    Summary

    „There was ice in his aura, and fire in his eyes.”

    Far removed from the conflicts between the land-dwelling folk, Selkie has travelled the high seas on her family ship, the Tidedancer, all her life. Nobody ever knew that her mysterious powers were what had made the infamous pirate vessel uncatchable. Or did they?

    When the Tidedancer is attacked by a Tevinter battleship, the young mage can do nothing to avert disaster. Ship-wrecked, frightened and voiceless, she wakes up in a cave on the harsh Storm Coast. Alone, but not for long. She is soon picked up by Inquisitor Alec Trevelyan and his merry band of companions, who bring her to Skyhold for protection.

    Selkie is determined to survive her losses. To keep the secrets she was never supposed to tell. To heed the lessons her fathers had taught her: Do not trust outsiders. Especially templars. Former or otherwise. Ah, but when do plans ever work out the way they should?

    Summary

    A follow up to my Cullen/Amell saga to get Alistair some attention and love.

    Alistair's life isn't all bad. He's King, he's got two kids he adores a wife he's vaguely aware exists. The only thing missing in that blissful domestic picture is someone to love. But all in all, things are weirdly working out for him.

    That all changes when assassins dare to come after him and his children on the little prince's naming day. With a threat daring to be so brash to attack the King, he takes on a personal bodyguard. Picked seemingly at random from the City Watch, Reiss thought she was little more than an average elf trying to make it in thedas. Now it's all on her to keep the King alive against this enigmatic threat, and try to ignore the fact she keeps blushing whenever he smiles.
