    Summary

    For the kink meme prompt:

    Josephine holds an Orlesian-style ball at Skyhold and everyone is to attend masked and out of uniform. Trevelyan decides that this is the perfect time to blow off some steam without giving anyone reason to brag about having slept with the Herald of Andraste, so she finds a partner for some masked, inebriated, anonymous sex.

    Unfortunately, she didn't realize that her stressed out, buttoned-down Commander had the same idea...

    Summary

    The first night Marty gets Rust home and put to bed he whimpers like an old hound dog in his sleep, making these ripped-raw noises that well and gurgle up past his lips like fresh blood from the hole in his gut all over again. Doesn’t know he’s doing it, course not, but Marty lays there next to him in the dark—the man’s only got one bed, ain’t no shame in that—and has to wonder about the Vietnam-grade shit Rust’s got playing in living technicolor in his head.

    Summary

    John knew pain as well as he knew his own heart—not the pain of a wolf’s claws at your cheek and throat leaving eternal scars on an unkindly face, nor the pain of a gunshot wound bestowing copper stains on linen shirts and dirty skin, but pain, desperation, loss—the kind that tears apart the mind and soul until it fades like dust into the abyss, decorating the sky in its enigmatic constellations.

    He saw him, sometimes. A shadow in the distance, a shimmer of movement in his mind’s eye. But he could not—would not believe it. How could he? To believe would be to trust, and to trust would be to admit his undying desire to see him again, revealing all he so carefully buried long ago.

    What John didn’t know, however, was that Arthur still lived. Not in this world, perhaps, but in another far less fathomable one, watching from afar as John forged upon the lives and hopes that had been sacrificed for his and his family’s future.

    But could John, the man forever destined to delay the truth of his own heart, bring himself to believe again?

    Summary

    There’s a very brief moment where John thinks he’s actually going to die, but then the exit is right there and he’s out and running in the street like he’s just busted out of a burning building, and there are cops in front of him and behind and more coming out of alleys he didn’t even see because this stupid terrible city is eighty percent alleys, and that exit was false hope because he’s definitely about to die and-
    And Arthur is there.
    Arthur is always there.

    Summary

    It had been a mistake to answer Mary's letter and it would be a mistake to run away with John, as much as he was desperate for it. John had a family, and he...

    More ghost than person.

    Maybe he was a coward.
