From Ashes - Chapter 18 - Fenrevas - Dragon Age - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Chapter excerpt:

The lantern outside the tavern swings in a gust of wind. Flickering first before the light goes out. In the eerie dark the wooden sign squeaks on unoiled hinges as it is blown back and forth. If Hawke squints, she can just make out the name painted in red and white. Dropping her pack to her feet, Hawke stands on her tip toes to read it. “Letoilee, doo Nord,” she reads, Ferelden accent thick around the words. “Well, that sounds Orlesian, that’s a relief. Not that I doubted your navigational skills at any point, Fenris.” Fenris huffs a laugh beside her. “L’ Etoile du Nord. Star of the north,” Fenris translates, his whispered words dripping with irony. He had been their way finder through the desert. The stars and moons his map, Fenris had navigated the wilds of northern Thedas as Hawke watched for danger and followed his footsteps. They had turned their backs on the North Star and sought the bright light of the sun’s second moon. She hangs low in the sky tonight, dwarfed by her sister.  The night sky guided them both South, here, to Ghislain. A small town where the central provinces of Orlais meet the desert, halfway between Weisshaupt and Adamant. Hawke has never felt so small. So lost beneath constellations of stars she does not recognise. Behind her, the jaws of Ragged Tooth are a pack of dogs hunting the fox. Ahead lies the throat of the Abyss, dark memory waiting to swallow her whole.  “How about that, it seems we’ve found our way. And not a moment too soon. I could murder a hot dinner and a pint of something cold right about now.” She slings her pack over her shoulder once again and groans. “And you, Fenris?”

Mama tells me stories about my dad.

She says that she's never met anyone like her.

She looks out the window and says things sometimes.

I think she misses her.

Mama says that dad is a hero.

She says that she was lucky to have met her.

I want to meet her.

Mama points up to the stars at night and says that she's up there, somewhere.

I hope she comes back down.

Potter moved around a bit before walking to the room. Draco looked at him as he opened the door. He was just wearing his pants and holding two cups of coffee.

“Black?” Draco asked as he sat up.

“Yes.”

“Like my soul.” Draco said as he accepted the coffee. Potter snorted, sitting down next to him in the bed.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning.” Draco replied, sipping the hot coffee. Potter put his on the bedside table.

“I believe I promised a blowjob if you stayed the night.” Potter said with a grin, moving the blanket out of the way to reveal Draco’s naked body.

Elsa Kirsch has lived across the street from Scott McCall her entire life, she'd be lying to you, herself, and everyone else if she said she hadn't noticed her neighbours strange behaviour and the even stranger characters that seemed to come and go from his house on a regular basis. But she ignored it, just like everyone else in Beacon Hills did. She just wanted to make it through high school alive, and so if that meant turning a blind eye to the howling that came from her super hot neighbours house every full moon, then turn a blind eye she shall. That was until an offensively good looking stranger turns up on the night of senior scribe, and Elsa's life is changed forever.

A sudden influx of teenagers with unexplained powers that they have little to no control over, a couple of dread doctors and being made captain of the soccer team means that Elsa has way more to deal with than she was emotionally or physically ready for.  All she wants to do is make out with Scott McCall, write some Harry Potter fanfiction and hang out with her best friends. Instead, her weird uncle Viktor is giving her cryptic messages about her future and she's accidentally setting fire to things...with her mind.

Prepare for hell.
