Summary
We were twenty-something kids on rigged-up motorbikes, drunk on gin, adrenaline, and each other.
The city was our playground, the night belonged to us. We were too high, too hard, too wrapped up in the taste of each other's mouths to notice the bodies piling up in our wake.
Cassandra's voice on the burner phone every morning was the only thing that still felt like a leash.
"Remember why you're there, Agent."
Yeah, yeah. I remembered. I'd read the files until my eyes bled: kids turning blue in alleys, mothers selling wedding rings for one more rock, entire neighbourhoods hollowed out.
I'd been so fucking righteous once. Ready to burn the Evanuris to the ground with my own two hands.
Then I started living it.
With him.
And somewhere between the blood on my knuckles and the way he moaned my name when he came undone, the mission got fuzzy.
_____
An undercover agent infiltrates the Evanuris syndicate by getting close to its sharpest, cruelest prodigy.
Guess who the prodigy is.
Guess who starts fucking him anyway.
Guess how fast things go to shit. -

Summary
Ellana Lavellan wrote the novel that shook the world: The Fall of the Evanuris, a haunting work of fiction inspired by the true story of drug lords so deluded, they named themselves after ancient gods.
It became a global phenomenon. A bestseller. A blockbuster. Then, a Nugflix smash hit. Fame, fortune, endless interviews.
She hates all of it.
Seven years later, burned out and creatively empty, Ellana retreats to her hometown in search of something real—maybe even herself.
But fate has a dark sense of humour.
Because tucked away in a quiet bookshop at the edge of the city is Solas—the man whose real-life tragedy she turned into bestselling fiction. The man she portrayed as a tragic antihero. The man who lived the betrayal, the blood, the fall.
And he is not a fan.
(Also, isn’t it a little suspicious that he runs a bookshop by day, and works in a club by night?)

Summary
They tore down false gods. They burned an empire to ash.
Now all that remains is each other.
Felassan offers Solas one gift: a winter away. A reprieve, he promises. A season to heal, to forget, to remember.
Snow buries the cabin, and inside its walls they chase the shape of their love—tangled on a couch too small for two, kissing until the fire burns low, then slipping outside to watch the stars wheel overhead. For a while, the world falls away, and the cabin is enough.
But the past is a living thing—and when buried, it returns. Always. In stranger roots.
A story of tenderness and ruin—of two men who love each other fiercely, even as that love slips through their hands. Even as it tears them apart.
Set 7 years before the events of Some Lies You Print. Some You Bury.

Summary
Sera plays one prank too many on Solas—and he can't help himself. What starts as harmless mischief spirals into an all-out prank war with... unexpected consequences. Now it’s up to Varric (the charming mediator) and Cassandra (the no-nonsense Seeker) to piece together what in the Void just happened.
Things will get... silly. Then serious. Then worse.

Summary
After a brutal battle, Solas retreats into the depths of a forest, gravely wounded, resigned to die alone. But it isn't his time yet. An elven widow—mother of three—finds him barely clinging to life. Against all reason, she brings the stranger into her home, and slowly, gently, begins to put him back together. Piece by piece. Day by day. In a cottage tucked away from the world’s dangers, a place of peace, quiet and solace. Until she lets the wolf in.
An Alternate Universe where Lavellan is not the Inquisitor, and Solas is still the same bad liar (only-by-omission!), intent on tearing down the Veil.

Summary
Felassan wanted Solas from the very instant that he laid eyes upon him.
The general was - delicious. There was no other word for it. He stood on the dais in the training yard, delivering orders to the assembled officers, and his thighs shone like the sun in that beautiful golden armour. Felassan's eyes locked on the curve of those thighs and would not let go.
***
Felassan and Solas started a rebellion together, and then Solas left Felassan behind. Felassan waits for him. But the centuries pass, and Solas doesn't wake, and Felassan can't hold on to his love alone.

Summary
A spirit is called from the world that dreams into the world that wakes. He is given the name Solas, and then he is told to forget he ever was a spirit at all. He grows up as the son of a washerwoman, a servant of Mythal the All-Mother, and knows no life but the life of the incarnated. Until his brother is kidnapped by Andruil, on the hunt for fresh blood to feed her Champion's vile experiments. Solas attempts to petition Mythal for his brother's release, but is offered an alternative instead: work for the Mother of the Evanuris, rise through the ranks, and gain enough power to free his brother himself. But unknown to him, and to the other Evanuris, history is being nudged (or perhaps shoved), and Solas will soon find himself in the position to change the course of Elvhenan forever.
Note as of 31/10/2024: This fic does not follow Veilguard’s established backstory for Solas, as it was drafted and outlined (but not written) much earlier than the game’s release.

Summary
After nearly three hundred years of elven independence, 2:09 Glory saw the attack on Red Crossing ignite the mounting tensions between the Dirthavaren and the Chantry, resulting in an Exalted March against the Dales that would shake the foundations of Thedas for centuries to come.
Perhaps, though, history can be re-written, if a rebel and a knight can wake the Dread Wolf six hundred years ahead of schedule.

Summary
Mihir's Keeper tells her fireflies are unafraid of the burn of their lanterns because they steal from the licks of light to scare off pests and perils of the night. She's never felt their kin, prone to shadows as she is. She prefers the comforts of the Fade. She met the Dread Wolf there.
He taught her all she knows about the world before leaving one day, without a word. His return, now, comes with an ask: to help him retrieve a magical relic he calls the orb. Mihir, forever starved for approval, agrees without a moment's consideration.
Her Keeper, unaware of the relationship Mihir built with the Dread Wolf in the Fade, sends Firra, her soon to-be husband, with them as safeguard.
They wend through woods familiar to Firra, unfamiliar to her. The journey forces revelations Mihir has never wanted to face regarding her own nature. Still, she perseveres in hopes that she may return to her clan as the First they deserve.
