    Summary

    For V, loneliness is an insidious corruption, an endless sickness. For Johnny, loneliness is a way of life, a deliberate method of self preservation. In the aftermath of an unimaginable collision, two people with nothing left to lose find themselves clinging to one another for salvation. For them, deliverance and desire are two sides of the same coin; a coin they are both watching spin, waiting to see how it falls.

    Summary

    The Inquisitor talks just a little bit more, and Solas listens just a little bit better.

    When he first meets her, he does not like her.

    She is the perfect culmination of every mistake he’s ever made, quintessentially Dalish with Mythal’s vallaslin tracing her cheekbones, built on the narrow bird bones that are so common to the modern creatures that call themselves elven.

    Summary

    "A letter, if one could call it that, in shaky writing, lies folded upon the desk’s surface. It’s half-out of its envelope, easily readable to any who might be looking through the Inquisitor’s affects:

    I know you’ve been reading my mail. Stop it."

    It is definitely inadvisable that they should correspond, but Lavellan and Solas cannot keep themselves from writing one another. All is fair in love and war, and Lavellan is playing at both.

    Summary

    Elgar'nan sees something that he wants, and no one can stop him from taking it.

    She is reed-slender and soft-fleshed and moon-haired, her mouth curved to smile and her hands unscarred and uncalloused. She laughs easily, scowls fiercely, and wears every expression in between as if it is a strand of gemstones that she’d like to show off.

    She is not Elvhen. She is barely an elf - their language sits like marbles in her mouth, consonants clacking together rather than singing. In some ways, Elgar’nan finds it endearing: like watching a halla take its first steps, still wet from the womb.

    Summary

    Someone tore a hole straight to the Fade, but it doesn’t feel like the end of the world.

    Not until a templar smiles at her.
