    Summary

    Modest in temper, bold in deed.

    That was the motto of House Trevelyan. But as a mage in the Ostwick Circle, Evelyn Trevelyan would only ever be able to fulfill the first half. Boldness was not something the world wanted from a mage. Evelyn had long accepted this fact, even as she dreamed of freedom, if only a fraction of the freedom others enjoyed. When a mage destroyed a Chantry in Kirkwall, starting what would become the Templar-Mage War, Evelyn found herself thrust into a world that required boldness not only for survival, but for the savior it saw in the Herald of Andraste. Can an ex-templar teach her to trust herself and the boldness he sees hidden deep inside?

    Summary

    The world is saved, and everything is fine. Mostly. Just a few loose ends remain: a broken infernal engine, thousands of hungry spawn, a stalking eldritch horror, and the nightmare of emotional vulnerability. That’s probably all though.

    What could go wrong?

    This is a continuation of Rin and Astarion’s story from After the Fall.

    Summary

    Rosalind’s stomach was in knots. Bold as she was, she was not inclined to public speaking. She had been deeply unsettled since the beginning of this all, by this pedestal she’d been placed upon, by the weight of her title and responsibility. She was no hero, just a victim of fate, and she didn’t want these people - people she’d come to know and admire - viewing her as anything but an equal. Not a savior, not a legend, not even a noblewoman (hang her title for all she cared). Just Rosalind - a normal woman trying to do the right thing.

    --

    The denizens of Skyhold celebrate First Day. Rosalind contends with unexpected trepidation and finds comfort in the place she feels safest: Cullen's arms.

    Summary

    There are times when they take it to this place: harsh, and punishing, brutal even, but never lacking heat or passion or intimacy. There is complete and perfect trust between them. The hurt is temporary, grounding, brings them closer, unmakes them, then together leads them to that wholeness again. The pain, the agony, the anticipation of it is exquisite—their bodies and their blood and their skin crave it, sing with it. If this is what she needs, he’s willing, he’ll give it to her, he’ll do anything for her. He’d go to hell and back, walk through fire, hurt himself, even hurt her if she asked him.

     

    Trevelyan returns from the Western Approach, deeply affected by the things she witnessed. Cullen helps her recover.

    Summary

    Once, back in Kirkwall, Cullen had an arrangement with a member of the city guard that satisfied his needs. But time changed all things, and he despaired of ever finding a similar arrangement again - that was, until he met The Iron Bull. Problem being that Bull seemed to care far more about sorting out the nitty-gritty of such an arrangement than Cullen ever has.

    Summary

    “Alistair, Alistair, slow down. Breathe,” she said firmly as she gave his hand a gentle squeeze.

    “Right, right. Of course. Okay, here goes.” He took a deep breath to center himself and then continued on. “So I was thinking, a lot really, about what you asked a few weeks ago. About joining you. In your tent. At night. And I think, um, I think I'd like to accept.” There, it was out. That hadn't been so bad, had it? Now was the somehow harder part of getting an answer.

     Or

    Alistair finally feels ready to take his fellow Warden up on her offer to spend the night together.

    Summary

    "The flower you touched, it's called Mistress' Kiss. Its pollen is known as an aphrodisiac. And we just breathed in a lot of it."

    He gaped at her, unbelieving. "An aphrodisiac? Is that- What does that mean?"

    "Can't you feel it already? I certainly can. The fever, the quickness of breath, the sweating?" The building need.

     

    Alistair touches the wrong flower in the forest, causing Lyna and him to have a long, eventful night.

    Or

    Sex pollen. It's sex pollen.

    Summary

    A collection exploring the significance of touch throughout the course of Gale and Tav’s relationship, from the tentative and hopeful, to the exploratory and curious, to the assured and comfortable.

    It was no hardship to ensure her fingers brushed Gale’s as she handed him carrots while preparing supper. Or to press herself against his side as they all huddled together, sheltering beneath the broad branches of an oak during a sudden storm. Or to let the press of her palm linger just a little longer than strictly necessary when healing him… Amongst immeasurable fear and pain, it was a rare comfort.

    It's discussed, in-game, that Gale can't get too "excited" or the Orb in his chest might detonate. As such, the first sex scene we get with Gale is after the Orb has been stabilized. But what if Gale and Tav got impatient . . . ?

    “Halsin,” she whines. “They’ll hear.”

    That hardly deters him. “Then you’d better keep your voice down, my heart,” he whispers into the side of her neck.

    Halsin and Kellis share a tender moment in his tent one night—just a stone’s throw from the rest of the party.

    Summary

    While the cities, far removed from nature, have their boozy wine parties and masquerade balls, the enclave upholds an annual fertility rite attended by those who seek lifelong romantic partners. Matches both anticipated and unexpected are made, and young clandestine lovers often make their unions officially known to their families through this event. Those eager to take part in this rite create their own animal masks to obscure their faces—all while the rest of their bodies are bare and exposed to the elements.

    A chase through the woods. Predators and prey in heated pursuit. A dance as old as the land itself, where instinct rules above all.

    Summary

    Astarion and Rin have fallen for each other, and now they need to figure out what that means while also managing the to-do list of terrifying villains waiting to kill or be killed in Baldur's Gate, including the figure that's been hunting Rin for years.

    This story focuses on the scenes in between and alongside the major canon story beats. It also expands quite a lot on Rin's history/sub-plot, so works best if you've read previous works in the series :)

    Summary

    He groans, bowing forward as he tries to shake the haze from his mind. Tries to fit himself back into his skin that doesn’t feel quite right. Never feels quite right.

    But it feels better when he’s holding them. Feels the most like he belongs in it when they smile up at him. When a cool hand lands like a skittish bird on his wrist or shoulder. When Zyn leans into his chest and closes her eyes as she breathes him in. When Astarion holds him like he’s far smaller than he is as he drinks from him. When they seek him out and fold into him like he’s a shelter.
