    Summary

    With a heavy sigh, he sat down his paints.

    “Vhenan,” he called out, climbing down the stairs. “What are you doing?”

    In the middle of the Lighthouse library was his wife sitting criss-crossed on the floor, surrounded by what must have been twenty or so little spirit wisps, holding one gingerly in her hands. “Making babies,” she said, with complete and total seriousness.

    [Post-Veilguard, Lavellan explores what it means to be a god, Solas is a grump, and they accidentally acquire a child.]

    Summary

    Solas,

    How many letters have I written and left unsent? How many books lay littered around homes I’ve come and gone from since Skyhold, all full of things I longed to tell you? I lost count years ago. I imagine a bookshelf dedicated to them in the Vir Dithara and that someday, wandering the Crossroads, you will stumble upon the musings of a woman who loved you to the point of madness.

    ---

    Eight years pass and they both keep track of it, words they didn't share but should have. Words that might have made all the difference.

    (very minor DAV spoilers sprinkled throughout)

    Summary

    “It needs curtains,” Ellana says firmly.

    “Curtains?”

    From his unsteady tone, it isn’t what he expected her to say.

    Ellana nods with purpose. She has had a lot of practice with keeping up a calm, brave face until conditions improve.

    “Curtains. Do you remember when we first got to Skyhold? What a mess it was? There were woodchucks under the foundation, three hundred years of raven droppings in the rotunda, and a spirit of compassion down in the field hospital trying to euthanize our soldiers. But Josephine looked around and said we needed to hang curtains, and by the end of the day, we were measuring for the drapers.”
