Summary
Steampunk AU — Thedas has evolved since the old ages, along with its technological advancements. Being born with magic is now a social stigma, mages are no longer powerful and feared, and the old arts are forgotten. Nobleman Garrett Hawke is about to marry to an influential Kirkwall family, but he now faces the fact that he possesses some of these ancient powers, and must seek help to control and hide his raw magic before the marriage plans crumble to dust. Rumors about a miraculous healer bring him to Darktown, but his journey is cut short when he becomes tangled in a struggle between technology, magic, politics and idealism. Kirkwall is facing impending doom as more and more magical events occur, and people can no longer rely on the things they know to fight back. Bringing back the knowledge of ancient times seems to be the last resort for all, but can anyone rise to the challenge and save the City of Chains?
Prompt fill on DA-kink.

Summary
You are about to read "If on a Yuletide morn a slasher," an If on a winter's night a traveler fic written by an anonymous author. You'll want to make sure you're reading this a suitable distance from your computer screen, in a well-lit room, with the contrast and brightness of your screen properly adjusted. Or else you might want to print it out and read the hard copy.
Ludmilla is logged onto her laptop, across the room from you, re-reading for the thirtieth time the Karl Marx/Friedrich Engels BDSM fic some poor soul ended up having to write for her. She still can't stop chuckling, no matter how much she tries to surpress it.
"Hush," you tell her, because you're really interested in the Calvino fic. The fact that there exists If on a winter's night a traveler fic in the archive is pretty darn awesome by itself, you think, and you really want to find out what, exactly, the anonymous author decided to do with it.
Ludmilla sticks her tongue out at you, which is more or less the reaction you expected.
The cursor hovers over the link and you sloppily strike the touchpad with your finger, summoning the fic to you from its sleeping place somewhere deep in the inner workings of the AO3.

Summary
When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,
'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'Plato's Symposium has a few holes in it.
