    Summary

    In which Dorian is a special forces operative, Bull is his partner, and Cullen is the guy they're sent to rescue. Hijinks ensue.

    Written because I wanted a story where Dorian rescues Cullen from physical danger. Because I like rescue-fic, and mainly what I've seen is the other way around (Cullen rescuing Dorian).

    In the name of not leading people on...The E rating is for eventually (cf "slow burn" tag above): I'd say this is T rated until chapter 15, and it doesn't need the E rating until chapter 25. Just so's you know!

    ETA: ART!!! Because there are few things I like better than badass Dorian.

    Summary

    “I know it will hurt, but… I promise I’ll be fine.”

    What he’s not saying, what Tarquin can so plainly hear in the slight waver of his voice, is that he's afraid of doing something wrong. Not of the pain or of making a mistake in choosing to get a tattoo, but of having a bad experience due to his own fault. He needs a tattoo beyond just having beautiful ink for whatever his reasons are, and he’s afraid of messing it up. Ashur needs to be good, and he needs Tarquin to deem him so.

    Tarquin has never had a client quite like Ashur.

    Summary

    The Venatori have their own ideas about who the Viper should be.
    After one mage succeeds in capturing Ashur and attempts to turn these ideas into reality, there is no way to tell whether the Shadow Dragons can still trust him - or whether he can trust himself.

    Summary

    On the eve of the fight with Elgar’nan, Ashur lingers at the Wall of Light, wrestling with the weight of all he has built—and the fear that it might vanish by dawn. When Tarquin finds him there, the soldier’s steady pragmatism cuts through Ashur’s despair. In the quiet glow of magelight, they make a choice: to stand together, not only in battle, but openly, in defiance of fear and the shadows pressing close.

    Summary

    Ashur has snake-like characteristics as a result of his magical bloodline.

    “What time is it?” Ashur muttered.

    “Early, go back to sleep.”

    He stretched again and nodded. Sunlight turned him into a lizard on a warm rock. That nod was friendly and agreeable. Agreeable, Ashur. That was a rare thing. Tarquin smiled and traced the tendril of scales on his arm.
