    Summary

    Okay. So she was fighting next to a templar, who would probably only lock her up for the rest of her natural life, and an elf who may or may not get an erection from watching her expire in a pool of her own blood. Hawke had been in worse places.

    Surviving as a mage in Kirkwall is harder than it sounds. A story told in vignettes.

    While some vignettes overlap or replace some scenes, most are meant to be inserted between plot points in the game. I do not bother to explain what exactly is going on in these, so if you have no knowledge of the game, the finer details might escape you, but you shouldn't be entirely lost.

    *Now with art!*

    Summary

    This is about Astarion being in control.

    Not so much being in control of Gale, but being in control of what happens to his own body. In control of how and when his body is consumed, if he allows it at all. After so long with no bodily autonomy, no say in how he was used, no say in his pleasure or pain, sometimes Astarion needs to remind himself that the only person in control of his body now is himself.

    -

    Astarion works through some issues, Gale is there to help.

    Summary

    After her “death”, Jinx travels by airship to the vast and unforgiving Shurima desert to hunt sand-monsters and escape her own. Rather than successfully running from her grief, however, she finds herself an increasingly involved spectator to everyone else’s.

    A story about grief, ghosts, identity, and the slow, aching road to love and reformation.
