Summary
This is why he captures her attention, the ambitious ferocity lurking the molten swirl of his irises, the edge of animal intelligence and predatory fire churning in their depths. There is danger and cruelty and smooth calculation behind the gold, and she is helplessly drawn in, mesmerised by the burn.
The story of how two terrible people started a fire that couldn't be put out.

Summary
"I think, Sister, that we've found a place to truly flourish at Skyhold. Though the threat of the Elder One remains at the forefront, the Inquisition is evolving beyond a military force. I must stay and continue to aid in its endeavors and research, for I believe that the very nature of Thedas is evolving with it.
"Because of our decision to stay, please, please send a few wardrobes of our clothes. I don't have enough knickers, and Dorian complains daily that he lacks belt variety."
—From an overheard conversation between Athanis Tilani and Magister Maevaris Tilani, 9:41 Dragon, via sending stone, recorded by Agent Scrivener

Summary
Dec. 29, 2022: Rewritten, expanded, and alive!
In this war, there's no where safe to flee to — just one very fast ship, her (in)famous Commander, her ace pilot, and all the people they collect. Sequel to A Star to Steer Her By. This gets dark because war is dark, but we're here to kick reaper ass, not settle for a sucky ending.Joker could feel the furtive glances as he and Rhi stepped out into the CIC. It wasn’t the same as when he’d made that long walk before, limping past the all-too-able-bodied flight crew. No feeling of self-consciousness now. Just tension, flickering from person to person, and Rhi — Shepard — in the middle like a grounding rod.
Shit, they even looked at him as if he knew what to do.
The reapers were here. The criminals, vindicated.
Man, it sucks being right.

Summary
You are working on a research project in Petra when a strange voice calls out from within the Treasury. The speaker is an important figure of history who has, through no fault of his own, discovered time travel on accident. Now several choices lie before you, choices of differing nature and magnitude: choices of mind and body, of the past and the present, the choice to conceal or disclose, to love or to let go.
Disclaimer: While I use historical facts to enhance the story, this is very clearly about the portrayal of Baldwin in the film Kingdom of Heaven.

Summary
When the Federation Starship U.S.S. Voyager encounters a dangerous spatial anomaly while traveling in the Delta Quadrant, Starfleet Ensigns Tabitha Paige and Edward Walker are thrown into a time and place that resembles the 12th-century Levant on Earth. Cut off from their ship indefinitely and their resources limited, the two friends must find a way to survive in what soon appears to be their permanent new home. Together, they slowly come to appreciate this old world they've found, realizing there is much more to life than the science and technology that previously made up the very fabric of their existence.
And they learn that one well-meaning decision can truly change the course of history forever...

Summary
1183. Lluna Valentia bint Al Mualim De Bosch is a lady fruit of an interfaith union that hoped to unite two conflicting faiths of Al-Andalus. But hope is a dream and the reality is that the family's influence is in danger with the constant friction between the Almohads and the Christians wishing to retake their land.
At nineteen, Lluna is the only remaining daughter to be wed, and their only hope to salvage their social standing. At the other side of the Mediterranean, the terminally young King of Jerusalem fears for the future of his kingdom and his struggle to provide a successor that will lead in example.
In a last act of hope, or desperation, word is sent out that the King looks for a betrothed. Many kingdoms receive the news, but few people are eager to answer. Yet in Al-Andalus, it means a seizable opportunity for a certain family. It is no doubt a convenient solution for both sides. But the convenience is flawed, complicated. Because of the King's illness, it remains to be seen whether there is a point to it all. And, after all, nobody asked what Lady Lluna thought about the whole situation.Can this unwilling bride give her life and love away to a leper? And what makes her the only one who could?
