Phoenix [DISCONTINUED] by cipherninethousand

Summary
In the time since Senator Amidala's death, her faithful handmaidens have scattered to the winds. Despite doing no wrong, someone has begun to hunt Sabé and her sisters, forcing her to flee Naboo. There is something deeper here, something that wants all traces of hope gone. She won't let them take her.
I began writing this before the Queen's Shadow announcement, and since then I haven't really had much interest in finishing it simply due to my fear of accidentally copying E.K. Johnston's book.

Sleepless Nights by cipherninethousand
Fandom Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age II, Dragon Age: Inquisition
06 Jun 2023
Summary
This story starts in the wrong place. Stories are supposed to have a beginning, the hero should win the day, collecting a heart in the process. Reality is rarely so kind. Those stories carve out a hundred sleepless nights in their wake, aching, tormenting to those who were there. The Hero of Ferelden, the Champion, the Inquisitor. Their stories are brilliant. But at what cost?
Various stories about my Valeria Amell, Moira Hawke and Maggie Trevelyan.

Summary
“I think it’s too late anyways. I think I’ve already painted you both on my heart. And I’m terrified.”
Dana Laidir has never been one to deny herself the things she wants. Not after going from slavery to servitude to the well-intentioned but overbearing adolescent years in the care of her adoptive aunts and uncles. Not when she’s spent adulthood perfecting how to obtain the things or people she most desires. But what she finds herself wanting the most, who she finds herself wanting, is not so easy to obtain. It’s more than the fleeting lust or desire she’s familiar with, and she knows that should scare her.

Summary
Jobless in Antiva after finding himself in the middle of a fabricated scandal, Emmrich falls on hard times. He can't get another teaching position in Antiva, moving back to Nevarra would be a nightmare, and no one wants to hire someone his age. After months of not receiving a response to any of his applications, he's starting to lose hope and feel like a burden for taking up Bellara's guest room without being able to pay his share of the rent.
Until a mysterious letter slips through the mail slot one stormy night, with nothing but his name written across the back in beautiful calligraphy and a purple wax seal on the front depicting a crow in flight, holding a dagger in one talon and a human skull in the other.

Summary
Lucanis was once the best agent in all of Antiva.
A name that made dictators quake, now reduced to a campus guard who kicked the coffee machine whenever it ate his coins. Each night he wandered the empty halls of Nevarran University, torch in hand, resigned to another dull shift with only the shadows, and Spite, for company. Until one night, a thin strip of light bled from beneath an office door.
Professor Emmrich Volkarin, PhD. Parapsychology. Titles meant little to Lucanis, but staff hours were staff hours. He slipped a reminder note under the door and carried on, only to find, on his next loop, that the professor had left him a reply.

Summary
Oh, how much can change in four months.
There, bent over Caterina’s bedside, a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles slipping down the bridge of his nose, is Emmrich. He looks up at the sound of the door, those bright hazel eyes reflecting nearby candlelight. Surprise widens his gaze, but in an instant, as recognition takes hold, every feature softens. He smiles for Lucanis and it’s so good to see that Lucanis’ knees grow watery beneath his weight, threatening to give out entirely. He could weep for relief at the sight. That near-need to collapse morphs quickly into something else as Lucanis’ leg muscles twitch, convulsing with a sudden urge to run toward Emmrich, a jerky start and stop motion, a single, stumbling step. His heart leaps and Lucanis suddenly can’t breathe.
