Summary
Haydn waits expectantly. Which then morphs into a slowly-raising eyebrow as he realises that Morgott, crisply-spoken and decisive and impatient Veiled Monarch Morgott, is hesitating. When he does speak, it’s very careful: “It hath not escaped my notice that thou hast been… exceedingly loyal, to Leyndell. And its king. As reward for leal service, it is customary for knights to be offered… a boon.”
He blinks owlishly at him, “What sort of boon?”
Morgott gestures airily. It has a touch of the this is as far as I rehearsed to it. “Few things are out of a monarch’s power to give. Request what thou wilt.”
King Morgott of Leyndell aims to reward a loyal Tarnished knight for his service, but could not have anticipated what the Tarnished would ask for - or where it would lead.

Summary
“We could, we could…” he’s out of ideas. He knows Margit isn’t speaking in hyperbole, if he’s seen the Erdtree burn before. But it seems completely insane to Haydn that whatever force is behind the guidance of grace would move him to such mass destruction, when it also wants him to become Elden Lord and preside over a new age. It doesn’t line up with him destroying everything. “Grace wants me to do this, and grace is supposed to be good,” he lands on at last. Even Margit can’t deny that – his whole thing is venerating graceborn and spurning curseborn, himself included. “That has to mean there’s a future in which the Erdtree is okay again. And – and maybe Leyndell too, eventually. After the ash is cleared.”
But Margit just shakes his head, his voice hoarse. “It would not undo the damage done. I can speak no more plainly, Tarnished. If the Erdtree burns, thou condemns me to live in failure, and shame. So this must end here.”
Grace has guided tarnished to the final steps of Flame Peak, to burn the Erdtree. But there is one final, immovable obstacle in the way.

Summary
“The Erdtree is but a tool,” she speaks steadily, and the limb snaps into place with a scatter of arcane sparks. Metal fingers flex around a slender blade that forms part of the prosthesis. “And a tool for the Outer Gods, at that. It cannot be saved, nor should it be.”
These are bold words for the Erdtree’s number one fan, and Haydn casts an unsure glance his way. He sees the knuckles of those great hands tighten around his gnarled staff, along with the line of Margit’s jaw. “I must disagree,” he returns, clipped, on the knife edge of civility.
“You are short-sighted,” she tells him. The softness of her voice does nothing to mask the bluntness of her words. “Accept the last gasp of this era, Morgott. Miquella’s Age approacheth, and if you interfere, I will intervene.”
Tarnished and Margit venture to the Haligtree, where Tarnished finds more than he bargained for.

Summary
The focus of this temple-platform is a great statue of an unknown nox scholar, robed and bearded and lost to the ages. Perched atop the serene countenance, with an almost lackadaisical grace contrast to his great bulk, is the Lord of Blood in his winged glory. Bat-corvid feathers a blot against the star-strewn false sky. As effortless and dangerous as any bird of prey.
“You’ll forgive the staging,” he calls down to Haydn. Despite said staging his whispering voice may as well be next to Haydn’s ear, sending a prickle up his nape. “One never knows how a tarnished will react to bad news. I’d rather not be in hitting distance.”
Tarnished stumbles into the worst possible place.

Summary
“Which is of course his majesty’s business,” Marquis Cemais scrabbles at once. However the remainder of the court stare daggers at him until he elaborates, “But we do have some fears that, uhm, that, his intentions may be less than noble.”
Shanehaight too perseveres: “He came from nowhere and insinuated himself within the palace and your busy schedule. The Tarnished plainly seeks your favour, my liege, and we are troubled at the lengths he might go to to obtain it.”
Unbelievable. The courtiers have never been this absurd. Granted, there hasn’t been cause to ruffle any feathers in a long, long time, but Morgott remains ever dismayed by just how ruffled they are. Frostily, he says, “This is what thou means to discuss? Thou thinketh me seduced, Shanehaight?”
The Veiled Monarch and the newest Lord Contender are the talk of Leyndell. But as the Erdtree's fate remains a point of contention, the Tarnished takes more drastic measures.

Also contains a few side stories of the other people Ciardha sleeps with, which is basically everyone he can get his hands on.

Summary
The ongoing explicit exploits of Fenris and Garrett Hawke, who definitely has a misplaced Qunari somewhere in his lineage. All stories contain slash and size kink.
Also note, this deviates slightly from the in-game romance in that the cut-and-run one night stand never happened. Hawke is a leisurely-paced sort, so it was a more gradual build-up over the three years instead.

Summary
A thin, gray hand emerged from the folds of his cloak. The Creature’s telltale scales swayed, held aloft by the crook of a single finger. The Fell stared, jaw clenched. Tail stiff. Fur risen across his shoulders. The outside chill took root beneath his ribs, scouring his bones. He recognized the engraved artifact that weighed the instrument on one side. His shackle.
“Unbalanced,” the Creature lamented.
“I made no bargain with thee,” the Fell hissed.
“You made no bargain with me,” the Creature echoed amenably. “You are the prize he bargained for.”
The Fell Omen's eye is brimming with Grace. Executor saw it, behind the gauzy veil of Night that shrouds his face. A man so blessed by the Crucible does not deserve to be a puppet of the Nightlords. But Executor should be cautious when making deals with a Demon.
