Approximately a month after their unexpected break-up at Crestwood, Ellana struggles to maintain a working relationship with Solas. But reoccurring nightmares and the fear that demons may be creeping into her dreams drives her to seek his aid, as much as she does not want to. When they are drawn back into a rekindled affair, Solas' guilt drives him to finally tell her the truth.

An introspective one-shot of Solas' POV while he struggles to adjust to the new world, for all its faults, with an underlying theme of being both touch-averse and starved. Part of Roses canon. A warning may be required for Solas-appropriate levels of prejudice and small-mindedness in the beginning.

Some riddles require more than just cleverness to answer. I always thought that Solas confession of love seemed abrupt in canon. What if he'd had a little push to do it?

"It started innocently enough. In fact that was, arguably, the worst part." Finding the Forbidden Oasis after days of dangerous travel offers both relief and temptation. In the early days of flirtation and caution, that proves to be too much for a weakened Solas.

Ellana interruptions Solas' early-morning exercises to challenge him with sparring session. He's stronger and she's faster, but neither matter when they both play dirty. Or: 'how fighting doubles as foreplay - a story of their first kiss'.

Exactly what it says on the tin. A repository for scenes within the "Roses Where Thorns Grow" canon that were either originally meant to be included and no longer worked with the 'flow', are silly/smutty/whatever add-ons to various chapters, or are prompts/alternates that have nowhere else to go. Will likely not be quite as polished as the main story, and ratings will likely vary.

The first inklings of attraction in an otherwise innocent act. Set in Roses canon, pre-relationship.

A kinkmeme prompt, "Accidental voyeurism", that I wrote literally months and months ago to go along with my headcanon that Cullen has a massive crush on the Inquisitor and is completely oblivious to the signs that she doesn't return it, and/or is involved with Solas. The Commander hides in the basement archives to work, but he isn't the only one who knows of this hideaway...
