    Summary

    Sometimes when she looked upon him now, she saw the ghost of his father in his face–-barely older than a child, with as much idealism and kindness in his eyes and roundness to his face as his son now held.

    -:-:-:-

    Drabbles about a little family that has been through far too much.

    Summary

    in·dul·gence

    1. the state or attitude of being indulgent

    2. a thing that is indulged in; a luxury

    3. (in the Orlesian Chantry) a grant by the Grand Cleric of remission of the temporal punishment in purgatory still due for sins after absolution.

    //

    Alistair presses his knees into the uneven ground and bows his head in deference. The position is familiar – achingly so, to the point where, in this brief, gulfing valley between mountains of pleasure, parts of the Chant float to the forefront of his mind unbidden.

    But when he looks up through his lashes, lids drawn heavy, there’s no cold, stone altar of Andraste before him, nor the equally freezing faces of Chantry sisters etched deep with disapproval.

    No, not even close.

    Summary

    Alistair's meeting with Goldanna did not go as intended, and he tries to work through his issues with Elissa.

     

    There were several long moments where he tried to wrangle the maelstrom in his head into concrete phrases, and not just inane banter about cheese or lampposts or other nonsense. Even he knew that some things were too important to joke about. “I want to finally feel like I have some control.” He couldn't hold her gaze – it was too raw, too real, too much. “I need to know I’m not worthless,” he whispered.

    “You’ve never been worthless,” she said with a surprising amount of fervor. “I’ll always need you with me.” She stretched up on her toes for a kiss, but she didn’t close the final distance between them. “And if you want control, you can have it with me.”

    Summary

    Modest in temper, bold in deed.

    That was the motto of House Trevelyan. But as a mage in the Ostwick Circle, Evelyn Trevelyan would only ever be able to fulfill the first half. Boldness was not something the world wanted from a mage. Evelyn had long accepted this fact, even as she dreamed of freedom, if only a fraction of the freedom others enjoyed. When a mage destroyed a Chantry in Kirkwall, starting what would become the Templar-Mage War, Evelyn found herself thrust into a world that required boldness not only for survival, but for the savior it saw in the Herald of Andraste. Can an ex-templar teach her to trust herself and the boldness he sees hidden deep inside?
