Summary
Ferelden’s mages are flocking to Skyhold as the Chantry debates the future of the Circles, but they are more vulnerable than they realise. Someone has stolen their phylacteries. And the key suspect has feathered pauldrons, a penchant for cats, and an incredibly powerful spirit on board.
It’s up to Cullen to find Anders and return the phylacteries before anyone important knows they’re gone. After the harrowing year he’s had, he may not be up to the task. Heartbroken and exhausted, he’s fallen into old habits his wife can know nothing of.
Meanwhile Solana grapples with her past deeds, Hawke struggles to get over the man he gave up everything for, Cassandra is forced to choose between love and duty, and Celeste has to confront the past in order to embrace her future.
Is 'happily ever after' possible for people who have seen as much as they have?

Wedded life is far from bliss in the middle of a war.
While Cullen plans an assault on Corypheus, Solana struggles to find purpose beyond the label “Hero of Ferelden”. As a Circle Mage, she has no idea how to be a wife, let alone a mother.
But when her child is threatened, she discovers there's nothing she's unwilling to do to protect her new family. Even if it means crossing lines she'd never have imagined crossing.
Meanwhile Hawke is forced to confront his feelings for Anders. Is there any hope for them after Kirkwall?

Summary
Solana Amell is no hero, of Ferelden or otherwise. Alistair ended the Blight. Alistair died. She ran.
For ten years after Alistair’s death, she traveled. She commanded no Wardens, she fought no wars. She kept to herself and tried to forget. Then the sky split open.
The Thedas she discovers when she finally comes down from the mountains is entirely different. Only the Inquisition is trying to set things to rights, and the head of its army is her old Circle crush, Cullen.
Is it possible for a mage and a Templar to live happily ever after?
While Cullen struggles with his addiction and the traumas in his past, Solana has to discover who she truly is. And she might not like the answer.
But true love is more than moonlight kisses and desperate vows. It may just be powerful enough to heal two broken people.

Summary
Solona Amell has a deathwish. It's seven months after the death of the Archdemon and the Hero of Ferelden longs to join her beloved Alistair at the Maker’s side. The fact that the darkspawn continue to swarm the land surrounding the Warden's new base means plenty of opportunity to make that a reality. While an old crush from the circle provides a powerful temptation, it's the broody archer who just might change give her a real reason to go on.
A note: After I was well into this fic it was brought to my attention that another fic already exists that is based on the exact same premise and sharing many of the same ideas. Please know that this similarity was an honest coincidence and be sure to give some love to the author who did it first: Cousland is Alive, by Turbo Nerd.
