Hi! 1.โDonโt touch themโ for the whump prompts for Macgyver! No pressure โบ๏ธ
I always get so excited to see a request from you. Thank you! โค๏ธ
1. โDonโt touch themโ
Rough brick scraped Macโs cheek as the masked guard forcibly shoved him against the wall. His arm twisted behind him, he was unable to brace himself or slow down.
Heavy boots clomped into the cell and toward his teammates.
โDonโt touch them,โ Mac threatened. Copper blossomed into his mouth as the jagged wall caught his lip.
The guard slammed him into the bricks harder and held him. With an โoof,โ Macโs lungs deflated.
Using what little air he had, he repeated, โDonโt touch them.โ
Forced to look toward the iron bars, he couldnโt see them. But he heard it all; Bozer fighting, Riley resisting, and Jack being dragged from the room.
Pairing: Solas x f!Lavellan (Modern!AU) / Minor Cullen x f!Lavellan
Rating: T for Teen

They drive out to Dragonโs Peak on Friday morning. Early, and she sleeps the whole way, waking up when the car slows to find the mountains filling the windows and Cullenโs hand resting on her knee. Gravel crunches under the tires as they weave through the campsites. Most are unoccupied, but itโs nice not to have neighbors when there are no walls. After a while, Seraโs car comes into view, a round yellow rusted thing surrounded by more empty campsites and the color green. They park at the next site over, get out, and stretch their legs.
Itโs beautiful. The trees here are limbless for the first twenty feet, all dark wood and wonder, reaching invariably for the bright blue that peeks down from between them. A tiny packed-dirt path between the sites leads through the edge of the woods, down to a wooden dock and a small sandy beach.
Athi pulls out a french press, sets up the camp stove, and helps Cullen with the tent until the water boils.
Sera finally shows, emerging from the woods with a roll of toilet paper and a bottle of sanitizer, and Athi pours her a cup. Then the three of them sit, quiet on the dock. Coffee in their hands and the wind in their hair and their toes in the water, soaking up too much sun.
Leliana, Josie, and Cassandra show up first. They come prepared with towels and suits and Leliana brings a raft made for lounging.
Bull, on the other hand, brings his new boyfriend, Dorian. One of those guys who are handsome enough to kick the wind right out of a perfectly healthy set of lungs. Heโs funny and clever, with charisma coming out his ears.
And he insists that Cullen join them for a hike.
โSo, frat-boy came after all,โ Sera says once theyโre gone. โThatโs good, right?โ
โHe didnโt go to university.โ
โLike thatโs the point.โ She kicks out her legs, inspecting their color as the water drips down, then grabs the sunscreen from behind her. โBlonde. Beefy. Boring. Frat-boy!โ
โHow would you know if heโs boring?โ
โIs he?โ
โHe runs into burning buildings to save people for a living, how could that possibly be boring?โ
Sera bumps her shoulder, cherry blossom streaked with white, into Athiโs. โThatโs not a real answer.โ
โFine, heโs not boring!โ
โIf you say so. Ah, shite. Got too much of this mess. Take some?โ
They swim and sit and float and play, jeans and sundresses stuffed into bags, abandoned on the beach, draped over the dock. Athi goads Cass into a race to the floating island, and then loses by more than a hair. The sun trades places, east to west, and suddenly the day is gone.
Athi pulls herself onto the dock and wriggles back into her jeans. Finds her tank top on Seraโs shoes, and twists her hair up to keep the lake water off her back. When she offers to go back to camp for drinks, the response is more than enthusiastic.
To be perfectly honest, itโd be nice if someone else would fetch the drinks for a change.
Back at the camp, Varric is crouched next to a rather pathetic excuse for a fire.
โPlease tell me youโre not cooking,โ she says.
โOh, Iโm not. Though Iโd like to think I could rise to the occasion and warm up some hot dogs. You know, if the people needed me.โ
A trunk slams shut, and she startles. โThankfully, the people do not, or they would likely all starve.โ
Solas walks toward herโno not her,ย just the campsite. But when she catches the flick of his eyes down her form, her heart still does an uncomfortable flip-flop inside of her ribs.
No, she tells it. No, keep it together.
But creators, she must be a mess. Rolled-up jeans, no makeup, no shoes, swim top soaking through her shirt, and a hasty bun. Probably fried and frizzy. Come to think of it, sheโs not even sure sheโs looked in a mirror yet today. Not that it matters, of course.
Then thereโs Solas. Sharp features and ocean eyes. Somehow immaculate, despite the heat, in cuffed tan shorts and an easy olive v-neck. Heโd worn it to that party, all those months ago. And itโs half tucked in over the bone of his hip, not that she dwells on it.
And heโs here.
Not that she cares.
He opens a cooler by a small blue tent. Comes back with three beers and a bottle opener, and he holds one out to her. Itโs ice-cold and dripping. Off the bottle, into her hand, leaving cool wet tracks down her forearm.
โHey,โ she says softly. For such a small word, it comes out awfully shaky.
โHello.โ His smile, too, is an uncertain little thing, hanging crooked on his mouth like aโ
Not that sheโs looking at hisโ
Oh, fuck.
She tears her eyes away, resting them instead on Varricโs dying fire.
โDo you want some help with that?โ she offers.
โYou know, I thought youโd never ask.โ
Setting her bottle beside her, she uses the end of a piece of firewood to push his blackened sticks to the center of the pit, extinguishing whatever flames actually managed to survive his efforts. Then she lays it in the ashes next to the pile. More logs, arranged crosswise, more kindling in the middle, and a burning match sets it freshly alight.
โHey, Solas! Glad you made it, buddy!โ Even coming from the edge of the campsite, Bullโs voice booms in her ears.
Cullen and Dorian trail a ways behind him, talking like old friends.
โYou know each other?โ she asks.
โSort of, yeah!โ Bull claps Solas on the back. โI was on the squad for some big deal museum thing a couple months back, and he was there, and we got to talking.โ
Solas laughs softly. โAs I recall, you asked if my companion was single.โ
A log slips free of her grasp and clangs against the heavy metal fire guard, but no one seems to notice.
โMmm. Yeah, I remember,โ Bull says. โRedhead. Good times! Anyway, weโve hung out a few times since then.โ
Varric leans over. โIโve tried to get in on it, but so far, no luck. Whatever they get up to, itโs gotta be good.โ
โOh, itโs good.โ Bull waggles his eyebrows, but Solas only grins, tips his bottle up, and drinks.
โSo, this is where you went!โ
Cassandra, walking up the path from the lake with the others, has her youโre in trouble face on. Brows knit tight, eyes fierce, voice shrill, and Athi canโt help but wonder if this is what it feels like to be accused of murder.
But Varric cuts in before she can ask for a lawyer.
โHey, Seeker!โ he says. โFancy meeting you here.โ
The look Cassandra gives him is withering. โOh, itโs you . I suppose I should have known.โ
โSorry, I wasโโAthi gestures to the now-healthy fireโโwaylaid.โ
Varric laughs. โTaken captive by my charming vulnerability, she means.โ
โCharming!โ Cass rolls her eyes. โI have never heard anything so ridiculous.โ
Dorian swoops in like the guest of honor, rather than somebodyโs plus-one. โWell, this has been a delightful bit of repartee,โ he says, โbut might I suggest we consider our supper? Iโm not sure about the rest of you lot, but the three of us did just climb a mountain.โ
โNot the whole thing,โ Cullen admits, and is quickly shushed by Dorian.
Athi lets the fire die a bit, and over the embers they cobble together a meal: Bull grills the veggie kebabs heโs had marinating, Sera roasts up some corn, Leliana tucks potatoes wrapped in tin foil into the warm ashes, and Cullen cooks the chicken they brought on hot-dog skewers.
They make a weird bunch, she thinks as they eat and talk and laugh and tease and argue. Humans and elves, a qunari, a dwarf. Different homelands, different jobs. With the exception of Leliana, who has known Josie since high school and Cass since college, all the connections between them are thin. Sera did a couple of Lelianaโs tattoos. Varric was (briefly) a suspect in one of Cassandraโs investigations. Cullen and Dorian hadnโt even met before this afternoon. Yet those bonds were struck and somehow held fast in an instant.
Itโs difficult to tell where she fits. What gap she fills, what role she plays, but then Bull tells the one about the time she took him shopping, and she decides it doesnโt matter. So long as she fits at all.
Seconds and thirds, then Bull stands and pulls a handful of cigars from his shirt pocket. โAnyone want to go down to the dock? Genuine Seherons, been looking forward to these babies. Dorian? Cass?โ
โThank you, but no.โ Dorian grimaces. โI donโt smoke. Besides, Iโd like to wear these clothes again someday, and โcampfireโ is going to be difficult enough to get out.โ
โIโll join you,โ says Cass.
Cullen goes as well, leaves her with a warm smile. She never expected him to be so interested in socializing. Not like he ever asked to meet her friends. Sheโd been worried about him, thought heโd feel out of place or something, but it was needless. He has charmed them all in a single afternoon just by being his polite, well-spoken, surprisingly funny self.
โSurprised you let her out of your sight,โ Sera says to Varric, throwing a piece of onion across the fire at him.
He bats it away like heโs done this before. Knowing Sera, he probably has.
โIโm just giving her a chance to miss me, thatโs all.โ
Everyone seems finished, fed and content. Instinctively, Athi starts to clean up. Collects the trash and plastic plates, the empty bottles, then goes for water but Solas is already elbow-deep in suds. He tells her to sit with the others; instead, she picks up a towel and dries. Feels good to have her hands busy. Feels better to be nearโ
No.
Josephine gasps. โOh, Leliana, we never set up our tent!โ
โNow is as good a time as any, donโt you think, Josie?โ
โNow it is dark! Do you know what youโre doing? Iโve never actually done this before.โ
โWell,โ Dorian says, โI shall volunteer my services, as I neither prepared dinner nor cleaned up after it.โ He nods gratefully toward her and Solas. โLuckily for you, Iโm a natural at pointing a flashlight.โ
The three of them disappear into the darkness, chattering away.
After the dishes are done and the trash packed away, Athi adds another log to the fire. Another hour or so of Sera fixating on the marshmallows nobody brought, and Varric smacks his palms to his thighs.
โAll right, I think itโs about time for me to head out,โ he says. โThat actual, sheltered, comfortable bed is calling my name.โ
โReally?โ Athi teases. โItโs barely nine! Iโd have thought you had more life left in you than that.โ
โHey, not all of us want to have the same special loathe-hate relationship with mornings that you have, early bird.โ
Solas chuckles. โYouโve noticed this as well?โ
โYeah, I made the mistake of calling for a favor at a perfectly reasonable time of dayโโ
โReasonable for who, exactly?โ she protests.
โโAnd she picked up, swore colorfully at me in, I believe, no less than three different languages, and disconnected.โ
โOh, please. Thatโs nothing,โ Sera says with a scoff. โShe shattered my guitar!โ
โI apologized for that.โ
โCanโt play an โIโm sorry,โ now can I?โ
Athi groans. โJust go, Varric. Go to your mattress and mini-bar and room service and take your slander with you.โ
โItโs only slander if itโs not true,โ he says, and walks away with a casual wave of his wrist.
Sera yawns. โThink Iโll turn in, too.โ
โSeriously?โ
If Sera leaves, sheโll be alone with him. Really alone. And if theyโre alone, heโll almost certainly look at her at some point, and her heart will do that thing it always does and is not supposed to. Athi pleads with her eyes, begs her to stay, but Sera doesn't noticeโor pretends not to. She walks behind the canvas chairs and plants a kiss atop Athiโs head with an exaggerated smacking sound.
โBe good!โ And she slips into her tent.
Athi briefly considers following their lead, then remembers itโs been all of five minutes since she declared it too early to do so.
โI suppose youโre the next to fall,โ she says to fill the silence, hoping he is.
Hoping he isnโt.
โI could not abandon you so easily.โ
Seven words, and she melts. Itโs not fair, how quickly he breaks her down, leaves her bare. It's not right. His nearness is intoxicating, their solitude is terrifying, and sheโs stuck somewhere between the fear and the falling. Safe, though, like heโs the solid ground. Searching, and he's an answer. Brimful, satiated. Like sheโs been trying to breathe underwater, and heโs the air above its surface.
Like she's a foolish, stupid girl with a foolish, stupid heart.
Heโs abandoned her once already, practically ghosted her after that stupid fucking morning. Not that she can blame him; sheโd disappeared too. And Cullenโ
As if summoned by her guilt, his laughter drifts up from the dock. If she blocks out some light from the fire, she can see him from hereโjust a shadow among shadows.
โHe seems nice,โ Solas says, and stares intently through the flames like he can see what she does.
โHe is.โ
โAnd you are happy?โ
Yes , she tries to say. It sticks in her throat. Instead says, โHeโs a good guy,โ as if thatโs enough.
But he accepts it, nods and leans forward to add another piece of wood to the fire. It shifts, and sparks fly. Some disappear into the dirt around her bare brown feet, some float into the air and mix with the stars.
This time, he is the one to break the silence. โBefore the world was changed and much of history concealed, magic came to some as easily as breathing.โ
His voice, much like a hearty red wine, goes straight to her head and its cadence leaves her giddy.
He continues. โA fire could be summoned or extinguished with a thought; without need for wood or matches to ignite it. Many feared such power, and locked mages away to prevent what they might someday do.โ
A story, like the ones about the stars. He settles back into it so quickly, so unexpectedly. On the rooftop at Varricโs with the music thundering beneath themโthatโs when they had started. Sheโd matched his rhythm, once, and the counts of the syllables. Trying to see if he noticed. Trying to provoke him. Trying to see what his ruffled feathers looked like. But he hadnโt missed a beat, only looked at her as though she was all that existed, and begun another story.
Athi tucks her feet underneath her and watches the smoke curl up into the ink-black sky. Carefully, she considers her story and patiently, he waits.
โThe Dalish have some stories still, of spells that sunk into the earth and made the forest twist and grow around them. A secret gift from silent gods to keep the world from chaos, because nature has a way of running wild. So they kept it to themselves, passed down from every Keeper to their First.โ
โVery good.โ His voice wears a smile and a hint of pride. โIโd hoped you had not forgotten.โ
โItโs your turn,โ she says, still looking up.
โYou are right. Give me a moment.โ
Feeling indulgent, she lets her eyes rove his face. The glow of the fire on the rise of his cheeks, the focused calm, the cut of his jaw.
โAt night, when people slept, theyโd dreamโbut not the empty flailing of a restless mind devoid of stimulation. They visited the Fade, a realm of spirits who reflected expectations, memories, even desires. Waking and sleeping, each world shaped and reflected the other.โ
She grows too content, watches him for a split second too long, and it bubbles up in her chest before she can stop it. โIโve missed you,โ and it feels good. Feels honest.
His eyes shift to meet hers, the calm replaced by something soft, surprised, sorrowful.
โAnd I have missed you.โ
Her heart beats wildly against her rib cage. She doesnโt know where to go from here, but then sees a head of yellow curls and the kindest face sheโs ever kissed, and Cullen walks up to stand behind her. His hands on her shoulders, he leans down to whisper in her ear.
โCome to bed?โ
She wants to say no, wants to stay, but she shouldnโt. Sheโs lost enough ground already. So she nods, takes his hand, and fills her smile with an apology.
โGoodnight, Solas.โ
He smiles back, sort of.
Back in their tent with a flashlight hanging overhead, she roots around the bottom of her bag.
โHey Cullen?โ she asks. โIs my toothbrush in with your stuff?โ
โI donโt know. Maybe? Iโll check when I get back.โ
โBack? What happened to bed?โ
โYes, back. I need to go useโwell, a tree.โ He chuckles and kisses her on the forehead and rustles off into the darkness.
Athi changes out of her jeans and her tank top and sits there in the mostly-dark, watching the target-shaped circle of light sway slightly over the blankets. Then she grabs his backpack and starts looking.
Itโs not in with his toiletries, or buried under his clothes. Last, she checks the side pockets, and her fingers brush something smooth and hard and suspiciously shaped. Her gut says leave it , but she pulls it out anyway. Just to look, so she wonโt wonder.
It fits in her palm. A small square box with rounded edges, black and sleek and velvet, but thereโs no way it is what she thinks it is. Still, she flips back the lid. Just to check, so she wonโt worry.
Inside is a delicate silver-colored ring, engraved vines climbing toward a deep blue stone. Inside the band, a tiny engraving: everlasting.
The tent zips open again.
โAny luck? Maybe you . . .โ He trails off when he sees what she holds in her hand.
