    Summary

    And perhaps Anders would have said something, before, but his old life had been stripped from him, the house he’d built had been taken apart brick by brick until he was exposed and he didn’t have the energy, not when he was focused on getting out so that he could see his cat and Garrett, in that order. Simply put, his hair had been cut. It may never grow back.

    Summary

    During a "session" with Hadriana, her magic goes haywire and Fenris is turned into a ferret. Rather than fix his apprentices mistake, Danarius keeps the magical enhancement as a "bonus."

    Fast forward to Kirkwall. Fenris just wants to be free - and killing his former master and apprentice are the first steps towards that freedom. But a chance meeting with Hadriana drives Fenris into hiding...which leads the group to think he's been taken...and Anders left to "ferret-sit" Ser Chompy...

    Who isn't really Ser Chompy after all.

    Summary

    Caleb Widogast is going to perish right here in the warmly lit library of his own mind’s creation, and the cause will be Essek—deep in thought, pale brows furrowed —and the way he keeps touching his fucking mouth as he thinks.

    Summary

    The strange object sits like a silver spider by his wrists, long jointed legs entangling his hands. It’s beautiful like finely wrought jewelry, but it wraps itself around Essek’s fingers and wrists in an undeniably threatening manner.

    Summary

    Essek’s figure fits into the landscape of his nightmares with sickening ease. Purple robes press against the tall wooden back of the chair, the silk crushed where the leather straps pull tightly against shoulders; elbows; those delicate wrists. His frame looks small, slumped, a twisted dreamscape parody of fantasies in which the sleek line of a mantle is stripped down to bare soft curves of shoulders and throat.

    Yes, he is here, of course he would end here, spun into the sticky web of your past. And you were the one who tripped the wire.

    Summary

    Looking down at his body, he sees the soft gleam of the sun-oil he had been convinced into applying even as he hides in the shade, after the first few times when his skin had grown sore and dry the next day. Sunlight bounces off bright surfaces, of course; it takes a lot to be fully untouched. Even safely in the shade, the heat finds him, seeps in through the porous skin, and warms him to the very gut.

    Or; the fic where going to the beach makes Essek horny

    Summary

    A battle with a blood mage results in an interesting lyrium-bound poison clinging stubbornly to Fenris. The affliction forces him to spend more time with Anders, and the tension is palpable as Fenris is forced to trust Anders, a mage he doesn’t trust, with his life, and repeated closeness to the lyrium marks that have plagued his life for years.

    Summary

    After Anders is captured by templars and made Tranquil, Nathaniel finds himself grieving both the man he loves and the relationship they had barely had a chance to begin.

    Hope appears in an unexpected form when Justice returns from a mission in the south, restoring Anders to something like his former self. But the cure Justice's proximity provides is only temporary, and fades whenever they are apart. Now Nathaniel and Anders must figure out how to move forward, knowing their relationship has likely been changed forever.

    Summary

    Just because Fenris' skin was branded with lyrium and he used the Fade's power to crush men's hearts, that didn't make him a mage. But Templars rarely saw reason, and Fenris never got that lucky. Wrongly imprisoned in the Kirkwall Circle, Fenris meets Hawke, a mage with fire on her tongue.
    A story of grudging friendship and overcoming past prejudices. A daring tale of escape with no mercy for those who wronged them.

    Summary

    In an AU in which Anders and Fenris both end up in Kirkwall a decade earlier, Leto brings Anders home to meet his family.

     

    He liked Leto. In a way he hadn’t liked anyone in a long time. If they got to see each for more than a handful of hours every few days he’d have done something about it by now. Up until they found the tunnels, he’d never been able to see Leto anywhere other than the Gallows kitchens when the elf came with the morning deliveries. Gallows Templars weren’t the brightest- they still hadn’t figured out that when Anders said ‘oh come on please, anything but kitchen duty’ what he really meant was ‘please sentence me to an afternoon of light work where I can steal biscuits and flirt with the grocery boy.’

    Summary

    Essek was haunted by Caleb’s hands. The man was… very explicit with the use of his bare hands in everyday life, and it never failed to rile Essek into something of a frenzy, hiding behind a book or busying himself with other work just so he didn’t have to stare directly at the wanton displays. Kryn culture dictated that hands were an extension of not just the physical self, but the spiritual self. A drow could reach back through ages and lifetimes with a touch to a Beacon, and similarly a single touch of skin to skin could transform and reach across lifetimes to connect two people in ways more than simply physical.

    Caleb, by Kryn standards, was a bit of a slut.

    Summary

    Caleb and Essek have settled down post-campaign, and have adopted a handful of cats. Caleb knows that Essek isn't much of an animal person in general, so he's not particularly hurt when Essek avoids getting too involved with the animals for fear of being overwhelmed.

    Or so Caleb thinks-- until he's gifted a bracelet enchanted with Speak With Animals, and Essek's secret is revealed.

    It was an unspoken rule among Hawke’s friends, a rule carved into their very souls for fear of what chaos would be unleashed if the rule were broken: Do NOT speak of Fenris when Anders is present, and do NOT speak of Anders when Fenris is around.

    Isabela observes the development of the relationship between Anders and Fenris.
