Summary
His words are choppy and discordant in her ears, but she can make sense of some of them. She’s known, they’ve all known, that Illario held her with a measure of disapproval, that he didn’t feel the street rat who Viago had quite literally snatched out of mid air and dragged back to Salle hissing and spitting and biting was worthy of becoming a Talon’s protégé.
She hadn’t realised he may have coveted her in other ways, ways that are becoming clearer and clearer as his hot breath skates across her throat and he bites down hard enough to make her cry in pain. She can smell the blood in the air.
“Vi—ago,” she spat, though it came out more as a soft slur. “Will — kill you for this.”
-- -- --
Flashes of light.
Head pounding.
Bile in her throat. Clawing at her, trying to escape. She wants to wretch but she is floating and can’t find purchase to turn.
No— not floating but... being carried? Who has her? She tries to squirm free, but her limbs refuse to respond.
The movement stops.
“Hush, uccellina, be still.”
A voice she knows, a voice she trusts— she lets it guide her back into the abyss.

Summary
Rook's life hasn't been an easy one. From surviving under the Qun as a Saarebas to eventually escaping and finding a new purpose with the Grey Wardens, now she's expected to save the world from a pair of ancient elven gods when she can barely keep her own wild magic under control. Guess it's a good thing the team includes a seasoned professor with a gentle touch who might, quite possibly, be the first true connection Rook has ever felt after a lifetime of pain and distrust.
A long-fic re-telling of the events surrounding Dragon Age: The Veilguard. but with major focus on original content involving the moments in between the known story beats. The moments that happen before and after missions and the moments during downtime that forge relationships, that force periods of reflection, that nourish the soul, that cause us to grow, that refill the emotional reserves to press forward, that remind us why - and for whom - we are fighting.

Summary
[A story that is the perfect sweet spot between an irreverent, darkly comic POV and quiet alien ritual soul bond story.]
[Updates Thursdays Bi-weekly]
Max expected a mundane animal behavior consult when she was called down to a research station in butt-fuck-nowhere-Texas — maybe a rogue military mutt, tops. What she got was a seven and a half foot tall beast of alien muscle radiating the energy of someone who's fought gods — and possibly won.
As the only person within five miles with common sense, Max is shoved into the unlikely role of accidental co-conspirator. When her new 'assignment' busts out, he brings Max along for the ride — whether she likes it or not.
What follows isn't just a galactic fuck-up. Mutual apprehension spirals into uneasy trust, a cultural collision, and a growing connection that neither of them knows what to do with—or wants to admit. They both realize quickly that they've bitten off more than they can chew: Max, with a creeping suspicion that she might be the biggest pervert ever; and her companion–kidnapper, learning the hard way that humans are, hands down, the most annoying creatures in the galaxy.
Turns out, the scariest part of first contact is catching feelings.
