    Summary

    Convincing the Inquisition of her innocence was hard enough when she was newly marked, let alone a month after fleeing from their custody. Ophelia Trevelyan has no wish for history to remember her as just one more mage to ruin the world, but when her choices are stay and die or run and live, she knows which option to pick. She doesn’t know how she’ll convince the Inquisition to believe her this time, but maybe closing the rifts and making friends with them all is a start.

    Until closing the rifts becomes less about proving her own innocence and more about saving the world one rift at a time. Until becoming friends with them means starting to love them.

    A story in which the Herald flees from the Inquisition, winds up right back with them, and somehow finds happiness throughout all the trials to follow.

    Summary

    They say history is written by the victors - but sometimes it's also written by academics and poets.

    Inquisitor Quinn Trevelyan's military commander famously took an unlucky hit during the Second Inquisition's 9:42 siege at Adamant. The event profoundly affected the organization, as the critically injured commander's second was forced to take over the organization's massive force without preparation or guidance.

    What follows is a submission of proposed writings for preservation in the Denerim archives: a file which explains in full the events which transpired after Adamant, and paint quite a specific picture of the relationship between the Inquisitor and her Commander. Included are numerous letters, carefully preserved historical documents, White Spire archives from the time of the Second Inquisition, and excerpts from books published in the years since the Chantry regained full control of the Inquisition at the 9:44 Exalted Council.

    My thanks for your kind attention.
    ~ Professor Branson S. Rutherford, III, M.F.H.

    Summary

    There are many things, it seems, that Arthur never told him. About his hopes. His fears. About how heavily the weight of the gang crushed down on his shoulders. About the bright moments he found out there in the wilds, helping and befriending random strangers just because he could. The strange phenomena he saw and dutifully noted in his journal, then never spoke of again. There is so much, John realises, that he never knew about his brother, because he never asked.

    But really, out of all the mysteries in Arthur’s life, this one seems like a pretty big deal to not goddamn mention.

    Summary

    Clerra Trevelyan just wants to go lend aid to the war-torn Hinterlands. Cullen Rutherford just wants to try help bring peace and atone for past failings. But sometimes when you head to a Divine Conclave to do your part to heal the wounds, you get a lot more than you bargained for: a calling that'll push you to the brink, but that you can't ignore.
