    Summary

    “Two elves and a human walk into a ball,” Calien begins. The end hangs in the air.

    Meruka’s dark eyes glitter as she turns them on him. “And then?”

    “I don’t know, we kill everyone?”

    Rocío’s face twitches slightly. She fiddles with her necklace of sparkling red gems and says nothing – but Meruka does.

    “Only if they deserve it,” she replies.

    Summary

    “Then will you come in?”

    “Are you certain? I may never want to leave again.”

    The warning is hollow, if it can be called that at all, though Anders no doubt intends it as one.

    Rosemarie takes a step forward. Her voice is quiet, soft against late night. “And if I wanted you to stay? Would you?”

    Summary

    “You named your dog Fluffy?

    “My sister did, after she won a game against Carver for the right to pick the name.”

    “Unbelievable. Mabari are not fluffy. I’d understand if it was a kitten, but–”

    “Please forgive me but I don’t believe you’re in any position to judge how anyone names their animals. After–”

    “Ser Pounce-a-lot is a perfectly normal name for a pet.”

    Summary

    It comes in the form of a letter on a sunny winter morning. The courier who brings it is no different than any other, clad in leathers and warm furs and with a thin layer of frost on their eyelashes. A summoning from the king himself to discuss a personal matter of utmost importance – and he asks for discretion and signs it informally. The Warden Commander of Ferelden sets out before the sun is gone from the sky.

    She arrives in Denerim three days later.

    Summary

    Anders’ skin prickles uncomfortably. Unfair, undeserving. Hiding among the wealthy while other mages scramble to get by in the streets or breathe only in chains. The cackling magic in his veins is both his own and not. Lines blur – there is little difference between what is Justice and Vengeance and him. Perhaps there is none at all.

    Summary

    A chill settles in Rosemarie’s bones. She pulls the cloak tighter on her shoulders. When that fails, she shuffles into Anders’ side and seeks out his hand. His fingers are uncomfortably cool as they lace together with hers, but comforting nonetheless. They always are.

    Summary

    “I’ve always fought with spears before,” Rosemarie admits with eyes downcast, “My father taught me.”

    “Is it true he was an apostate?” Alain’s voice is low as he asks.

    “Would you think less of me if it was?”

    Summary

    "You're back," Anders states, and picks up a torn piece of cloth to wipe his hands in as he does.

    There's no need to confirm, but she does anyway.

    "Yes."

    They both know why.

    "What blood magic?" Carver asks.

    Anders opens his mouth to reply, but Rosemarie beats him to it, stepping forward with her arms behind her back.

    "It's nothing."
