Why are there no plans to run the mini bang again?

I have neither the time nor energy to devote to it. however, if anyone wanted to run their own, I would be perfectly okay with that.

[adoribullmb]

Do you plan to run this again this spring? Is the currently posted schedule for last year?

there are no plans to run the minibang again.

The Duchess and the Spy

Author name: teaandcathair Artist name: serenity-fails

Story Title: The Duchess and the Spy Link to story: Voilà! Rating: Explicit Warnings: This is a Genderswap Regency romance AU, containing rampant historical anachronism, slapdash borrowing from canon, trashy regency romance tropes, vague Tevinter nastiness toward queer people, and one extremely brief reference to marital/corrective rape. Plus, fisting!

Story summary:

Doria is the Duchess of House Pavus— the only heir of a powerful and ambitious family, and a favorite of the Tevinter Regency gossip mill. The Iron Bull is a mercenary captain from the colonies, whose service to the Imperium has led her into high society with her small company in tow for several weeks of fêtes and parties.

The two meet first at a soirée, then again when Bull accidentally climbs into Doria’s library window in search of letters regarding a Venatori conspiracy against the Inquisition—and despite how mismatched they may seem, the pull between them is too much to ignore. Has Doria found the answer to her problems in a seven-foot-tall Tal-Vashoth woman with one eye and the most horrid taste in clothing she’s ever witnessed?

Warnings: Major Character Death, Graphic Depictions of Violence

Story summary:

While the world was still reeling from the Fifth Blight, a Breach opened up beneath the sea, allowing city-destroying monsters into Thedas. The Inquisition was reformed, and people of all nations joined together under its banner to defeat the threat of these leviathans.

A kind of, sort of, not really Pacific Rim AU.

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: Bondage, Spoilers for Demands of the Qun, Hurt/Comfort, Top Dorian

Story summary: Dorian hasn’t seen the Iron Bull since they returned from the Storm Coast—his Chargers intact, his ties to the Qun less so. Dorian has convinced himself that this doesn’t bother him, and is none of his business. Indeed, he would likely have avoided the Bull indefinitely if the Inquisitor hadn’t informed him that the Bull had been attacked by his former comrades. Concerned despite himself, Dorian goes to check on the Bull. Bull asks a favor: that Dorian take a turn tying him up for a change. Uncertain at first, Dorian finds he is willing to help someone he has come to (reluctantly) care about.

However, when they return to Skyhold he realizes that he might not have been so lucky…

Roses are Red, some Orchids are Blue

Author name: Gobetti

Artist name: SarahWhat

Story Title: Roses are Red, some Orchids are Blue

Link to story: Ao3

Rating: Mature

Warnings: Mentions of past abuse, emotional manipulation

Story summary: Dorian, 27 years old, senior in college, and Bull, 31 years old, freshman at the same college, meet each other by mere chance. Both men are carrying heavy weights from their past, but while Bull’s weight gradually becomes lighter, Dorian’s only grows heavier and heavier with each passing day.

Against all odds, they drift closer and closer to each other, and although Dorian knows this is a relationship doomed to end sooner rather than later, he cannot find it in himself to let Bull go.

In the Shadow of Dreams

Artist name: fanjapanologist

Story Title: In the Shadow of Dreams

Link to story: Click here!

Rating: M

Warnings: Discussion of Suicide, Minor Character Death, Graphic Violence, Angst (with a hopeful ending)

Story summary: A loose Inception AU based in a modernized Thedas, where technology evolved under the heavy influence of magic. Magic has weakened significantly over time, the Fade and demons are hotly debated topics of literature past, and dream extraction has taken the Game to a new level. Bull, a former Ben-Hassrath extractor turned independent dream security contractor, and his team are tapped by the fledgling Inquisition to run a dangerous, impossible mission: inception. They plan to bring down their enemy by targeting the dreams of his right hand mage. To complicate matters, the plan’s being conceived by the only person known to have accomplished inception successfully: dream architecture expert Dorian Pavus. But Dorian and Bull have a complicated history. And Dorian’s being haunted, or possibly hunted, by the ghost of his success, something he’s beginning to believe is more than just a projection. To succeed, they’ll have to overcome and face the past, and maybe, just maybe, find love again along the way.

Fighting Shape

Author name: Auditory Cheesecake/ acheesecakewrites Artist(s) name: Kamineo and Sorellaerba

Story Title: Fighting Shape Link to story: Here! Rating: E Warnings: Brief (one-sentence) references to recreational drug use and disordered eating. Alcohol consumption. God-awful puns. Story summary: After a one night stand, Dorian doesn’t expect to see Bull ever again. In fact, he does his best to put the whole evening out of his mind. That’s rather challenging when Bull winds up being a volunteer at the gym Dorian goes to– and it gets harder (pun absolutely not intended), when Bull continues to be unforgivably friendly.

Story summary: Dorian and the Bull, now both elderly and happily retired from world-saving, have to resort to petty crime so their kids will call. Along the way they terrorize some Orleisians, go to the opera, and adopt a couple of strays. It’s a nice way to keep busy.

Story summary: Everyone says there’s a dragon pestering Crestwood. Funny, though, that the Crestwood villagers themselves seem to know nothing about it. Funnier still that some Vint appears to have moved in the area at around the same time as the rumoured dragon. Coincidence? Bull thinks not.

Or, Bull goes looking for a dragon and instead finds Dorian.

Better Late Than Never

Author name: Cyber-Fairie

Artist(s) name: Sorellaerba

Story Title: Better Late Than Never

Link to story: http://archiveofourown.org/works/11997744/chapters/27144477 Rating: E Warnings: Rated E for Explicit Sex (Blow Jobs, Rimming, Anal Sex) Story summary:  

Ever since an ill-conceived nights drinking, Dorian’s been sure that his attraction to Bull was a one-sided thing. In response, Dorian did the only logical thing and spent the next six months avoiding any social situation that might involve Bull.

That includes the bachelor auction Sera convinces Dorian to sub in on at the last minute. An auction being held at the exclusive Skyhold Keep and, perhaps more importantly, an event The Iron Bull will most certainly NOT be attending because of a prior commitment with the Chargers.

What happens when Bull returns early willing to do ANYTHING to have a chance to explain things to Dorian…including purchase him for the night.

Story Title: Seven Habits of Highly Effective Dragonslayers

Link to story: http://archiveofourown.org/works/11975772

Rating: Teen

Warnings: Everyone swears a lot, violence against dragons

Story summary: Harmon knows how this goes. He’s from Nevarra, and he’s read books. Plural. If you want to fight a dragon you need to find a Kindly Mentor who can teach you all their Secret Strategies.

So all he needs to do is find this old Tal-Vashoth dragonslayer his cousin keeps going on about, get him to teach Harmon about dragons, convince everyone else to go along with his dragon-hunting plans, fight a dragon, and win.

Easy, right?

Starring one cheerful qunari grandpa, one grumpy necromancer grandpa, and a bunch of Nevarran mercenaries who are about to have a very educational experience.
