An unexpected, yet welcome visitor arrives in Skyhold. A visitor who unintentionally exposes the secrets S'vari Lavellan and Josephine Montilyet have both held in silence, hidden even from each other. Secrets that have festered for far too long and must be dealt with at last.

For those who have been following along with my series The Dawn Will Come, which takes place in the direct aftermath of Dragon Age Inquistion Trespasser and centers on the relationship between Inquisitor S’vari Lavellan and Josephine Montilyet, I’ve started posting the last fic in the series.

For my long-fics, I always have them completely written before posting, so look forward to more updates to come!

Hope you enjoy it!

Look To The Skies Chapter 6: Judgement

A reckoning is due for the remainder of the lyrium cultists, those who surrendered to the Inquisition. The throne of judgement awaits.

The final chapter in "Look to the Skies", the second to last fic for The Dawn Will Come series. A long time coming but the next (and final) fic of the series is already posting!

Hope you enjoy!

People who think sheep are killed for their wool are so hilarious to me. Does your barber slit your throat whenever you get a haircut?? Are you a returning customer to Sweeney Todd? Lmao it grows back, fools.

[squareallworthy]

This is completely ignoring the fact that the sheep's soul is stored in its wool. So sure, the body remains, but the spirit, the essence of the sheep, that's gone forever, and then as the wool regrows a new soul moves in.

[storm-of-feathers]

What

[shadow-banned-the-hedgehog]

Same for me, I get a new soul with every haircut. That's why my personality changes so much.

[ovenroastedtwerkey]

Tumblr citizenship means being completely unsure if the person posting about sheep souls is being 100% serious or is just taking the piss.

[yoinky-sploinky]

THEY TAKE THEIR PISS TOO?!?!?

[ovenroastedtwerkey]

Yup, stockpiling it in giant buckets to pour on the poor

[kenzily8]

you know the generations cooked when we’re talking abt sheep wool and that turns into stockpiling sheep piss 🥀

[alienpepper]

you haven't truly lived until this post is the first thing you see when you wake up i had to leave and come back 10 minutes later

THE TENTH DOCTOR and DONNA NOBLE in PARTNERS IN CRIME

It's like I had that one day with you, and I was going to change. I was going to do so much. Then I woke up the next morning, same old life. It's like you were never there. And I tried. I did try. I went to Egypt. I was going to go barefoot and everything. And then it's all bus trips and guidebooks and don't drink the water, and two weeks later you're back home. It's nothing like being with you. I must have been mad turning down that offer. What offer? To come with you. Come with me? Oh yes, please.

suddenly thinking about the courtroom scene, of Stratt being accused of pirating literally everything, and Grace later having everything in the various computers aboard his ship that he gave a copy to Rocky without issue, and the beetles having such a massive memory capacity and...

Stratt was a historian. She wasn't just pirating for the sake of entertainment for the astronauts, she was doing a full historical backup of the planet. Who knows how much knowledge and communications ability, how much art and culture and history, how much niche knowledge of how to make specific pieces of modern technology or modern medicines, was lost as the wars for resources isolated everyone, as the death tolls led to the deaths of specialized trade workers and scientists, as the power grids failing across the planet (or cut off, potentially) led to all the cloud servers going dark. Stratt was facing methods of combating extinction and she did her best to ensure that if/when the Hail Mary worked, it would send back not just the hope of the future in the solution to the astrophage, but the restoration of history and culture and knowledge.

Just.... she pirated everything, and put it all on the Hail Mary.

Just…. she pirated

everything, and put it all

on the Hail Mary.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
