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
He holds her old, knotty fingers in his immaculate, young and strong ones, clasped together in a bizarre shell. It's her he wants to look at, only her he sees, her expression full of awe and wonder, like that of a child discovering the taste of sweets for the first time, mesmerised by the playful dance of the wind among the fragrant bouquets above her.
The one where Lavellan gets old and Solas does not.

Summary
Five years have passed since Solas revealed his true identity to Inquisitor Lavellan. Five years of silent war between them, and five years in which they've been unable to keep their distance.
Determined to stop Solas' devastating plan to tear down the Veil, Lavellan has discovered a highly effective method of extracting vital information from the Dread Wolf.
Then, one night, terrible news reaches Fen'harel. News that could shake him to his core and unravel his carefully laid plans.
News about a wedding.
*
This can be considered a sequel to "May you learn" (smutty oneshot) due to its similar leitmotif, but it is a standalone story and doesn't need to be read in sequence :)

Summary
After Crestwood, Lavellan seems to have taken the break-up with Solas a little too well. He wonders if their love meant anything to her, but in the end, it turns out that she was just plotting her sweet revenge.
10,000 words of sexual tension, Solas on his knees begging, Solas crawling, sad post-break-up sex and a long, long smut. Yes, I'm very normal about this.
There are also some very sweet lines in there - well hidden.
