    Summary

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a simple fetch and drop, with a little stop off in Llomeryn along the way for supplies. Crucial ones, like lacy underthings and a wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun from sensitive elven ears.
    But then, of course, magic had to get involved and my bloody ship was stuck in three feet of ice in the middle of a Rivaini summer.

    Next time, my fee is going to be double.

    The story though, odd as it was, only costs a few coppers worth of spirit wine and an hour of your precious time.

    Summary

    “You,” said Hawke, “are Varric fucking Tethras, bestselling author, badass rogue, charming son of a bitch. You’ve fought dragons. You’ve helped save Kirkwall, your home—“

    “Save is a strong word.”

    “—and you deserve happiness just as much as anyone else.”

     
    Varric joins the inquisition, saves the world, and falls in love. Not necessarily in that order.

    As a prisoner of the Inquisition, Samson is forced to work with the arcanist. He isn't expecting a dwarf. Certainly not one that is so incessantly cheerful.

    Rewrite the Stars by

    Fandom: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect: Andromeda

    28 Sep 2023

    Summary

    A Shakarian romance that goes above & beyond (or at least before & after) what we were given in the games - including eventually into Andromeda. Some canon, some AU - the characters don't always follow the arc they were given. This is my take on my favorite romance. Enjoy!

    Title inspired the theme and was inspired by the song from The Greatest Showman.

    **MATURE CONTENT WARNING** See individual works for specifics.

    **BioWare owns the games and the characters (minus a couple smalls OCs), I'm just reveling in the love they gave us**

    Summary

    Hawke’s spent an entire decade watching the city of Kirkwall go to shit. When Anders enlists her help making an explosive statement against an increasingly oppressive Templar presence, she's all in without question. But life on the run begins to lead them down a catastrophic path, and when Anders takes a reckless decision into his own hands, Hawke has to make a difficult choice that comes with a life altering set of consequences.

    Her marriage is hanging by a thread. Old ghosts resurface at every turn, and help comes from the unlikeliest of places. All she has to do is learn to look past the person offering it.

    The clock is ticking. Anders is a dead man walking. She’s determined to keep him alive.

    Inspired by the album Feel.Love.Thinking.Of by Faunts.

    Lovingly beta'd by ladymdc and laraslandlockedblues.
