Summary
Rook dies stopping Solas's ritual. Fortunately, Inquisitor Lavellan has never been one to leave the difficult tasks to others... especially when it's about putting false gods in their place and setting right what her former lover broke for a second time.
An AU retelling of Veilguard, in which Lavellan takes Rook's place. Ellana takes over assembling the Veilguard, all the while managing the former Inquisition. She uses her connection to Solas to try and figure out how to unite diverse factions against the Evanuris, all the while torn between her lingering love for him and the knowledge that he cannot be trusted fully, even as old and new friends and enemies return.
Meanwhile, a trapped Solas finds his new situation to be a surprising way to show Ellana unexpected truths about the world and himself that he could never have given her a decade ago. However, the past doesn't let go easily, and he finds the dreamscapes he invites her to difficult to craft as an unseen enemy works to wrestle control away from him and have its revenge for past wrongs.
A storm is coming. Where lightning strikes, thunder is never far behind.
