Summary
Oil painter and PhD student Solas has been developing his latest body of work for years, with only a month left before his major exhibition opens at the gallery. His pride is screaming at him that something is missing, he just a needs a fresh pair of eyes to look over his final piece.
Enter Rook, the hot mess grad student, always on the move and yet can't seem to make her classes in time. A found object sculptor, she's torn between her workshops and waitressing job in Haven, her theory courses and apartment up in Skyhold, and all the little knicknacks that she picks up and loses between the two campuses.
Solas agrees to drive her back and forth in exchange for her discerning eye. As she helps him see a deeper magic to his art that he thought he lost, he helps her focus her chaos into balance. Inspiration spurs the two to explore other approaches to their expression - in their art, and in each other.
