Summary
"Your pronunciation of el'vhen still leaves much to be desired," he said.
Ellana stared blankly at him until he sighed, putting down his half-crushed pigments. The chair made a soft scraping noise as he stood up and dusted what color he could off his fingertips. "It is pronounced 'ir abelas,' vhenan," his voice dipped low, stressing the syllable on his words before he continued, "Repeat it."
"Ir abelis," she smirked, purposely mispronouncing the word. His tone dropping a pitch sent that thrill through her that she had originally been chasing. Solas shook his head, the disappointment fading from his eyes, replaced by something dark and hard.
Ellana's heart began to beat faster when he stepped closer until he was looming over her. She had forgotten how tall he was, the top of her head only coming up to his collarbones. The touch of his hand on her chin was light, lifting it up so she met his gaze.
"Do you need a more stringent lesson?"
"Perhaps," her voice came out slightly breathless.

All New, Faded for Her by Scaryanne

Summary
A despondent Fen’Harel asks to forget the family he left behind in Skyhold – but in all his compassion, Cole takes a little too much. Suddenly alone, lost, and unable to recall any part of his past, Solas must rely on a Dalish clan to help him remember. But two of his new acquaintances – Siona Lavellan, and her young daughter Athera – don’t feel very much like strangers at all.
My take on a super-tropey (often angsty) cozy Solavellan kidfic amnesia romance. 🥰

Summary
He tells her half-truths of the anchor and how she might close the rifts, assures Cassandra that though she is a mage, she is not capable of such extraordinary magic, and laughs genuinely when she asks if Varric is with the chantry. He makes himself fit in.
The world is fractured beyond repair, these people are little more than tranquil, and the fade is locked behind his creation. If this woman, this interrupter with the markings of the all-mother is to be the key to their salvation, so be it. He has made more from less.

It was never supposed to happen like this, for either of them. But it did, and everything will change because of it.

Summary
Rare is usually a compliment. Rare is a beautiful flower. Rare is fine silks and exotic cheeses. Rare is not something Varisa ever wanted to be. In Thedas, Omegas are cursed to either live their lives in hiding or in suffering. She was safer hiding away with her Dalish clan, but events at the Conclave made the chances of her ever returning slim. One prideful, smooth-talking man drove her from home, and now, another whose very name embodies that thing she hates is threatening to change her whole world.

I know the tags sound really scary, and it's definitely accurate that there will be a big focus on trauma and the feelings associated, but I do want to say that all non-consensual/r*pe content will be kept vague. Any actual smut in this story will be explicitly consensual. There will be warnings at the beginning of each applicable chapter for those of you who need them. Much love <3Series

Summary
Solas,
How many letters have I written and left unsent? How many books lay littered around homes I’ve come and gone from since Skyhold, all full of things I longed to tell you? I lost count years ago. I imagine a bookshelf dedicated to them in the Vir Dithara and that someday, wandering the Crossroads, you will stumble upon the musings of a woman who loved you to the point of madness.

Eight years pass and they both keep track of it, words they didn't share but should have. Words that might have made all the difference.
