    Summary

    It was easy enough to get multiple things done at once: charm the troops, pull their loyalty closer, get to know her men, and fulfill the castle’s quest. After all, Skyhold has a mind of its own. It also has a heart. Lavellan, a little lovelorn, a little distant, homesick and missing her family very badly, gets guided back into the fold.

    Summary

    Solas drives Adan and Minaeve crazy, and it's his bathing habits that finally break them both.

    The spiritual, non-sexy sequel to Salt, Flesh, Heat: Adan is not nearly as appreciative an audience as Iron Bull.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    “That is all well and good,” she finally says. “But do you have any citations for this—assertion? Because I do need to justify any shift in practice. But if you can provide the text,” she spreads her arms out, “by all means, I’ll discuss it with Mistress Valima and see if shifting our approach is useful.”

    The apostate flares his nostrils in one short breath like an angry horse. Got ‘im, Adan thinks. The apostate bites off, “I saw it in the Fade.”

    Minaeve says, “Yes. But can you replicate it here? So other people can see? Under the material conditions of reality?”

    Summary

    Ginny and Charlie come up with a get-rich-quick scheme, where he smuggles pygmy dragons to her and she raises them in the unknown backyard garden of Grimmauld Place. She's raised chickens before, so it can't be that hard, right? Right?

    Summary

    First Lavellan, Imladris Ashallin, thought that her audience with the Divine against templars' harassment of Dalish mages would be a token protest, and that her people would use it to draw the city elves closer to the Vir Tanadahl. She didn't think her Keeper's calculations would catapult her to the top of the Chantry's leadership, manipulating the powers of Thedas to leave her people be.

    Meanwhile, Briala foments revolution in Halamshiral, using the eluvian network to sabotage the armies of Orlais. A new movement erupts in the Dales, and elves across Thedas look at this so-called "Herald of Andraste" and see Mythal's vallaslin. Fiona breaks the chains of mages across Thedas, and Fenris starts whispers of a new age in Tevinter--one where the slaves throw down their masters. A new age is coming, and all of Thedas look to Lavellan to usher it in.

    Summary

    Bull notices that Solas is a deeply sensual person, reveling in clean clothes, good-smelling herbs, and hot water. He's also deeply masochistic. When the two find themselves enjoying the baths one early morning in Skyhold, Bull decides to press. Solas decides to play along.

    Summary

    Dorian has a wonderful conversation with the Skyhold Librarian about improvements to the library's filing system and the innovations coming out of Minrathous when Vivienne comes by and points out he's just talking to himself. He's been waxing rhapsodic about the Tevinter equivalent of the Dewey decimal system to a spirit--or maybe a demon. So clearly they must go and investigate.

    Featuring Solas singing to keep time as he paints a very time-sensitive fresco, a small child whose name Dorian just can't get right, and a spirit of Wonder.

    Summary

    In the astrarium cave in the Storm Coast with Inquisitor Lavellan, Cole, and Solas, Sera opens a chest and finds a beautiful bow, named the Bane of Red Crossing. But what is the Bane of Red Crossing? According to the codex: "Ser Yves de Chevac used this bow in the Exalted March against the Dales – specifically, in the liberation of Val Royeaux, where the chevalier famously struck down the elven forces' commander with a shot to the throat at two hundred feet."

    Lavellan is not pleased, but does not know how to communicate effectively with Sera. Cole and Solas make it worse.

    Sometimes there is no adequate resolution, when you are faced with the instrument of your great-grandparents' destruction. Sometimes there is nothing that disinterested compassion can say.

    Summary

    Alistair runs into an older elven woman on the battlements, watching the children play in the Skyhold courtyard below. They get to talking: isn't it nice that the mages get to keep their children now? Then, in the course of the conversation, Alistair figures it out.

    Alistair says, “I always wondered. What my life would’ve been like, if she could’ve kept me. I always kinda knew she didn’t have a choice. King’s bastards are the king’s, not whoever carried them. If she were a servant and if I’d end up in the kitchens or, better yet, the dairy. I really like cheese. But if she were a mage, I guess we never had any of that. Unless she ran away.”

    Summary

    Varric tries his hand at a more literary Bildungsroman about his youth as a Kirkwall bohemian. Bianca tears it apart, editing for his own good. Sometimes love is in the margins, your almost ex-girlfriend telling you--I wasn't that pretty, when I was that young.

    Summary

    Dukat reads Pride and Prejudice to help him understand human relations (and fuck the Sisko). He thinks he’s being Darcy but really, he’s just Mr. Collins…and evil.

    Garak lends him a copy of Jane Austen and a horrific cravat, and really, it's all downhill from there.

    Summary

    Was prompted by ToasterBonanza to write about Kira Nerys repatriating an artifact sacred to Bajor from Cardassia, and this is what we got!

    The Shakaar cell leads a procession after Cardassia returns the Orb of Contemplation to Bajor, to collective joy. Kai Opaka says, "So I say to you my people, the survivors of atrocity and keepers of the wormhole—the Prophets cried for you millennia before you were made. They sent their Tears from their temple as a safeguard as to what was to come. And now that it is safe, now that we have won—their Tears are for all."

    Featuring Latha having an Orb experience, explaining why he became a vedek.

    Summary

    In the Skyhold gardens, in Adamant's wake, Solas meets Loghain.

    A character study of two trickster-kings, speaking a little too honestly.

    As Loghain himself says, "The past is always with us. It’s in our bones and our blood and we wear it on our skin. You can think otherwise, but you’ll never get far without it."

    Summary

    Summary

    Sylaise attempts to trademark the color blue, initiating a civil war. Fen'Harel disapproves. Felassan, at this point, is just along for the ride.

    Highlights include: Andruil attempts to create biological weapons out of the conquered children of the stone and sell them to absolutely everyone, Mythal may or may not be involved, Solas greatly disapproves, and everyone wants to kill Fen'Harel for disapproving. Also an explanation as to why Solas has to think before answering Sera on whether he has ever pissed magic by accident.

    Sorta a love story, sorta a comedy, sorta a story about political intrigue--but hey, Solas said Arlathan was even worse than Orlais!

    A big thank you to potatowitch and isomede for talking me through this and getting me to finish it--and for giving me the best ideas for it.

    Summary

    Josephine and Leliana both admit the night they met ended with someone's smallclothes pinned to the Chanter's Board--but what happened right before?

    Josephine says, “I have played the Game before, and understand its cutthroat stakes. But I must admit, I never thought I would witness the opening salvo of a coup at the most boring sex party of all Orlais.”
