    Summary

    "If I let you in... if I truly let you in... it would destroy you."

    "I'm tougher than I look," Ellana said. She squeezed his hand. "Try me."

    The Breach is stable, but the Inquisitor is not. Between the politics of the Council and the blood of the Hinterlands, Ellana Lavellan finds herself seeking quiet in the rotunda. Solas is a puzzle of sage and old magic, a man who builds walls as quickly as he paints them. He offers wisdom, he offers tea, but he refuses to offer himself.

    A slow burn study of the quiet moments before the storm, the weight of the Anchor, and the inevitability of falling in love with a man who is already saying goodbye.

    Summary

    CONCLAVE CHAOS: ANDRASTE'S ASHES DESTROYED BY DALISH APOSTATE!

    Tragedy at the Temple of Sacred Ashes! All those in attendance for peace talks or pilgrimage - apostates and innocent faithful alike - were killed in an explosion that tore the very Veil with its violence. The Divine has been assassinated, our Lady's resting place obliterated by foul magic, and the bloodshed has unleashed demons across Thedas.

    A Dalish elf was found at the scene of the attack, wielding the same magic that desecrated the Temple. Through valiant efforts of the faithful at Haven, she was compelled to mitigate some of her vile act, and the Breach in the Veil was prevented from expanding.

    However, in grim news, the prisoner has escaped custody, aided by some sort of cult. Blood magic is not suspected, but cannot be ruled out - the prisoner is to be considered highly dangerous. Pursuit is ongoing. We keep faith that justice will be served.

    --Broadsheet pinned to Chantry board in Jader, 9:40, alongside a likeness of Conclave suspect.

    Summary

    Lavellan sometimes came awake from dreams in which her lover watched her sadly from across an endless distance. If they were more than simple dreams she could not say, for every time she reached for him, he vanished into nothing.

    ...but one night, she tires of reaching and instead shouts, Come here if you dare.

    Summary

    Morai has never been a woman given to shame. Perhaps it is the learned pride of a longtime First, or some inborn surety of her own, but she has always moved through the world upright and without apology for who she is; no alienage or Circle has ever taught her to bow her head. As unhappy as she had been with the suspicious looks in Haven and sneering whispers of Val Royeaux, still she met them with her chin raised, with her eyes up, with her stride easy and her shoulders straight.

    When she leaves Solas at the water's edge, her first instinct is to hide her face, and that fills her with such bitter rage that she nearly shakes with it.

    (placed in the series for chronology, but can be read as a standalone)

    Summary

    Solas had a lot of time to think and ruminate while trapped in his prison.

    ***

     

     

    “Why do you wish you had spoken to me, that day on the stony beach?” Her lips brushed his neck, and he could not bring himself to look towards her. Instead, he lost himself to the gentle sensation of her breath on his skin. “Is it because you wished to comfort your love, or because a woman who believed in your gentleness would hold onto that memory through years of evidence of your cruelty?”

    Summary

    A diversion from Veilguard, with Lavellan and some old friends returning to take up the hunt for Solas.

    Pretty quickly diverging from the canon. Rating may change as things progress. Spoiler Warnings etc.

    Quick Look:

    Dorian grimaced, “We’re not taking her back there. Tell me that’s not the plan. He’s painted himself into every wall of the place, it’s hers, but it’s not going to feel like it for a long time, if ever. And it’s hardly defensible, damn place was always more holes than protection.”

    Cassandra nodded in agreement, “true, and if my suspicions prove correct Solas always knew it better than any of us. Who knows what secrets and ears he has in those walls… you know, when we arrived at the Exalted Council I was afraid of where it would leave us,” she looked over at Lavellan who was now an exhausted heap on the bed, Sera moving to curl up next to her, bow and seemingly endless quiver still kept in easy reach, “leave her. I never dreamed it could end as poorly as all this. But, I suppose, Exalted Council and disbanded Inqusition be damned we have a mission still. For her.”

    Dorian winced and raised a glass of horrible, cheap Orleasian wine in mock salute, “After the Dread Wolf. For her.”

    Summary

    He would do anything, he knew, for the sweet mercy of her touch. Let her fold his limbs into something pretty and pliant. Let her touch and taste and take and–
    No!
    No, he did not…did not want that.
    Did he?
    He gasped into her open palm, his own breath, hot and heaving, clouded around his face.
    “I’m sorry. Ir abelas.”
    “It’s okay. I know you can’t help it,” she said.
    The kiss she placed onto his brow was chaste. The groan it elicited was anything but.

     

    The attack was meant for the Inquisitor, but when Solas takes the brunt of it instead, he has to deal with the consequences. It is not the first time this particular aphrodisiac has been used on him. Stripped of sense and sanity, Solas must contend with the memory of that, while his body rebels against him.
