Summary
Somewhere in the past five years the whole world had upended and dropped her headfirst; she’d scarcely been able to catch her footing in the ensuing fallout. Some days she thinks she hadn’t stuck the landing at all, and all these years she’d just been crawling on her hands and knees through rubble and dried up blood.
"What were we supposed to do, Felix?”
—
Sylvain, Ingrid, and Felix flee to the Kingdom after the fall of Garreg Mach.

Summary
Shepard smiles but something about it feels off, like she’s tired but no amount of sleep will help. The scars crisscrossing her cheek betray that, and it makes his own sting.
The look on her face is gentle, something reserved just for the low lighting of the late hours. A trill she can’t hear vibrates in his chest. It’s good to have her back, even if there’s still a dissonance lingering because he spent the last two years mourning her and coming to terms with that, only for her to come blasting back into his life, as is her style.
“I missed you, Garrus,” she says. “That's so weird to say; I feel like it’s only been a few weeks, but… It’s like I went to sleep for a while and when I woke up everything was different.”
“Yeah,” he mutters. “Guess that’s taking some getting used to.”
Shepard must relearn her place in a galaxy that spent two years moving on and living without her; Garrus finds there are three women he must relearn: the Commander, Shepard, and Jane.

Summary
'cause everything else is obsolete
Spring to fall: six months in the life of the Railroad's best and brightest agents, lying and spying their way across the Commonwealth, stopping the bad guys, saving the day, and having a lot of excellent sex while they're at it. For this pair of loners, partnership has never looked so good. What could possibly go wrong?
(Definitely not something as simple as feelings.)

Summary
‘Have I ever told you why I came to Ferelden all those years ago?’ he interrupts, moving his hand to burrow deep into the hair at the nape of her neck.
‘It was Crow business. A contract from Loghain.’
‘Indeed. What you probably don’t know is that there was no other Crow insane enough to take that contract. It was a guaranteed failure from the beginning.’

Summary
"If I asked you to," Alistair said, miming a violent throat slash, "someone, would you?"
The Archdemon is dead, but Ferelden is desperate for resources and coin. Alistair struggles with the results of Morrigan's ritual and his new duties as king. When he needs a problem solved quickly, Zevran is happy to offer his blade—and his company.
