Summary
Alone, they are like the right and left hands, which need no conversation to know which holds the knife and which the rope, to know who chops and who steadies. But you can deny your body’s instinctive response to nearly anything, she has learned, once you get into the habit of it.
_____________________
An injury, a small room and a narrow bed, a drop into the Fade; the thing that happens when the instinct for protection turns to fear.

Summary
“The things your body does to me, Morinne,” he growls the words, wild with smoke and need, “there’s nothing I would deny you. For you, vhenan, I would give and give and give.”
---
His pride longs to lay claim to her, to show she's his. It's the smoke that makes it easier to admit.

Summary
“Oh, come now,” he says. Creators, but he does sound drunk, or at least well on the way; there is a lightness to his voice, as finely and subtly effervescent as the drink in his hand, a warm and ringing little note of mischief in every other syllable that sends a surprising thrill of skin-prickling delight up Mihnaven’s spine. He plucks a second glass from a tray left nearby and tilts it towards her. “The food and drink, at least, are excellent.”
--
Solas persuades Mihnaven to try a frilly little Orlesian cake at the Winter Palace.

Summary
She would be ruthless with him, too, if he asked for it; he wants to envelop her within his arms again, bury his face in the crook of her neck and ask her to take, but the lightest pressure of her hand holds him back, as if she knows what he would like to do.
--
Solas fingers Mihnaven on the rotunda desk.

Summary
Lavellan goes down. Hard.
Solas does everything within his power to save her.
—
“Scared.” Magic was readied over her muscles. Harpists’ fingers. Daggers. “Tired.”
“Both will pass. As will the pain. I’m sorry—we are running out of time. I’m sorry to force you alive, vhenan, but in all of existence, there has never been a life like yours. I won’t surrender you to something so common as death. Live. Learn why.” The skin under Elanna’s teeth flexed; whatever it was had tendons beneath. “Bite instead of screaming. Never stop thinking. Dareth shiral.”
Every bone burst out of her body.

Summary
There would be a new Divine, this Cassandra knew. That she could be the successor is not something she had ever considered. Or wanted.
