In the face of your light

Inquisitor Lavellan saved the world, lost the world, then saved it again - loved and lost, loved and lost. Cruel joke upon cruel joke piled atop each other under the disguise of destiny and fate, until the curtains fell on him and Solas with their blades piercing the other's heart. It was a disgustingly poetic end.

And because his luck was rotten, he wakes at the moment before it all began.

A second chance or a second doom? Lavellan wasn't sure which he preferred.

I highly recommend the fic series-- it's truly a literary masterpiece. A+ story.

Hello!!💮🌸🌺🌼 Would you mind telling us more about Revasha? How's our little tigress's Veilguard run going? How's her meeting with Hanon?! Anything, tell me ANYTHING cus oh gosh I just adore her💖🏹💘🐯

Hello! Thank you for this ask <3 I was so happy that someone adores Revasha this much! I'm taking this as permission to yap

Our little tigress is running with the Veil Jumpers and she is fumbling this new gig pretty bad. Everything is so beyond her comprehension and she's holding on with grit and prayers.

Except she can't even bloody pray anymore because her gods are running around everywhere giving her problems. What's she supposed to say?

"Dear Ghilan'nain, please guide me and show me the way so that I can skewer all your tentacles and grill you for dinner"?

"Dear All-Father, grant me the strength and fury to slam dunk your decrepit ass into next Tuesday"?

She would probably pray in front of Solas though. "Dear Fen'Harel, please stop being a little bitch for five minutes and help me clean up the mess you made and stop blaming me for your problems. Sincerely, tired of your bullshit."

There are a lot of clashes between in-game Rook's dialogue outside of the dialogue wheel and Revasha's personality though. Which is just inevitable, and I fully expected it. In-game, Rook is quite eloquent at comforting their companions (therapy speak, some have said), but Revasha is just not that person so those bits are particularly hilarious for me. She's never been good at comforting words. She's more a comforting action person. She'd say "damn that sucks, do you want a fruit? I'll peel you an orange" and then disappear and reappear with peeled orange before you can say no.

Companion: I feel bad Revasha: That's nuts, I sliced you some apple

Her meeting with Hanon would have gone quite differently to in-game, for obvious reasons. They already have history. Although since this would be first timeline, they didn't actually meet until after Trespasser. Either way, she would have been so relieved to see him again and she'd have given him a big hug.

And then she would complain about Solas. Probably invite Hanon to the Lighthouse too. Ask him for advice, confide in him about being afraid and overwhelmed.

Romance-wise, she's got her eye on Davrin. They have many similarities and she appreciates his pragmatic approach and outlook.

Anyways, I better end my yapping here, sorry this was so scattered!

to anyone missing my writing please know i am also missing my writing

[noverturemusings]

I was listening to songs from Arcane s2 and as usual my thoughts immediately go to itfoyl (it lives rent free in my head 24/7 and takes up most of the space), and one of the songs in particular hit hard and it feels so itfoyl coded, perhaps Solas specifically. It's called Wasteland by Royal & the Serpent.

Ohh you are so right. Could be first timeline Lavellan too, but I do lean more towards Solas, yeah.

[noverturemusings]

Guess who's been playing Veilguard and finally reached my boy?

Put those "🥺" eyes away, sir.

Bonus, my Rook (Revasha when she's older, on her way to smack her hahren’s ex)

Chapter 82: Compass of the Heart

“For you,” said Dirthamen, “anything.” Lavellan’s heart thundered, fighting against the pressure already in his chest. “Stop me if I get too hungry.” Lavellan pulled him down and kissed him.

Felt inspired by this scene from Noverture's beast of a fic series

lover, your back is bruised from what you carry

(I highly recommend the fic series-- it's truly a literary masterpiece. A+ story.)

I may repaint this at some point since I didn't spend more than an hour or two on this. It was just a warm-up practice piece that got out of hand. (also I drew clothes, hated them, refused to paint them.) I am *trying* to step back into painting without firm lineart but since switching programs I am just... struggling. I can't tell if it's me or the brushes. Both maybe? *sigh*

A tapestry of stars Chapter 22 Apricity He stretched out his arm using the last of his strength, reached for Lavellan’s outstretched hand. He had no right to die beside Lavellan, but if he could at least hold him again... Their fingers touched. This was the furthest he could reach. Felt inspired by this scene from Noverture's beast of a fic series

lover, your back is bruised from what you carry

(actually I felt inspired by a lot of scenes but this one won my attention. I highly recommend the fic series-- it's truly a literary masterpiece. A+ story.)

[noverturemusings]

He is so shaped, I love itttt 💕💕 thank youuuu

@noverturemusings stop writing such good fanfic /threat

everyone stop what you’re doing and go read In the face of your light

[noverturemusings]

Apologies for my terrible memory, but what happened to Connor Guerrin in the itfoyl universe?

He’s alive and well. Tabris was able to help him.

Are the recipes in the story based on real-life dishes? If yes, which ones?

I’m looking for new things to cook, especially recipes that show up in my favorite fanfics, so I can re-read those chapters and actually eat what’s described ♡ ♡

Most of them are inspired by various dishes with a fantasy spin and aren’t exact one to ones! But! The prear’umarem dish Lavellan cooked in 3pc was loosely inspired by thai yellow curry in terms of colour but the meat and the vegetables thrown in are entirely different.

One of the real life dishes (I’m not sure how caught up you are so I’ll keep it vague) is mentioned in a later 3pc chapter. It’s just chicken biryani.

In tapestry of stars, during the festival for the twins, there were mentions of various street foods. The intestine skewers is based off a Filipino street food called isaw.

*covered in blood* I'm literally fine guys. im still funny. Would you like to hear a joke Im going to tell you a joke

[noverturemusings]

(itfoyl)

Are there cats in Skyhold? And if there are, whose company do they enjoy the most?

I assume so! Because we have that little ambient banter at Skyhold about Cole making the cook's cat play to put her in a good mood and stop her from getting grumpy at the kitchenhands. I can def see a good couple of cats being around.

I want to say they enjoy Cole's company the most but that can also go the other way with them being put off by his spirit-ness. But knocking spirits out of the running, I think they'd enjoy being around Varric. Just imagining a few cats napping around him while he pens his next magnum opus (i.e. another chapter to embarrass Cassandra with).

I can also see them enjoying being around Solas. Despite his canine adjacency haha.

[noverturemusings]

I lovingly blame you for my love for Dirthamen. It's terrible. I look for any and every scrap of info about him anywhere I can. That lore drop in Veilguard FED me. And gave me hope.

For real tho. Join the club 😭

[noverturemusings]

Weird question from late 2024: In your AU, are Dirthamen and Falon’Din the only Evanuris with purple eyes?

Yep. More violet than purple but yeah

[noverturemusings]

Currently recovering from top surgery this afternoon and one of the first things I did while chilling after waking up was continuing my ITFOYL reread. I HAVE MY PRIORITIES

Omg!! Congrats!! I hope it serves as a good recovery companion

[noverturemusings]

Hi, back again to say; now i dont know what else to read LMAO youve ruined solas/m!inquisitor fics for me /positive

Sorry! 😂😂 I'd offer some fic recs but unfortunately, I haven't had time to read fics in general lately. I'm sure others have compiled a list though!

[noverturemusings]

Ao3 is down at the moment or sumn (11.05pm 24/11/24 at the time of writing this) so youre getting my congratulations and my ramblings here instead!

I *inhaled* itfoyl. Consumed it. Binged it. Whatever it. Its so good, better than good, amazing, inspirational, it feels like its own book, novel, story, disclaimers of copyrights be damned (joking!). The writing, the characterisation, THE LORE, the SAD ELVES!!!

Im so glad you made them a sammich! I need more tol brioche elves and their lavellan jam.

Patiently looking forward to more of contellations! Rooting for you and your writing!

P.s. Also, really need more of Anaris, what kind of deplorable misguided fondness lies (heh, geddit?) within this monster?

Thank you so much <33 I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!

And yes, I have Plans (Solas voice) for Anaris. All the plans. I'm very excited to dive into it. There'll be more of him, not to worry at all.
