    Summary

    Rowan sits bolt upright, blood rushing to her brain, and nearly loses consciousness again.

    “Varric?”

    She looks around. She’s not in Minrathous. She’s not in the Lighthouse. She’s in a small wooden hut, the Frostback chill seeping in through the thick pine walls and competing for dominance with the heat of the fire crackling in the fireplace.

    She’s in Haven. 9:41 Dragon. She traveled through space and time, arriving not at Arlathan before Solas’s ritual, but at the Ferelden Conclave, just to be blown up, hurtled back into the Fade she’d so recently escaped from and then out again, now marked by god magic.

    Fuck.

    When Rook discovers that time travel exists - and her friend Dorian helped pioneer it - she begs him for a favor: send her back to the ritual so she might save her mentor and friend, Varric, from Fen'Harel's knife. Dorian sends her back, all right - eleven years back, to the moment everything went to hell and the Herald of Andraste was born.

    Summary

    He shuddered and sat back on his haunches. It felt like a personal touch, a cage designed just for him.

    The room smelt vaguely damp and gritty. There was a hole in the floor to serve as waste disposal. The walls gleamed sickly under the overhead light. On the far wall of his cell, he noticed another room, seamlessly attached but separated from his by eight long, metal bars, too light and smooth to be made of the same material as the box. Venturing a little closer, he realized he wasn’t alone. Hunched over in the dark, taking in deep, shuddering breaths, was Solas. He’d been stripped of everything but his leathers and his clothes were oddly bare without the pauldrons and chest plate.

    “Solas,” he whispered.

    Elgar'nan captures Rook and Solas with the intention of making them ruin each other. His plans don't go as smoothly as he would like.

    Summary

    Passion without wisdom to give it shape and direction is as empty as wisdom without passion to give it power and purpose.

    As Rook learns more about Solas, she remembers a past life with him that has intrinsically tied them together even more than what even Solas had planned. Like Varric said, even on his best day, Solas would never see her coming.

    Summary

    Rook was good at killing people - or spying on them, depending on what the job called for. What Rook wasn't great at was planning how to kill his own gods, deal with an ex-lover that will not take no for an answer, have another god in his head, and oh. Yeah. Spend time in an underwater prison where they literally shove a Demon of Vice into him. That was fun.

    At least, though, he got to rescue the Demon of Vyrantium, who he might have watched with awe and a bit of a crush since he was thirteen, and he's working with capable people. Good people. They can do this.

    If Elgar'nan would stop deciding that Rook and his sort of demon were excellent replacements for Falon'Din and Dirthamen. He's not a god, just a Crow.
