Summary
When Ivy Ingellvar walks into Volkarin Keep to trade herself for her uncle’s life, she expects a monster. She finds Emmrich Volkarin—once a scholar, now a lich whose soul sleeps inside a crystal bloom—and a Keep that listens like it’s alive. Drawn through libraries and moonlit gardens, music and not-quite dinners, Ivy learns the shape of the man buried beneath the curse. But the deeper their bond roots, the sharper the choice becomes: keep him as he is, or shatter the phylactery and gamble everything on love, mortality, and the cost of feeling again.

Summary
Professor Emmrich Volkarin isn’t supposed to believe in destiny; he measures time in rules and fixed points. Ivy “Rook” Ingellvar believes in surviving until the next hour. They meet in reverse; her last encounter is his first, and every crossing leaves fingerprints: honey-and-Fade on the air, a name that feels like a memory, a kiss that arrives years too early.
From Kirkwall’s rain-slick alleys to a Nevarran temple where walls are made of moving memory, they chase anomalies, a phylactery clock bound to her life, and a mirror that promises resurrection at a price. When time demands a sacrifice, Rook chooses the world. Grief remakes Emmrich, but her journal begins to write from beyond its ending, leading him to a garden between dream and memory where the question isn’t how to rewrite the past—but how to love what remains.

Summary
Soon, another birthday trapped inside the walls of the Circle will come and go.

That is, of course, until Jowan finds out that his best and only friend is turning sixteen. Something has to be done.

Summary
She was falling—weightless, no backup plan; this was the backup plan—locked in a struggle for choice against a man wearing an old friend's face. He had dived after her, determined to drag her back to The Order, back to a fate worse than death. She wouldn't give them the satisfaction. Never again.
His grip was strong, but her bloodied hand slipped free. His armor was sturdy, but her knife found the delicate circuits of his booster. They were both plummeting toward the streets below, and now neither of them would escape.
Her mission was done, she had won her freedom, and she had ripped victory for her people from the bitter jaws of defeat. If this was how it had to end, so be it—she would take a traitor with her.
Fate had different plans, however, as a golden portal opened in the air below the dueling pair and swallowed them up.

Summary
"I'm assuming this isn't optional." There's a whisper of something girlish in Beata's voice, her sea-green eyes regarding him warily.
"It isn't. The Crows offer sanctuary to mages like you, in exchange for loyalty. And we need a guarantee."

Summary
Picking up right where we left off in He Can Be Strong For Someone Else - Act 2.
Kirkwall is as hard to stomach as ever even though things have calmed down some.
All Cullen can do is the best he can. Try to uphold his duty and his conscience and straddle the gap between the two.
The thing is...lines are beginning to blur. All kinds of lines, not just between mages and templars or demons and magic.
He's still possessed, he still has nightmares, he still can't sleep. But maybe he's learning from all of this.Once again I state that I am being very fast and loose with the timeline here, so things can move and shift a bit to match up with the course of events for the story. Nothing is concrete except the scenes that have been detailed and if I come up with more scenes to add, they’ll come as new posts outside of each Act. I have thought of a few already.
(This story has taken on a life of its own - which forced a slight change to the title of this act.)Series
