Summary

“And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing over me
And the questions I have for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean deliver me
Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
But now I am under, oh
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
I found the place to rest my head.”
-Never Let Me Go, Florence + The Machine

Youth is a tangle.

For Aran and Tristan, it is the beginning of their first year at Ostwick University, the first time they’ve both been truly on their own, and the struggle of trying to understand themselves and each other. A decade of fast friendship, first loves, heartbreaks, and separations have led them to this place: the precipice of adulthood and an uncertain world ahead.

Summary

Tristan and Aran have been lovers for more than a decade, best friends for twice as long. Their bond is the strongest it's ever been, and their life has found a wonderfully steady rhythm---until a trip back to their hometown, a proposal, and coming face-to-face with an important person from their past send everything spinning.

Summary

Olivier accepted the glass as soon as Aran poured it, beaming. They were all together, for the most part. Bruised, some of them, but together. He lifted his glass, meeting their eyes. “To Catullus,” he sang, breathing in deeply.

“To grumpy Tevinter poets,” Aran raised his glass.

“To us,” Tristan hummed lazily. “And fuck the rest of them.”
A group of friends make their way through the ups and downs of life as transplants in Orlais. Artists struggle to be heard in a world that becomes increasingly complicated. Relationships begin and end; hearts break and mend again.

Follows the events of Crash and Never Let Me Go.

Summary

Of all of the places Dorian Pavus could have fled to from Tevinter, he had assumed Nevarra City would be the easiest. How hard could it be to get a job at the university, given his credentials?

But when things don't go according to plan, he gets a job at Cafe Clavicle, a job he is wholly unqualified for, working alongside an actual skeleton.

Luckily, things aren't all bad when he meets a handsome Senior Professor of Necromancy, but how can he tell his new acquaintance that he holds the job that Dorian wishes he had?

Summary

Lucanis always walked with purpose, yet this purpose seemed to take him less in a straight line and more on a meandering journey, lips pulling up into the shadow of a smile at the Necropolis. “Emmrich,” he said, and the word alone sounded relieved. Like the last weight had lifted from him.

“Lucanis,” Emmrich answered, straightening his lapel absently. “Welcome. And Spite. Lovely to see you both. The Crossroads were calm?”

“Quiet,” Lucanis said. Too quiet, Spite agreed, in a tone that bordered on grumbling. “Quiet is good.”

Summary

The one-eyed elven warrior shudders in his sleep and fixes Astarion with gazes that make his blood boil and leave him wanting. It’s been a very long time since he’s trusted anyone and it’s never turned out well for him in the past.
Though... the parasite has let him walk through doors and bask in sunlight. Impossibility after impossibility. Perhaps he needs Zeylin Callis.
Maybe the man might also need him, too.

Summary

“How could I refute the wisdom of the Dread Wolf?” she sneered. “You’ve survived, seen it all, and I am but an inconsequent rat to your greater scheme.”

“A rat can go places wolves and dragons cannot. So can spiteful seeds.” His lips set in thoughtful poise before mirroring her frown, “I am less interested in a title for this tale than the story and the roles of the characters—they call me the Dread Wolf, what will they call you when this is over?”

~
or:
The Inquisition sends a nobody-elf back in time to stop the Dread Wolf. Steal his orb, prevent the Breach, and snatch anything else of significance along the way. But this is Thedas, where everything goes wrong.
