Summary
"Not even the most brilliant spies in the Ben Hassrath would be able to link that dazzling woman to the mangled wretch that looked up at him now. Anyone else would’ve chalked her up to a walking corpse and killed her without question. Varric himself should’ve assumed she was another one of the apparitions, or something far worse.
Yet he knew that if there’d been drinks, and songs, and people around now, they would’ve all disappeared the same way they had that day in Skyhold.
'Hawke.'"
Just when Varric thought it couldn't get any worse, he finds himself not at the Maker's side, but rather trapped in a nightmare, where he is forced to relive his many regrets over and over for all eternity. But he soon realized he's not alone in this place. There's someone else here, someone who is at the center of his worst regrets, someone he would do anything to spend the rest of his days with... and against all reason, she's still alive. Varric may be trapped here forever, but at least he might be able to help the woman loves get her happy ending. And maybe, just maybe, he'll finally get to tell her what he was never strong enough to say the first time around.
Or, Hawke and Varric trapped in the regret prison!

Summary
'“You hated it.” Well, shit.
“I wouldn’t go that far. I cried through that ending, too. And I thought you made us all seem like sweet, upstanding, well-adjusted people, who have most certainly never been thrown into a Tevinter prison.” She said with a hint of a knowing smile on her face.
“But…”
“Well, I just thought… And, I mean, I wasn’t thinking this was gonna be completely truthful about everything, but there was one plotline in particular that seemed very…” She trailed off, willing him to just understand what she was saying.
“Now Rook, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” But his trademark smirk and the mischievous look in his eyes said otherwise.
“Varric, you [Spoiler for Dragon Age: The Veilguard]”
The glint in his eyes and his shit-eating grin both grew tenfold. “Come on, you have to admit, you didn’t see that one coming.”
Or, Rook has just finished reading the first draft of “The Book of the Red Rook,” and her biographer has certainly taken some… interesting creative liberties. Rook isn't sure how she feels about the new additions to her story, and the biographer's wife really should've been given some sort of advance warning for the sake of her mental health.

Summary
“Are you alright?” Peeta’s words are soft.
Katniss nods, surer of it than she has been in a while.
“It’s raining!”
There’s a smile stuck on her face that she can’t seem to dislodge and Peeta smiles too as he gazes down at her tenderly from the porch.
“Yeah, sweetheart. It is.”
Her heart flips at the pet name like it’s the first time he’s ever said it.
alternatively:
Katniss dances in the rain and remembers a similar moment with her sister! Peeta is amazing! Fluff ensues! That's basically it!

Summary
Shepard and the Normandy Crew are tasked with safely transporting a very rich human back to the Citadel. When he hits on Shepard, she lies about having a boyfriend to avoid offending him and failing her mission. The Normandy Crew isn't at all surprised that she picked Garrus for this fake relationship. In fact, no one on the ship is convinced it's fake, except Garrus and Shepard themselves.
Cue these two idiots trying to convince everyone that this is definitely fake and not at all real, and that warm, lovey feeling in their chests? Fake, too.
Or is it?
