Keeping Secrets: Chapter One Hundred

The Elvhen God of Gay Messes You don’t sleep. Sera does, but obviously you can’t with her there. Cole doesn’t even show up, despite the fact you’d tried to use this being his tent as an excuse to chase her out earlier. Of course he wouldn’t; he could obviously tell you had company, and knowing Cole was probably just as happy as you about the situation. Probably more, since he didn’t tend to have your…

Keeping Secrets: Chapter Ninety-Nine

On-Again “I thought you hated me,” turns out to be the first intelligent thing you say, which in retrospect should probably have been a conversation you instigated before bringing Sera to an orgasm. “You really wanna have this conversation now?” she asks, fortunately looking amused rather than annoyed. “Y’ haven’t even had yer turn yet.” Your ‘turn’ is a very appealing concept, but that’s not a thing that’s going to happen while you’re awkwardly balanced…

Keeping Secrets: Chapter Ninety-Eight

Panic The last shreds of the demons are caught between Blackwall and the charging warriors. They’re gone in an instant, no match for the twin onslaught. Which just leaves a lot of eyes on you, actually, kneeling on the ground surrounded by a little pile of throwing daggers, laughing hysterically with Sera. It’s Solas voice that snaps you out of it, tense with fear. “Emma! Sera!” He’s still at a distance on his mount when…

Keeping Secrets: Chapter Ninety-Seven

Spooning Cole tries. He really does. The poor guy is doing his best. You’re just glaring at him every time he so much as opens his mouth in your direction. You feel bad about it, you do. It’s just that you feel bad about everything right now and you just don’t want to hear it. You also don’t want anyone to hear it. Sera is mercifully in the ahead party, but Solas and Cole are…

I Said Kiss Kiss Fall In Love Damnit That was a mistake. That was definitely a mistake. And yet you did it, and when Sera drags you in to keep doing it, you do that too, shoes slipping against slick roof tiles as you struggle to keep your balance so your hands can do other things. Her hand sliding up the back of your tunic is fire against the ice of your soaked skin. It…

Keeping Secrets: Chapter Ninety-Five

Kiss Kiss Fall In Love The inn is just your average side-of-the-Imperial-Highway affair, but it might as well be a seat at the Maker’s side for how happy you are to see it. You have to stay behind the others a bit to see the mounts into the stables; it takes a bit for you to convince the stable master that you need an elven stablehand, specifically, to handle the harts. Derreck might have absolutely…

Keeping Secrets: Chapter Ninety-Four

“How are you adjusting to all this travel?” Solas wants to know. You’re taking a bit of a break from reading, for your voice’s sake if nothing else. You’ve flopped down a bit listlessly on your bedroll; Solas is sitting upright on the blanket you leave out for Cole on the off-chance he actually needs it. He’s towards the center of the tent, just so that he can sit up without his head hitting the…

Keeping Secrets: Chapter Ninety-Three

You manage to get the horses saddled, thanks to Blackwall and Dorian’s help. The two of them keep their petty bickering to a minimum, to your relief. It’s not that you don’t believe Dorian has been a prat to Blackwall; you’re pretty sure he has, actually, because he’s been a prat to you, too. But so has Blackwall. So has pretty much everyone here. Can no one else see a foot in the mouth for…

Keeping Secrets: Chapter Ninety-Two

Assistance Your good mood carries you for a few hours, but you’re still moving pretty fast on a mount a bit larger than you’re accustomed to. By mid-afternoon, you’re sore and miserable all over again. Only this time you’re feeling less shy and more comfortable voicing your complaints, loudly, since neither the Inquisitor nor Seeker Pentaghast are within earshot. “I’m not built for this,” you grumble. “I’m built for remarkably few things, actually, but this…

Keeping Secrets: Chapter Ninety-One

You don’t leave the tree for a while. It’s relaxing, being up here. Reminds you of other trees and other people, but that doesn’t matter, because one friend in a tree is much the same as any other. At one point, Cassandra comes to check on the two of you—and let you know Solas has gone to sleep, so you don’t need to fear retribution for the prank you were very obviously the cause of—but…
