Summary
Dorian had initially found himself surprised at how beautiful Ferelden is in the autumn. Far colder than should be allowed, certainly, but beautiful, with honeyed sunlight streaming down through the red and gold canopy. One didn't get anything like it in Tevinter, which was always lush and green, and knew few seasons: hot, wet, or hot and wet.
He isn't finding it so beautiful now that he's in the middle of nowhere, in the dark, and trying to sleep on ground so cold and hard that it surely must be frozen. Autumn, he thinks grimly, is clearly an inferior southern invention and should be banished.
--
Flirting and magic tricks while sitting at a campfire.
Set between In Hushed Whispers and In Your Heart Shall Burn.

Summary
You tell Jake stories about yourself, where you got your name, edited so as not to scare him too much. You hope that someday you can tell him the real version. You play adventures with him, teaching him the skills he needs to survive outside the tower. You try to enjoy it, even though you know that your clock is ticking and you have so much left to do.

Summary
You have a dim, hazy memory of a body behind you, strong, shadowy arms around you, a voice in your ear. You imagine it now; a taller, heavier frame curved around you, the big spoon to your small. An arm around your chest, hand cupped over your heart. A voice murmuring behind you, breath stirring the fine hairs on the back of your neck as it murmurs, "Goodnight, my little prince."

Summary
"M-Mituna?!"
The name is out of your mouth before you can catch yourself. Of course it can't be him -- this is a kid, still gangly and his voice a little too reedy, still looking like he needed a sweep's worth of regular warm meals to look like anything other than a loosely assembled bag of coat hangers. This is a kid wearing his yellow and black, his symbol--
You gape at the past life memory sprawled before you.

Summary
Eridan's brows furrow upward as you brush past. He follows you in silence to your respiteblock, and when you hand him a shirt out of your closet, he frowns at it and picks at the buttons. "Kar? Is this..." He looks up at you, swallows hard, and drops his gaze. "Is this what I think it is?"
Your guts do a funny wobbly thing. "Yes, Eridan, that is indeed a shirt," you say in an attempt to lighten the suddenly uneasy mood.

Summary
Karkat has been acting strange lately -- calm, unflappable, and sometimes even smiling dreamily at nothing -- and while it's something of a respite from his usual yelling, it's gone on long enough the others are concerned. They make vague plans to find out just what the hell is going on, but John, as the only person who can still get under Karkat's skin, decides on a direct approach... and discovers some very interesting things indeed about his favorite shouty troll and his unnerving moirail.

Summary
During initiation, the older Threshecutioners told you tales about how Her Imperious Condescension (may she ever swim in glory) would test them during guard duty with will all sorts of flirting, usually black. Never take the bait, they warned you, because even if she does take a mere Threshie as a playmate, she usually breaks her toys.
That did not prepare you for her singling you out. It sure as hell didn’t prepare you for how.

Summary
You're almost seven years old when you learn that you're going to die.
When Grandpa brings her home, you don't realize she's you, at first. She's wearing pretty yellow dress like you wear when you're asleep and being your dream self, but she's so much taller, so much older, she can't be you. You don't even think to read the nameplate, you just blurt out, "Who was she, Grandpa?"
Grandpa tries to chuckle, but it comes out sad. "Well, my girl, she's going to be you!"

Summary
"I kind of... accidentally fantasized about Karkat while we were doing it. Which I do sometimes, not when we're messing around, just like-- uh, fuck, look, I'm--"
Terezi puts a finger over your lips and you stammer to a stop. She nestles closer and sighs happily. "You too, huh?"
You stare at the ceiling in bewilderment. Whatever response you were expecting, that was not it.

Summary
You spend the hours after you wake up pacing your hive, your stomach threatening to upturn and your bulge threatening to unsheathe. You're excited to the point that you're dripping with more than just sweat, yes, but you're also beyond nervous. Besides what you assume are the usual worries -- what if he doesn't show up, what if he takes one look at your butlerbot and is so unimpressed -- there's also the tiny little fact that you've never done any of this before.
At all.
