    Summary

    And Felix is right that Dimitri has a duty to find a queen, produce an heir, even though he wishes to let the foolish business of Crests and lineages stay buried with the other casualties of war.

    So Dimitri squares his shoulders. Let him be next to marry, then.

    ---

    The business of ruling is a heartless one. And Dimitri has always been known to put his duty above his heart.

    Summary

    “There are two people I can think of who might know anything,” Lavellan said. “Experts - on the Fade, on the history of elvhenan. Unfortunately,” a grimace, “one of them has vanished, and if all the resources of the Inquisition can’t find him, I doubt you can.”

    “And the other?” Fenris demanded.

    “Something from my own history, for once. Not an Inquisition thing. There is - a criminal,” said Lavellan. “Exiled from the clans. She was the blood mage who murdered Clan Sabrae and its Keeper. Last I heard she was living in Kirkwall. A very dangerous woman - possibly insane, actually - but I met her once at Arlathven, and if anyone could help you -”

    Merrill?

    Summary

    This is the truth: Hawke has too much power over him and he's scared of running from one master to the next.

    And this is the sad, pathetic truth: Fenris is too broken to know how to be what Hawke deserves.

    Summary

    “You keep doing this,” he says, accusing.

    Artemy doesn’t look away, eyes chasing the faintest movement of Daniil’s, as though wanting to pin him in place like a beetle. “Doing what.”

    Daniil’s gloved hand moves as if on its own accord, and traces a line up his throat, jaw, the side of his face and ear. To map him out, commit to memory. Ascertain that he’s real. That he’s here.

    Daniil whispers, “Bringing me back.”

    Or: Daniil learns to just live.
