We will be making a new timeline for The Veilguard only after the game has been out for a few months to give everyone a chance to play it! If you have any questions, please let us know!

    One thing about Josc: as unpredictable as she could be about damn near everything else, when it came to her friends, she was as reliable as shit rolling downhill from an outhouse. Which was pretty much what the clusterfuck in the Chantry had resembled. At least she knew him well enough not to...

    A Castle in the Clouds [Closed]

    Happy endings in fiction were all too often trite and contrived, and Varric tried to avoid them as much as possible in favor of gritty realism. Reality itself had been much too gritty of late, however, and he’d actually been considering sucking it up and adding some new installments to Swords...

    Life Imitates Art ... Or Is It The Other Way Around? [AU] [Closed]

    Rivaini was quick to head off any assumption that she might be in danger of becoming law-abiding. “What can I say?” she smirked, casually walking a sovereign across the knuckles of one hand. “The payoff was so good I felt like being a decent citizen for a change.” “Hey, as long as there’s a...

    Varric could sympathize with Curly’s frustration with the Chancellor; the man ignored Varric and still managed to grate on his nerves. Actually being the focus of his attention would be miserable. But having taken refuge in the one place that Rodrick wouldn’t be caught dead in (Haven didn’t have...

    Champing At The Bit [Closed]

    So much for a day of rest. The Hinterlands sucked, and not in a so-bad-it’s-kind-of-good suckage. It just sucked. Templars, mages, bandits, wolves, one bigass dragon that they were going to have to deal with at some point, and bears. So. Many. Fucking. Bears. And all that in between closing...

    The various patrons who had leaped to guilty-looking attention at Curly’s entrance were treated to an irritable “As you were,” before the templar strode to a table and waited for Varric to pick a chair before putting his back squarely to a wall with both doors in his line of sight. "A welcome...

    Undercity Blues [Complete]

    Scornful dismissal turned to flinty-eyed disapproval when Varric again suggested that the Grey Wardens were best suited to look into strange sounds emanating from below ground. "Caethan and I survived the Fifth Blight in Ferelden only to come to Kirkwall where a Grey Warden caught wind of his...

    Varric had never given religion much thought. His parents had worshiped the Stone and revered the Ancestors, even after their exile to the surface. Bartrand had worshiped money. None of it had helped them in the end. To his storyteller’s ear, the Chantry’s stories of Andraste and the Dalish...

    Varric wasn’t expecting a back-slapping reunion. He and Curly hadn’t had that sort of relationship in Kirkwall. Prior to Anders blowing the Chantry sky-high, in fact, their ‘relationship’ had consisted of a handful of brief encounters in which Varric’s primary focus was on not inadvertently...

    ((Wintermarch, 9:41; Cullen )) The good news was, Andvar and Ilsa’s baby boy wasn’t dead. The bad news was, Varric wasn’t sure how long that was going to last. The bigass hole in the sky had stopped growing, but it was still shitting demons with depressing regularity, and reports arriving...

    Life Imitates Art ... Or Is It The Other Way Around? [AU] [Closed]

    As Varric had hoped, invoking luck seemed to convince Isabela not to question his reticence. Normally, he didn’t mind sharing; her guesses as to who various characters were inspired by were seldom less than entertaining, and she had occasionally provided nuggets of inspiration that ended up in...

    Life Imitates Art ... Or Is It The Other Way Around? [AU] [Closed]

    Varric wasn’t surprised when Isabela’s enthusiasm for erotic fiction wasn’t dampened by his demurral. “No matter. I’ll have a go at it,” she announced breezily, making a beeline for the glassware. “How hard can it be to write sex scenes with a little bit of plot looped around them?” “Harder...

    Josc called Anders a friend, but she was quick to put people into that category (not that Kirkwall’s resident mother hen had any business lecturing on her on it, mind you), but from what Varric had been able to gather, he wasn’t sure just how well she had known him before he showed up in the...

    Life Imitates Art ... Or Is It The Other Way Around? [AU] [Closed]

    As it turned out, Varric needn’t have bothered with the invitation, as Rivaini seldom bothered with such mundane niceties of knocking anyway. She swaggered through the door with what looked suspiciously like a bottle of Corff’s best Orlesian brandy in one hand and a shit eating grin plastered on...

    The flare of anger had subsided back into smoldering coals. Even that was more than Varric was accustomed to harboring, but at least his anger with Josc had spent itself. Feeling on the outs with his best friend had been intolerable; being angry with Anders … he could live with that, unless the...
