidation about leaving the Inquisition – and the Inquisitor – for the time it would take to remedy Tevinter’s most obvious ills. Still, Inquisitor Lavellan will not be turned aside. Despite the mage’s protests, he insists on accompanying Dorian, although it will be as his companion, not as the Inquisitor.

    But the powers at play in the Imperium are greater and more convoluted than Dorian had anticipated: while he navigates secret alliances, unknown motives, and the effects of a series of brutal assassinations, Lavellan discovers that someone has been promising escaped slaves freedom… only to slaughter them for sinister purposes. Trying to uncover the truth of who is making a wild grab for power, and who is putting both Dorian and Lavellan in grave danger, is made harder as they struggle with how to be together in a world so bent on tearing them apart.

    NOTE: The final act is comprised of author’s notes/outline only — but the arc of the story is complete.

    Summary

    He wants to hurt you, Spite had crowed in his ear. Just like everyone else does!

    Lucanis would be inclined to believe him… if it weren’t for those few brief moments that had stuck in his mind. Gentle fingers rubbing salves onto his burns and bruises, so lightly that the pain never overtook the relief. The cloak being draped over him, shielding him from the night’s chill, its fabric thick and still infused with another body’s warmth. The most warmth Lucanis had had since he’d woken up in the Ossuary…Mierda, he must have spent far too much time in Venatori hands, if such small gestures were affecting him this much.

    (Or: Lucanis and Rook don't start off on the right foot. Only, Rook might not despise Lucanis as much as he suspected, and the Crow might be taking a fancy to the surly Shadow Dragon, too…)

    Summary

    “So you'd be the Viper then, yeah?” Tarquin asks, one eyebrow raised.

    “Ser Templar,” the Viper greets, as calm and pleasant as if they'd bumped into each other at the market. “Good evening.”

    Tarquin stares at him for a moment, then makes a pointed glance over his shoulder where it's still fucking pouring. A small river has started gushing in the divets where the walkway's been worn down over time. “Oh, piss off, it's a wretched night and you know it.”

    There's a couple of sounds like muffled laughter from the gaggle of kids, and the Viper's eyes crinkle just a little bit in a way that Tarquin is going to assume is a smile.

    “I was being polite,” the Viper protests.

    “Polite would've been picking any other back alley to corral your little flock and interrupting someone else's way home at the end of a shite day,” Tarquin grouses.

    ---

    Or, how Tarquin joins the Shadow Dragons and somehow manages to fall in love with his boss.

    One of his bosses. Good thing he has two, right?

    Summary

    “Thank you.”
    He barely caught it — the soft breath of thanks — yet it was still a struggle not to flinch away; to apologise for the situation they found themselves in. “Get some rest,” Lucanis murmured into Emmrich’s nape instead. Weak yet even breaths followed as Emmrich seemed to doze off, the worrying rattle from earlier thankfully absent. He didn’t look forward to the awkward conversation they would have to have, but if Emmrich was still alive to have it, Lucanis would consider it a fair exchange.

    When a Venatori ambush leaves Lucanis and a wounded Emmrich trapped in the High Anderfels, they're forced to navigate the treacherous landscape in hopes of reuniting with their lost companions and the Grey Warden patrol they were meant to find. But the mountains hold more than storms and uncanny predators, and Lucanis must wrestle with a far more dangerous conflict: his fiercely guarded feelings for the very necromancer he has sworn to protect.

    Summary

    The Crow appeared five minutes before the end of the ultimatum and hundreds of Trevisan citizens breathed a sigh of relief. The Antaam guards still kept their weapons leveled at the people herded into the marketplace, but the immediate threat of death had taken a step back the moment the assassin had entered the courtyard. 

    The master assassin nodded. “Every other Crow will leave Treviso for one year - and I turn myself in to you to die by means you deem proper to hold up order and peace in the city”, he recited calmly.

    Dorian Pavus didn’t intend to join the Inquisition. However, Enderin, the elven Herald, intrigues him.

    A story that follows the events of DA:I and after, and the romance between Dorian and Enderin. Eventually, it’ll get into steamy bits. Posting as I have time, so bear with me.

    NSFW chapters will be marked as such in the chapter summary, as well as anything I deem overly offensive or triggering.
