Summary
“The room was quiet now, and the Drell stood at the center. His head was bowed, and while he was clearly fighting to catch his breath, he remained steady.
‘Who the hell are you?’ Kaidan asked into the silence.
Nuara closed his huge eyes for a second before raising his head to look at Kaidan.
‘There isn’t much time to explain.’”

Summary
"Everyone needed help sometimes. And most people were trying to do a whole lot less than she was. So he’d sat with her during those times years ago, making sure she got to bed without breaking her neck, making sure she didn’t do anything stupid or say anything she might regret. Every time she’d thanked him, and every time he’d smiled and shaken his head, gently rolling his eyes and walking away. Because she had no idea how small and easy a thing it really was to him to help her."

Kaidan Alenko and Mariah Shepard try to make sense of who they are to one another in the aftermath of the death of Thane Krios, and try to fit their respective broken pieces back together in a galaxy that's quickly crumbling around them. -

Summary
In that moment, in the fluttering torchlight, each of them seemed too perfect; The sharp-tongued dwarf with a heart of gold, the high-and-mighty holy warrior, the mysterious sleeping woman who would have all the answers if only she could be kept alive, and the magical healer. But Varric knew better. Like everyone, all of them had secrets.
---------
A series of shorts and character studies that roughly follows the timeline of DAI and explores the main (and a few supporting) players, including a Dalish Inquisitor with a talent for swordplay and perhaps a slight infatuation with a certain liar-liar-pants-on-fire elf.

Summary
"Every unexpected smile, every look of pleasant surprise, every time he's found a little bit of light in himself and let it show around her, she's hoarded and kept like little treasures. There had been more and more of them leading up to that night, and there was always the feeling that maybe, hopefully, a long, long way down he dark road he was on, he'd finally find his way, and maybe if she walked two steps behind him and they didn't talk about anything but the weather and the black, impossibly rich Par Vollen wine they'd come across a few days back, maybe, they could meet whatever future they happened upon together. "
---------Fenris and Hawke try to relearn one another after three years and find that there was so much they didn't know in the first place.

Summary
The things she had told him, the parts of herself she had let him see, he had accepted as gifts, and repaid her with the knowledge that she wasn't alone. Repaid her with words and laughter, dry red wine and stories. The most beautiful stories.
---------
Thane and Shepard share a day together, each knowing it will probably be the last.
