This collection gathers together various short fictions in a variety of lengths, all of them concerned with Fen'Harel, once known as Solas, and his lover, Lavellan.
As the collection grows, the order may shift, but the essential stories should remain unchanged.
Sleep
Stone upon stone, bones upon bones, unstirred for centuries. Ivy has wormed its way into the cracks in the masonry, and time has leeched the ancient murals of their colour. Most striking is the wall-length mosaic of a wolf's face, cunning and kind, guarded and tender. Individual tiles have fallen away, leaving chips of darkness in the jade face. The lost tiles lie scattered on the ground beneath it, glinting like tears. A short distance away is a giant stone wolf, its body reclining; head raised and watchful. It alone seems untouched by time.
In the rubble between the wolf's paws, a man sleeps. His body is curled tight upon itself, at once tense and oblivious. His toes are bare, as is his head, gleaming pale in the rising sun. Cradled in his arms is a black orb.
A soft sound of scuffling; a small fox creeps into the ruined temple to sniff through the rubble. She does not go too near the sleeping stranger; nor does she pay him much attention. Unsuccessful in her search, the vixen steals away, russet tail disappearing around a corner.
The man sleeps on.
