    Summary

    “Creators,” she breathes, biting back a whimper.

    “Why do you call for them?” Solas inquires, gently didactic, reasonable. His voice is in that paradoxical place between liquid smooth and darkly rough. The tongue of disaster is honeyed. “They cannot hear.”

    Summary

    At last, when she was tempted to speak, he rounded on her. "Control yourself." His tone was sharp, his gaze cutting.

    "How did you know I was-"

    “The greater Fade is malleable. This prison- our prison- is no different. The landscape and its inhabitants conform to your emotions and your desires whether you will it consciously or not. So, I will warn you again. You must control yourself.”

    She struggled to her feet and grit her teeth against the unsteady wobble of her knees.

    “And…” He hesitated briefly. “For whatever petty consolation it’s worth, I was also wrong about you.”

    In which a Dalish Rook and the Dread Wolf himself are forced to navigate the perils of being the world's shittiest room mates.

    Summary

    "I forgive you!" She cried. "All you have to do is stop!"

    If he considered it, it was not for long. Soon his shoulders would square, his chin turning up in that way she knew so well. The return of Pride. No matter the instance, it would always come back to this:

    She, reaching out, begging him to choose their love. He, leaning in, only for a fraction of a moment, and then no more.

    "Ir abelas, vhenan... but I cannot." He kept his eyes away, his face and body turned. "Long before we met I... failed my oldest friend. She died for that failure," he explained. "If I leave the Veil in place, I am destroying the world she wanted. And I will have," he stuttered, "she, will have died for nothing."

    Her heart was breaking. Before her and inside her. Her Pride was shattered. So, it would make sense now to turn away. All the same, she would sooner be destroyed at his heel than alone in a world without him.

    There was no honour in it, sure, but it was the truth of the thing.

    She would allow him his final betrayal. She would accept it; forgive it as the price of loving him.

    Her betrayer.
