    Summary

    After the Crucible, Shepard doesn't wake up. Inside the coma, her mind builds Thedas, and a version of Samantha to guide her through it. She doesn't know any of this. She only knows her name is Rook, the fight isn't over, and something about the Inquisitor's voice feels like the only solid thing in the world.

    A companion piece to The Long Game. Not really a sequel as much as a spin-off that I haven't yet decided is canon to the universe it belongs in.

    __________________________________________

    I had this concept in mind for a while, inspired by the fact that Samantha Traynor and the Inquisitor are both voiced by Alix Wilton Regan. Also, there are so many parallels between Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Mass Effect... not to mention Rook just feels like a younger Shepard. It's an idea that writes itself, really.
