By Blood & Lyrium {Dragon Age: Inquisition}

Dorian Pavus does not know what to expect when the last of Clan Lavellan is found. Some hope it will soften their ever-enraged Inquisitor. Others hope it will bolster her drive in the battle against Corypheus and his Venatori.

What he most certainly doesn't expect is a man who seems to know him, though Dorian cannot seem to remember how. Covered in scars, ink, and disarming smiles, Elian is an intriguing mystery to Dorian. As secrets, past wounds, and the impending destruction of the world about them test Dorian's morals, Dorian finds himself faced with the decision of what is more important to him: what he wants for his country and what he wants for himself.
