Summary
"All at once, every version of Hawke opened his eyes and gave Varric a heavy-lidded look.
His dark eyes rich. Arresting.
And every version of Varric held his breath.
Arrested.
Andraste, an inner voice sighed. Sighed it low, and long, and shuddering, even as the air in Varric's throat stilled, unmoving. Andraste, I..."
-
Before the Deep Roads expedition, at the height of a wild party, Varric has a drunken one-night stand with his best pal Ovide Hawke. It’s not a big deal. It doesn’t have to be a big deal.
So why can’t Varric let it go?

Summary
"The people of the Inquisition pressed in further. Hawke glanced at Varric, and Varric saw—in the subtle movements of his eyes, brow, and mouth—that Hawke could read his desperate terror.
And Hawke—
The finest man Varric had ever known— The best friend Varric had ever had— The person Varric loved most in the world— The absolute bastard—
Hawke winked at him."
-
The Champion of Kirkwall arrives at Skyhold, and Varric can't let him leave again. Not without telling him how he feels.
Featuring a sly Iron Bull, a suspicious Vivienne, a star-struck Seeker of Truth, the first time Varric and Cole meet, and other cameos.

Summary
**Currently abandoned.**
A story of three strands:
In the three years since his most audacious act, Asra keeps a journal. In it, he records everything the apprentice ever told him about their past, in the desperate hope that they'll one day be well enough to read it.
When the ache is too much to bear, Asra travels alone. It's only when he's put enough physical distance between him and his apprentice that he lets himself remember what he's lost, to feel the depth of his longing.
And Muriel? Muriel never learned how to deny Asra anything in his power to give, no matter how much it costs him. Whenever Asra needs him, Muriel's there. Whenever Asra leaves the city, Muriel enters and, slowly, gets to know someone he's spent the last six years resenting.

Summary
**Currently abandoned.**
'Merula couldn’t say how long they sat there, looking at each other. All she knew was that she felt the world narrowing, narrowing down, until the only thing that existed in the whole of the world was a pair of dark eyes that seemed to open and give way under her own—'
-
When Bill invited Merula to spend her entire Christmas break with his family at the behest of his parents, he failed to mention that her biggest rival would be joining them for Christmas and Boxing Day. It was only two days--they've had to train together for months, already--what could possibly happen?

He had a habit of pinching her the minute her back was turned, and snickering as she whirled around snarling, but always too slow, never quick enough to heap punishment on his head. He said he liked making her angry.

Summary
A few months after the Inquisition is formally disbanded, Vivienne finds herself dealing with the consequences of Divine Victoria's decision to abolish the Circle of Magi and Templar Order. Desperate to keep the Montsimmard Circle alive, she turns to an unlikely ally: the irritating, confounding, and distressingly handsome Blackwall.
But Vivienne is no fairytale maid. And he is no gallant knight, wrapped up in shining, silver armor.
And they both deserve more.
