    Summary

    Crowley was standing in the middle of the room, hands in his pockets, looking a little lost. Aziraphale eyed the distance between them. Five steps. Five steps, and six thousand years, and a battlefield spanning an eternity.

     

    The story of the little moments over the millennia that shape an angel’s regard for a demon, and the way he slowly, with great reluctance but inevitable surety, falls in love.

    Summary

    Daylen has no reason to trust this former almost-templar he's gotten stuck with. He's not sure why he finds himself doing it anyway, but while he's figuring that out, what's the harm in the two of them spending more time together?

    Or: Daylen has trust anger issues, Alistair has abandonment issues, and Zevran and Leliana are happy they're working through all that but would really like them to just kiss already. Barkspawn doesn't care, so long as they're petting her.

    *************************************

    This story started life as draft 1 of "To Resist and to Yield," so if the dynamic feels similar, it's not your imagination. :) Fair warning, Alistair is a bit less subby in this one, and Daylen is about the softest Dom ever. All of which is barely relevant until the last chapter anyway. :P

    Summary

    “How old were you when you first used blood magic?” Fenris asks him.

    “Twenty,” Hawke replies without hesitation.

    “And the men? When did that start?”

    Hawke is silent for just a beat. His fingers still against the steel tub. His voice is low when he says, “Before that.”

     
    A story about the times when loving another person can’t work, and about the times when it must.

    Summary

    Shifting across the ground, dirt and grass staining the fabric over her knees, Yuna pressed her fingers to the samurai’s throat. The trees whispered, wind hissing through grass and across stone. Beneath Yuna’s hand his skin was clammy, cold beneath the pads of her fingers. His heart did not beat, and behind their lids his eyes did not move. It was a trick of the light, a fancy, a desperate hope giving her false visions of a dead samurai coming back to life; Yuna knew better than to believe in miracles. They were for samurai and honourable heroes in stories, not thieves who had stolen across a beach black with blood to take for herself the one warrior who still lived, whose honour would not let him refuse her when she asked him to save her brother as payment for his life. And yet…

    Yet…

     

    Jin Sakai the Ghost is a story to frighten the Mongols. Those who know him best know he's much stranger than a ghost.
