Summary
Frustration gets the better of him, colouring his words, “There must be something, it’s the only place I haven’t looked–”
“The only reason thou would’st have to venture to the Mountaintop is to seek the flame of ruin. And what reason for that, if not to kindle the Erdtree?”
“I’m explicitly trying to find other ways!”
“Or dost thou seek process of elimination, until thou can convince me burning is the only way?” Margit accuses, and Haydn’s mouth snaps shut. In the knife-wound of the words, and worse – in the chime of truth.
As a solution to the Erdtree's thorns becomes increasingly hopeless, the Tarnished takes drastic measures - and Morgott in turn, takes some of his own.

Summary
“The Omen condition,” he starts carefully, “the curse, is ill-documented, but in short it is a bestial biology. It comes with certain drawbacks.”
Tarnished’s voice takes on a somewhat worried quality, “Is this about when we last spoke? I meant what I said–” but hushes when Margit holds up a hand.
“Not that.” When Tarnished assured him that this affection was not simple novelty, morbid curiosity about a creature more beast than man. Morgott is still not sure he believes the words, pretty though they were. But he’s dwelled on it long enough anyway. “I mean to explain that this curse is much more than skin-deep. There are certain behaviours that are also animal. And… urges,” his amber gaze flicks over to the Tarnished, watching hawk-like for any signs of revulsion, “of the physical kind.”
On advice, Morgott finally (technically) takes Tarnished to bed in the hopes of sating a need and quelling his attachment. But Mohg's word is NEVER to be trusted.

Summary
With the remnants of a grave city about, there are various stone coffins scattered amidst the opaque lake. Most are badly damaged, but there is a relatively intact one balanced just at the waterfall’s edge. Margit watches, eyebrow cocked, as the Tarnished sidles up to and examines it thoughtfully.
Then climbs inside.
Margit is half way across the water before he’s actually thought to move. He bounds the distance and lays hands upon the coffin’s rim just as its occupant moves to pull the heavy lid across the top, looming in horned silhouette. “Hwhat,” he says sharply, extra syllables and all, “art thou doing.”
Margit helps Tarnished traverse a waterfall. But during respite from the chill dark, things get a little... out of hand.

Summary
He finally addresses the rest of the court. “This sham of a symposium is over. When this court next convenes I expect it to conduct itself with some actual decorum. Thou art dismissed.”
Haydn expects that he will also be ordered to scurry away with the rest of the courtiers, but there are still fingers pinching the back of his neck. Once the room is cleared he wriggles free like an eel, sour in countenance at his argument being interrupted. “It wasn’t petty drama, I’ll have you know.”
“If thou’rt to cause me a diplomatic incident,” the monarch hisses back, “the least thou could do is speak to me with proper respect.”
“Your majesty,” Haydn returns acidly with a shallow bow, and turns to leave. He yelps as he’s summarily seized about the back of the neck again, “Stop manhandling me!”
“Would that thou were not in need of handling, little man,” is the growled reply.
The Tarnished who would be Elden Lord faces his most annoying enemy yet: Leyndell's court of nobles. The last thing he needs is to develop a covert admiration for the enigmatic (and scornful) King Morgott - but events at the Serpent-Sunder festival will change everything.

Summary
Haydn gestures fruitlessly, any eloquence escaping him. “This used to be… easy. And now it’s not easy. I can’t think what I’ve done or said to warrant this cold shoulder I’m getting, so if you could just tell me instead of making me guess, I’d really appreciate it.”
The directness seems to put the Omen on the spot. “That – it is – there is no upset.”
He heaves a sigh, “Come on, don’t do this to me. I’d apologise if I knew what I was apologising for. Just tell me.”
Margit looks at him.
“Thou art too attached,” he says at last.
Tarnished wants to be closer to Margit the Fell, while Margit wants to keep the faith-shaking distraction at arm's length. But a botched attempt to infiltrate Volcano Manor will throw both their plans into disarray.

Summary
Slow burn romance between Morgott, heretic king who thrives off religious guilt, and Haydn the Tarnished knight, who's subtly trying to woo Margit the Fell. Likely to have further canon divergence from ER's plot as the series progresses.

Summary
Follows the 'arrangement' between Ciardha Hawke and Orsino after the First Enchanter trades himself for Hawke's political alliance. All stories contain dubious consent/reluctance, humiliation, plus numerous other fetishes.
Also contains a few side stories of the other people Ciardha sleeps with, which is basically everyone he can get his hands on.

Summary
The ongoing explicit exploits of Fenris and Garrett Hawke, who definitely has a misplaced Qunari somewhere in his lineage. All stories contain slash and size kink.
Also note, this deviates slightly from the in-game romance in that the cut-and-run one night stand never happened. Hawke is a leisurely-paced sort, so it was a more gradual build-up over the three years instead.
