Summary
“not taking the risk of people getting away, huh?” the anger in his chest turned his voice snarky, a false confidence coating his tongue.
none of the men replied, but they didn’t need to. if his father’s stories rang true, they had to find a way to prevent future sacrifices from escaping.
john inhaled sharply as one of the men grabbed his wrists, securing the chains until both of his arms were bound behind his back. he forced himself to keep breathing in a steady rhythm, watching the men pace around to make sure everything was in order. then, without another word, they turned back to the tunnel they’d come from, taking the light with them.
and just like that, john was alone in the darkness.

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
Ghost returns from a solo mission bruised and battered, wanting only to head off alone to rest, but Price intervenes, ordering him to the infirmary to get checked out. Frustrated and pissed, Ghost goes to keep the peace, only to be confronted and assessed by a new medic with bright blue eyes, a ridiculous haircut, and quite the cocky attitude.
Little did Ghost know this chance meeting would alter the course of his life forever and would send him down a path of love and hardship like he'd never known before. Nothing had ever come easy for Ghost, and the sudden addition of a flirty, spit-fire Scottish medic in his life was no exception. It's all he can do to stay sane as he navigates through new confusing and complicated relationships, all while trying to keep the people he cares about alive and breathing when the dark, devious acts of evil men threaten to take away everything he holds dear.

Summary
The rest of the soldiers give Ghost a wide berth instinctively, their prey-animal lizard brains unable to stomach sitting so close to him even when he's geared up and can't easily feed, even though they know he's impeccably collected and has never even hissed at one of them in warning. Those that have seen him in action know to be afraid, even with him on their side.
So Ghost has no qualms about gathering his tongue back into his mouth, rumbling lowly; "Shouldn't stare at me like that, Johnny."
