    Summary

    With passion'd breath does the darkness creep,
    It is the whisper in the night, the lie upon your sleep
    - Transfigurations 1:5

    Something goes wrong when Dorian and Eve Trevelyan are sent back from the dark future. Eve falls through the porthole before the spell is ready, and ends up not back in Redcliffe but in the lap of Knight-Captain Cullen in his office in Kirkwall.

    The Inquisitor thinks she knows how much trouble she is in- after all, she has heard the stories about Cullen's feelings on mages. What she doesn't realize is that late-Kirkwall Cullen was not only bigoted, but half-mad (from the lyrium idol, from stress, from never sleeping).

    Cullen knows that Eve is a mage. Cullen knows that she has a large, green hole in her hand - But Cullen doesn't think that the Inquisitor is a demon. Slightly unhinged by lack of sleep, stress and his personal demons the only explanation his mind can come up with is that the beautiful mage who just fell in is lap is his Maker-sent reward. He has no intention of letting her go anywhere, much less back to the future.

    Summary

    Convincing the Inquisition of her innocence was hard enough when she was newly marked, let alone a month after fleeing from their custody. Ophelia Trevelyan has no wish for history to remember her as just one more mage to ruin the world, but when her choices are stay and die or run and live, she knows which option to pick. She doesn’t know how she’ll convince the Inquisition to believe her this time, but maybe closing the rifts and making friends with them all is a start.

    Until closing the rifts becomes less about proving her own innocence and more about saving the world one rift at a time. Until becoming friends with them means starting to love them.

    A story in which the Herald flees from the Inquisition, winds up right back with them, and somehow finds happiness throughout all the trials to follow.
