    Summary

    There are no arrows or armor here, just Sebastian's bare hands twisting in the fabric of Anders' robe. His knuckles turn bone white, and he yanks the other man up violently. Anders doesn't make a sound, doesn't blink. It's too much to bear, digs and claws past Sebastian's ribcage right to where his heart beats the rhythm of grief. They've been here before.

    "You should've died with her."


    Sebastian mourns. Anders doesn't feel much of anything at all.

    Summary

    In the pew, she traces the cover of her chant book and watches the Hightown crowd separate into its strata. The Harrimans group up with the De Launcets, while the Cavins cling to the Brekkers. No one comes to talk to the Hawkes, same as it ever was. A man brushes up against the pews as he walks down the aisle, and a few leaflets drop from his hand as he passes her, getting distracted with the microphone cord that snakes up the tiles.

    “You dropped this,” she says. She drops the pamphlet herself when the man turns around. Because standing in front of her, looking suddenly and grievously ill in his Chantry stole, is Sebastian Vael.

    Hawke comes home for the holidays and runs into a ghost from her own past.

    Summary

    When she looks at him, she sees past the cassock, past the shining cross around his neck, into the dark heart of him. He thinks she could stab him again and he would stand there and take it, and hope that his blood spatter across her face looks as good as her freckles do.

     

    Cardinal Enver Gortash is dispatched by the Pope to investigate claims of heresy and ritualistic killings in a small town.
