    Summary

    Tarquin has know Ashur for years, and yet he hardly actually knows the man outside the Shadow Dragons, and he certainly has no idea who is really beneath the Viper's mask. That doesn't stop him from taking a wild guess here and there.

    A simple, off-handed joke about Ashur's true identity, however, changes the course of their professional relationship and puts their personal relationship and strong, undeniable bond to the test.

    Summary

    “When you go to Kirkwall, I want to come with you.”

    Evelyn placed the reports on her desk slowly, his words and the implications sinking in. She turned to him, her smile faded and eyes narrowed.

    “You do?” She asked carefully. “You want to come with me to Kirkwall?”

    Her hesitation wasn’t surprising. Of the long nights they’d spent talking in the dark, wrapped in one another where it was safest, he’d said more than once he never intended to return. He’d foolishly declared himself healed; there was no need to open old wounds.

    But even stitched together, a wound could still be infected. Sometimes reopening to clean out the rot was the only way forward.

    When Inquisitor Evelyn Trevelyan is invited to Kirkwall by Sebastian Vael on a diplomatic visit, Cullen realises the only way he'll close that chapter of his life is to go back and face it for himself.

    How much is a peaceful future worth opening old wounds?

    Summary

    “Quin—” Ashur starts, and then stops.

    Tarquin looks up when he doesn’t continue, an eyebrow raised. “You going to finish that sentence? Or am I meant to guess?”

    Ashur’s cheeks heat and he fights the instinct to look away. Nothing Quin said should cause this reaction in him and yet. He steels himself, and just asks. “You… practice on the roof often?”

    ---

    Ashur stumbles upon Tarquin training, discovers he's the subject of a bet, and is bullied into looking after himself.
