Silk and Silverite, the complete series (so far), by Lady Stéphanie Toutlemonde-Baliverne of Val Royeaux

in-fiction Dragon Age fiction, because why not

Silk and Silverite

Featuring no subtitle, the book was meant to be a one-off, but upon the wildly positive reception (five scarves fluttered in shock out of five!), the work was expanded into a series.

This first volume, fittingly to the title, is a fairly basic story about a whirlwind romance between a wealthy surface dwarf merchant-woman with a price on her life, and a beautiful bard (known only as "Lady Cinquefoil") that mostly follows the conventions of Orlesian bardic romances, and shocks mainly with just how explicit it is for its genre.

It's rumored to have been inspired by the author's own scandalous affair, however this is mostly due to the staggering amount of very specific details pictured, as there is next to nothing known about the secretive authoress.

Vol.02.: Lustrous Cotton

Following one of the secondary protagonists of the original Silk and Silverite, Lustrous Cotton is about a meek, scholarly mage in 9:41, now a rebel against his will, trying to make his way across the Fereldan countryside with a hired bodyguard: a tortured and complex woman, a deserter of the Templar order, who is trying to eke out a living by taking people across the wartorn Hinterlands for coin. The two, of course, fall into mad love roughly 80 pages in, and then proceed to make (both figuratively and literally explosive) love in tents and inns all over the country, before fleeing both the war and their Templar pursuers towards the Tevinter Imperium.

While controversial in its choice of protagonists, the book is commended often on its creative yet heavily eroticized use of magic, and its accuracy in depicting the difficulties of stripping off armor while in the ~throes of passion~.

Vol.03.: Vyrantium Samite

As a hard pivot from the previous two books' southern settings, the third installment of the series continues in Tevinter, and takes the reader to a fictional version of the underbelly of the upper echelons of Imperial society, featuring the entanglement of a handsome magister and an equally handsome Orlesian ex-chevalier in the heart of Minrathous. It's easily the most inaccurate to its setting of all the books, and it sparked quite a bit of controversy both with its generous blasphemies, and by coming out in the same year as Lord Gallanter Pismire's "The Magister’s Temptation", and Lord Gustave Thibault Beaumarchais’ "Champions of the Lust - To Break an Imperial Stallion", which both feature some eerily similar characters.

This, of course, fizzled out quickly, as it soon became obvious that these books were not all copies of each other, but were merely inspired by the exact same people (with Pismire and Beumarchais drawing on the Inquisitor's figure far less subtly), and Vyrantium Samite at least never used expressions like "quivering flesh-cavern", or "pulsing man-meat". (Editions after the first one feature a mysterious endorsement on the back cover signed only as "R.": "To draw from life with such boldness is a thing both wonderful, and mildly terrifying.")

Vol.04: Fade-touched Velvet

Any semblance of and overarching plot or an interconnection that the previous installments would have introduced is chucked straight out the window, as this installment is written from the perspective of Juliette, a cheeky apprentice in the newly formed College of Enchanters, and recounts her taboo romance with an enchanting desire demon seeking to possess her. (Which explains why exactly the titular "velvet" is "fade-touched".)

The demon's shapeshifting abilities are, of course, explored in extreme depth, touching on yet more Andrastian themes of blasphemy and desire that leave the average reader feeling both flustered and vaguely guilty, and the book ends with a series-atypical cliffhanger that had readers writing letter after disgruntled letter to the Randy Dowager in such numbers, that Her Ladyship had to put out a notice that she will simply stop reviewing the series if people don't stop bugging her about it. (Five scarves fluttered in shock out of five, of course.)

Vol.05.: Rough Hide

The author seems to dial the oddities back in with this installment, as it features, once more, a fairly common Orlesian plot structure and a conventional depiction of a fictional Grey Warden, a gruff and determined dwarf woman with a heart of gold, and her partner, a plucky, yet sweet recruit- a thief both petty and pretty, who chose to join the Order as an alternative to either a hanging, or a Chantry cloister.

This one, though still explicit, is cited as by far the most loving, most romantic book in the series, as the "burn" seems slowest in this one, and the characters' palpable bond tugs at the heartstrings. The two often meditate on mortality, love, and loss- mostly after bouts in the bedroll that definitely fit the title.

The dedication of this book raises eyebrows, as it is merely "Thinking Always of You".

Vol.06: TBA

The newest installment was set to be released 9:53 Dragon, but, well... it wasn't, for obvious reasons.

Rumor has it, the title was to be Paragon's Luster, and it intended to delve quite deep into Orzammar's caste politics and royalty (again, both figuratively and literally), but it'll understandably take a few years to actually be released, if it ever will be.

[zundely]

Aeducan fam gather- so taking into account what Gorim says about thr Proving's in f!Aeducan's honor being made with hope some noble will sweep her of her feet... how high were the chances that it was actually Harrowmont and Endrin trying to set her up with one of Harrowmont nephews?

Argument in favor- think how funny it would be if king Endrin was doing all this to make sure his favourite child marries into his best bro's family and it all goes unnoticed while his heir Trian is doing his best to impress one girl and failing miserably.

[heniareth]

It's interesting to note how the Tabris Origin, which involves a wedding, kidnapping and attempted sexual harassment, and fighting your way through an estate full of guards, is the Origin where gender plays a huge role in what story you experience. M!Tabris will always storm the castle coming to the rescue of his cousin and his betrothed, while F!Tabris will always have to fight her way out because the men in her life can't fully protect her (Nelaros dies, Soris literally hands her the sword, Cyrion is powerless to stop the abduction. Okay, this may be a little unfair to Soris who does fight side by side with Tabris and counsels caution the same way regardless of Tabris's gender). I'd go so far as to say that Tabris is the only Origin where the gender of your PC has a definite impact on the story.

TLDR to the rant in the tags: Tabris is constrained on all sides by being an elf, by their gender, in part by their family, and by society at large (both the Alienage and the wider city).

[victorborkowski]

honestly the worst thing abt this tho is that as much as i am attached to that worldstate i KNOW i cannot use it in da4 because ive just. wriggled my claws in so deep and for inqusition especially there is sooo much i've changed bc the writing in inquisition drives me BONKERS. so like. i just know whatever they say in da4 i am probably just inherently going to hate, so i NEED to work on a new worldstate (and i am actively attempting to) but ..... guh. effort.

[nohr-selphias]

Obsessed w the thought of Ri being so floored by the slowness of Zevran vs Gorim. From quickies in shady alleys of orzammar and getting exactly what she wants when she wants it without question to slow massages at camp, having to beg and beg for more, and finding a deep love from introspection mutual understanding.

[redemptior]

“a hundred jewels between teeth” 🔒

Written for amarmeme ( @amarmeme ) for the 2024 Black Emporium Exchange ( @black-emporium-exchange )!

It's funny, but Alistair can picture it, a small pale little Morrigan child with enormous bright eyes and ragged clothing, hiding behind some shrubbery and watching an unfamiliar being of beauty and wealth. It's a shockingly cute image.

Less so, the one that follows it. He can see that one as well.

Get to know each other! FIRSTS AND FAVORITES!

Preferred name:  Tas Preferred pronouns: She/Her Favorite dinosaur: Triceratops What's the coolest rock you own or have seen: The one on my wedding ring (pink sapphire!)

What piece of media was your first experience with Dragon Age?: DA:O! I picked it off my dad's shelf back in 2012 a few months after DA2's release. What was your first Dragon Age game?: DA:O Which is your favorite DA game?: DA:I. It changed the nature of the world in a lot of fun ways and it has my favourite companions (beyond just Solas, although he is #1). What was your first DA book or comic?: The Masked Empire Which is your favorite DA book or comic?:  The Masked Empire. I admittedly haven't read many others, I have The Last Flight which I'm gonna make my way through. I also made it most of the way through Asunder. Who is your favorite DA character?: Solas What was your first ship? Romantic or platonic: Gorim x F!Aeducan What's your "forever" ship? Romantic or platonic: Solas x Iander Lavellan What is your favorite DA-verse creature?: Halla are cute.

What's the best advice you've ever gotten?: Fandom wise: do whatever you want forever. It doesn't matter if a fic like your idea has been written, no one will do it like you do.

Are you comfortable receiving feedback / asks from others as the event goes on and will request on certain days that other people reach out? What are your boundaries? If you're okay with asks/comments, are you okay with them from anyone or followers only?: I don't tend to like unsolicited sexual asks (if that'll even come up) even if it's directed ICly. Other than that, I can't think of anything.

Share a picture of something you're excited about/something that you love if you're comfortable doing so!

I won't post pics b/c spoilers, but I'm super excited to replay the Veilguard with model swaps so I can finally get a Solas/Ian kiss where they're not just kissing each other's foreheads.

Repost, don't reblog. Remember to tag your posts with #DARP Advent 2024 so people can find them later!

Ever wondered how the events in DA:Origins would have gone if all the possible origins characters had survived?

Here you go: Aenor Mahariel's the newest, unwilling Warden recruit. But Natia Brosca, Geralt Amell, Kallian Tabris, Elissa Cousland and Duran Aeducan are all alive and kicking and definetly won't stand aside as the Blight and their enemies destroy Ferelden. Who says that only a Warden can help save the day? Ships: F!CouslandxAlistair, M!AmellxJowan, F!BroscaxLeske, F!TabrisxLeliana Status: COMPLETE. Words:249,713 Chapters:42/42

This is just the first part of a way longer project up to Inquisition where I use multiple origins for Warden, Hawke and Inquisitor, DA2 has already been written in full but not translated yet. I feel like it's important to say that all of this came to life because I couldn't romance Jowan as a Male Amell and I found that so unacceptable I had to start writing my own canon out of spite. Shipping and spite are the backbone of everything I do.

[patissonthepumpkin]

Head empty, thinking about:

- F!Aeducan, who despises her military role and just wants to be a proper lady, but constantly gets dragged into fighting. And then she meets Leliana who completely reshape her perseption of the warrior/lady conflict;

- F!Aeducan, who is too afraid to become a mother and get to attached to the baby, knowing she was raised as a warrior and most likely gonna die in battle and leave her child in a dwarven political meat grinder

- Aeducan, who is too careless and irresponsible (rightfully noted by Trian), and treats war and intrigue as a game, up until the moment he's thrown face first into real fights and real danger and real responsibility after the exile, and slowly toughens up and takes more serious approach to life

- M!Aeducan, who had child with Morrigan and Mardy, and is torn between different responsibilities he has to take, and have to choose one life over the other

- And all the different feelings about brothers, and their father, and their house, and their country middle Aeducan can have

Just... If you didn't get it - I LOVE the potential of noble origin

[vigilskeep]

i bet with certain f!aeducans you could make the entire dao party have beef with gorim saelac to a degree you couldn’t even imagine
