    Summary

    Rook dies stopping Solas’ ritual.

    Fortunately, Inquisitor Lavellan has never been one to leave the most dangerous work to others—especially when it comes to putting false gods in their place and repairing what her former lover has broken for a second time.

    This is an AU retelling of Veilguard, in which Ellana Lavellan takes Rook’s place. She steps back into the center of the storm to assemble the Veilguard, manage the remnants of the Inquisition, and hold together a world unraveling under the return of the Evanuris. Using her lingering connection to Solas, she works to unite fractured factions against ancient gods—caught between love that never truly faded and the knowledge that Solas can never again be trusted completely.

    Meanwhile, Solas finds himself trapped, stripped of control, and forced into an uneasy intimacy with the woman he once left behind. Through fractured dreamscapes and half-remembered truths, he begins to show Ellana things he could never have given her a decade ago—until an unseen enemy starts to claw its way into his prison, seeking vengeance for ancient wrongs and threatening to twist even the Fade itself.

    Summary

    Rare is usually a compliment. Rare is a beautiful flower. Rare is fine silks and exotic cheeses. Rare is not something Varisa ever wanted to be. In Thedas, Omegas are cursed to either live their lives in hiding or in suffering. She was safer hiding away with her Dalish clan, but events at the Conclave made the chances of her ever returning slim. One prideful, smooth-talking man drove her from home, and now, another whose very name embodies that thing she hates is threatening to change her whole world.

    I know the tags sound really scary, and it's definitely accurate that there will be a big focus on trauma and the feelings associated, but I do want to say that all non-consensual/r*pe content will be kept vague. Any actual smut in this story will be explicitly consensual. There will be warnings at the beginning of each applicable chapter for those of you who need them. Much love <3

    Summary

    Ellana Lavellan is one of two apprentices to her clan’s Keeper, and not the most skillful of the pair. She expects to be sent away after failing to earn a place as First, but when she stumbles upon an ancient shrine to Fen’Harel and inadvertently summons the Dread Wolf himself, she finds in him a wealth of powerful, forgotten magics. He’ll teach her, if she makes a suitable offering: herself.

    Ellana returns to the shrine again and again, summoning Fen’Harel to teach her more, but time works differently on the other side of the eluvian; centuries pass for him while only weeks go by for her. As she grows to know him as Solas, she discovers that the Creators are not the benevolent deities she believed them to be, and that the Dread Wolf is a man she can love.

    What comfort can a mere Dalish mage offer a rebel god? More than either of them ever expected.
