Summary
A Flaming Fist officer walks into a Zhentarim hideout. Sounds like the start of a joke, doesn't it? Except the punchline involves significantly fewer clothes and substantially more poor judgment than your typical tavern humour.
Here's a professional tip: when infiltrating enemy territory, remember to change ALL your gear. Because there's always some observant bastard who'll spot what you missed faster than you can say "know your enemy" - a phrase most people understand as a strategic principle.
But these two took it a bit too literally.Series

Summary
If one looked at the different stories of how the Black City became Golden again, they all contained different elements of the truth, for a given level of mythological belief. But no one would know better than the two people who were closest to the source as they dreamed in the fractured, shattered reflections of red lyrium.
“So we’re in deeper waters now, as it were, being physically present in the Fade?” she asked.
He nodded.
“Well,” she said, thoughtfully, “I think I understand why you were so worried now, about me dreaming. My clan would fish in the Free Marches sometimes, in little coracles on the Waking Sea. Sometimes a squall would come up before everyone could get back to shore. More than once someone was drowned because they tried to save someone else and got pulled down too.”
“Yes,” he affirmed. “Much like that. And the mad dreams of the Titans are much greater than a squall.”

Summary
Bull is torn between conflicting loyalties by the demands of the Qun.
But it wasn’t his job to convince the Bas that this was a good idea. He just had to relay the information. That he didn’t feel like he was doing it particularly convincingly was beside the point. She’d seemed interested in allying with his people. Not suspicious at all. Like she just assumed that everyone would want to work together to defeat Corypheus and then just go on their way afterwards. Weird mix of naive and cunning.
She leaned over the war table, thoughtful, looking through the little troop markers on the Storm Coast. She’d talked with Bull earlier in the day about the possibility of a Qunari alliance. That they were offering dreadnoughts was a major concession for them. Something didn’t feel right about it, though. He normally shared his intelligence without reservation or concern. She would have expected him to be interested or excited or at the very least neutral about the possibility of an alliance with the Qunari.

Summary
He tells her half-truths of the anchor and how she might close the rifts, assures Cassandra that though she is a mage, she is not capable of such extraordinary magic, and laughs genuinely when she asks if Varric is with the chantry. He makes himself fit in.
The world is fractured beyond repair, these people are little more than tranquil, and the fade is locked behind his creation. If this woman, this interrupter with the markings of the all-mother is to be the key to their salvation, so be it. He has made more from less.
---
It was never supposed to happen like this, for either of them. But it did, and everything will change because of it.

Summary
Elgar'nan sees something that he wants, and no one can stop him from taking it.
She is reed-slender and soft-fleshed and moon-haired, her mouth curved to smile and her hands unscarred and uncalloused. She laughs easily, scowls fiercely, and wears every expression in between as if it is a strand of gemstones that she’d like to show off.
She is not Elvhen. She is barely an elf - their language sits like marbles in her mouth, consonants clacking together rather than singing. In some ways, Elgar’nan finds it endearing: like watching a halla take its first steps, still wet from the womb.

Death on the Enavuris by virshiral

Summary
‘Yes,' Solas says quietly. 'I believe that everyone on this boat has a secret.'
Felassan raises an eyebrow. ‘Even you?’
Solas looks out across the river, and for a moment he is dizzy with the way the waves beckon him, the little lies they tell in every shift of the tide. He should deny it, but he finds that he cannot.
‘Most especially me,' he says heavily.Solas is a famous detective with a troubled history dating back to the wars that destroyed his homeland. When he embarks on a cruise along the Enavuris River to pursue a lead in his most recent case, he encounters a passionate love triangle which comes to a fatal end.
Complicating the tragedy is the fact that the victim Justinia, heiress to the Chantry fortune, was murdered with Solas’ own gun. And then there’s the problem of his extremely inconvenient attraction to the prime suspect, Jacqueline Lavellan.
As the cruise continues through the wilderness, rapidly approaching the Veil that separates the south of Thedas from the mysterious north, Solas races to uncover the truth before the killer can strike again.

Summary
He would do anything, he knew, for the sweet mercy of her touch. Let her fold his limbs into something pretty and pliant. Let her touch and taste and take and–
No!
No, he did not…did not want that.
Did he?
He gasped into her open palm, his own breath, hot and heaving, clouded around his face.
“I’m sorry. Ir abelas.”
“It’s okay. I know you can’t help it,” she said.
The kiss she placed onto his brow was chaste. The groan it elicited was anything but.The attack was meant for the Inquisitor, but when Solas takes the brunt of it instead, he has to deal with the consequences. It is not the first time this particular aphrodisiac has been used on him. Stripped of sense and sanity, Solas must contend with the memory of that, while his body rebels against him.

Summary
“We will save our friend from himself, if we can.”
Inquisitor Morinne Lavellan must steel herself to confront the man who left her, took her arm, and threatens to end the world they know. Those that still believe in her are convinced she’s the only one who might be able to convince him to stop - but what if the Inquisitor’s allegiances aren’t quite as strong as they used to be?
Eager to restore his People, Solas leads an army of elves that grows stronger every day. But when it comes time to directly confront those he once called friends, some of his agents begin to question if he truly has the stomach to see this grim duty through to the end.
Then an unlikely Grey Warden enters the game after witnessing Solas’ machinations firsthand, drawing the attention of Viscount Tethras. It earns Rook the job of a lifetime: put down the Dread Wolf once and for all… no matter who gets in her way.
Eventually they must learn that sometimes, terrible choices are all that remain.

A Thing Called Hunger by Syrina

Tags
Summary
Lucanis had never been so amused watching someone eat. She paused as she considered every bite, sometimes halving it, like she worried about taking too much though none of her bites could be considered anything but diminutive. She chewed thoroughly, vigorously, always with her fingers pressed to her lips to shield herself. She savored, letting out quiet little sounds of appreciation.
“Is that thyme?” she asked suddenly.
“It is.” He was surprised she could detect it. He had used the barest sprinkling, just enough to tame the bitterness of the onions.
A stirring in the back of his skull, movement from a phantom that had held himself so strangely patient that the absence of him was more jarring than his presence. Cook for her more.
A spark ignited in his chest, a need.
--
Or sometimes a family is a Hunger demon suffering from a long bout of humanity, her Dalish daughter, a demonicly possessed assassin, and the kooky aunts and uncles they've amassed along the way.

Din’an, she says, is the word for people like her.
Enal, she says, is the word for people like him.
Alhasha’melana, is the name she gives for this period she must endure, which is as inelegant as it is enticing.
Wild season.
The fall of Elvhenan and the rise of the Veil prompted a very particular evolutionary trait within Elvhen descendents to ensure the People's survival.
Solas does not know this.
Solas should probably know this.

Summary
Ellana is dead. Skyhold is empty, abandoned, a hollowed-out memory of what was once the beating heart of the Inquisition. Solas lingers in its empty halls, tethered to a grief he cannot move past. He has seen her in the Fade— not a spirit, not a demon, but her. Now, in the spaces where she walked, she returns. He remembers her scent, her laughter, and her hands reaching for him. There is a strangeness encompassing Solas and Cole and Skyhold. She keeps coming back, and she keeps coming back wrong.
Ellana is haunting him and Cole cannot directly tell Solas why. All they know is that she is not at peace and neither is he.

Summary
Ellana Lavellan is one of two apprentices to her clan’s Keeper, and not the most skillful of the pair. She expects to be sent away after failing to earn a place as First, but when she stumbles upon an ancient shrine to Fen’Harel and inadvertently summons the Dread Wolf himself, she finds in him a wealth of powerful, forgotten magics. He’ll teach her, if she makes a suitable offering: herself.
Ellana returns to the shrine again and again, summoning Fen’Harel to teach her more, but time works differently on the other side of the eluvian; centuries pass for him while only weeks go by for her. As she grows to know him as Solas, she discovers that the Creators are not the benevolent deities she believed them to be, and that the Dread Wolf is a man she can love.
What comfort can a mere Dalish mage offer a rebel god? More than either of them ever expected.
