    Summary

    For an openly practicing necromancer, Professor Volkarin was a man whose existence seemed devoted to making you forget what blood magic he used on corpses.

    Isolde trailed him silently, watching him with as much attention as she gave to scanning the woods for dangers. When Rook had ordered Isolde onto this mission, Isolde hadn’t needed their purposeful, pointed look to know that her assignment wasn’t simply to guide and guard Professor Volkarin through the Arlathan wilderness. The malfunctioning artifact summoning demons too close to Strife’s camp, less than a week after Professor Volkarin had joined their party, was as much an opportunity as it was an obligation. Rook was shrewd; they always had more than one reason for doing anything they did.

    Watch him.

    A dangerous man, witnessed only by a lowly guard, might well give himself away.

    --- 

    A Veil Jumper guard, scarred by a hard life, develops an unexpected relationship with Emmrich during the events of Veilguard. Features mutual pining, slow burn, and a whole lot of touch starvation.

    Summary

    "There once was a girl who grew up in the Free Marches. One day she got lost while gathering flowers in the mountains, and came across a spirit in the shape of a white wolf."

    The Inquisition is busy rallying up their forces when an unexpected visitor arrives at Skyhold. The presence of the Inquisitor's sister brings forth many questions, and as Mai tries to figure out a way to help her brother in the fight against Corypheus, she finds herself face to face with the truth about her own past and the reappearance of an old friend.

    Summary

    The explosion at the Conclave damages the Veil irrevocably, and breaks open Elgar'nan's prison. Solas is still weak from his slumber, but if he does not find a solution quickly, great evil will be released upon the world. Working in secret within the Inquisition, he searches for a way to seal away the Blight and defeat Elgar'nan before time runs out.

    Of course he cannot afford to be distracted by the elven woman who has become known as the Herald of Andraste - this would be the worst possible time for him to fall in love.

    This is an Inquisition-era AU where the explosion at the Conclave goes even worse and Solas is forced to do a lot more plotting and scheming. Featuring secrets revealed earlier than in canon; some adventures in ancient Arlathan; plus an excursion to the Black City.

    Summary

    She had heard bits and pieces about him, mostly from the Breakfast Ladies who still speculated about his past. Was he a Dalish reject? A city elf with a dark past? A former slave of Tevinter, trained as an apprentice by a powerful and benevolent magister who freed him upon their death? Josephine liked that theory and Cassandra looked rather proud of it before admitting it was far from what Solas himself shared during interrogation. Aevina didn’t contribute her own thoughts on the matter because—

    Mythal, those shoulders. His neck. And his calming presence…which was also very imposing, now that he stood a staff’s length away from her. And a kind face with an expression that was difficult to read. And—and—where was I?

    “You called, da’lan?”

    His voice had an edge to it; annoyance?

    “Forgive me,” he continued. “I was quite confused by the hand motions. I thought you were gesturing to something else.” His grey eyes were cold. “A nug, perhaps?”

    ***

    An examination of how an ancient immortal on a mission to save his world found himself caring for a mortal ignorant of her past—the same mortal who holds the key to his redemption.

    Summary

    He tells her it's over, yet he visits her every night in her dreams. He tells her not to follow, yet always makes sure that the trail leads straight to him. He tells her that his path is one he must walk alone, yet it keeps taking him back to her.

    How far is he willing to go to restore the world he once destroyed to save? How far is she willing to go to stop him?

    A retelling of Veilguard with Lavellan as the protagonist (aka Lavellan IS Rook) that focuses on her complicated relationship with Solas. Starts near the end of Inquisition and continues through Veilguard and slightly beyond. Includes flashbacks to Inquisition. Mostly canon compliant with some small and large liberties taken at times (and a bunch of stuff from Joplin woven back in for good measure).
