    Summary

    She said he couldn’t. That no amount of time travel would change fate. That no matter how hard he tried, he’d only be left exhausted, alone, and an orphan.

    He refuses.

    He turns back time. He tries a third time. A fourth. He will not let this happen.

    Sothis begs him to stop on the fifth. No. He will not let Solon get away with this. He will not let his father die. He will not watch as the sole reason for his existence peter away like so much rain into dry soil. He can’t, his heart screams, even as it lay unbeating. He can’t, he can’t, he can’t.

    Summary

    Felix hasn’t seen Sylvain in eleven months, not that he’s counting, but he’d still recognize him anywhere. He always did take up all the air in any room. Now he’s doing it even outdoors. Felix can’t breathe.

    He counts to five. He remembers how to inhale and exhale. He abandons his bags and stalks over so that his shadow falls over Sylvain, folding his arms over his chest.

    “You don’t go to this school,” Felix says accusingly, by way of hello.

    *

    Sylvain and Felix fake date at Christmas. It goes about as predictably as you’d expect.

    Summary

    “So I can have my knife,” Shirin held her patience with both hands, “but where will I keep it?”

    “In your gown, of course,” Myrna said.

    “IT HAS POCKETS,” Vorgoth boomed.

    Or: the fancy dress ball we could have had but didn't because the world is an unfair place. Rook and Emmrich dress up all fancy and infiltrate Johanna Hezenkoss' ball to stop her nefarious plans.

    Summary

    A modern AU where Emmrich owns a bookstore and hosts a small, chaotic book club. Rook gets roped into joining and immediately butts heads with Emmrich over everything. The rest of the group finds this hilarious. As the debates (and sexual tension) grow, Rook and Emmrich realize they might not hate each other as much as they thought.

    Summary

    When actor Anthony Crowley is invited to take part in a special celebrity edition of a certain British baking competition, he agrees immediately. It’s for a good cause, after all. It has nothing to do with his long-standing crush on one of the show’s judges, professional baker Aziraphale East.

    Okay, fine. It has a little bit to do with Aziraphale. Every time they’ve crossed paths, Crowley has walked away more smitten than the last, but he can’t seem to seal the deal. With only two days in the tent, can he whip up something scrumptious enough to convince Aziraphale to take a chance on Crowley – and maybe even on love?

    Summary

    “I’m not, strictly speaking, looking to be your wife.”
    Emmrich again faltered, hands folding in front of himself. He dithered. He searched for words. Well-spoken since childhood, he was quite unused to feeling so wrong-footed. He suspected it was something he would become well acquainted with in the immediate future.
    “What,” he said eventually, “are you…looking for?”
    “A friend,” Sigrid replied. Again in that simple, earnest and succinct way. “I’d like to be your friend, Emmrich.”
    Something in Emmrich’s chest, utterly despite himself, swelled.
    “Yes,” he murmured. “I would…like that very much, Sigrid.”
    Sigrid smiled and lifted her satchel over her head. “Great. Then let’s get married.”

    Some years ago, Emmrich Volkarin met his wife, married her, and fell in love with her. In that order.
    In 9:50 Dragon, Varric Tethras finds himself in a backwater of Nevarra, where he enlists the help of a secretive necromancer on a rainy night. These two events are not unrelated.
    Not even the dead keep their secrets forever.

    Summary

    "Why are you doing this?"

    Aziraphale's voice is faint, his breathing uneven. Crowley doesn't lift his eyes to see the sickly look on his face, the twist of pain where only joyous smiles should ever be.

    "Bandages need changing", he mumbles, eyes fixed firmly on his working hands.

    "No. I meant-" He can hear as Aziraphale swallows. "Why do you care for me?"

    It isn't just 'why do you take care of me'. It's 'why do you still care at all'.

    Crowley has to close his eyes for a second, makes sure Aziraphale doesn't see.

    "Cause you're here", he says, voice carefully detached, "and you're hurt, and you need someone. And that someone's gotta be me."

    "Why?"

    He won't answer that. He can't answer that.

    "Don't ask stupid questions."

    ~oOo~
    Or, the one where Heaven punishes Aziraphale the only way they know how, Crowley is there to help pick up the pieces, and maybe they can actually build something new and much more beautiful from both their broken shards.

    Summary

    Giving Grave Gold as a gift was intimate. Something only done by parents, siblings, or spouses. It was very clear in its intention: to place evidence that one was loved both in life and death.

    Or; The Mourn Watch throws a party, Rook is bad at receiving gifts and Emmrich is very fond of adorning his lover in gold.

    Summary

    Score one for Anathema and her auras, then, because if Dr Eastgate - Aziraphale - isn’t gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide, then Crowley is a red-bellied black snake.
    “Ngk,” Crowley says, and suddenly hopes that Newt is not in fact taking notes like Anathema told him to, because they’d probably say 'Crowley is gaping like an idiot and seems to have swallowed his own tongue.'

    Summary

    … speaking of my environs, I’m off for a stroll with one of my fellows here; a former denizen of Treviso, north of the Free Marches. She has promised to give me a tour of the flora local to her birthplace, and swears to show me a “trick” to coaxing the Ansburg moaning willow into producing noises of its own, much like the osseous osier native to our own rocky clime!

    “Emmrich,” Rook whispers in his ear.

    Emmrich writes home to his friend and colleague, and Vorgoth reads between the lines.

    Summary

    An in-game story showcasing the untold moments beyond the cutscenes, shuffling and tweaked the narrative juuust a little bit to help fill some of the gaps and plotholes in the original story.

    Rook Ingellvar's journey began as a rogue child raised by the "village" of the Grand Necropolis, drifting from house to house and eventually from town to town. Her path led her to the Lighthouse, where she now stands as the new leader of the Veilguard. But the arrival of the renowned Professor Volkarin, Senior Mortalitasi, along with Varric’s unexpected presence, leaves Rook wondering if her eagerness to lead just wrote her a check her ass can't cash.
