Summary
Five years after the Inquisition’s disbandment, a disillusioned Dorian takes a leave of absence from the Magisterium and journeys south to visit Cullen, where the fully recovered once-commander runs a rehab program for templars out of his manor house in the Bannorn. Dorian, wounded grievously in both body and spirit by The Iron Bull's final betrayal, is still struggling with his losses and the man they've made him. Seeing his old friend awakens memories, both good and bad, which he'd thought long buried. As the two reconnect, spending time together on the farm with Cullen’s many dogs, they begin to realize they may have more to offer one another than simply reminiscing about a shared past.

Summary
Post Getting Lucky
Everyone you see is fighting a battle. Sometimes, they’re together with others against other groups of people, and sometimes they’re alone fighting a battle inside their own mind.Life is struggle.
Life is war.
And there’s more than one side to every war.
Arthur Maxson and the Brotherhood of Steel will be facing something more devastating than the Institute battle that could rip them apart from the inside out - And meanwhile, each person within this war is fighting their own personal battles.
Relationships, past lives, duty verses loyalty, personal responsibility, hard biased views, dehumanization of the enemy, and personal struggles with themselves - metaphorically and literally, push everyone past their breaking point. Who will survive? Are there ever any real winners?
**existentialism, morality, alternate life paths, and the two sides to the coin of war.**
