    Summary

    Tarquin returns from the war: bitter, broken, and lonely. He joins the Templars thinking that he'll be helping the people of Minrathous but after five years rotting away in the city's archives he's resigned to the fact that the Templar Order have no use of his sword. But then he meets the Viper... the mysterious vigilante mage fighting injustice in Minrathous, and before long, Tarquin finds himself picking up a sword and fighting alongside. Tarquin feels more alive than he's felt in years but as he falls more and more in love with his partner in crime, there's just one small question remaining: who the fuck is this guy?!

    Summary

    "By all accounts, Commander Cullen is a good man. But he was also a Templar, and here in the south that warrants a healthy caution among our kind. Cease your interest, and keep your distance."

    Such a warning was, of course, the nail in the coffin of any 'healthy caution' Dorian possessed.

    Summary

    Cullen and Dorian determine a strategy to demonstrate the alliance of Templars and mages within the Inquisition. It's an entirely political endeavour, and nothing at all to do with the butterflies Dorian gets whenever he's around the other man.

    Summary

    'It hadn’t started with the withdrawal, of course. If conscious desire was something Cullen had lost at Kinloch Hold, and for all the years between, his physical capability had been a slower casualty, unnoticed and unmourned at first, to the lyrium. And even after the fear was done, after he could look at a woman or man - even a mage - and find his mind lingering on their skin (its dips and hollows, and the ways he might make them gasp) it seemed his cock was still disinclined to participate.

    It was bearable, though: lonely and cold, but no more than he deserved. Sometimes he thought of the rows of Tranquil Meredith had branded in Kirkwall, and that in this small way, he was one of many, partaking in the consequences of his own sins.

    It was bearable, until Dorian.'

    Summary

    “Didn’t you once tell me you’d rather be mauled to death by feral dogs than go back to Ventus?”

    “Yes, but my sister is getting married so I’m going to be an adult and suck it up for 48 hours.” He turns to Ashur, hooks a finger over his collar, and tugs him into a soft kiss before he can put his mask back on. “Pack comfortable shoes."

    Or: Ashur discovers the secret world of banana piracy, attends a Soporati rager, and climbs Tarquin's bell tower.
