    Summary

    “So you want me to marry Cooper Howard?”

    He shakes his head, laughing under his breath. “Marry? No, no, lets play that by ear,” he assures you. “What we want — need — you two to do is make it look like you’ve been having an affair.” You must look like you’ve seen a ghost. This is insane. “Explains his divorce, gets people talking about you two as a pair, gets eyes on this movie you’re filming together — now, don’t go outright saying it, of course. We just wanna’ make people read between the lines, get them curious enough to get them into the theater to see the chemistry on the screen...”

    ---

    When Cooper Howard finds himself scandalised by not just divorce, but allegations of anti-American sentiment, it falls to the studio system to try and squeeze what they can from him before he finds himself blacklisted. Fortunately, the only thing the press loves more than exposing a commie is a celebrity scandal -- and the studio has just the woman in mind to play the role of the other woman. Being seen with Cooper Howard while filming your breakthrough movie to get people talking? Easy. Doing the right thing when your career and dreams are on the line? ...Jury's out on that one, champ.

    Summary

    Instead of burning the witches, Thedas thought it civilized itself by locking them up in dismal, dark prisons and preaching sermons about the wickedness of magic. And when war erupts, every weapon from guns to hexes are fair play. The Champion of Kirkwall, the one free witch in Southern Thedas, vanishes into thin air as war consumes Orlais and Ferelden. The Seekers will do anything to bring Hawke back, and if that means taking her best friend into custody...

    Varric Tethras didn't count on many things, but nobody saw Maria Cadash coming. The Carta thug from Ostwick keeps secrets of her own tight to her chest while stepping in as an unlikely unifying force in a world gone mad. The only question is whether the people who call her Herald can save her from the past that threatens to incinerate the woman who could save the world.

    While rated E, most of this work falls squarely within the M rating. Explicit Sexual Content will be marked with a * in the chapter title.

    Summary

    “Jon,” Sansa says quietly, her hands twisting together in front of her. “Tell me the truth. Do you love her?”

    He starts, eyes widening. “Love her?”

    That’s all the confirmation she needs, but Jon rushes onward, stepping closer to her, hands outstretched and voice nervous, reassuring, as if he were a husband swearing to his wife that he loves only her.

    “Sansa, no, no, gods, after this, I hope I never have to see her again.”

    Summary

    “I was not the one to strangle your brother or burn your grandfather.”

    “The North sees no difference.” Sansa’s glassy eyes focused and trained directly on Aemon's, her gaze becoming fiery with an intensity that threw him off before her tone dropped in temperature. “The Starks see no difference."

    The implication was clear and quite intentional, and the blow was all the harder in the knowledge that she took the risk to make it despite how fearful of him she was.
