A soul all in armour

Summary:

Lux, emotionless even to other templars, has spent her entire life knowing nothing but what she was ordered to obey, saying little but what was required of her. Anders, A Bit Much even to other mages, can't help but prod her, to see if she has a voice.

And when life comes crashing on them both, it's better to hang together than fall apart.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are worried about the power dynamic inherent in an templar/mage relationship, don't worry, they're incredibly stressed about it too and are making an effort to discard that dynamic.)

Bonus: Go look at the chapter index, all the titles make a fun little poem!
