i'm curious how you think simon would go about getting into an official relationship? like maybe the girl is kinda shy or wants to ask if she's the only one or just anything like that? how to get his attention and how to keep him? ♡♡

hmmm i think simon is kind of difficult to get the attention of. he doesnt really consider relationships as a possibility in day to day life. i also dont think he'd date a fellow soldier, i just dont see him as the type to fraternize or let a relationship possibly get in the way of his job.

he's also not really the type to consider dating a civilian. so in order to get his attention, i think the easiest way to go about it is...like...forced proximity.

simon doesnt spend extended time with anyone unless forced to. his job makes him interact with lots of people, naturally. but when hes off duty and home, if he can be alone he will absolutely do everything in his power to stay that way.

i think a good way to get his attention at the start would be just...talking to him. nothing crazy, he will not engage in conversation. but nice greetings and telling him to have a nice day is a good ice breaker -- form a routine with him and make him seek that routine out when he's home.

eventually, he'll start to look forward to your little smile and wave when he sees you. maybe you both go to the same market on the same days? maybe he's your neighbor? who knows! as long as you're someone just...in the outskirts of his life. someone who isn't a threat and someone consistent and kind.

simon is...difficult. he likes routine. he dislikes spontaneity. i think he would prefer someone good, someone who doesn't challenge him or make things needlessly difficult for him. he's dealt with a lot in his life and he deserves to have it easy when given the chance. he values kindness and quiet above all else.

once you have a nice lil simon dangling on ur fish hook, its pretty easy to keep him. his eyes don't wander and theres very, very few people who would bother to try and break down his walls to get him to be with them so it's not like he seeks anyone else out.

all you have to do is be there for him, just keep being the kind thing you are and treat him with the love and respect he needs. dont pick fights and don't try to control him. simon is...a free spirit. he does what he wants, when he wants and he doesn't like a leash on him.

hes not stupid or reckless so you dont have to worry about him doing anything crazy. he would never cheat and wouldn't do anything dangerous to put himself or you in any kind of line of fire.

so to keep him, you just have to go with his flow. be patient and understanding with him and he'll show his appreciation in all the ways he knows how.

he's a gentleman. he's the quiet sort of kind that makes you weak in the knees. he does acts of service bc it makes him feel good to do nice things for you and see a smile on your face.

simon is simultaneously easy and difficult i think!! hard to get, easy to keep!

𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐂 & 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆

      When Nanna drank Avernus’s concoction to unlock the Power of Blood, it had been out of desperation. Even with the blood mage’s aid in the battle, the demon within Sophia Dryden had proven more powerful than they had been expecting, and she had threatened to overwhelm them with the demons from the torn Veil, until Nanna remembered what she had at their disposal and what Avernus’s research had said on it. Both a demon and blighted body - Sophia was more than vulnerable to its power. 

      They had won when she drank the concoction, but to Nanna it had been a pyhrric victory. Something that left a bad taste in her mouth. It took time, a long time, before she was willing to touch on the subject again, much less draw on its power. It drew too close to blood magic and the lingering pain from the fall of the Circle to even think on it without feeling ill; worse still, she could feel what it truly was, the thing it was drawing on as it shifted within her. Not blood. Blight magic. For a long time, even the thought of it still made her feel dirty. It was better forgotten… or so she had thought in the moment. 

      But as time marched on, and she had the opportunity at last to recover from the attack on Amaranthine, the incident with the Architect, even after his ‘death’, had stuck with her. The fact that he had been researching the blight, the calling, kept prodding at her, until the itch in her mind eventually became so bothersome, that she went alone back into the labyrinth beneath the Wending Wood to collect the research that the emissary had left behind. And in pushing back her own unease, something at last occurred to her: If the Architect had such an in-depth understanding on how to spread the taint on such a grand scale… could it be reverse engineered?

      And this is when Nanna formally began her research into curing the Blight.

      It had begun tentatively, secret projects behind locked doors on small, blighted plants or contaminated objects. Over time the size of her subjects grew: patches of earth, ruins in the Blackmarsh, and as a result she began actively contacting Avernus again at Soldier’s Peak, the two working together to expand on one another’s research. The first real, monumental breakthrough had been when she successfully dissipated the taint from tilled dirt, and was able to grow something from it. She had immediately taken this discovery south, and it’s for this reason that southern Ferelden has been able to farm safely again.

      Though she’s made significant progress, Nanna has yet to unlock how to remove Blight or disconnect it fully from biological beings. The best she’s been able to reach currently is preventative measures for those who have yet to contract it through the flowers of the Korcari Wilds. What it has allowed her to do, however, is have some degree of control of the taint in other beings. After the era of Inquisition, she's thrown herself fully back into her work to see how this might be put towards severing that connection to the Blight.

But that does not mean using this has been without consequence, small though it seems to be only at the moment. The more Nanna has used blight magic, the more she’s noticed an uneasy discoloration snaking up her arms, as though stained with ink. As mentioned here, Nanna always wears gloves to cover the uncomfortable sight unless she is well and truly alone or with someone who has her deepest trust. If there are further consequences, they have yet to be seen. But as far as Nanna is concerned, if she is the only one facing the consequences for an experiment that could mean freedom from the taint and the Calling for not only all Grey Wardens, but for anyone threatened by the Blight, she sees no reason why she shouldn’t charge forward.

her repeat of those words has his feeling pure bliss , his mind soaring up in the dark night sky . it drives him to keep going - he's never needed much encouragement to touch a beautiful woman , but star makes him want to do everything he possibly can for her . to her . her ' fuck me ' s make him want to grin , want to bury himself right inside of her and pound into her , begging her to tell him if he's doing it right , if he's doing it the way she wants , the way she imagined . he wants to fuck her so badly that he doesn't know how he'll possibly think of anything else ever again in his life . his brain is shot to pieces .

when she pulls her knees in , it makes nico drive in harder . his fingers keep searching , eyes alternating between watching her , and looking at his fingers inside of her . BOTH ARE BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS . her knees up , spread , help him move further in . his fingers brush against something and he knows he's found it , even before she lets out a cry that confirms as such . one of her hands falls to his forearm , as if both holding him there and pushing him away . nico internally captures this image too , her with her legs up and spread , her face screwed up , words spilling from her lips uncontained . his heart is beating erratically in his chest as he continues his movements at the same pace , not quickening them or deepening them anymore , but letting her take the satisfaction she needs . her hips jut up to his fingers , taking him in , and he wants to see her hips do that on his cock . wants to see her hips chase him , manipulate him into WHICHEVER position she needs . he has tunnel vision on this and only this , his mouth dry as he watches her take it . " you're taking it so well . " he whispers out , almost in amazement , almost completely to HIMSELF . " look at you . " nico can't help the words falling from his own mouth . wishes she could see herself the way he sees her right now . his thumb moves circles over her clit , steady and focused . as she keens harder , he has to work OVERTIME to not completely unravel and fuck her with his fingers harder and harder . instead , he PAINSTAKINGLY keeps it the same for her . his fingers graze against that spot within her that she seems to love and his face watches her react , drinking it in , silently asking her for more . " HERE ? " if nico could tease , if he wasn't so HUNGRY for her , then that's what this would be . he moves his fingers again , sharper . " here ? " he repeats , moving his thumb again in unison with his fingers . her face is beautifully distressed , climbing higher and higher . he wants more . he needs more . he wants to see her cum just like this . wants to hear how exactly she'll sound and then bookmark in it his brain forever .

the way nico says her name makes her feel like she's soaring. her chest opens up in a flourish of bliss, tripping over itself to keep its strained tone of it deep in the depths of her so she can cherish it. doesn't think she'd ever liked something so simple as her name being called. is this what intimacy really is? is this how it's supposed to feel like? like she wants to meld each and every bit of himself into her? like she can give him every single shameful, dirty desire she's ever had of him and have no doubt he'd take it gratefully? doesn't even really mind that he mentions not being able to last long, just wants him in her, wants to feel them connected, but doesn't argue . . .

star can't finish the thought either, because he tucks his two fingers back into her and feels the pleasure burst immediately. is quickly brought back to where she'd been before, with how quickly he's working into her — embarrassingly tight and coiled at the base of her stomach. tries her best to keep her hooded eyes open, just so she can keep looking, can lavish the way he's reacting to her, giving and taking. "fuck me. nico, fuck me." repeats her words from before just as she's instructed. needs no further requests, wants to please him best she can. completely at his will. ( exactly where she wants to be, where she imagined herself to be. ) lets words tumble out of her mouth, normal filter gone for the benefit of their enjoyment. "fuck me however you want. please."

whimpers into flinch when he thumbs against her weeping clit, pulling her knees in, fingers grasping at the sheets ( she's sure they've come mostly loose because of her at this point. ) can feel his fingers searching higher up for that fleshy bit that even she has trouble reaching sometimes, grounds into the motion to help . . . to chase the feeling. mouth agape as he drives into her, only wishes she could see it from his position, wants to see how he's disappearing into her. can't wait for it to be his cock soon. "please, ple- ah!" cries suddenly, grasping at his wrist and forearm with both hands, almost too hard when blunt nails dig into skin. nico's found it, the spot that makes her breath stop and her toes curl. feels her hips go lax but the rest of her tense like a spring, can't remember if she's been this close this fast. ( or even if anyone else has gotten her this far at all. ) "there- fuck . . . there! oh nico-"

🏩 What was my muse’s first time like?

clumsy and awkward, which is to be expected of apprentices trying to figure everything out. Both of them were extremely shy about it, and took a fair bit of fumbling along the way. It wasn't overtly good or bad as far as first times go, but it's a cute memory.

they got lost once and referenced a book in the middle. very normal.
