Summary
He tried to chuckle. "I'm not alright. But I don't know how much good an artifact would do, any more. Thought I had more time. Foolish of me." He shoved weakly at her. "Go. You need to go. Gather the others. Get them out of here, before I --"
She wouldn't let him finish. "I could feed it my magic. It isn't the same as an arcane enchantment, but --"
"We have no idea if that would even work. It's too much of a risk. I can't let you--"
"I don't care!" Her voice broke. "I don't care. Let me help. Let me fix it. Please. It's what I'm for."

Summary
She wished desperately for Anders, who would tell her what an idiot she was for trying to hit things with her staff rather than using it to cast but would heal her anyway. She wished for Aveline, who could pick her up like a sack of potatoes and carry her home as easy as anything. She wished for Merrill, who had the best chance of any of them of actually escaping the Fade and befriending every spirit in the process.
But most of all, Hawke wished for Varric.

"I don't sleep well," he says. "Not for a long time."
"Nightmares?" she asks softly.
"Yes."
"We have that in common." She gives him a small, tender smile and his chest compresses painfully. But then her expression falters, a film falling over her eyes. "It must be difficult, having so many who depend on you. Knowing their lives are in your hands."
"It is," he says. "But everyone here knows the risks. They would not be here if they didn't believe in our cause."
"I know that." Her hand is still in both of his. His fingers curl loosely around her wrist. Her pulse flutters. "But I hate the idea that people could -- will -- die because of me. For me." Her voice cracks. "Especially people I care about."
"Some things are worth dying for," he says, staring up at the fractured sky.

Summary
"Do you know what I miss about the Tower?" she said abruptly.
"Uh," said Alistair, feeling somewhat frazzled, "the lack of darkspawn? People that aren't actively trying to kill you? Roofs?"
Solona snorted, still staring into the fire. "You've clearly never been inside a Circle before. I'd rather fight darkspawn a hundred times over than face a pissed off first enchanter."
"And thank the Maker for that." Alistair shuddered dramatically.
She chuckled and bumped him with her shoulder. "Baths."

Summary
She swallowed, her throat suddenly dry. "You're a templar."
"Ex."
"What?"
"Ex. I'm not a templar any more."
"But it doesn't -- does that change the way you see people? Mages?"
He stared at her for a long minute. She could see him thinking. At last he said, hoarsely, "Are you afraid of me?"

Summary
He unexpectedly turned as he closed the door and caught Daphne observing him. Their eyes met, she blushed in embarrassment, and—
Every time he smiled, really smiled with his whole face, the world around him seemed to dim in comparison. He made her want to take up painting again. Or pastels, or any of the other art forms she’d left behind when she graduated from RISD and started her first bookmaking apprenticeship. She’d never felt compelled to make representational art, but Gale Dekarios in the full bloom of joy was absolutely worth representing.
In which tiny, remote Icepeak College mysteriously hires a massively overqualified antiquities scholar in the middle of term, and its book arts workshop director finds herself inexorably pulled into his orbit. In her defense, he's really fucking hot.

Summary
A big, sweeping tale of two mature people coming together and trying to make it work, despite their pasts. Told in the Inquisition's own words, through letters, personal journal entries, and reports.
Humor, sex, friendship, and most of all, romance. My Inquisitor is a capable and slightly odd mage, who finds herself in a strange dance with a good man, who wants only to atone for his past and build a new life for himself. Can people whose lives were forever altered by the Circles truly find a future together?

Summary
The first intrusion was the beeping— medical-grade, reassuring, insistent.
It was familiar, like her heartbeat. That rushed in next, the pulse of blood pushing away the sheltering dark. Light filtered in through her eyelids, violet and soothing, for one long sustained breath, and then her entire left side erupted into one giant itch.
Shit.
"Guess who got blown uppppp," crooned a staticky voice, and that was enough to place her. If she’d still been in Io General’s ICU, Will's voice with that same sing-song tone would be coming at her, sure, but from an uncomfortable plastic chair next to her and not from the neuro-comm embroidered into her synapses.
