Summary
Something about it made his insides ache, like the gnashing of rotten teeth. Bite down on the wrong thought too hard and send pain shooting all the way down to bone. So he avoided being home like the plague.
That was how he found himself alone the week before Christmas, walking up and down the aisles of a random grocery store like a ghost.

Summary
The man returned to the world is a brittle thing.
He comes to you like a bird with a broken wing, all unspoken panic and limbs that shake against your fingers when you hold him—when he allows you to hold him. He has hands that snap pencils in their shock, dark eyes that search the shadows for monsters and missing friends. -

Summary
They tried to speak at the same time.
“Cullen, I’m so sorry-”
“You cut your hair-”
They stopped, red-faced and falling back into their nervous tics. Cullen rubbed the back of his neck and ground the toe of his boot into the dirt.
She almost laughed, tugging at the white-blonde hair that now barely brushed her shoulders. “I did. And you have a beard.”
The corners of his eyes wrinkled. “I thought I’d give Blackwall a run for his money.”Series

Summary
Clara Stahlbaum had been warned about boys with dark hearts and pretty tongues. They made you feel so beautiful and so clever with their wicked words like breath against the shell of your ear—or a kiss at the base of your throat—you never even felt the knife they slipped between your ribs to cut out your heart.
So when the toymaker smiled softly at her from across his shop, face sharp and his eyes bright and blue like winter ice, she knew the cruelty he was capable of.
She fell in love with him anyway. -

Summary
When Warden-Commander Cousland finds Nathaniel Howe in the dungeons, she remembers.
It’s a strange thing that strikes her, like missing the last step at the bottom of a staircase. The world falls out from beneath her for a breath before she catches herself, and she’s left standing with her heart in her throat in front of a ghost. -

Caleb presses his face between the bars as her door swings open. She steps out into the dim hall. The breath rushes from his lungs.
He is not sure what he expected, but a goblin is not it.
Nott is small and scary and, as she turns to look at him for the first time, incredibly terrified of what he must think of her. -

She’s a fire that burns bright, just like her father.
Sometimes Ahsoka looks straight at her and all she can see is Anakin. All that rage and wit, righteous contempt. She imagines what might’ve been if everything had been different. -

Summary
He nods, staring down at where his hands had fallen turned up in his lap. “I feel torn. Torn between Starkhaven and the chantry, between my vows and my people.”
She lets her head drop against her shoulder. “What does your heart tell you?”
“My heart?” He glances up at her through his lashes. “My heart tells me many things.”
“Bothersome things, hearts,” she teases. “Maybe you shouldn’t be coming to me for advice, my heart always gets me into trouble.”Series

Hawke frowned. “I see.”
“No, you don’t.” He pinched the bridge of his nose. “It’s not like that.”
“Oh really?” She cocked an eyebrow and shifted her weight to one hip. “So you’re not head-over-heels for the Inquisitor and she’s not in love with another man? My mistake. How silly of me.”Series

Summary
He’s whispering secrets in her ear, all the things in the world no one else thinks she worthy of knowing.
“They don’t deserve you,” he says.
She has money and dresses and jewels and a husband with a powerful name, but she wants him. She wants heresy, to be crowned in the Void. But this is Fugue Feast and there’s no such thing has heresy.
She licks her lips. “I know.”
