Summary
She hadn’t expected to find Dedue in the greenhouse, although she isn’t surprised to encounter him there. In truth, she is there because she had overheard a soldier admit to some nervousness about the war and she hoped that the relaxing scent of some lavender would soothe his worries, and that perhaps gathering it would soothe her own. She likes the greenhouse, its humid warmth, its scent of wet earth and fresh green growth, the glossy leaves and the bright flowers whose tender petals unfurl even in the dead of winter. It doesn’t get cold in central Fódlan the way it does in the northern parts she had frequented as a mercenary, it likely will not snow again this season, but there is still a bite to the early-morning air and when she steps into the greenhouse she pauses to adjust to its warmth and its wetness and its rich scent of growing things.

Summary
“I like it when you tell me what to do. I like this.” His fingers play with the edges of the collar, teasing at the clasp. The leather sits comfortably against his skin, soft and warm. “It reminds me that I’m yours. And you’re mine.”
They release a shuddering breath, eyes dark, swallowed by the weight of their pupils, and yeah, they’re thinking about it too.
--
Asher and Babe, and the life they share together.

Summary
Frank’s hand, cupping the side of her face. Frank’s eyes, meeting her across the truck’s cabin. Frank’s mouth, forming soft words that she barely hears. And then he’s flipping the center console up and unbuckling her seat belt, dragging her across the seat towards him as he wraps her up in his arms.
He smells like pine trees.
“Breathe,” Frank is telling her, the word a soft caress on the shell of her ear. His hand rubs along her spine soothingly. “Just breathe, Karen.”
(Or, Karen's dad dies and she has to deal with the fallout. Thankfully, she's not doing it alone.)

There was no other way, he wants to say. Instead, he says "I couldn't lose her," and it's the truth, too much of it, but he's fraying too, the taste of blood too strong on his tongue, his clothes painted in it.

Summary
Sten paused in the polishing of his sword. “I did not think to ask before. Why did you decide to join me?”
Yara smiled. Everyone had asked her why she was following Sten back to Par Vollen, but her answer always remained the same.
“I don’t know,” she said.
He studied her intently for a moment, then went back to polishing his blade. “This is unheard of, kadan. Qunari always know their purpose.”
“I know,” she said. “But I’m not qunari.”
*******************
Also known as: a quiet, contemplative slow burn during the ship ride from Denerim to Par Vollen, with eventual smut between Warden Yara Mahariel and Sten. Because I’m incapable of writing smut sans feelings, apparently.Bookmarked by playwrightfate

Summary
"I burned so long so quiet you must have wondered/if I loved you back. I did, I did, I do." - Annelyse Gelman, 'The Pillowcase'.
Judging by the look on his face, Kamala assumes he did in fact find something sinister, and braces herself. What could it have been? A message written in blood? Severed body parts? Bedbugs?
“There’s only one bed,” he says, grimly.
“Well, we are registered here as a married couple,” she ventures.
(On what ought to be a very low-key recon mission to an oceanside resort, the Detective and a particularly surly vampire spend more time investigating one another than their surroundings.)

Summary
There are many types of kisses, Olivia learns, during the first few months she spends with Mason.
An unexpected love story, told in moments.
--
She's soft against him, all gentle curves and warm skin, the last of the tension easing from her as she catches his gaze, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
"You're insatiable."
He matches her grin, flashing the length of a fang, just to watch the way her breath catches in her throat, that little skip of her heartbeat. “Vampire, sweetheart.”

They rarely stop to be soft, but this time, this night, he needs the touch to be gentle. He thinks she might not notice it – how his hand trembles – but he needs to remember there’s things his hands can do that aren’t stained with red; that don’t leave his muscles aching; that makes him different than the people and things they’ve needed to push aside to be alive.

Summary
“What is it that you do not like about him?” Josephine asks suddenly, and Ellinor looks at her, open-mouthed. Scandalized.
“What is it—that I don’t like?” she sputters. “It’s Cullen who doesn’t like me! He—he chastises me. He underestimates me. He’s always in a bad mood and—and he just…” She takes a deep breath. Stop it, she thinks; she’s let her emotions get the best of her. A rare loss of control. She smooths her jacket instinctively. “He looks at me and he sees a highborn girl with nothing to offer the Inquisition but a mark on my hand. He judges me entirely by who I was. Not by who I’m trying to be.”
