Home to the NSFW extras from my longer series From Darkness, Light.
Most should stand alone, but reading the larger fic will help as mine doesn't always follow the game.

Impossibility of Hope by dwarden

Summary
Solana Amell had learned over their travels that Alistair was a man that could make the impossible seem possible. When he tells her that their relationship is an impossibility after it is decided he will be the new King, she learns he is not as infallible as she had hoped.
-I was never happy with Alistair only being able to become King and keep a romance with a noble Origin, so this is a vignette I wrote when I decided the dialogue options weren't in character for my characters. This has inspired my other DAO rewrite I'm working on, so I hope you like it!

Summary
There's one of them who's always stationed in the library. Every time she's there, he's standing guard, and she knows that it's him, in particular, not one of his comrades, because he fidgets.
Written for a prompt at the k!meme: "Alistair became a templar and is stationed at the circle. He falls in love with a female mage PC. Looking for romance, lust and quick trysts in corners, trying to be quiet so that they are not caught."

Summary
The Ministry is being infiltrated by Death Eaters. Elodie Merriman cannot keep to the plot she remembers from the books anymore, nor does she want to. Not if it means losing the men she loves.
Elodie's relationship with Sirius is as secure as it can be, especially since Sirius knows that Remus has no intention of being in a relationship with anyone, thanks to his lycanthropy. When an unexpected event brings the necessity of Remus and Elodie pretending to be a married couple, the strain brings on new feelings and old fears.
As mentioned on part I (A Solution More Beautiful), on its face this is a Book Fan Wakes Up In Book World story. Inside, though, it’s a rich celebration of the adult characters in the books, with a trip through a slowly altered canon as the main character seeks to change things in a way that doesn’t get herself sent to Azkaban.
Note: story is on hiatus for a bit; also wanted to be clear that I find JKR's views repulsive. These characters I care about are the reason I still write in 'her' world at all, but I feel certain she'd hate what I've done with it :)

Summary
Elodie Merriman couldn't accept that her favorite character didn't survive the books. She went to sleep in her bed in America in 2009 and woke up in a boarding house in the UK in 1994, having switched places with her magical self in another universe. Magical Elodie had a wand, a career, and a friend named Albus Dumbledore who had saved her from her jerk mentor--and now, Muggle Elodie had taken her place, magical ability and all.
Step One: learn more magic, fast. Step Two: don't screw up the Wolfsbane her predecessor had started. Step Three: try not to forget how things are supposed to go, once you actually meet the real life Remus Lupin. And Step Four: nothing ever, ever goes to plan when Sirius Black is involved.
On its face this is a Book Fan Wakes Up In Book World story. Inside, though, it’s a rich celebration of the adult characters in the books, with a trip through a slowly altered canon as the main character seeks to change things in a way that doesn’t get herself sent to Azkaban.
