Black Emporium 2025 Series
A Rook, His Queen, and Their King - this was my assignment.
There's a delicate balance that exists between Pyxis de Riva, Viago, and Teia. Each has their specialty. A set of skills necessary to make not only the Crows work, but their own extensive emotions for each other. Nevermore highlighted than the night of Teia's Nameday Party. Where Pyxis and she decide to have fun at the Fifth Talon's expense. Only to reward him later for being such a good sport in their fun.

What the Morrow Might Bring

Meet Again on the Other Side
And suddenly, words felt like sand in his mouth. The flaring desire to tell him the hell he had endured since his disappearance cooling with the fear of rejection. Falling into old habits as he looked down at the smaller man with barely restrained ire. This way was safe. Easy. Where no one got hurt and they went back to how things were.
Even if the elf kept eyeing him like that.
Sins Against the Past
With Tearstone looming, Solas gets a visit from an unlikely friend.
One Silly Girl's Dreams
Maybe that's what stole her heart. How he never tired of their chats over a steaming cup of tea. As enthralled with her talks of the Nadas Dirthalen as she was with his obsession with the Fade. A brilliant mind mending a lonely heart. At least, that's what she wrote in her secret serial. The one where the sweet older gentleman fell for the foolish young elf maiden.
Limerence - this was my dead dove request please mind the tags
When Anders was in solitary he begged for any sort of attention. Even from a lost young templar in a broken circle.

Fuck my Life and Other Stories

Never Hate Your Enemies - this is probably my favorite thing I wrote
Mierda, the Maker was an unfair bastard. Especially to make the object of his ire the most handsome man he had ever shared a courtroom with.
Force Meet Fierce
Cassandra and Bull have a great arrangement. If he can stop allowing his growing feelings to distract him
Always Near, but Never Close
It was subtle at first. A memory's breeze brushing against her psyche as she slept. A hint of elfroot and old parchment on the air as the corner of her mouth turned up in contentment. Reminiscent of days spent with a dear friend, and long nights exploring something hidden under low candlelight's flame.
The Path of Friendship
How two Spirits became the greatest friends in the history of Thedas
You Shouldn't be Here
The voice is heavy, weighed down with the fears of someone who has known true love, and true loss. The memories of the past are still sharp like fractured ice. Their path is carved into Garrett Hawke's scarred brow as Lavellan turns to gaze upon the man who has held his heart all these years.
