    Summary

    “Is it true?” Evelyn asked.  “What Leliana said about you.”  

    Solas stilled; as best his network could discern, the spymaster had largely abandoned her search, considering him a loose thread, an unsolved mystery--but not a threat. 

    “What did she say?” he asked, stalling.  

    Evelyn’s full lower lip twisted; she judged him for that evasion.  

    “That you left because of me."

    It should have been a reassuring answer.  That he hated Evelyn--he imagined that much must have been obvious to anyone watching the two of them, by the end.  He could obscure a great deal about himself, but he had been born in a world where there was no hiding his feelings and the spirits they engendered.  No, he imagined everything he felt was carved clearly on his face for anyone with eyes to see.  

    “Yes,” he whispered.

    Summary

    A series of novellas that constitute one long story. The episodes follow a continuing plot but can be read separately, like an adventure-of-the-week type of thing.

    The setting is Ancient Elvhenan, the Evanuris are fickle and cruel, the slavery is guised as worship, and lyrium is still blue. For now.
    Solas is revered as the High’Protector of the People and the General of Mythal’s Army. In the past, the roles are reversed. Lavellan is the one who must hide her identity and plans—mostly because her plans sum up to kill the Evanuris—while Solas is firmly convinced that she is an agent sent by his enemies.
    There is a lot of goading and teasing on her part and a lot of self-control on his.


    Depending on how slow you like your slow build, the best alternative places to start the series are:
    E04: The Jest (ball in Arlathan, first look into the Evanuris)
    E06: The Touch (heavy on plot and character development)

    Summary

    The Forgotten Ones weren't always... well, forgotten. The stories were likely partially true, the tales of cruelty and hiding in the darkness. They were everything they shouldn't have been - those who caused terror, pain, despair. The woman the world would eventually know as Inquisitor Lavellan was, in fact, a Forgotten One. Somehow Isathe was not imprisoned by the Dread Wolf in the abyss with the rest of them. Whatever the reason, the former spirit of Curiosity coaxed into physical form was stuck in the aftermath of that event. She felt the moment the Veil was created and pulled her even farther from her home. Then she slept. Slept for thousands of years until she woke in a world where elves were no longer what they had been. She had to find a way to stay alive and adjust to the world that formed from the Betrayal so long ago.

    Isathe was an ancient elf, a member of the Forgotten Ones and awakened years before the Breach before being pulled into the Inquisition. Hiding herself from the prying eyes of those who would condemn her for her past, the wolf that haunts her dreams and the unsettling gaze of the apostate elf who appeared to know more than he let on.

    Summary

    The Inquisitor's heart broke after the Exalted Council when her family of friends scattered to the winds. She was emptied of hope as Solas's power and reach grew. Left with a dead past and dreading the future, Ixchel Lavellan lay down and chose not to wake up.

    As the Veil began to unravel, and the fabric of reality tore apart at the seams, a desperate ally sacrificed everything to give her a second chance.

    And Ixchel will never forgive him.

    Summary

    The assignment came to her in the start of the spring as a paper slipped under her door.
    No warning, no talking. No inkling of heads-up beforehand.
    That was what things had become: just another assignment. Just another paper slipped under her door. Just another, just another.
    But they were never just assignments to her.
    "A new one. Pride," the note had said. Under it, written jaggedly as though hastily added: "It's hot-headed."
    But that's not all he was. All he would be.
    He was rash. Impulsive. Curious to learn more. Passionate. Loving. Possessive. Creative. Cool and warm. Bitter and fun. Timid and lively. Multifaceted. Always prideful in some way.
    But before all that, he wasn't simply just hot-headed. Before he realized he was a he and not an it. No, he was also inquisitive. Always wanting to know why.
    She had never been asked why so many things were the way they were. Not even when Interest had been reborn.
    And now, she was to help Pride be reborn an Arlathan elf.

    -------------------------

    A/N: This story tells the events of how Solas, a Pride spirit reborn into flesh, became Fen'Harel. It was written before the release of DA:V.

    Summary

    "I forgive you!" She cried. "All you have to do is stop!"

    If he considered it, it was not for long. Soon his shoulders would square, his chin turning up in that way she knew so well. The return of Pride. No matter the instance, it would always come back to this:

    She, reaching out, begging him to choose their love. He, leaning in, only for a fraction of a moment, and then no more.

    "Ir abelas, vhenan... but I cannot." He kept his eyes away, his face and body turned. "Long before we met I... failed my oldest friend. She died for that failure," he explained. "If I leave the Veil in place, I am destroying the world she wanted. And I will have," he stuttered, "she, will have died for nothing."

    Her heart was breaking. Before her and inside her. Her Pride was shattered. So, it would make sense now to turn away. All the same, she would sooner be destroyed at his heel than alone in a world without him.

    There was no honour in it, sure, but it was the truth of the thing.

    She would allow him his final betrayal. She would accept it; forgive it as the price of loving him.

    Her betrayer.

    Summary


    Ellana Lavellan raced to Minrathous, at the end of the world, to plead with her heart once again to stop. But he could not, and he turned away from her in apology. But then, a bond broken, a vow ended, and he was free. As soon as he had the choice her went to her, their lips joining finally in a gentle kiss. They stepped into the rip in the Fade, ready to find something new. The two had never been allowed to just be, without expectation or obligation, but now they had all the time in the world to learn how they fit together. This is a tale of two reunited lovers who embarked on a journey of love, hope, regret and forgiveness.

     

    Set immediately post-Veilguard and will have extensive DAV spoilers.
    Rated E for explicit smut, a couple of chapters will bear specific content warnings where appropriate.

     

    Huge thanks to the Fen'Harem discord for their words of encouragement, without them this would be a tamer fic x

    The pain does not serve him, but he must carry it anyway.

    The not-pain does not serve him, but at least the pain will not be so lonely.
