    Summary

    “To live in this world you must be able to do three things: To love what is mortal; To hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, To let it go.” (Mary Oliver)

    Tavi grew up on a small, rural farm in the Tevinter Imperium. He and his family laboured for their daily bread; spent holy days at the local temple; and enjoyed the fruits of the seasons, living humbly but happily in their slice of paradise.

    Then, a magister came through their little village. In his wake, he wrought upon Tavi's world a wave of misery worse than any blight.

    Fifteen years pass. Octavian has clawed his way from the hellish imprisonment that had been thrust upon him, far colder a man than he had been when he first saw the walls of a cell. Imbued with vengeful purpose, he plans to seek justice for the wrongs committed against him: and if justice cannot satisfy him, he will settle for blood.

    (Covers Tevinter Nights, Veilguard, and an epilogue.)

    Summary

    If there was any time for Solas to lose his mind, it’s now.

    Defeated, trapped in the Fade forever, trying desperately to prevail over the Blight he’s sharing his prison with. And there’s a whole new stack of regrets to weigh on him. In the meantime, Rook won’t stop trying to fix what is broken: The still too thin Veil, the Blight, Arlathan. And Solas.

    Two years after the events of Veilguard Solas gets unexpected visitors in his Fade prison. But the time there has changed him, and not for the better. As usual, he can’t make anything easy for anyone.

    Summary

    "So he was not ashamed of his preference in lovers. He was not. He had known his preference since his early teens, perhaps earlier, and he had acted upon it to the satisfaction of himself and his partners, and he was not ashamed. Tevinter was ashamed. His parents were ashamed. Dorian was not ashamed. Not about this."

    Or: Dorian has always known who he is and what he wants. Knowing has never made it easier. Also, he doesn't really know.

    Summary

    Sometimes, it annoys Dorian how this one, quite a simple thing really, has become so integral in how he sees himself, and in turn, how he expects others to see him. Is it not ironic, that all his father's attempts to suppress that side of him only led to it being highlighted time and time again until even Dorian himself could not imagine it not coming up in discussion eventually? The flirting, the innuendos and brow-wiggling have become so central to his public façade that occasionally people forget there is also the side of him that would have thrived in a quiet convent more than anywhere else.

    Summary

    It’s no secret that Dorian’s attitude is pretty much all bluster. Cullen has always assumed it was to cover deep emotional scars left by his family, his country and any number of other pains he’s had to endure in his 30 years of life. Then he unwittingly finds himself in a position to discover that he was both right and wrong.

    Summary

    "You stole Zara Renata's executioner?"

    Rook fidgeted under her friend's gaze. Unsure what the response here was (this was her first kidnapping, unintentional as it may be), she gave a small shrug and settled for a small, "Oops?"

    --

    Or in a timeline where Solas never set out to tear down the Veil, how things might play out for a small rebel group in Minrathous where a Hunger demon ends up helping out.

    Or at what point is the delulu too strong? When you've created an alternative AU of your own AU?

    Summary

    Dorian Pavus was a master of many things - fashion, magic, charm, debate, ruining a family dinner- but he excelled at nothing so much as he excelled at enduring.
    Oh, he complained about it. Endlessly and with extreme gusto. If he was forced to endure a constant state of discomfort, he was determined to share the wealth. Misery loved company after all. But Dorian was intimately aware of the things he was capable of surviving. Violence enacted on him, body and soul, since childhood, by the world and by himself. But Maker be damned if he was going to stay silent about it.

    ~*~

    During a mission in the Hinterlands, Dorian is injured. The Inquisitor tends to him, and Dorian begins to realize that maybe he doesn't understand as much about Mathalin Lavellan as he thought.
