Summary
Ravus hears whispers as he shucks his field jacket. He tries not to pay them any mind but he suspects that he’s intended to overhear at least some of the remarks. Soft, and how’s he supposed to be in charge, and oughta be whipped - only that last really throws him. The rest he’s had said to his face before, but that’s new. He’s heard tell that the Army uses corporal punishment on its lower ranks, sometimes, but no one has ever dared to try it with him.

The Kenniliar-Charisat Road by bomberqueen17
Fandoms: WELLS Martha - Works, Martha Wells-- City of Bones, City of Bones - Martha Wells
24 Nov 2013

Summary
This is the backstory for Martha Wells' one-off novel City of Bones.
On the trade road from Kenniliar to Charisat, Sagai's caravan is beset by pirates, and he is captured. A lone krismen, Khat, rescues him. Several years later they are the co-stars of the novel, but this is the story she sketches out, of the prequel."Sagai shook his head, smiling faintly at the memory. 'We did not have an easy time together. It was two days before Khat stopped pretending he couldn’t speak any recognizable language. He was willing to risk his life to free me simply because I was a prisoner of the pirate band he had chosen to harry, but he wanted nothing to do with me once I was liberated, and he wanted my help least of all. I think almost that he would have been perfectly happy to bleed to death in the Waste if only he could have done it in private, without an ignorant city dweller pestering him.'"

Bookmarker's Notes
Full of creepy crawly desert creatures, cannibalism, and the overwhelming horror of someone who actually seems to want to help. I really do love Khat so much.

Summary
Justin never returned to Hogwarts after the Death Eaters came. He's found that the Muggle world offers other kinds of transfiguration — a body alchemy far more powerful than any magic spell. Sometimes he wonders if anyone even remembers that once, years ago, he was a novice wizard.
As it turns out, one person does, and it's the one person he'd most want to.

A Fire and a Conflagration by iodhadh for serenityfails
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Inquisition
17 Dec 2017
Tags
Summary
At first, the Iron Bull is just writing poetry to Dorian because it's a fun way to tease him—he gets all huffy when he's pretending he doesn't think the lowbrow stuff is funny, and besides, he started it by making it a Vint-versus-Qunari thing. It's only fair for Bull to needle him a bit.
At first, Dorian is only writing back to Bull because he can't let him win. The pride of Tevinter's literary tradition (not to mention his own dignity) is at stake here, and he will not be beaten at metaphor by someone who thinks cattle-related puns are an appropriate way to seduce someone.
And that's all it is. At first.

There are no Electric Sheep under the Qun by coveredinfeels
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Inquisition
22 Dec 2016
Tags
Summary
Tevinter is the only place in Thedas not to make use of Qunari technology. Everywhere else? Look, the Qun might have had a reputation for war in the past, but now all they do is make very useful machines who may or may not be watching your every move and reporting back to a centralised database we're just kidding ha ha.
The Iron Bull, a Hissrad-class unit, might have some prior malfunctions on his record but he was recalibrated post-Seheron and now he's just fine, and not obsolete yet, thank you very much. A little observational work is far below his original specifications, but that's a good way of making sure there are no unfortunate reoccurrences.
Then Madame de Fer decides that Dorian Pavus needs someone-- or something-- to make sure he doesn't actually work himself into an early grave-- and, well, Control Central jump at the chance to have him keeping a close eye on a Tevinter mage.
This is how Dorian Pavus ends up with a very large, very battered Qunari android standing in his living room.
