Summary
The Veil is steady, the elven gods are dead, and the Blight is over. All that is left to do is rebuild and rest, though Dawes finds the former easier than the latter. In a small village not far from Redcliffe, Dawes learns that grieving is a process, and though the battle is behind him, it will still dog his steps for some time.

Summary
Tarquin seeks change like a dog sniffs for scraps at the docks. Perhaps it's the familiarity of the path. From place to place, prize to prize, always trying to hunt down the end of it. Because there is an end, right? A city, a person, something. It wasn't Ventus, and it wasn't the military. It wasn't the Templar Order. The Shadow Dragons—now that's close. Names and faces and drinks to share and stories to laugh over. A man with a mask and many names and blue eyes, with a soft laugh and a sense of purpose so brightly burning he would've put Andraste herself to shame. And Tarquin feels that way, like a moth drawn to a flame. Can't get too close without getting burned.
Then a couple of corrupt gods escape their prison, and the Sixth Blight begins, and suddenly there are worse things he could throw himself on than a walking conflagration of divine ambition. Tarquin closes his eyes, because the heat of a hearth feels the same as a pyre when you stand this close.
OR
A character study dressed up in the raiments of porn-with-plot following Tarquin as he realises he's stupid in love with his boss.

Summary
Dawes 'Rook' Mercar has long accepted that his life would be a grueling and bloody-knuckled fistfight. He dreams of a new Imperium, of slavery abolished, of the Venatori eradicated; but his blind vengeance for the murder of his mother muddies the waters of his intentions.
A chance meeting six months ago delivered him Scout Lace Harding, and impossibly, a reminder that goodness can still be found in some hearts. While he works through the brambles of his own mind, he asks her, selfishly, to wait for him.
In the throes of the Sixth Blight, his traitorous heart has other plans.

Summary
During an eventful night fighting darkspawn, Warden Lilja Thorne is recruited by none other than Varric Tethras and Scout Lace Harding. Dismissed by the First Warden for not following orders, Warden Thorne joins her fellow dwarves in their search for a friend, Solas, a trickster elven god trying to tear down The Veil. When their search finally reaches its assumed end, the ritual they are trying to stop turns into a whole new set of problems, leaving Lilja "Rook" Thorne to build a team and save the world from the Evanuris and Sixth Blight.
Despite being someone who keeps the more intimate details of her life to herself, Rook finds herself surrounded by new companions that she readily calls friends. Slowly, but surely, Rook falls for one Scout Lace Harding, and while she has her reservations, she finds herself happily following the Scout wherever she may lead.
