Summary
“Emilia,” Viv starts, breathing in deeply and speaking as though she’s holding back her anger, “you are absolutely allowed to say no here. And I mean that. I will even walk you home.” She breathes deep, and her hand flexes on Emilia’s. “But your experience with sex is the worst thing I’ve heard all fucking month, and I cannot let that stand.”

Summary
The blast furnace heat of a corn mill burning, the inhuman screams she told herself were animals, the searing wetness of blood pouring down her legs from her own ruined body as she stumbled over jungle roots—the day in, day out background noise of her mind for a half decade of fear and awe and never again, never again—grew quiet.
In their place, if only for a time, settled a riot of color and the smell of arepas and the freewheeling laughter of children.
Her children.

She didn't like talking about it, but Sera knew the Hero of Ferelden. Actually knew her – not that "saw her across a crowded tavern" bullshit people say to feel important, but real, honest-to-Andraste grew up with her.
