    Summary

    “For otherworlders, it is better not to date a long-life species—especially the Xianzhou natives, as you will likely get hurt. We might have a youthful look, but our soul has aged. Once we have loved, our hearts will not flutter for anyone again.”

     

    Stelle, forced to submit documents against her will, made it to the Seat of Divine Foresight. As she dropped the papers on his desk, her eyes settled on a particular golden pocket watch. Similar to the one she had.

    Its time was frozen—perhaps broken. However, that wasn’t what caught her attention.

    There was a photograph within it, a person eerily similar to her. Same hair length. Same facial features. Same smile.

    There were engravings on the back of the artifact, dating back to five hundred years ago.

    Summary

    Palm pressed against the cool glass stretching over the large windows in the Parlor Car, she watched the sunset-rust nebula swirling over the endless inky backdrop in tendrils, its living, breathing, colorful clouds colliding in a never-ending cosmic dance. If she closed her eyes, she could imagine a star whale piercing through, scattering them in its wake. Like watercolor flowers blooming on water. Or startled birds.

    A paper kite.

    Stelle never saw herself as anything but a paper kite.

    —Singularity
    [n.] Regions of space where the density of matter, or the curvature of spacetime, becomes infinite. In such locales, the standard concepts of space and time cease to have any meaning.

    Summary

    The Warrior of Light gets trapped by a voidsent that grants its victims hallucinations of their soul’s happiest memories while it consumes their aether. Only, this time, it reaches so far back that it ends up using Azem’s memories instead.

    [Set after 6.0, EW spoilers. Mostly an excuse for me to play with the WoL's identity crisis and the Lotus-Eater Machine trope.]

    Summary

    Loghain is stuck in Skyhold waiting for the Inquisition's assistance with the false Calling. Fortunately for Varric, he's bored enough that he might answer questions about the unlikely courtship of the Hero of Ferelden.
