Summary
How honest are relationships that form among the individuals that make up an elite organization of thieves, assassins, and spies?
For the Crows of Antiva, the game of shadows is much more a way of life. The more contracts you have, the more difficult it can be to see things for what they are.
But you can still fool around and fall in love. -

Summary
[I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a summary about the series, or this story in particular]
BEHOLD! AN ANTHOLOGY SERIES OF THEDAS DURING THE DRAGON AGESorry for yelling, I'm just so excited to post something *uwu*
For all my narrative shenanigans, my process is pretty linear. Sometimes I have these ideas for misadventures that won't fit in a longer storyline, so here we are!
Please enjoy! And if you do (or even if you don't) let me know!xxoo -R

Summary
All monumental stories have varied beginnings, like so many intersectional points on the roots of a great tree, but this one in particular began the moment he realized he might actually care about her; a Dalish elf named Da'lah Lavellan, who the shemlens called the 'Herald of Andraste'.

Summary
He tells her half-truths of the anchor and how she might close the rifts, assures Cassandra that though she is a mage, she is not capable of such extraordinary magic, and laughs genuinely when she asks if Varric is with the chantry. He makes himself fit in.
The world is fractured beyond repair, these people are little more than tranquil, and the fade is locked behind his creation. If this woman, this interrupter with the markings of the all-mother is to be the key to their salvation, so be it. He has made more from less.
---
It was never supposed to happen like this, for either of them. But it did, and everything will change because of it.
(exploring the Solavellan love story in DAI through the lens of what we learn of Solas in DAV; Solas related DAV spoilers will be sprinkled throughout)

Summary
Elgar'nan sees something that he wants, and no one can stop him from taking it.
She is reed-slender and soft-fleshed and moon-haired, her mouth curved to smile and her hands unscarred and uncalloused. She laughs easily, scowls fiercely, and wears every expression in between as if it is a strand of gemstones that she’d like to show off.
She is not Elvhen. She is barely an elf - their language sits like marbles in her mouth, consonants clacking together rather than singing. In some ways, Elgar’nan finds it endearing: like watching a halla take its first steps, still wet from the womb.

Summary
‘Yes,' Solas says quietly. 'I believe that everyone on this boat has a secret.'
Felassan raises an eyebrow. ‘Even you?’
Solas looks out across the river, and for a moment he is dizzy with the way the waves beckon him, the little lies they tell in every shift of the tide. He should deny it, but he finds that he cannot.
‘Most especially me,' he says heavily.Solas is a famous detective with a troubled history dating back to the wars that destroyed his homeland. When he embarks on a cruise along the Enavuris River to pursue a lead in his most recent case, he encounters a passionate love triangle which comes to a fatal end.
Complicating the tragedy is the fact that the victim Justinia, heiress to the Chantry fortune, was murdered with Solas’ own gun. And then there’s the problem of his extremely inconvenient attraction to the prime suspect, Jacqueline Lavellan.
As the cruise continues through the wilderness, rapidly approaching the Veil that separates the south of Thedas from the mysterious north, Solas races to uncover the truth before the killer can strike again.
