Summary
“Did you love her?” she asked, very quietly. Almost like she didn’t actually want to know. Or maybe didn’t have to ask.
He turned his head to look at her. Her hair was plastered to her head, and her eyes – always so wide – were searching him for something. Love. It wasn’t an emotion he’d let himself feel in a long, long time. And the past was so far gone he couldn’t rightly remember how it even felt.
No, that was a lie. He remembered. He just didn’t want to.

While continuing the hunt for her father, Lucy MacLean learns she was not the Ghoul’s first Vault dweller…

Summary
Cooper knows he and Lucy are going to need help to take on Hank MacLean and everything Vault-Tec’s done. And he knows just where to find it. Trouble is, the journey will be long and the ‘help’ may not be interested. But he has to try. He owes her. And what better way to pay her back than to give her a chance at changing the world...again?
Or, the Ghoul once took on a bounty for the General of the Minutemen’s head. It didn’t go how he planned. But, then again, nothing in his life ever has.

Summary
Wasn’t up to him. Her decision. Not his circus, not his monkeys. Besides, he had his own to track down. He'd tipped his hat and left. That should have been the end of it. Better that way.
So why is she in front of him, calling him by name?

Summary
A chess piece, moving in straight lines? Or a harbinger of war and change? Hruse Ingellvar thinks she might be both. When the world ends, and the choices are death or desperation, she willingly goes back to the beginning to see if she can stop it from happening.
Now the only question that remains is will she turn the Dread Wolf away from the duty he thinks he can’t escape, or sacrifice herself for the greater good?

Summary
“No gifts?”
Lucy scoffed, but lightly. “Gift giving isn’t important in the Vault. Space is limited and it’s not like there’s anything new to be had anyhow. The time spent together with loved ones is what matters most.”~
It’s Christmas, not that there’s much to celebrate in the wasteland. But the Ghoul and Lucy find something to exchange just the same.

Summary
The sink has hot water. That's a marvel unto itself. The Ghoul lets it run over his hand.
"The shower works, too," Lucy says. "I haven't checked, but if the sink works, the shower will. Vault water chips are an all or nothing situation."
"Huh."
"It's funny, seeing you standing there." Lucy sits on the bed they're supposed to share. "This is exactly like the apartment my husband and I were going to share in Vault 33." When the Ghoul looks at her, she stops cold. "Not that you're my husband. Obviously. Or that this is anything like that. Or that either of us chose to be here. Actually, you know what? I think I'm just going to test out that shower anyway."
The Ghoul chuckles.
A radstorm chases the Ghoul and Lucy MacLean into a seemingly abandoned vault, but. Well. It's Vault-Tec, after all.

Summary
He is nothing like either of the images she had conjured in her head. She had painted the Solas of Varric’s Inquisition into a small, spindly figure who was uncannily similar to her cousin’s husband, Abren, who had memorized old ballads and carved little, delicate, wooden halla. Fen’Harel…well, it depends. There was the giant wolf, of course, although how giant seemed to change, depending on what mood she was in when imagining him. And the elf…

(A pitch-black room and an ice-cold stone floor. Pleading words whispered into the emptiness. A last resort. A last hope.)
~
Aradin Mercar, once of clan Lavellan, is barely holding her own sanity together. It is somewhat unreasonable, then, to expect her to be able to hold all of Thedas together as well - especially as Thedas itself continues to turn against her.
