Lavellan, flirting with Solas: “I will kill anyone who tries to hurt you.”

Solas, flirting with Lavellan: “So. How flexible are you? I would like you to dominate me. I would also like to dominate you.”

Both of them are freaks and I love them.

Neria bursts into laughter, falling into him, holding him as tight as he holds her. They've found their way home. And everything is going to be just fine.

Thank you so much @sunshinemage for the gorgeous art of Solas and Neria! I can't think of a more beautiful end to their tale ♥

I’ve been thinking about how someone said that every time solas and lavellan kiss he grabs her ass.

And now all I can picture is lavellan taking solas’ hand at the end of veilguard to stop him from grabbing her ass in front of morrigan and rook.

OP.

How are we doing now? Thoughts? Prayers?

Solavellan Breaks My Heart….and here is why

Why is the Solas romance still ruining my life? Let’s consider some things, shall we? 

The Solavellan romance has the least amount of interaction of all the romances. 

The intimate details of the romance are left ambiguous and open for the player to interpret. 

It’s the only romance where the lover leaves! 

What else do we lack in Solavellan? We never get the option to start a romance with Solas! We never have the option to lock in a relationship with him!

As a result of this, there are no tender moments with stolen kisses on the battlements. There are no interludes of long walks with our lover. There are no cuddles on couches. And to make matters worse, you’re not locked into the Solavellan romance until he dumps you, breaks off your relationship, and walks away from you with no further explanation! Locked in! There is no running to Cullen for consolation. No burying your head in Blackwall’s chest and having him console you. Rebound relationships are not an option unless you ended it first.

Why? you ask between choking tears and ugly crying. Here’s my theory. 

Because, until this moment, Solas was not committed. 

You’ve shared kisses on balconies, you discussed pursuing a relationship, you’ve had fade tongue…but no actual commitment. He’s never given you the option to start that romance, to lock him in place. In Crestwood, after he tells you he’s been trying to think of a way to show you what you mean to him, Lavellan fumbles for the words to define their relationship. 

Lavellan - That’s not necessary Solas, you’re my….*glances away, confused*

Solas - That is the question, is it not?

Even he concedes that there is no true definition for your relationship status. And he’s brought Lavellan to Crestwood to change that. He’s brought you here to advance to the next level of your relationship. We, as the player, never get the option to start the romance with Solas, to officially choose to be bonded to only him, like the other romances. Why?

Because Solas makes that choice. 

Solas is the one who gets the option to choose to start the romance and to make it official. He is the one who gets to lock the two of you together in the relationship. He is the partner doing the wooing here so of course the choice is his to make because you’ve already expressed your interest in him again and again to get this far. 

He chooses Lavellan. He locks them and himself together in the committed relationship. Then, he leaves and says he can’t do this. 

But guess what? You’re not single. That means that neither is he. You are still locked in that romance. And so is he. 

I think Solas realizes that if he truly loves Lavellan, and he does, he owes it to them to fix the world that he has broken. If he gives up himself, his duty, then he turns his back on his responsibilities and now Lavellan is one of his responsibilities and a much more compelling reason to right his wrongs. And because he loves them, and they love him, his enemies can hurt them and use them against him. That’s assuming that his mission to right his wrongs does not cost him his life and cause Lavellan further pain. So, he leaves. 

People say he is an ass, selfish, arrogant, etc. He’s not perfect. But he’s willing to sacrifice his happiness in order to make the world a better place than how he left it and that’s a selfless act. You could argue that it is Lavellan’s love and Lavellan’s belief in him that give him the strength to walk away.

Solas, and the Solavellan romance, break my heart because he walks away from Lavellan even more in love now than he was when he called them vhenan for the first time.

in case you want confirmation on whether Solas starts sobbing after Lavellan says “There is no fate but the love we share” 🥹

Solas notes on the randy dowager quarterly Inquisition Exposed (illustrated) but its just hundreds of "she wouldn't fucking say that" in the margins

that look he gives lavellan after they kiss. she really is his whole world

and he can barely turn his eyes away from her when he's about to thank rook. and immediately goes back to looking at her after he does

Okay but this gif actually proves Solas did indeed use FADE TONGUE considering he opens his mouth and yeah I am over analysing Solas animations at 2 am what of it
