No More [Blackwall/Adaar]
And he was just thrown aside. Dead. Lifeless. Gone. His eyes were open, staring straight at her as the demons and Venatori captured Leliana. Solas. Blackwall. Leliana. Dead. Dorian stood behind her, yelling at her, grabbing her arm to keep her from running to her friends. If not for the sudden pull from the rift, she would have. Gods be damned if she wouldn’t react to her friend’s slaughter.
The second she saw Alexius again, she lunged, clawed, cried. “You killed them! You bastard, how could you?” Blackwall, Solas and Dorian pulled her off of him, Felix ran to his father’s side. The rest was a blur to her, the me

Moving On
Atashi sat in the stables with Asala at Skyhold. She was numb, not physically but mentally. Everything was fuzzy, wrong. Her arm was…Her eyes trailed down to the stump, staring blankly at the folded article of clothing. So much had happened the past month. The Council, the Qunari attack, Solas…and now the anchor, her arm. She didn’t foresee her visit to the Winter Palace going exactly as planned, nothing ever does go as planned for her, but losing the only thing that still connected her to anything of status was the last thing she thought would happen. And Solas…Gods, she did not see that one coming. He was

“You went into the Fade again. This time to meet dangerous mages who might have killed you there.” Cullen was pacing, running his hand through his hair as though he intended to pull it out. Astlyr stood, her arms folded over her chest, as she watched her man prowl the room.
As soon as she had awakened from her Fade walk with Dirthamen and company, she hurried to tell her generals that the enemy was near. Already that morning a few had been sighted on a ridge to the east of Skyhold, attempting to set up a siege engine. A few good shots from Skyhold's own trebuchet had sent the would be attackers packing.

“Gather the soldiers and the guard in the courtyard!” Cullen roared in his best commander's voice.
“The Inquisitor wishes to address her troops!” Cassandra barked.
Astlyr chuckled. With these two around did she really need to say anything? She watched as people gathered before her in the courtyard. Soldiers forming ranks at the command of their captains, the guard finding places around the edges and watching from the walls. She caught sight of Guardswoman Jones. Her unit had managed a meager formation. As more and more men and woman poured and packed into the courtyard Astlyr felt her

The next morning Astlyr woke in her chair where she had managed to awkwardly pass out. Dorian, it seemed, was feeling worlds better. He was already up, had thrown a blanket over her, and was reheating some of their abandoned food from the night before over her fire and with his gift. “Thought you might sleep all morning,” he crowed, setting a large hunk of buttered sweet bread and some tea on the table near her. “Breakfast?”
“Shit, what time is it?” Astlyr glanced at the curtained windows, unable to see the sun.
“Mid-morn. I was about to wake you myself before you slept th

“Who are they?” Astlyr turned insistently to the rabbit spirit, who looked up at her as though regretting its decision to come when she 'called'. It hesitated in its hopping around her and tilted its head, as though thinking. “There are memories of names flowing through the area,” it finally reported. It squinted at the men and women in the room, “The one with black hair and seated in the chair...Mythal. Dirthamen and Falon'Din, the two with faces the color of good earth. The huntress is named Andruil, I think, which must mean the one beside the fire is Sylaise.”
“What about mus

“What's he saying?” Astlyr scooted closer to Dirthamen, whose lips were moving rapidly as he spoke words she could not understand.
“Nonsense,” Fen'Harel replied, moving so his face was in Dirthamen's line of sight. He gently gripped the man's shoulders, speaking in ancient elvish as well, though in a soothing tone.
Varric stuck his head in through the tent flap, “is he awake?”
“In a manner of speaking,” Myfanwy answered him, hanging back from the group which had gathered around Dirthamen.
Cole teleported into the tent, though he did not rush to the god's side. “What a
