The gift Shepard had given Garrus would have felt special coming from a turian, but Garrus wasn't sure if Shepard had truly meant it that way or if that was merely wishful thinking on his part.

Summary
“But why did Hawke kill Orsino? Why attack a mage when he’d come to protect mages? Why behead both powers in Kirkwall at once? It would almost make more sense if he’d tried to seize the throne afterwards,” Leliana added thoughtfully, “but as it is - no. I do not believe the Champion was ever truly motivated by considerations of power. And here is Master Tethras telling us a story. The same story, word for word. Almost to the word the version he wrote down in his Tale of the Champion.”
“You think Varric is lying about this,” Cassandra said.
“Storytellers lie about everything,” Leliana said. “I should know.”

Summary
“It’s a gay bar, Daniel. You’re in a gay bar,” Jack manages, finally.
Daniel just nods. “You’re in a gay bar too, Jack.”
“Why are you in a gay bar, Daniel?”
Jack snaps his fingers once, then does something with his lower half that’s probably supposed to be a shimmy. “C’mon, let’s dance,” he says.
“I’m sorry, what?” Daniel manages, after it’s obvious there will be no further statements, clarifying or otherwise.
(One night Jack and Daniel don’t dance; one night they do.)

Summary
“What is it that you do not like about him?” Josephine asks suddenly, and Ellinor looks at her, open-mouthed. Scandalized.
“What is it—that I don’t like?” she sputters. “It’s Cullen who doesn’t like me! He—he chastises me. He underestimates me. He’s always in a bad mood and—and he just…” She takes a deep breath. Stop it, she thinks; she’s let her emotions get the best of her. A rare loss of control. She smooths her jacket instinctively. “He looks at me and he sees a highborn girl with nothing to offer the Inquisition but a mark on my hand. He judges me entirely by who I was. Not by who I’m trying to be.”

Summary
“There are two people I can think of who might know anything,” Lavellan said. “Experts - on the Fade, on the history of elvhenan. Unfortunately,” a grimace, “one of them has vanished, and if all the resources of the Inquisition can’t find him, I doubt you can.”
“And the other?” Fenris demanded.
“Something from my own history, for once. Not an Inquisition thing. There is - a criminal,” said Lavellan. “Exiled from the clans. She was the blood mage who murdered Clan Sabrae and its Keeper. Last I heard she was living in Kirkwall. A very dangerous woman - possibly insane, actually - but I met her once at Arlathven, and if anyone could help you -”
“Merrill?”
_Hawke was left in the Fade. Fenris goes looking for him. He doesn't go alone.

There were few pleasures, Hawke thought sourly, to match a week's journey in a carriage crowded against the man who'd fucked you until you couldn't see straight, and then promptly leapt out of your bed as though it were full of coals.
