Summary
Dropped into Thedas, Kirkwall to be specific, Minerva has some hard times before she finds her way. Making money, finding places to stay, and gaining skills she needs to survive are all things she needs to work out if she expects to make her way in a world so different from her own. The story here is mostly snapshots of events and her dealing with the people she met along the way. This involves getting herself mixed up with the plot of DA2 more often than she’d like.
This story begins with the first time she meets Cullen.

Summary
The newly appointed Duke of Baldur’s Gate is in a politically arranged engagement.
The problem? He’s still in love with the Bhaalspawn.My previous work "Blood Tastes of Iron" is the prequel to this (completed) story in which an OC [female elf] Durge plays the street-smart best friend to Gortash, who struggles to choose between his political power and an authentic existence. The Morphic Pool scene is not canon here. This is the ending I felt this ship deserved!
[4/4 small update; I changed the name of the fic. I think this fits better.]Series

Summary
The wrong man lived.
Gale Dekarios sacrificed himself to save the world and left his true love, Rowan Ravenshade, behind to survive the aftermath- hollow, grief-stricken, and tucked away inside her uncle's manor while he sells her future to the highest bidder. She had nothing left. No companions. No allies. No one to come to her aide.
On the other side of the city, Enver Gortash is dealing with a Parliament full of potential enemies, a succession crisis he can no longer ignore, and a list of eligible bachelorette's that he finds increasingly offensive.
All except for one.
He remembers the weight of her as she fought him. The sound she made when the world almost ended before their eyes. And for the last two years, he's had to convince himself that it hasn't affected him. That he has not thought about it since.
But karma comes for those who lie to themselves.
A "political marriage." A problem solved. A wife who will almost certainly attempt to murder him at the earliest available opportunity.
Enver Gortash has survived worse.
Probably.

Summary
Rook raised an eyebrow at him. “I wouldn’t have expected you to be interested in my training.”
Solas looked surprised, “You tread a path whose shadows you embrace, because it leads to a destination that you choose. I, too, have found that sometimes in the quiet stillness of the night, such darkness reveals truths that daylight hides.” A wolfish grin crossed his face as he added, “And perhaps it is not only the shadows that hold my interest.”
She said quickly in an attempt to fill the silence, “Watching me is not all that interesting.”
“Would it disappoint you to learn that I found it to be a pleasurable pastime?” Solas asked lightly.
Rook’s stomach swooped as she responded in a kind of test flirt just to see how far he would take this. “I had no idea that you found watching me . . . pleasurable.”
Solas approached her. He captured her in his gaze, his eyes bright with interest. “Perhaps I enjoy discovering what prowls in the night. I find curiosity often leads to unexpected delights.” Solas started to leave, but before he disappeared he said, “The blanket was most welcome.”
He knew! Of course, he knew.
Rook had no idea that Solas could be so . . . provocative.
