Legacy Unmourned: Party Tricks by Taxy

Summary
I wrote this piece in response to the prompt, “Do you mind staying? Just for the night.”
Neve Gallus is looking for a drinking buddy who will help stop her before she embarrasses herself at the bar. Franziska Ingellvar seemed like a reliable option.
This is set within my Legacy Unmourned storyline, about a necromancer who joins the Veilguard after discovering that Emmrich is her estranged father. Basically, Fran is in lesbians with Neve, especially the more the detective reveals her magical skill. (I didn't say magic kink, you did!)

Summary
The situation grows dire: Davrin’s dead, Bellara’s kidnapped, and Rook is imprisoned while Solas walks free. The Dread Wolf reclaimed his god-tier weapon, leaving Franziska Ingellvar [non-Rook] and the other companions to count their failures under an endlessly raging eclipse.
This story covers Day One of the team without Rook, and reimagines Assan as alive while Davrin has left a corpse behind. While preparing for a Corpse Whispering, interpersonal issues come to light. Emmrich’s decision to become a Lich Lord has disturbed Fran, his long lost daughter, by revealing how many secrets this unassuming gentleman keeps. Meanwhile, Neve is not a fan of Fran's use of maligned spirits against Ghilan'nain.
The team needs a plan, and that plan requires much to succeed. Without Rook or the dagger, can they figure out how to proceed? -
Gallus & Ghilly, Private Eye by stridingcorgi, Taxy

Summary
Two years ago, Ghilan’nain agreed to turn against Elgar’nan and help save the world on one condition: she will accompany Neve Gallus for the remainder of the detective’s mortal life. The mother of monsters refused to explain herself, but given the stakes, Neve could hardly refuse. “Whatever it takes,” right?
Neve has settled into an awkward tolerance of this dubious arrangement by burying herself in her work. Yet under all the grumbling, she finds herself beginning to appreciate Ghilly’s attempts to take care of her.
And Ghilly knows it.

Summary
"You concern yourself a great deal with other's romance, Cole. Why do you think that is?" Maryden inquired one evening near the end of their stay, as she strummed a few bars of "A Garden's Grace." Her tone was curious, with a faint edge of something Cole could not name. He pondered her question from his seat on a stone wall, looking out over the dark water and the shivering reflection of the moon.
"People need help," he shrugged, "with that, more than anything else. They keep their hearts in cages, safe, but sad. Sometimes they won't admit their feelings even to themselves."
Maryden hummed – that note again, that little undertone of…something.
"You would be good at it. You could write a song to weave two hearts together, like harmonies." That brought a smile back to her face, though she still wasn't looking at him, and her next words made him tense.
"Could I do it for myself, I wonder?"
Cole wondered who she'd need to snare, that way.
Cole and Maryden embark on an adventure, and find something more along the way. Written for the DA Reverse Bang 2025.

Summary
I'm posting this series as a collection of character studies more than anything else. I hope they're fun individually :3 They're not sequential, and they may overlap - as practice sketches often do.
***
The other two in this series so far were about Sera and Asaar Adaar. This is just Adaar, dealing with a situation that arose from inviting the rebel mages to Haven after "In Hushed Whispers."The prompt for this was: Appearances Are Deceiving - "You misunderstand. I am not locked in a room with you… You are locked in a room with me." AS the tags say, it's darker than the previous ones.

I'm posting these as a collection of character studies more than anything else. I hope they're fun individually :3 They're not sequential, and they may overlap - as practice sketches often do. Not sure yet if I'll write a plot for these two. Perhaps I'll decide with another playthrough?
***This one's two prompts (from Reddit, not flufftober) rolled into one story:
"Your Inquisitor and a companion (or Leliana) talk about the tainted future version of the companion you encountered in Redcliffe (if you chose the Mages)."
"A storm is coming. Are you prepared?"Series
