Summary
“There are two people I can think of who might know anything,” Lavellan said. “Experts - on the Fade, on the history of elvhenan. Unfortunately,” a grimace, “one of them has vanished, and if all the resources of the Inquisition can’t find him, I doubt you can.”
“And the other?” Fenris demanded.
“Something from my own history, for once. Not an Inquisition thing. There is - a criminal,” said Lavellan. “Exiled from the clans. She was the blood mage who murdered Clan Sabrae and its Keeper. Last I heard she was living in Kirkwall. A very dangerous woman - possibly insane, actually - but I met her once at Arlathven, and if anyone could help you -”
“Merrill?”
_Hawke was left in the Fade. Fenris goes looking for him. He doesn't go alone.

Summary
The city is quiet from twelve stories up, and they sleep wrapped around each other with a fan that buzzes for the white noise more than the air circulation, and the routine washes the days in and out like a steady tide.
Then, one day, Kurapika wakes up with an aching jaw and spits a molar into his hand.

Lio Fotia: The Man Behind the Myth
April 23, 2049
By Benjamin GiraudWe all know his name by now. Leader of the Mad Burnish, the inferno terrorists. He had been arrested barely a week before, apprehended by Galo Thymos and Burning Rescue 3rd Division; and just hours previous, he had gone on a burning rampage through the city.
But when I first encounter him, he is bringing a water bottle to a tired volunteer. In fact, I don't even recognize him at first. Covered in ash and without the patented leather jacket, he looks like any other disaffected citizen. I snap a picture of him as has become habit, but it's only later that I truly learn who my subject is.
Lio Fotia is something else. His voice is quiet, but it commands attention when he speaks. He gives orders definitively, and when he does not know the answer he has the grace to direct you to the person who does.
Or: the aftermath of saving the world, through social media.

Summary
The Burning Rescue firehouse is turning into the place to go if you need to speak on behalf of the Burnish. There’s lockers cleared out for the files, tables pushed together into a tiny office. Ignis brought Lio a tablet computer on the fourth day, said “Government issue,” and dropped a taped-up charger next to it. The building hasn’t run out of coffee yet.
They’re all right, these firemen.

Summary
“Peter,” May said, jabbing her index finger into the center of his chest. “Liv and I are getting married. That is the end of the story.”
“She is my archnemesis!” Peter said, throwing his hands up in the air.
“Well,” May said, turning away from him. “That’s just something you’ll both have to work on. I’m going to go do the laundry now.”
“ARCHNEMESIS,” Peter shouted at her retreating back.

Summary
Getting this much information, this much freedom to help had been a battle. It had only been after the fourth Spider Kurapika had killed that they'd admitted to how much of a mental and physical burden killing one put on them, and only after the sixth (and countless arguments with Leorio) that they'd finally agreed to let Leorio do this much.

Summary
Leorio has always jumped into things both feet first, and in normal settings it’s alright to end up a little out of his depth. But pissing off a dynastic mafia family, uprooting his entire life to escape them, hitting the road with no back up plan… is slightly less than “alright.”
Leorio ends up flying by the seat of his pants with eighteen scarlet kurta eyes in a box in his passenger seat. And he’d be in substantially less shit if Kurapika answered the damn phone.

Summary
After decades of violent war, peace between the nations of Parnassus and Promare has finally been established by the promised union of Prince Galo Thymos and Regent Lio Fotia. The two have never met, but their wedding is suddenly the most important event in recent history and they know that millions of lives are riding on their ability to get along, or, at least, their ability to fake it for the cameras.
Unfortunately, neither are the type to just sit back and let things happen.

He's not a business owner, a felon, or one of Lio's partners. He's a firefighter, a political aide, and, well. Just a guy who walked into a bar.
... And all thirty-two motorcycles parked outside of it.
