Summary
“To live in this world you must be able to do three things: To love what is mortal; To hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, To let it go.” (Mary Oliver)
Tavi grew up on a small, rural farm in the Tevinter Imperium. He and his family laboured for their daily bread; spent holy days at the local temple; and enjoyed the fruits of the seasons, living humbly but happily in their slice of paradise.
Then, a magister came through their little village. In his wake, he wrought upon Tavi's world a wave of misery worse than any blight.
Fifteen years pass. Octavian has clawed his way from the hellish imprisonment that had been thrust upon him, far colder a man than he had been when he first saw the walls of a cell. Imbued with vengeful purpose, he plans to seek justice for the wrongs committed against him: and if justice cannot satisfy him, he will settle for blood.
(Covers Tevinter Nights, Veilguard, and an epilogue.)

Summary
Offices are boring. Or that’s what John MacTavish had always thought, at least. Twenty-six years on the earth, and he’d managed to avoid the concept of a desk job until one fateful evening with his closest friend, his friend's boss and too many vodka cokes. Kyle Garrick had landed him the dream job he never thought he wanted.
The dream wasn’t really the work, though. More the hunk of a man in the office across from his, with a mysterious demeanour and masked face.
Bolts, Nuts & Papercuts is a story laced with daft British humour, too many trips to the pub, and a chance to follow along with two steamy office romances. Johnny and Simon, an unlikely duo who find they have a lot in common after Johnny goes through a rough breakup, and Price and Kyle, who navigate not only their boss and PA relationship, but the relationship with Price’s family from his former marriage.
But perhaps most importantly, this is a story about life. All the ups and downs, the parts that make us laugh, and cry, and all the emotions in-between.
Written by a disgruntled British office worker, I hope this silly, campy, maybe slightly over-the-top story brings you more joy than I get from the coffee machine at 08:00.

Summary
He wades in it now, eyes still open, fixed on the speckled ceiling, begging himself not to crave bomb blasts and artillery fire in his childhood bedroom. Although…there might be something beautiful about it all, Johnny supposes, those noises in the thick. The gasps in between discharge that say: I’m here, I’m a part of this song too.
After a near-fatal injury, John MacTavish finds himself back in his hometown in Scotland. Fresh off an untimely discharge, he's forced to cope with disability, his dysfunctional family, and the lingering knowledge that there are some things he's just not ready to leave behind...

Summary
There was only so much you could do to a dead man, you see, before he became more of a liability than an advantage. In theory, the idea of not killing Ghost— of keeping him alive, taking him back to the base and torturing all the information they could get out of him was a good one. However, in practice, the issue became more complicated.
Or— Ghost is sent home to recover after being victim to cartel torture, and then Soap shows up.
