Summary
Brienne is at the fabulously beautiful five-star Cinnamon Wind hotel in the Summer Isles, just outside of Tall Trees Town. She's lying on a deckchair by the eternity pool that overlooks the beach, wearing nothing but a sensible swimming costume, a shawl to stop her shoulders burning, reasonably priced sunglasses, and a big floppy hat Margaery bought her.
She comes down here most mornings just after sunrise to make use of the cool temperatures and read a chapter of her book, which is a very interesting exploration of maternal grief and the psychological impact of...
Oh, what the hells. She comes down here every morning to look at *him*.

Summary
“Are you Gal’s mum?” The man asked. Brienne narrowed her eyes. She definitely hadn’t met this man before - frankly there was no way she would have forgotten meeting someone this beautiful. He was, by far, the most attractive person she had ever seen in real life. Golden blonde curls, sharp green eyes, a jawline that could cut glass. Frankly it was absurd how gorgeous he was.
“Yes.” Brienne answered reluctantly.
“I’m Dunc’s dad. I don’t know if Gal has mentioned-“
“Oh!” Brienne answered, instantly relieved. “Yes, of course. I’m Brienne, lovely to meet you.” She offered her hand. The man took it but with his left hand instead of the right. He shook it backwards but was smiling easily. Christ, even his smile was stunning. Brienne couldn’t help but look down at his right hand and saw an empty sleeve where the hand should have been. Don’t stare, Brienne chastised herself.
“I’m Jaime.” The man introduced himself. “Lovely to meet you too.”
Cheesy single parent au anyone?

Summary
Halsin has every reason to hate Drow. From his time in the Underdark to Minthara’s “hospitality” at the goblin camp, they’ve brought him nothing but pain. So imagine his surprise—and confusion—when his savior from said camp is none other than a Drow. He tries to be civil, he really does. After all, she’s not quite like the others. She’s not sadistic, conniving, or bloodthirsty like those he’s known. Logically, he knows she had nothing to do with what happened to him all those years ago—but trust is harder to build than resentment.
Vyssira is nothing if not a survivor. She survived Menzoberranzan. She survived her parents’ cruelty. She survived Baldur’s Gate. And when everything was taken from her again and again, she survived that too. Now, with a mind flayer tadpole in her skull and a ticking clock toward ceremorphosis, she has no choice but to rely on others who share her fate—and a druid who wants nothing to do with her. Maybe, this time, survival could mean healing too.
AKA the super self-indulgent enemies to lovers character study about Halsin and his feelings towards drow, because I don't see it getting explored as much as it should. Be the change you want to see in the world, kids.

It was weird, right? It was definitely weird to be invited by your new friend with benefits to their estranged mother's funeral.
Well...Ethan supposed there were worse ways to get to know someone.
(or, ethan and heisenberg get to know each other the old fashioned way--by using each other as a shield for their family baggage.)

Summary
“Mister Dekarios, you brought home a friend?” Tara hovered in front of Yrelia but because it was dark she couldn’t tell if the tressym was scrutinizing her or not.
“Ah, well Tara, Yrelia isn’t just a friend,” he said with that sweet smile of his. He took her hand and held it tightly. “No, in fact, she is much, much more than that. She is my fiancée.”
Tara’s gaze flitted between Gale and Yrelia. “Interesting,” she said. “You leave for months and return to me saying you’re engaged. You didn’t think to mention this relationship when we saw each other in Baldur’s Gate?” She flew over to Gale. “I swear, Mister Dekarios, you never cease to amaze me.”

Summary
It has been a few months since the battle with the Netherbrain and Baldur's Gate is trying to rebuild.
As heroes of the Sword Coast, the once tadpoled companions head out for new adventures. Astarion finds a temporary cure so he can walk in the sunlight. Shadowheart reconnects with her parents and her goddess Selune. Karlach and Wyll head to Avernus to find a fix for her infernal engine. Tav is alone.
Living in the Lower City with Scratch and the Owlbear cub, Tav keeps herself to herself. Since Gale's sacrifice, she has refused her friends pleas to join them on their adventures and instead burrows herself away in a dingy house she calls home. This is all set to change when the charismatic Archduke reaches out and offers her a deal. Rumours of the Crown of Karsus resurfacing, a Bhaalspawn murder cult on the rise and the chance for Tav to regain what she has lost.
All she needs to do is survive.

Summary
Nearly a year has passed since Rook last saw Solas. It's not that she intentionally puts him out of her mind, but the sting of remembering his manipulation of her vulnerability is enough psychological deterrent to prevent her mind from drifting there on the average day. And now, here she is; drifting. Hurtling, more like, thanks to the alcohol.
or
After a night of drinking and trading stories with Dorian and the ex-Inquisitor, Rook wonders about Solas and his journey to atone, alone in the Fade. It's just enough to draw her back into his orbit.

Summary
Astarion turned toward her, his eyes locked on hers.
A thousand thoughts raced through her mind at once, each one more painful and more pitiful than the last. I missed you, rang unbidden through her head, dampening the sparks of any anger she may have felt. If he had opened his arms to her she would have run to him without thinking, even through his unbridled rage I missed you so much.
I love you, The thought rallied against her defenses, begging to break past her lips I wouldn't have done it if I didn't. I'm sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
But she didn’t. In fact, she didn’t say anything. Her mind went blank besides one command: run. And she did.
—————————
It’s been three years since the fall of Netherbrain. Three years since Tav lost everything: her oath, her purpose, and the love of her life. Now, Tav has become adept at being no one: a life reduced to a shiny memorial plaque. Until the man who wished her dead shows up on Gale’s doorstep.

What Is It That Stays My Hand? by darkurgetrash

Summary
“It is ridiculous. Any sane person would hate him—declare him an enemy, or brand him an irredeemable villain. It would be simpler, too, to let him push her away, to let his bitterness and anger snuff out her sympathy. To give up.
Rook exhales, long and slow. No. It wouldn’t be easier—not for her. She never did know when to quit.
Her heart has already decided for her.
She is going to save the Dread Wolf. Whether he likes it or not.”
Or: Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but make it Dreadrook, add a heavy dose of slow burn, and dial up the angst.

Summary
Ayliel Lavellan partakes in a night of revelry to celebrate her recent dragon slaying. But she finds something more than an alcohol-induced stupor: a hidden notebook filled with the most beautiful things. The alcohol has loosened her lips - or pen, in this case - and she decides she needs to write to the author.
Unbeknownst to her, the notebook belongs to the Inquisition's stoic Commander, who finds the stranger who defaced his art notebook undeniably charming and intriguing.
The real world Cullen and Ayliel are anything but charming around each other.
Enemies to lovers + pen pals -- think "You've Got Mail" in Thedas.
