doubt comes in (reprise) by arrowfortea
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age (Video Games)

Summary
Solas doesn't need to watch the Inquisition fall to ruin, taking the world with it. He can do the right thing: undo everything. Fix all he broke, and let the Inquisitor Maxwell Trevelyan decompose.
(Or: an Unreliable Narrator Extraordinaire twists DA:I into a Time-Travel Break-It, then falls in love.)
(But: Every retelling of Orpheus & Eurydice has one thing in common.) -
ardent blossoming by arrowfortea for huldine

Summary
After acquiring an Ardent Blossom, Evelyn makes Solas a flower crown. It's only so he isn't left out. She made Cole one, after all, and certainly hadn't done so in order to have a reason to make Solas one.
—
“Hmm.” Solas checked his thumb, then pressed his pointer finger into the linen, rubbing into it. Evie glanced at the gesture; five seconds, at most. “If mistaken, then I am happy to drop the subject.”
“That seems unlike you.” Did it? Was she teasing? Oh, no, was she flirting?
Whatever she was doing, Solas smiled regardless. “I do not typically drop the subject when I am wrong, no. To do so would be to flee an opportunity to learn something.”
“Quite right!” she said, and would be happy to flee to Seheron. Nothing to be done for it, if she ran off, he’d see the crown all the same, and so she drew it out from behind her back.

slake-hot longing by arrowfortea

Summary
An adaptation of this comic by westlywheatly. Ancient Elven 'god' falls in love because local woman snores louder than the voices in head telling him not to.
—
Even that which he could not help but loathe: her vallaslin... June’s antlers cradled her cheekbones, as they had on thousands of slaves, but.. ink in skin, all told. The woman before him, for the most part, was meaningless. Brimming with irrelevant intentions; whatever had caused her to come, in a pretense of dishabille, all tousled hair and draped cloth, clavicle—
Solas curled the fingers upon his brow bone, and sank his nails in.
Broke through. Found blood. Worsened the situation, for the most part; a raw and wailing something rolled up through his ribs, and hitched his breath—he slipped his hand down his face, made a fist against his quivering mouth, pressed a surging gasp back.

Summary
For the prompt "a kiss while one party is carried", I present: toxic not-couple walking through a sewer, while one of them has no sense of smell and is a dick about it.
—
“If anything died here, Hawke, it did not do so alone,” Fenris grumbled, before stopping to gag into his shoulder for the fifth time.
The wretched woman draped in his arms hummed, half-giddy. “Gross,” she cooed, then feigned what had to be the loudest sigh he’d ever heard. “Someone’s gotta clean up this city!”
Another wave of nausea met Fenris’ stomach; he wouldn’t terribly mind joining the dead somethings, for through the swill of his mind, there bobbed another correction: that had been the second loudest sigh he’d ever heard, feigned from that smiling mouth.

someone to watch me die by arrowfortea

Summary
Solas, dying in Lavellan's arms. As James Acaster once said: made it, had a breakdown, bon appetit.
—
Throat hoarse, nose dribbling, brain burning through her face, puffy-cheeked, soaked, grotesque as a squashed-up plum, and Solas thought she was so beautiful. Tears crusted her cheeks like blood; did that happen? She wiped her cheeks. Waste of her hands, Solas deserved them both—she cupped his face. Cheekbones high and curved; Solas was so handsome, and nobody would ever read poetry about it. That didn’t seem fair. Even if she learned how to write it, or paint him, she’d do it wrong, no-one wanted to listen to her, anyway, because he would've destroyed the world.

Summary
Instead of getting his shit together, Harry hyper-fixates on collecting tare.. for the entirety of Day 1. (Or, simply put: Executive Dysfunction, A Lonesome Exploration.)
—
FRITTTE – Below the sign on the door, which reads, "CLOSED," there is a smaller sign, which reads: "you should return in the morning."
A VARIETY OF TIMES, BLURRED BY YOUR WET-EYED GAZE – Pretty much, anyway.
INLAND EMPIRE [Heroic: Success] – Upon the putrid carcass of reality gathers the maggots of consensus, feasting on what once seemed immutable. You could wake up tomorrow and the world decided to turn its clocks forward three hours, "screw-your-hopes-and-dreams" savings time could be an unspoken social norm rotted away in your hindbrain, alongside so many others.

Summary
Hawke's siblings and father are framed and frozen in time along the manor walls, placed there by her mother's loving hand. When Leandra dies, Fenris means to be Hawke's comfort, and finds himself entertainment instead. Hawke smiles too brightly, kisses too deeply, toys with him like a cat batting a ribbon.

Summary
Lavellan goes down. Hard.
Solas does everything within his power to save her.
—
“Scared.” Magic was readied over her muscles. Harpists’ fingers. Daggers. “Tired.”
“Both will pass. As will the pain. I’m sorry—we are running out of time. I’m sorry to force you alive, vhenan, but in all of existence, there has never been a life like yours. I won’t surrender you to something so common as death. Live. Learn why.” The skin under Elanna’s teeth flexed; whatever it was had tendons beneath. “Bite instead of screaming. Never stop thinking. Dareth shiral.”
Every bone burst out of her body.

your integrity makes me seem small, you paint dreamscapes on the wall by arrowfortea

Summary
Soon after the kiss in Haven, Inquisitor Lavellan learned to shape her dreams. The mundanity of them lowers Solas' sour defences, one of which is steadfast: he has good reason to believe that, with the Anchor, he could affect her mind whenever they're in the Fade.
—
The Anchor may respond to him if he perceives it for what it is, and bids the Fade to follow. The veridian flickers beneath her skin disappear; the skin of her palm pales to a slake-lime white, and rather than a dagger-slit of a wound, the Anchor is the Breach, writ small. Rendered in sap green, pooling paler over time. The scent of its magic roils to a stench. Fen’harel’s magic, Solas’ magic, his magic, unstable and spoilt by its suspension in impurity.

the body disdained memory, or refused the responsibility of it by arrowfortea
Fandoms: Dragon Age II, Dragon Age (Video Games)

Summary
"Why would Hawke EVER give Fenris to Danarius?" is an evergreen question. Fenris no doubt asked himself that as well. (Future chapters are inspired by Gerald's Game and The Yellow Wallpaper; bumpy ride ahead.)
—
There is little difference between Fenris' memory being erased and his body being killed. Hawke had disagreed, when he'd said that to her. She'd propped herself up on one elbow to toy with his hair, and insisted that wiping his mind would be far worse. If Danarius kills Fenris, thus dies a man that lived, whereas Leto—by Fenris' own admission—may as well have never existed.
What sweet pillow talk she had. If Fenris ever misses it, he shall never forgive himself.

he kept wanting to give you what was already yours by arrowfortea

Summary
Solas has told her to harden her heart, fold the pain inside it like the metal of a blade, and use it against Corypheus. In the very moment, Elanna had wondered if he knew who he was talking to. A heart should not be a weapon. In this, she is the wiser. Hers is broken like a gashed fist, sparking.

Summary
For the prompt "Snow." TW for suicidal ideation. She smiles weakly. It would work like that, in a clearer world, one black and white as his beloved chessboard. But Cullen doesn’t know it as she does, for it is hers. Its sharpness has been pressed to her back for so long that it’s become a vertebra.

Summary
Since getting over the initial hesitance from their first kiss, his embraces were decisive; his hands steady when aligned to her, and staying so for hours afterward. He didn’t want to be away from the man he was with her.

Summary
It’d be appreciated if Irving or Greagoir recognised resisting a demon as the feat it is. She takes a seat in front of the mirror. The girl reflected back doesn’t look like she could house a demon. From the inside out, Faye isn’t as sure.
