    Summary

    Ellana Lavellan is one of two apprentices to her clan’s Keeper, and not the most skillful of the pair. She expects to be sent away after failing to earn a place as First, but when she stumbles upon an ancient shrine to Fen’Harel and inadvertently summons the Dread Wolf himself, she finds in him a wealth of powerful, forgotten magics. He’ll teach her, if she makes a suitable offering: herself.

    Ellana returns to the shrine again and again, summoning Fen’Harel to teach her more, but time works differently on the other side of the eluvian; centuries pass for him while only weeks go by for her. As she grows to know him as Solas, she discovers that the Creators are not the benevolent deities she believed them to be, and that the Dread Wolf is a man she can love.

    What comfort can a mere Dalish mage offer a rebel god? More than either of them ever expected.

    Summary

    “Is that the full strength of your conviction?” Elgar'nan teased, grabbing both of Solas’s wrists with just one hand. His bronze-skinned muscles looked deliciously magnificent next to Solas’s black colour and skinny pale limbs, so Elgar’nan spelled his robes away with a thought. Naked flesh against cold armor—and him still the greatest force between the two. “Go on, keep trying. You might persuade me yet.”

    “You are such a child,” Solas snapped, flushed from exertion and entirely out of breath. He tried to squirm out of Elgar’nan’s grasp, bucking his hips ineffectually. “You cannot solve all your problems through sheer brute force.”

    —

    Back in ancient Arlathan, when Elgar’nan is on the precipice of declaring himself god, he and Solas clash over what constitutes good leadership.

    They argue about it. And also fuck about it.

     

    Update: Now with a second chapter! Mythal lays down the law. In her own way.

    Summary

    “But you didn’t,” Rook cuts in, and Morinne takes a steadying sip of her wine. “I mean, you were never one of his agents, you never joined him.”

    I wanted to, I tried, I sought him out to join even years later, Morinne thinks, but bites her tongue. No one wants to hear how the heroic Inquisitor, legend of the long gone Inquisition, left the world to burn in the name of love.

    “No, it was always a bit more complicated than that.”

    ---

    It hurt for ten years. It doesn't have to for much longer. The ritual goes wrong, blights threaten the world, and still, love remains.

    A continuation of Requited, connected to Letters We Should've Sent, but no spoilers for either - this fic stands on its own and is intended to see the love story through to its end in the Fade.

    Summary

    “We will save our friend from himself, if we can.”

    Inquisitor Morinne Lavellan must steel herself to confront the man who left her, took her arm, and threatens to end the world they know. Those that still believe in her are convinced she’s the only one who might be able to convince him to stop - but what if the Inquisitor’s allegiances aren’t quite as strong as they used to be?

    Eager to restore his People, Solas leads an army of elves that grows stronger every day. But when it comes time to directly confront those he once called friends, some of his agents begin to question if he truly has the stomach to see this grim duty through to the end.

    Then an unlikely Grey Warden enters the game after witnessing Solas’ machinations firsthand, drawing the attention of Viscount Tethras. It earns Rook the job of a lifetime: put down the Dread Wolf once and for all… no matter who gets in her way.

    Eventually they must learn that sometimes, terrible choices are all that remain.
