The very long awaited Ch. 5 and Ch. 6 are finally up, sorry it took so long, life has thrown me a great many curve balls lately, and so this got put on the back burner for a long time. But I am slowly getting back into writing, so will work on it as much as I can.

I Think I Have The Translation Right now .....
"I will love you forever, you are my life, my love, my heart's desire"
Translation into DragonAge Elven:
"Avy lath na bell'anar'is, ma'sal'shiral, ma lath, ma vhenan'ara".
If anyone out there who is more knowledgeable than I ... If you could take a look at it and see if I did indeed translate it right, I would be most appreciative.

In Dire Need of a Translator!!
O.M.G.!!! I think my head is about to explode, lol! I've been doing some research on the DragonAge Elven language for my Fanfic Longing and it seems the more I research the more complicated it gets, /sighs heavily in frustration ! I guess it's that school girl part of me that says if your going to write it and use it then you better use it properly! Lol. Only problem is DragonAge Elven isn't a complete language, it's not even really a conlang, but an English cipher. Which makes it difficult to use when trying to make more than some simple phrases. There are some talented people out there who are expanding on the canon material to try and make it into a usable language such as FenxShrial. And for that I am eternally grateful, for they have helped immeasurably.
The phrase I was trying to translate into Elven was:
"I will love you forever, you are my life, my love, my heart's desire"
The only part I am having trouble with is the "I will love you forever, you are" part, because thanks to FenxShrial's wonderful work, I have been able to translate the rest of it from the "my life" part onwards, as well as some other phrases and sentences, as well as correcting my sentence structure a bit. So if any of you awesome people wanna take a crack at it I would be most grateful :D !

Wintersend
I just felt like a spoonful of misery with my coffee this morning.
—–
Cassandra is meticulous in her care for her weapons, her armour. Every night on expedition she sits by the fire and cleans, and mends, and polishes. In the forefront of battle—and she is always in the vanguard—she gleams, she flashes, shining like a star. The Inquisitor watches, and if she must sometimes shut her eyes from the pain of the brilliance she is careful that no one sees.
And now the first Wintersend at Skyhold approaches. It is the custom to give gifts. The Inquisitor acquires small items for each of her advisors, her companions. But what gift can one possibly give such a person as Cassandra? She is immensely practical. She does not care for fripperies.
She could give the Seeker armour, give her weapons. But she often asks Harritt and Dagna to craft new and better gear from the materials they find on expedition, and gives them to her companions. There is nothing significant in that, nothing personal.
She could ask them to craft something especially for the Seeker, something beyond the practical, something truly unique and beautiful. But Cassandra already seems to react to gifts of fine armour or weapons with a degree of suspicion, having made it plain that she cannot return the Inquisitor’s affection. To show her regard so clearly would be uncomfortable for both of them.
And beyond the utilitarian, she keeps nothing, wants for nothing. She enjoys books, but the Inquisitor could not bear the teasing that would ensue if she asked Varric to write something again. There is still far too much pain around Cassandra’s refusal of her attentions, even though it occurred quite some time ago. In truth, she doubts she will ever be free of it.
A conversation overheard by chance gives her an idea. In the end, in a shop in Val Royeaux, she finds what she has been looking for: a whetstone of the fabled Celestine Black. It comes in a small leather kit designed to be carried on a belt, with a simple silverite container for oil and a place for keeping a rag. It is not elegant—it is not expressive—but she knows that it is something the Seeker will accept.
And she does accept it, with the rare halfsmile that is a genuine expression of pleasure. The smile catches on the edge of the Inquisitor’s armour and hangs there through the rest of the day, a warmth that pains and comforts in equal part.
It is practical. It is appropriate. And it does not say too much. There is no reason for Cassandra to know that it carries the weight of a breaking heart.

Kid!quisitor Ch. 3 - Story Time
I call this one: Varric fails at getting Varian to sleep, so daddy Solas has to do all the actual work.
@coffeependulum I just went with what I could. I wasn’t sure how much he actually was able to talk and make actual sense, so I just rolled with it.
In case anyone was curious, my boyfriend wanted a Varric fic, so this happened.
“Story!” Varian giggled, bouncing wildly up and down in his bed.
Varric chuckled, placing a chair next to him and sat down. “Alright, alright. Calm down, Dragonling. You’ll get your story.”
The redhead squirmed under the covers, excitement unable to be contained. Varric enjoyed telling him stories, the few times he was able. Out on the road, it was difficult to focus on little else but their missions, but here in Skyhold, Varian was able to remain a child. A bedtime story was perhaps one of the few pleasures he could over the boy.
Varian’s face brightened as he waited patiently.
Varric smiled. “Ah, how about I tell you about the time me and Hawke fought through the Deep Roads?”
“Booo!” Varian’s scrunched his face, giving Varric a thumbs down.
The dwarf was taken aback. Even if those around him had heard the story before, they would usually let him finish it anyway. He loved telling stories and of course every else knew that, even if they had heard the same Hawke stories over and over they would at least offer him that. “Huh…never gotten that reaction before.”
“You’ve told me all those.”
“Have I? Surely I’ve left something out.” Varric thought for a moment, searching his brain for a story he hadn’t told the kid. Bedtime stories happened so often, it would be pretty difficult to pick out one that he hadn’t told before.
Varian’s eyes widened, jumping out of bed with a jolt. “I wanna story about a dragon!”
“A dragon, eh? I have one or two of those. Let me think…How about the time me and Hawke saved the miners by taking care of the dragon?”
“Pffth, boring!” Varian hopped out of bed, stretching his arms out, mimicing what it would look like to fly. “What about the time you and Hawke rode the dragon to help save the town!?” On the last word, he put his hands on his hips in a heroic manner, a triumphant smile on his face.
Varric watched him completely stunned, a smile slowly creeping across his face. “I…don’t believe I’ve ever heard that one.”
“The dragon comes down and WHOOSH!-” He makes a large sweeping movement with his arms. "-Hawke grabs it and rides it and flies off!“ Varric smiles, stifling a laugh as Varian begins to run around the room making lots of flying noises. “Pewpewpew, take that you scoundrel!” Fire crackled in his mouth as he prepared his special trick.
"Varian!” A voice scolded from the stairs.
“What is going on here?” Solas asked, looking over at Varric for some sort of explanation. Varric looked apologetically at the mage, shrugging as he stifled a laugh.
“Solas!” Varian rushed over to him, a smile quickly growing across his face and clearly not asleep, which he should have been an hour before now.
“Relax, Chuckles. The kid was just having a bit of fun.”
“Yes well…It is time for him to get some rest. We have a lot that must be done in the morning.”
“Alright, Chuckles. You win.” Varric stood as he winked at Varian, patting him on the head when he passed by. “Goodnight, little Dragonling.”
“Night!” Varian looked back up at Solas, grabbing onto his hand with a frown. “Do I have to go to sleep?”
“Of course. All of us must rest at some point. It allows our bodies and minds to prepare for the next day.”
Solas led Varian to the bed, helping him get on. The little elf snuggled up under the covers once again. “We can hang out in the Fade again, right?”
Solas’ lips curled, smiling softly down at the young elf. “Perhaps. Once I get some work finished, I will meet you there.”
“Good.” Varian yawned, a soft smile crossing his lips as he closed his eyes. With Varian here and the Anchor only becoming more dangerous to him, Solas’ plans had become far more complicated as time progressed.
In all events he had prepared himself for, he had never imagined this outcome.
Still, he was the Inquisitor and as much as Solas would love to take the responsibility from him, he could not. He was just a child, but he must grow up.
With a soft sigh, he continued. “Tomorrow we will begin the journey for Halamshiral. I trust you will be ready.” Solas said as he patted the little elf’s head.
Varian peeked from behind soft, sleep deprived eyes. “But why do we have to go there? Orlais sounds…dumb.”
Solas smiled. “It is important we at least make ourselves known. Corypheus is plotting his next moves and we must find out what those are.”
“You’ll be there too, right?” Varian spoke softly, barely more than a mumble as he began to drift off to sleep.
“Of course, Varian. I will be wherever you need me.”
“Good…”
“Now, you should get some rest.” Solas turned and began to make his way towards the door, but stopped when Varian spoke up again.
“Can I have a hug before you go?” Varian whined, extending his arms as he assumed the position. Solas scoffed, but nodded. He walked back over, wrapping his arms around the boy. From what he had heard of his past before the Inquisition, he didn’t have much, but while this was better, it was no way for a child to grow up. Still…Solas would be there for him up until the last moment. It was the very least he could do.
“Good night.” Solas turned, but once again was stopped by a whining voice.
“Wait…will you stay with me? ….Until I fall asleep?”
He exhaled, the smile returning to his face. “Very well.” Solas sat on the side of the bed, laying next to the boy. Almost instantly, Varian curled up against his lap. This was all he could do for him, at least while he could. Soon, there was a good chance he would have to leave him, but now he could offer him this.
After a moment, Varian snored softly.
Solas spoke quietly as he stroked Varian’s bright red hair. “Son era, da’len.”

Quote
Please don’t use ‘I love you’ as a filler when you’ve got nothing to say. Don’t use it as an alternative for ‘sorry’. Don’t use it when you’re feeling bad or mad. Don’t use it to escape an argument. Don’t say it out of pity. Don’t use it against someone.
Instead, please use it wisely. Calm yourself then think once, twice, or maybe even a hundred times before using it. Question yourself before uttering it. Make sure you know it’s what you feel before saying it. Say it only to the right person. Say it because you mean it. Say it because not saying it makes you anxious. Say it because there’s no other word nor phrase that compares to how you feel. Say it because that person earned your trust to hear it and last;
Say this to yourself. You deserve it.
