    Summary

    To some, the return of magic is a miracle; to others, a catastrophe. But to physicist Julia Chen, it’s all a colossal headache. Now, she’s setting out across the wintry, post-apocalyptic landscape of Fairy-occupied Canada in search of answers. The subject of her inquiries: an enigmatic Fae known only as Mr. Elsevier, who seems to have power over matter and energy at the most fundamental level and who is willing to share this knowledge—for a price.

    But Julia’s quest does not take place in a political vacuum. In Ottawa, the new Fairy Viceroy draws up her plans for the country, even as her puppet Prime Minister, Chuck Oakes, struggles desperately to protect his people. But rebellion is brewing, and Mr. Elsevier may just be the key to human victory.

    Now, with the murderous politics of the Fae heating up, Julia will soon learn that, in sorcery as in science, simple questions can sometimes have very dangerous answers. She is on the cusp of ultimate knowledge: a theory of magic that would explain what has become of the world and how it can be reversed—but asking the wrong question may well unravel reality itself.

    Summary

    Castling: the only time in chess when two pieces can move at once and when a piece, other than the knight, can move over another piece. The king moves two spaces to the left or right, and the rook moves over and beside the king, all in one move.

    A rewrite of Veilguard to be more in line with the original ideas from Project Joplin/Dreadwolf Rises.

    Summary

    During an eventful night fighting darkspawn, Warden Lilja Thorne is recruited by none other than Varric Tethras and Scout Lace Harding. Dismissed by the First Warden for not following orders, Warden Thorne joins her fellow dwarves in their search for a friend, Solas, a trickster elven god trying to tear down The Veil. When their search finally reaches its assumed end, the ritual they are trying to stop turns into a whole new set of problems, leaving Lilja "Rook" Thorne to build a team and save the world from the Evanuris and Sixth Blight.

    Despite being someone who keeps the more intimate details of her life to herself, Rook finds herself surrounded by new companions that she readily calls friends. Slowly, but surely, Rook falls for one Scout Lace Harding, and while she has her reservations, she finds herself happily following the Scout wherever she may lead.

    Summary

    There was once a woman who rode to battle seeking death; there was once a man who survived a life of war and bade her live. And suddenly her winter passed, and the sun shone on her...

    But the sun continues its journey, and shadows and winter both come again in turn. It is the way of things.


    A study on Éowyn and Faramir in the period of time between their trothplighting at the funeral of Théoden and their departure for Ithilien, with a focus on how depression and grief aren't simple, linear things, and how a place can be wondrous and terrible and home and prison all at once.
