(Dragon Age Inquisition & Trespasser DLC spoilers)
To be evil means not knowing that you are evil; you simply do what you want as long as the consequences are to your benefit. An evil person would lie, cheat, and manipulate others for his/her goal or entertainment.
Solas is not only evil, but also cursed. His curse originates from his undoings to his fellow elves. The only reason Dragon Age Inquisition has only one romantic partner with a sad ending is because, his, is the only real one.
Let me explain, Solas romances the inquisitor until they get the orb. However, the orb is broken and he cannot get power from it. Thus, he leaves his supposed love, the inquisitor, in search for that power. He leaves her right after she becomes of no use to him. As lovely and innocent he might appear to be to her, he is still evil and would still lie to get his way.
But, that is not all. As evil as he might be, he is also cursed. His soul is cursed with all the elven blood he let be shed. His curse forbids him from ever going beyond getting the power he craves. So he wanders between the Dragon Age multi-universe, trying to find a way out of a never ending cycle with each new player. He knows his curse is tied to the elves and that is why he only reaches out to a fellow elf and never to another race.
That, is the story of Solas, the evil manipulator that is cursed with the need for power he can never attain.

My Silver-Haired Demon
A man with a seriously messed up life and a load of mental problems made a lot of mistakes in his life but one stands above the rest. The story is about one man with a broken mind doing everything he can to try and make up for the wrong he did and find the woman he loves. This story is very intense and isn't for light reading. I think of the story like this: This isn't the story of a hero slaying a dragon and rescuing the princess. Nor is this a story about a hero who triumphs over evil and rescues the maiden in peril. This is the story of a man, who fights as much with himself, as he does the world around him. He is no hero, he is simply a man, trying to make the best he can of himself, and fix what he broke. He is both the protagonist, and antagonist of this story, because he does as much harm to himself as he does good.Complete
What Comes After (Dragon Age: The Veilguard Solas x Lavellan)
The world has done Solas a disservice, demanding so much from one man who has given up everything of himself to save a world that still demands and takes, and takes and takes and takes until he is left with nothing in the end but a shell of himself and a life full of regrets. "Why?" And yet, he still questions what Ellana Lavellan so freely gives. A (slightly) slower burn version of the Solavellan reunion at the end of Veilguard. A/N: My headcanon is that Lavellan knows (somewhat, the gist of it anyway) about his memories and the things he's done. It feels too much like a bait-and-switch to me if he only reveals it all after she's joined him in the Fade prison, and that she's been misled and lied to. That doesn't sit quite right with me for a happy Solavellan ending especially since she's basically pledged her entire life to him (of course, if it's a dysfunctional Solavellan ending then that works well!)Complete
Five Heroes - The Draken And The Phoenix
A long, long time ago, the world was submerged with total darkness. Great spirits, terrible creatures, and fallen demons were in complete control. Spirit king Dyeus introduced duality; light would exist with darkness, and darkness would exist with light. The establishment of new positive elements leads to the defeat of Chaos. However, humankind misused freedom and created evil, leading Dyeus to vanish into oblivion, leaving her lover Andromeda devastated. Unable to control her anger towards humanity for sending away her lover, Andromeda unleashed Dread the Draken to strike havoc on humanity. When the Dread makes its landing in Edinburg, it defeats a hundred soldiers with just two breaths. It then sends a message to the council through Mirk that he has kidnapped Ula, Dyeus' daughter. The Dread demands that the council should send a fighter to the magical crystals Meriedem cave to fight him if they want Ula to stay alive. If the council fails, Dread will fulfill his desire to render humankind extinct. Why does the Dread ask to fight one man at a time while it can defeat a hundred fighters with only two breaths? Will the council agree to send a single soldier, or will they launch a full-scale war? Will Ula be saved, or what is her fate in the hands of the Dread? Will the people resume their everyday lives, or will the world go back to Chaos? To have a taste of the full experience, grab your copy and follow along with the unending series of uncertainty and unrest for humankind.

Though we met five hundred years ago, why do you still bring me into your life? So much can happen in that many years but instead of staying with your friends or finding other things to do, you're with me. Why?" I ask again. Though I don't like being so forward, I can't help it. I'm scared to hurt him. He shifts his gaze to me. His hazel eyes gleam into my blue ones as if he knows something that I don't. "You're right. I had five hundred years, five hundred years to stay with my friends and five hundred years to find other hobbies." He pauses, taking in breath. "But I had five hundred years without you, we only had two weeks together. And those two weeks were the best I've ever had.

Curse of the Stars Book 1
"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?Complete
