    Summary

    He shuddered and sat back on his haunches. It felt like a personal touch, a cage designed just for him.

    The room smelt vaguely damp and gritty. There was a hole in the floor to serve as waste disposal. The walls gleamed sickly under the overhead light. On the far wall of his cell, he noticed another room, seamlessly attached but separated from his by eight long, metal bars, too light and smooth to be made of the same material as the box. Venturing a little closer, he realized he wasn’t alone. Hunched over in the dark, taking in deep, shuddering breaths, was Solas. He’d been stripped of everything but his leathers and his clothes were oddly bare without the pauldrons and chest plate.

    “Solas,” he whispered.

    Elgar'nan captures Rook and Solas with the intention of making them ruin each other. His plans don't go as smoothly as he would like.

    Summary

    I've'an'aria: The Veil.

    Loathing twined all at once with that fury; in an instant, the maddening, somatic thrum of awareness had overtaken her. That too-slick, self-assured feeling of him, pressing, smirking, consuming the recesses of a domain he sought to seize. Intoxicating dregs of wine staining the very fabric of her Self, fingers of pure will slipping behind her eyes and curling amidst her thoughts, entitled as they were to worm their way within.
    "And why," he derided, syllables unspooling in a drollery of draping silk, "would I ever do that?"

    Their regrets, their very lives, inexplicably tied. Bound by a hasty mistake, trapped by a forced hand.
    And Solas is still as determined as ever to right his wrongs.

    Summary

    Rook’s face flared red at the suggestion he had done this deliberately. “It’s not like I knew trying to call in would bring you here. I just wanted to ask if you knew how to get out, so I can get back to cleaning up your mess.”

    “My mess-?” Solas' eyes narrowed, and then, slowly, he smiled. “I will kindly impart my wisdom, in that case. The path to progress is participation.”

    “Ah,” said Rook articulately. He could have guessed as much, but he’d hoped for a different solution. “So I have to...?”

    “Lie with the individual at the centre of this memory,” Solas clarified.

    “Right,” said Rook, then he gasped. “Wait, hang on-”

    “You poked your nose into places you are not welcome, without considering the consequences, as is your wont,” said Solas, a touch sardonic. “This is the result. Are you pleased with yourself, Rook?”

    Rook falls into another of Solas' memories. (Un)fortunately, so does Solas.

    Summary

    That night, Gale finds it hard to fall asleep in the darkness of their plush rooms at the Elfsong. He definitely doesn’t imagine Solas’ hands gently cradling his face, his thumb pressing on Gale’s lip as if asking for entry. Nor his purple eyes resting on Gale, looking at him like a lanceboard problem to be solved. And, least of all, really not at all, does he think about how Solas had mumbled the word Impressive looking not at his spellwork, but right at him.

    Gale starts dreaming in the Fade shortly before the events of BG3, and continues over the three months of the whole Netherbrain business. In the strange dream landscape, he runs into none other than Solas, the Dread Wolf, who post-Inquisition walks the Fade.

    Spoilers for most of Baldur's Gate 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition, some light Tevinter Nights ones as well as Veilguard speculations. Updates Saturdays.
