Summary
Cassandra Pentaghast both admired and distrusted Garrett Hawke. After the events in Kirkwall, she was convinced he could help quell the mage and templar war, even if she partially blamed him for it ever happening. Upon actually meeting him, though, she discovered the human behind the tale of the Champion.
Garret Hawke lost faith in the Chantry years ago, and he held a great deal of distrust for its representatives. When he met Cassandra Pentaghast, he didn't expect someone who understood his decisions. Yet upon meeting her in Skyhold, he found there was much more to the woman than just her service to the Divine.
And neither of them ever expected to fall in love.
This is a collection of ficlets and snippets in Garrett Hawke and Cassandra Pentaghast's life together. Chapters are not necessarily in chronological order so check the chapter summary or notes on each chapter for context.

Summary
Seven days. Seven documents. One man learning what it means to be seen, chosen, and loved.
Tarquin has spent most of his life following orders—first as a soldier bleeding for an empire that saw him as expendable, then as a Chantry adherent trying to fit into boxes that were never meant for him. But after walking away from both, he finds himself writing: journaling, crisis-of-faith explorations, scar inventories that become self-acceptance manifestos. Through fragments of writing spanning his time with the Shadow Dragons, we see a bitter ex-soldier slowly learning to trust again. Learning what chosen family actually means. Learning that love—real love—isn't conditional on conforming to other people's definitions of worthy.
And learning that sometimes the most radical act of faith isn't believing in institutions, but in the person who sees the divine in you when you can't see it yourself.
A week-long journey through letters, journal entries, and personal notes chronicling one man's evolution from surviving to actually living—and finding someone worth building a future with along the way.

Summary
In which Tarquin and Ashur find themselves railroaded towards getting married for political reasons.
---
“Give it a second to be funny before you break out that tone of voice,” Tarquin said. “It’s very funny.”
“He’ll push through Dorian’s reforms to make this happen,” Ashur said tilting his head and thinking about politics. He was musing. Tarquin could almost hear the wheels spinning in his head as he worked his way through it. “He’s paranoid to be going that far.”
Ashur wasn’t giving him any quarter on the humour. He was taking it entirely too seriously.
“It’s ridiculous,” Tarquin said.
“It is but not necessarily in ways we can’t use.”

The Moments Between by DragonRacer

Summary
Rook's life hasn't been an easy one. From surviving under the Qun as a Saarebas to eventually escaping and finding a new purpose with the Grey Wardens, now she's expected to save the world from a pair of ancient elven gods when she can barely keep her own wild magic under control. Guess it's a good thing the team includes a seasoned professor with a gentle touch who might, quite possibly, be the first true connection Rook has ever felt after a lifetime of pain and distrust.
A long-fic re-telling of the events surrounding Dragon Age: The Veilguard. but with major focus on original content involving the moments in between the known story beats. The moments that happen before and after missions and the moments during downtime that forge relationships, that force periods of reflection, that nourish the soul, that cause us to grow, that refill the emotional reserves to press forward, that remind us why - and for whom - we are fighting.
