Summary
It doesn’t look like much the first time Dean sees it. The wooden siding and the slats lining the floor of the porch sit loose, all of them a rain-battered, sun-bleached grey. The roof slouches a little on one side, and the parking lot is more dirt than concrete. Weeds headbutt their way through the cracks between parking spaces. The door sticks and whines when Dean works the handle and shoulders it open. Inside, the tables are buried under eight years of dust that might as well be eighty. It feels more like walking into a crypt than a bar.
And isn’t that perfect?
Jack sets the world right, and Sam talks Dean into buying a bar. Somewhere in there, there's a happily ever after. Or you know, close enough.

A Fire and a Conflagration by iodhadh for serenityfails

Summary
At first, the Iron Bull is just writing poetry to Dorian because it's a fun way to tease him—he gets all huffy when he's pretending he doesn't think the lowbrow stuff is funny, and besides, he started it by making it a Vint-versus-Qunari thing. It's only fair for Bull to needle him a bit.
At first, Dorian is only writing back to Bull because he can't let him win. The pride of Tevinter's literary tradition (not to mention his own dignity) is at stake here, and he will not be beaten at metaphor by someone who thinks cattle-related puns are an appropriate way to seduce someone.
And that's all it is. At first.

Summary
When the Warden-Commander sends her along with Nathaniel to negotiate a tithe of resources from one of Amaranthine's most irritating nobles, Velanna isn't expecting much more than a couple days of dealing with insufferable shemlen nonsense. That the noble in question has recently discovered old Avvar ruins under his estate is only a minor point of interest.
Then the darkspawn break through into the newly excavated chambers in the middle of the night. Now, trapped underground and with a strange Avvar spirit apparently unwilling to leave her alone, Velanna will be brought to the very limits of what she thought she was willing to endure—but with Nathaniel's life hanging in the balance, her choices are running out...

Summary
"You turned," Adaar said, "into a fucking dragon."
It was good that she said it, because someone should, and to be honest the Bull was feeling a bit beyond actual words at that exact moment.
"A small dragon," Dorian said, as though this was somehow relevant. He was quite a small dragon, it was true—he stared down at them now, but most of that height was the arch of his neck, the curve of it covered in shimmering black and gold scales. "A small dragon! Who saved your life!"
