paying in blood
Fair's fair, Seeker. You played a mean hand of Wicked Grace and this dwarf honors his losses. Just don't expect these too often, I've got better things to do than sit around writing this stuff. Since I don't expect to make any profit here, I'll just share it with anyone who might be interested while I'm at it.
[attached] Swords & Shields: Into the Wilds
[ooc | Swords & Shields is a series of books (referred to as chapters) written by Varric that he adamantly states is NOT smut. It is, however, a high tale of intrigue, romance, mild adventure, pivotal pitfalls, and so on. It also has some rather erotic material. (I didn't make this up, it's canon) As such, the download has a 'confirm you are over 16' verbiage, but he's not enforcing it, it's just CYA-- the last chapter, introduced in Dragon Age Inquisition, was about the events unfolding after a Knight-Captain is (falsely) accused of a crime - my headcanon from there, playing the character, is that she was put on trial and sentenced (with plenty of filler material)- it ended with a mysterious person springing her from the cells, where she awaited her fate. THIS one reveals the mysterious character as a charming young dwarf who puts himself at risk to help her hide with a group of Daelish elves (hence 'the wilds') that he's befriended. Now that my ooc is longer than my post, I'll wrap it up with saying that every character in these books has some stark similarities with people in Varric's life...]
