Summary
He wanted to hold her and whisper encouragements into her hair, to lend her whatever was left of his own strength. She deserved respite after everything she’d just accomplished, she had the right to be tired, and she had the right to rest. He would tell her all that if he could be sure she’d want him to.
“Shepard,” he said her name.
She looked at him. “Yeah?”
He would tell her all that, he’d give it all to her, support, peace, solace, he would find a way — except it wasn’t his place. He didn’t know where they stood, and he wouldn’t dare bothering her with it now. There were so many more important things happening all around them.Five years of her in his life, filled with love, hurt, angst, and just a pinch of spice.

Summary
He touched her hand the last time she saw him. She focused on that warmth, on that pleasure. She found herself wishing she could return to that moment, to put her own hand on his face. To discover how his skin felt under her fingertips.
A close call that makes Amell think. Post-Awakening.

He’d do everything to feel her against him once more, to hold, to kiss, to be. He’d die for her, if she let him.
But she didn’t. She never would. That’s why she left him behind.
He was left in the cold and he stayed there, frozen, unmoving.Series

Summary
Alistair steels his resolve, and meets her gaze.
“Could you teach me how to last longer?”
Siobhan blinks, her eyebrows dropping a fraction as she puzzles this over. “Anything at all, and that’s what you want?”
“Yes,” he says. He clears his throat. “... Please?”

Summary
“I was a glorified prisoner of the state, Dorian. He – all of them – are drug-addled slaves to it. I’m sure they could have become different people, long ago, but the Chantry took that future from them the moment they were dosed with lyrium," Cora says with disgust.
“I could say the same of you, you know,” Dorian says. “Indeed I have done, of all southern mages. But we find ourselves here, now, bent toward the same end. I suppose we’ve all been given the chance to choose our better selves, haven’t we?”
“Yes,” Cora sighs. “I suppose we have.”

Summary
“Cora,” he says, and she feels the calloused pads of his fingers on her chin before he turns her head to face him. His smile is soft, but the creases at his eyes and faint flush on his cheeks betray utter pleasure behind it. “Are you proposing that we live together? Properly?”
She lets out a breath that she hadn’t realized she was holding. “Yes.”
“I would like that very much,” he replies, smile broadening. “Very, very much.” And then his lips are on hers, and she is melting against him with relief and joy and the not-unpleasant trepidation that comes with taking a leap into the unknown.
