    Summary

    Aragorn’s hunt for Gollum was interrupted by what seemed at first but a village disturbance—a stray child in distress, or so it appeared.

    Yet there could be no mistaking the points of her ears, nor the light that lingered in her gaze.

    Long had the Eldar ceased bringing children into a fading world. Yet here she sat, perched on a common oak, her bare feet swinging, her copper hair alight.

    How had she come to be? And why, when all wisdom said such joy had passed from the world?

    Summary

    It has been three months since the Veilguard fell. Three months since the rest of the Evanuris — long supposed to be dead — emerged from the Veil. Three months since Solas abandoned her.

    Three months that Rook has been at the mercy of vengeful, insane gods.

    The plan to save her, like many of the plans Solas has, is decidedly terrible.

    But she is at the mercy of that, too.

    Summary

    Nearly a year has passed since Rook last saw Solas. It's not that she intentionally puts him out of her mind, but the sting of remembering his manipulation of her vulnerability is enough psychological deterrent to prevent her mind from drifting there on the average day. And now, here she is; drifting. Hurtling, more like, thanks to the alcohol.

    or

    After a night of drinking and trading stories with Dorian and the ex-Inquisitor, Rook wonders about Solas and his journey to atone, alone in the Fade. It's just enough to draw her back into his orbit.

    Summary

    The pain does not serve him, but he must carry it anyway.

    The not-pain does not serve him, but at least the pain will not be so lonely.

    Summary

    He tells her half-truths of the anchor and how she might close the rifts, assures Cassandra that though she is a mage, she is not capable of such extraordinary magic, and laughs genuinely when she asks if Varric is with the chantry. He makes himself fit in.

    The world is fractured beyond repair, these people are little more than tranquil, and the fade is locked behind his creation. If this woman, this interrupter with the markings of the all-mother is to be the key to their salvation, so be it. He has made more from less.

    ---

    It was never supposed to happen like this, for either of them. But it did, and everything will change because of it.
