    Summary

    Once, back in Kirkwall, Cullen had an arrangement with a member of the city guard that satisfied his needs. But time changed all things, and he despaired of ever finding a similar arrangement again - that was, until he met The Iron Bull. Problem being that Bull seemed to care far more about sorting out the nitty-gritty of such an arrangement than Cullen ever has.

    Exploring what could happen if the two characters in the inquisition who had the hardest breaks of religious faith found something to believe in with each other instead. Really good character work.

    Veritas Ratio V.S. The Universe by

    Summary

    Apocalypse: Star Rail might be the worst game Dr. Veritas Ratio has ever played. In what world is murdering half the known universe for no reason even remotely reasonable? What kind of game kills off its most compelling characters just for shock value?

    Also, why is he now in the game — and as a damn NPC, out of all things?


    【 Activation Code: “Moronic developers, moronic game.” It is our sincere wish that during your time, you can fulfill your desires and, in accordance with your wish, transform a piece of moronic work into a magnificent, high-quality, first-rate classic. Bound Role: Unnamed male NPC of the Veritas Prime star system, age 0. 】

    【 Congratulations! Welcome to Apocalypse: Star Rail, version ██! 】


    Well. If these idiot developers can’t take constructive criticism, Veritas might as well construct the criticism himself… by forcibly inserting himself into a plot where he’s never existed.

    Veritas Ratio V.S. The Universe by cakecats (WorkID: 55458112)

    Summary: Veritas glances around for an opening, eyes settling on the flowy-clothed guest from before. Assuming they are a humanoid, the guest is a significant amount shorter than Veritas, leaning against the wall as they watch the instruments play themselves in the air, champagne flute clutched, unmoving, between their fingers. It may be a gamble, but —

    “Would you do me a favor of a dance?” he asks with a bow, extending one hand.

    Halo Effect by Alex51324 (SeriesID: 1435963#bookmark-form)

    Summary:

    The Halo Effect is the tendency for a positive impression in one area to produce a more generous or optimistic interpretation of ambiguous information in other areas.

    When Thomas rescues Lady Mary from the nefarious attentions of Turkish houseguest Kemal Pamuk, his employers and coworkers begin to see him differently...and Things Get Better.

    A Season One AU diverging from canon in Episode 3, The One Where The Turkish Gentleman Dies in Mary's Bed.

    Shatter Together by thepartyresponsible (SeriesID: 1570099)

    Summary: Summary

    “Are you telling me,” Jason says, slowly, “that you’re some kind of charity case hitman? You work on a sliding scale? What the hell?”

    “I just figure,” he says, hands in the pockets of his stupid purple hoodie, “that a lot of people need someone killed. And the more someone’ll pay to have it done, the less those people usually deserve to die. So, two hundred’s fine. I eat, you know? What else do I need?”

    Clint Barton and Jason Todd making it through.
