    Summary

    Twenty years ago, the Warlord of the North came down out of the mountains and slew the king of Kaedwen, taking crown and kingdom for his own. Everyone expected him to be overthrown almost immediately, but he has only grown ever more secure in his position. Finally, the other countries around Kaedwen have begun to negotiate with him as they would any other king.

    To seal the new treaty between Redania and the Warlord, Lady Milena de Roggeven, third daughter of the Duke of Roggeven, has been sent to marry whichever of the Warlord’s men he chooses.

    Milena is starkly terrified of everything about her new husband; every rumor she has ever heard about the barbarians of the north seems worse than the last, and Lambert clearly despises the very thought of marriage.

    Lambert of the Wolves is still grieving his lost lover, dead more than three years now. The last thing he wants is to be married off to a terrified stranger, and he can’t imagine why Geralt and Eskel think he of all people is suited to a diplomatic marriage.

    And neither of them suspects the treachery that lies behind the treaty which binds them together.

    Summary

    Released for the afternoon when he comes with his husband to Skyhold, and under orders to enjoy himself, Zevran is quick to locate the best possible person for a no-strings-attached good time. Actually getting that far, of course, is another matter. Fortunately, he enjoys the foreplay just as much as the sex—especially when it involves a sparring ring.

    Summary

    A hunt for a group of Tevinter slavers has led Fenris across the border into Antiva. There he finds Zevran, on the run from a failed attempt to ambush a company of Antivan Crows. As it turns out, a slave's vendetta and an assassin's war have an unexpected way of meeting in the middle—and Zevran is surprisingly good company, for someone who never shuts up or stops flirting.

    Summary

    She is not merciful or gentle. She is the storm, the wind, the sea, her wrath only second to Flint’s. She is Miranda Barlow, captain of the Morning Mist, feared by many and revered by more.

    “If I had all those abilities that I am attributed with, we would already be governing the world.” She laughs. Flint looks at her. “Maybe, one day, we will.”

    Based on the idea by Tumblr user jmeelee and a gifset by Tumblr user flintxhamilton (links in notes).

    Summary

    “I thought we could maybe go out somewhere together. Somewhere people like, like us, like to boogie.” He gestures between the two of them. “And.” He gulps, suddenly unsure if this thing he’s about to ask for is normal or not. “I was thinking we could separate, or stay together, and you could meet someone, and I could. I could…” And under his breath, his face visibly red even from attempting to describe this fantasy, “… watch.”

    “Ah.” Kim’s eyes widen.

    “Or you could watch m-me! It could be equal. Oh god.” Tears spring to Harry’s eyes. “Is there something wrong with me?”

    Summary

    It becomes a routine. Sharing scraps and slim pickings, pacing and gnawing old bones, acts of mutual cannibalism. Daisy feeds on the street and brings Jon her carrion. Jon lets Daisy shove him against a wall and bite him bloody, inhale his fear until he's ashen and shivering, and gets an erection every single time. They don't talk about it.

    Then, one day, they do.

    Summary

    “Here?” Tim asks. “Martin, I’m not going to shag you in an alley. I’m going to treat you like a lady. I’ll fuck you in a bed, like proper royalty. There’ll be sheets and everything.”

    I’m going to treat you like a lady. Martin, for some mysterious reason, does a full body shiver.

    Summary

    Martin feels so nervous that he’s almost dizzy with it. He desperately wants to turn tail and run, to call this whole thing off. Except for how he knows he’d be mad at himself for weeks afterwards for doing it, maybe even months. He’s spent so long working himself up to this; is he seriously not even going to try? 

    Even though it’ll probably go terribly? a pessimistic voice in the back of his head chimes in. 

    “This is going to go great,” Martin mutters underneath his breath. “Just grand. Nothing’ll go wrong, you’ll see.” 

    He feels a flash of self consciousness, but none of the other passengers give him so much as a glance for muttering to himself, all of them either hiding away in headphones and earbuds or just dead eyed glazed over expressions as they stare blankly into the middle distance. None of them even suspect that he’s on his way to a kink club. 

    -

    Martin and Jon have a very different first meeting.

    Summary

    “There are two people I can think of who might know anything,” Lavellan said. “Experts - on the Fade, on the history of elvhenan. Unfortunately,” a grimace, “one of them has vanished, and if all the resources of the Inquisition can’t find him, I doubt you can.”

    “And the other?” Fenris demanded.

    “Something from my own history, for once. Not an Inquisition thing. There is - a criminal,” said Lavellan. “Exiled from the clans. She was the blood mage who murdered Clan Sabrae and its Keeper. Last I heard she was living in Kirkwall. A very dangerous woman - possibly insane, actually - but I met her once at Arlathven, and if anyone could help you -”

    Merrill?
    _

    Hawke was left in the Fade. Fenris goes looking for him. He doesn't go alone.

    Summary

    It was at that precise moment that everything clicked into place.

    Astarion wasn’t a person.

    Vampires look like people. Smell like people. Walk like — actually, Astarion had a recognizable gait, a sort of bounce to his step, not really elven. And it turns out they can talk and act like people too, beautiful people that make your head spin, make you feel as happy and desired as you’ve never been.

    But it’s all just an act — an act of predatory mimicry, designed to lure and entice, to make you drop your guard and voluntarily turn yourself into fucking bread.

    ***
    In short: Tav refuses to believe vampires are thinking, feeling people. And if someone is not a person, you don't have to treat them as one. The abuse is strictly psychological, no violence. Consent is seemingly given, only the reader knows it's insincere.

    Summary

    The son of the man who lost the Eagle of the Ninth would never be allowed a first command of his very own fort, would he?

    Marcus is posted not to Isca Dumnoniorum, but to a wretched and run-down garrison north of the Wall. There he finds that he is the new centurion of a group of scouts and spies, all of them British. He has few supplies and no experience. His men distrust him. His superiors despise him. His second-in-command is an incompetent drunkard. And the local tribes are determined to kill all of them.

    But the worst thing of all is one of Marcus' soldiers. He is an enigmatic, dangerous, and insubordinate man by the name of Esca, who makes Marcus yearn for terrifying things he has never before wanted and can never, ever let himself have...

    Summary

    “I don’t want to hurt you, my heart.”

    “Yes, and maybe that’s the problem!” Astarion snaps suddenly, yanking his hands out from under his.

    Halsin stares, startled by the outburst, and Astarion frowns, first at him and then at the tree over his shoulder. When he doesn’t elaborate, Halsin carefully breaches the silence instead.

    “Do you want me to hurt you?”

    AKA astarion doesn't know how to ask for what he wants, but halsin can make an educated guess

    Summary

    “Going to get you nice and ready for me. How many fingers do you want before I fuck you?”

    “Two,” the boy purrs. He arches his arse up into Cid’s touch, watching him with lidded eyes over one shoulder.

    Cid hums, then he leans forward and nips the back of the boy’s neck as he starts to ease one finger into him, slow and steady. “Want to feel the burn, do you? Want it to hurt when I take you?” Cid’s chuckle is a deep rumble of thunder in his chest. “No, I don’t think so. I think I want to be nice to your pretty hole tonight.”
