    Summary

    After the Fade kiss, Solas has taken some time to think. Luella tries her best not to push, but he seems hell-bent on pulling her in all the same.

    Each stolen peck at him deprived her of a sentence at the end, each brush against his lips or hand against his hips that rendered him quiet with the delicious flush of a ripe peach, stole something of their conversations, moved her to stay up until the small hours of the night, until both of them were too tired to navigate the clumsy ritual of parting for bedtime. She wanted to split him, multiply him, multiply herself—a pair of them could kiss forever, a pair of them could talk forever, a pair of them could finally fall silent and exist.

    Summary

    In the core of her self she comes to a vast chasm of purpose, dark and devoid, and recognizes it as that which she felt closing on the tailwind of Mythal's flight.

    Her spirit teeters the edge over that smallest sliver of what remains, feeling no fear for the plummet—only a lust and wonder for that which is undiscovered, unmapped, unknown.

    --
    An exploration of Ghilan'nain's descent from "the most sensitive of us" to what she eventually becomes, spanning the earliest days of her birth to her escape from the Black City.

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk’s head tilts, and he looks at Kim Dokja almost curiously, like a house cat watching a flock of doves beyond a glass window pane.

    “I used to think that you made me behave in a way that is unlike myself, but lately I’ve begun to think that what you do to me is exactly how I’m meant to be.”

    Summary

    “Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”

    She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.

    “And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.

    Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”

    Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”

    He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.

    “Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”

    -

    Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?
