    Summary

    After King Alistair Theirin’s coronation, Gwen Cousland left Denerim and spent her time drifting across southern Thedas and fulfilling her duties as a Grey Warden. For ten years she missed the friendships she had enjoyed during the Blight—and Alistair’s love, even though she knew that ending things between them had been the logical decision.

    Now, she has been summoned to Skyhold to help train the Inquisition’s troops, and she is already anxious to speak with Leliana and Morrigan for the first time in years. She has no idea that Ferelden’s king is also at the keep on diplomatic business. When the two reunite, they may have a chance to find new happiness together, but only if they can win a deadly race against the Calling.

    Summary

    Daylen has no reason to trust this former almost-templar he's gotten stuck with. He's not sure why he finds himself doing it anyway, but while he's figuring that out, what's the harm in the two of them spending more time together?

    Or: Daylen has trust anger issues, Alistair has abandonment issues, and Zevran and Leliana are happy they're working through all that but would really like them to just kiss already. Barkspawn doesn't care, so long as they're petting her.

    This story started life as draft 1 of "To Resist and to Yield," so if the dynamic feels similar, it's not your imagination. :)
