Summary
The anchor, and his arm, are gone, but its mark remains. Post-Trespasser.
---
“Dorian?” An echoing whisper, the walls murmuring to one another as he passes. He holds himself close, his arm tight against his chest and fist bundled. Loose strands of hair wisp around his face, his neck. He ignores the pinpricking pain in his feet. “Dorian?” That warbling echo again, his voice cast out only to return to him sounding less uncertain, more impatient. He listens for something deeper. The snow continues to fall, creates a blanket of nothingness. It amplifies the friction of his thoughts, a grain so loud it threatens to drown out the silence.

Summary
Shadowheart has the opportunity to discover what she likes now.
---
Frivolous. A pointless waste of coin. An even more pointless exercise. She imagines all the things Shadowheart could say to her purchase, to her request. Unexpectedly, she doesn’t say any of it. “I suppose,” Shadowheart says reluctantly and then quickly, pointedly, “although I rather don’t see the point.” She moves to sit in a sudden, fluid, movement, and her hands perch impatiently on her knees. No time wasted, Widu forges forward to sit behind her, mirroring the cross-legged posture. Hesitation, at first, unsure at how to deconstruct that which is Shadowheart’s hair. Starting at the bottom seems possibly best.

Summary
A collection of all the things too small to give their own post - generally prompts I receive. Tags will be updated accordingly!
Multiple relationships, but the majority is: Fenris x Hawke, Zevran x Warden, Dorian x Inquisitor, etc etc. (Too many to fully tag - all relationships specified in the title so you can find what exactly you want.) A little something for everyone!Series

Summary
Light plays at dancing through the trees, and shadows a pattern over them. Her reaching fingertips brush up against the branches and leaves which curl downwards into their path. She plucks one as she passes, turning it between her fingers – a dizzying spin of greens, yellows and reds. Merrill and Isabela catch her attention and so she lets it go. It floats away from her, landing the step behind him. She’s turning to listen to what Merrill is telling her as they walk, and he watches the edge of her smile. The warm glow of the setting sun haloes around Hawke’s profile. It sets fire to all it touches, from the stray strands of her hair in the breeze, to what seeps through her fingers as she talks, landing on him. Fenris knows he must tell her soon.

Summary
Fenris reluctantly asks Anders for advice.
---
“Varric’s written a lot of romance novels,” Anders says, “do you think he’s secretly… you know?” He looks up to where Fenris stands beside him. Resting his weight on one leg as he reads over labels which hold no importance for him, crossing his arms as he frowns. He looks at Anders.
“Out of all of us, Aveline is the only one to achieve complete romantic success.” Anders reels, and then his chin drops to his chest. -

Summary
Hawke and Fenris talk, post killing Danarius.
---
He stands alone, and all else seems so very, very far away. Voices, footsteps, every single noise seems to blend into one, a cacophony of sound. Blood drops from his fingers, onto the already stained planks of the Hanged Man. Drop, and red petals bloom wide. There are people moving around him, he knows, and doesn’t react when one bumps into him, apologizes. It’s as if he’s watching from behind, a ghost of himself. Separate from his body, from all that tethers, until she gently places touch at his arm. “Fenris,” she says. He turns his head, slightly, white wisps of hair crossing his forehead. His gaze remains fixed on the floor. “What were you thinking of doing?”

Summary
An unexpected leader, unlikely allies. Bound by the Breach, trying to hold all of Thedas together. Thankfully, the Inquisitor doesn’t stand alone. Blind, but not without strange sight, Alexi Trevelyan makes his mark.
---
“On your feet, Trevelyan,” Vivienne tells him, “we’re not done here yet.” In his dark, her magic is such a bright thing. From a well of royal purple bursts free white arcing lightning, a chain that links the broken Templars in pain. They played such theatre in the courtyard – showed them ones yet untouched. Now he sees it clearly, in these. That which cracks at their center, the poison in their veins. Red lyrium. Cassandra and Barris work their way around the room, block the exit. Sera keeps them pinned. Vivienne makes them weak, and Alexi keeps his team healed, and strong. Denam makes the mistake of thinking him an easy target. -

Summary
After returning from the darkness, Byleth needs a little more help properly returning to Garreg Mach. A cut scene for the Ashen Wolves. Instead of one of the leaders from the three houses carrying him back, it's Yuri.

Summary
Yuri goes down to his knees at the other side of him, reaches out and puts a hand on his shoulder. “I’ll help you carry him back,” he says, unsure if Byleth even hears him. The rain has made a river of his temples, dripping from his bangs, falling onto his cheeks. It’s clearer, here, in front of him. Whoever said the Ashen Demon had no emotions was sorely mistaken. Grief echoes clearly behind a blank stare, a stretch of loss, of continuing to lose. Byleth looks at him blankly, but allows Yuri to slip an arm underneath Jeralt.

Summary
Why the Sabrae clan really helped Zevran in DA2
He could have stayed in Denerim, with Alistair. He would have found a position for Zevran, no doubt. King Alistair would have been a sight to see. He could have gone with Wynne and Shale, seeking answers to questions he didn’t understand. Even Sten offered, but that would mean the Qun, and Zevran had never been good with obedience. He almost took Leliana up on hers. Her hand extended, a soft smile on her face, offering refuge. A place where he might find counsel, some kind of peace. He couldn’t accept. His destination had already been promised, to another.

Summary
The night before the final fight, Byleth and Yuri seek out each other.
“I was looking for you,” Byleth says in that low, barely-audible whisper of his. His voice is a landslide, rocks tumbling into a canyon. Yuri feels the back of his neck unexpectedly heat at the sound of it. He watches as Byleth turns on his heel, marching back to the entrance of the tent. He kneels down briefly, tying the knots to keep the flap closed. Then he stands, his head still bowed, his hands clenched in fists at his side. When he turns back around to face Yuri, his face is neutral, his breathing even. Yuri stands up straighter at the sight of Byleth looking at him underneath dark lashes.

Summary
“With the legends associated with this place, I’m surprised it isn’t crawling with students,” Yuri says as he takes the last step, walks onto the landing. He seems content to wander, to look, but he pauses in the middle of the room, looks over his shoulder and smiles at Byleth. “Or maybe they saw you here and were too scared to try and sneak inside.” Byleth still has one hand on the balcony as Yuri resumes his wandering. Steadily, surely, he closes the distance, chooses the spot closest to Byleth. Yuri leans back against the railing, tilts his head upwards towards Byleth.

Summary
Yuri is surprised to find Byleth preparing a lesson for the children of Abyss, in the middle of the night. He decides that company wouldn't be an awful thing.
He sits on one of the small desks, in this so-called classroom, one leg crossed over the other and dangling free. Hunched over, his elbow rests on his knee, and his chin is propped up against his knuckled fist. His free hand moves over the letters someone had carved into the wood. Perched from where he is, just behind him, to his left, Yuri is easily able to follow the chalk in Byleth’s hand. It’s actually somewhat impressive how he always manages to write completely straight, undeterred by the lack of guiding lines on the board. His script is neat and flowing, easily legible. There’s a mesmerizing quality to each deliberate stroke, the way his letters come together. Byleth pauses, and the chalk does as well, hovering mere millimeters away from the board.

Summary
Fenris visits Hawke after Leandra's funeral.
This place has always plagued Fenris with unease. Perhaps it’s the overwhelming scent of incense, the candles which burn from dawn until dusk. It could be the silence with presses in from all sides, the overpowering sense of being smothered. The golden statue of Andraste looks towards the sky, the blue painted ceiling which plays theatre at stars. Worse even still, is the crowd of people here now. They surround Hawke, drown her in their grief. Fenris watches as she politely thanks each and every one, takes their hands which are extended in sympathy. Through that touch, she draws out their sorrow as if it were it were a poison, and takes it into herself. Unburdened, they are uncaring that she has her own grief to contend with.

Summary
Sylvain and Felix spend some time alone.
“Hey,” Sylvain says, “kiss me.”
“What?” Felix leans back as much as he can, as far as the wall will let him, but Sylvain keeps close. “Why are you asking?” He’s used to those moments where Sylvain will plant kisses on him with a smug smile and a bounce in his step, gone before Felix can retaliate. Sylvain is breathless with his boldness, his cheeks coloring, licking his lips.
“You don’t want to?” -

Summary
The blighted plague at your feet, and ghosts at your bedside. Those things that go bump in the night? They follow behind you. If only you had someone to protect you. A late-Victorian era re-imagining of Dragon Age Origins.
“You wear your hair long, which is charmingly different from every other man,” she reaches upwards, barely brushes her fingertips against the shell of his ear. “You wear a single earring as well, which suggests you like to stand out. However, your hair is pulled back almost so that you can’t tell how long it is.” She slips a finger around a strand, pulls it loose against his face. “Your suit is the same as any other, but you pay particular mind to your pocket watch. That is the most expensive thing you own, I would wager. You are a man who wants to be noticed, but is far lonelier than he means to be.” Her hand falls from his ear lobe, settles on his thigh. She doesn’t break her gaze from his.

Summary
Edelgard catches Hubert sending a letter to his lover.
“Nothing of importance.” Typically, there is no tell. Hubert gives nothing of himself away. His expression does not change, his mannerisms unmoving. She has seen him lie through his teeth, time and time again, and not once had anyone ever suspected the lie. This tell is specific. It only ever appears in regards to one person, and one person alone. The shell of Hubert’s ears burn a magnificent red, and she knows, even without seeing it, that the nape of his neck is in the same state.

Summary
Sylvain and Felix make the effort to protect each other in battle. It doesn't always go the way they plan.
There’s a weight to each blow. The blade shudders against armor and rattles resistance up through his bones. A moment, a held breath, and then it breaks. It’s a series of breaking. Resistance gives, armor pierced. Breaking skin, breaking muscle, breaking bone, breaking life. Blood spills over his hands, spatters across his face. He will never make peace with the warmth of it. He wrenches the lance free, spurs his horse forward. His mind is empty save for one thought which winds over and over. It’s a thought unchanged since his first kill.
I had to do it. Don’t hate me, please. -

Summary
Isabela leans back against the wood of the ship. She watches sailors move here and there, her arms crossed. Satisfied with what she sees, she closes her eyes and tilts her head back. Curls of hair fall over her shoulder, brush against her cheeks. She stands easy, breathes deeply. It’s as though she doesn’t feel the waves, and the roll of the ship. Her eyes open as she turns to look at Hawke, and smiles. “Here I thought us traveling together might mean I’d wake up with a beautiful woman in my bed each morning,” she says. Hawke chuckles under her breath and shakes her head.
