    Summary

    Corypheus is gone, but it has not been without cost. Among the thousands lost was Garrett Hawke, Champion of Kirkwall - left behind in the Fade at Adamant.

    In the midst of a mountain winter, a grieving Fenris collapses half-frozen at the gates of Skyhold; he is saved from death only by chance, when Commander Cullen spots him from the battlements. Fenris' skin is laced with the very substance that has nearly destroyed Cullen, his face belonging to a time best forgotten - his motive unclear.

    What will his presence mean for the Inquisition, and for its Commander?

    ---

    So I started off thinking, hey there's a lot of parallels between Fenris and Cullen. It's kind of a shame they didn't have more interaction in the games. I did not expect to have an entire novel's worth of story to tell! In many ways a big love letter to the incredible characters and lore featured across the series.

    Technically post-canon/canon compliant, but pre-Trespasser.

    Summary

    Their eyes met, like they had a million times before, like they had for years.

    Some things were new. Dorian was absently twisting a ring that wasn’t there, the skin of his finger slightly red where a discreet rose golden band used to be. Cullen was nursing an apple juice on the rocks. And yet, some things would never change. Whether they were new recruits excited to visit every hotel the airline had to offer or 20 years into their career, a 10 hours layover to operate the last flight from Denerim to Orlais and the first back to Denerim in the morning was never enough for them to get any rest. They had always met in the quiet of the night, away from hotel rooms they didn’t use, at the 24/7 bar, a moment that was just theirs.

    Summary

    Dorian sat for a moment, thinking about the broken motorcycle and the hot bleeding mechanic and his father’s idea of heaven and hell and the empty apartment he was about to drive back to. He recalled Felix’s words. Don’t pay hundreds of dollars to fix a bike you don’t know how to ride just to drive yourself off a cliff, metaphorical or otherwise, when things go to shit.


    A story about broken things and the journeys we make to heal and to love.

    Summary

    'What was it you said you did again?’

    Cullen returned with tea. ‘Sorry?’

    Dorian took it, cheeks reddening to have to repeat himself. ‘What was it, specifically, you said you did again?’

    ‘Um,’ Cullen said, looking a little lost. ‘I’m a… musician?’

    Or

    Dorian lives in London, in a flat that requires a roommate. Enter Cullen. Cullen is gorgeous, he's kind and he cooks. He apparently dabbles in music too. Dorian despises music after what his rock star ex did to him, but that's OK, Cullen just messes around with his guitar now and then, right?
    Right?

    Summary

    Keith didn’t move and neither did Pidge. It was a little awkward until Keith finally said, “Maybe we could officially officiate this..?”

    “What do you mean?”

    “Fist me.”

    Pidge recoiled and sputtered, “Keith, what the f-” She was cut off by Shiro’s bellowing laughter from the observatory deck.

    With his straight face unchanged, Keith lowered his left hand with the stopwatch and lifted his right hand, fisted.

    Pidge actually sighed with so much relief, “OH. You mean fistbump! Right.” She slapped her forehead to remove the very very wrong image her imagination drew for her, “Holy shit, Keith, we need to work on that but yeah sure, I’d be honoured to officiate your physical contact program whatever.”

    Or

    That one time Coran realized Keith was too distant and decided to make him undergo the 'Physical Contact' Initiation Program which then led to --> 5 times the paladins realized Keith was an actual cat.
