Summary
She could break the Empress like a twig, she knew full well. Could pry her mind open like a river krust; leave behind a drooling husk plagued by nightmares that’d leave her clawing out her own eyes in horror. There was a part of her that itched to do so, even now. And yet...
“A drink,” Delilah found herself saying, not bothering to hide her amusement. “Why not?”--
Two years before the events of Dishonored, Jessamine receives an unexpected visit one evening from her half-sister. Delilah, too, is not expecting how her visit ends up going...

Summary
He catches sight of V in a window, glaring down accusingly at him. “Don’t look at me like that,” he tells her, but her expression doesn’t change, ‘cause he’s the one making it.
It hits him, then. This is it. He’s gonna wake up every day to that reproachful stare, spend every moment of the time he has left wrapped in a living reminder of his greatest failure; the promise he couldn’t keep.
Something cloying and sharp surges up inside him and he breaks her gaze, ducks into a grimy alcove behind a set of concrete stairs. Doubled over, braced against the wall, his head spins as breath catches in his lungs, choking; suffocating.
“Oh, V,” he gasps. “The hell am I supposed to do?”
There’s no answer, of course. Johnny’s alone.--
Johnny wakes up in V's body and struggles to come to terms. It certainly doesn't help that elements of her old life keep getting thrown at him, no matter how hard he tries to make a clean break.
A fic bridging the gap between the game's climax and the Temperance ending.

Summary
V takes a swallow of her tequila and can’t help but notice it’s Johnny’s preferred brand. For some reason that, of all things, really sets her off.
“If you spent the past fifty years in a coma,” she blurts out. “Regrettin’ to hell and back everything that went down ‘tween you and the person you cared about most, an’ then by some miracle, you actually get the chance to say what you wish you coulda said back then...”
She’s aware it’s gotta be the liquor talkin’ at this point, but fuck, ain’t no one else in the goddamn world she can vent to about this shit. “I mean, why the fuck would you pass that up?”
It registers, then, that Kerry’s starin’ at her strangely, mouth slightly agape. “Wha—what’d you say?” he stammers.
Just then Johnny snaps into being, interposing himself between her and Kerry. “Not another fuckin’ word, V.”--
A series of vignettes largely focusing on V and Johnny's relationship and its progression over time. Each chapter is a standalone short story, arranged roughly in chronological order. The events therein are original to this fic, but are placed within context of where they would fall in the canon.

Summary
Johnny reaches into V's pocket and fumbles out the pills floating around there. Pseudoendo-fuckin’-trizine. All of ‘em. She must’a mixed ‘em up, didn’t bother checking she had the right damn ones.
“V, you fuckin’ gonk,” he hisses, but it’s too late, she’s already gone, and he’s left there, alone, standin’ in front of cop choom’s fuckin’ trailer.
He turns ‘round real quick—maybe he can delta the fuck outta there ‘fore he’s spotted—but he hasn’t gone five steps when a hand clamps down on his shoulder.
“V! There ya are. C’mon in, Joss’s just gettin’ started on dinner.”
Fuck, Johnny thinks as River Ward, smiling down at the person he believes is V, steers him into the trailer. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.--
Wanting nothing less than to attend another family dinner with River and the Kutchers, Johnny convinces V to take the Omega Blockers so he can fade blissfully into the background. Except neither of them accounted for V popping the wrong pill, and before he knows it, Johnny is faced with his worst possible nightmare: having dinner with a cop.

Summary
“We will save our friend from himself, if we can.”
Inquisitor Morinne Lavellan must steel herself to confront the man who left her, took her arm, and threatens to end the world they know. Those that still believe in her are convinced she’s the only one who might be able to convince him to stop - but what if the Inquisitor’s allegiances aren’t quite as strong as they used to be?
Eager to restore his People, Solas leads an army of elves that grows stronger every day. But when it comes time to directly confront those he once called friends, some of his agents begin to question if he truly has the stomach to see this grim duty through to the end.
Then an unlikely Grey Warden enters the game after witnessing Solas’ machinations firsthand, drawing the attention of Viscount Tethras. It earns Rook the job of a lifetime: put down the Dread Wolf once and for all… no matter who gets in her way.
Eventually they must learn that sometimes, terrible choices are all that remain.
