Bone apple teeth au

After the winter palace fiasco. Josephine again is setting down the inquisition crew for dinner after giving Sera many angry lessons on proper speak that Sera wasn't paying attention to

Josephine- and now what do we say when we are served food?

Sera, who is actually trying hard - Bone a petite!

Fem!adaar, grabbing Sera's hand and giving a little wink- no, that comes after dinner

Sera, completely confused- what? What's after dinner?

A very tired and angry Josephine, grabbing a VERY large goblet and a bottle of wine, muttering to herself, walking away - why do I even try? The whole inquisition would fail with out me. I should just go back home. There has to be easier ambassador jobs then this lot.....

Varric - I think you broke ruffles

[sinsbymanka]

I would like to wholeheartedly recommend all the wonderful gifts I got for @black-emporium-exchange! The following are amazing and I can’t wait to see who made them!

Missives: A VarricTethras/Varric’s Editor Fanfic (Rated T)

This is written as a series of letters between two lovers where Varric is late on his next chapter (again) and his editor will not be flirted out of their irritation. Varric is a charming asshole, his editor is Over It, and the whole idea is so clever and so well executed in less than 500 words that I will never not be impressed by it. 

Proposal: A FemAdaar/Josephine Montilyet Fanart (Rated G) 

I love me some FemAdaar/Josie in the morning. And every day. This is easily my f/f OTP. I love Adaar down on one knee and Josie looks PRECIOUS as she accepts the proposal. Very cute and very sweet.

Pillows: An Iron Bull/Josephine Montilyet Fanart (Rated E)

This may be the most beautiful smutty Josephine art in existence. I love Josie’s curves and chubbiness, her realistic body, her gorgeous features and hair. Plus I love Iron’s Bull’s size in comparison. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much <3 

Curiosity: A Cole/Varric Tethras/FemCadash Fanfic (Rated E) 

Cole interrupts Maria and Varric more than once. The amount of sexy and feels in this fic is ridiculous. Cole’s longing, Varric’s adoration, and the way Maria clearly loves and trusts both of them? Whoever took my Maria to do this with did it PERFECTLY and I’m so happy about it. 

Herding Nugs: A FemAeducan & Bhelen Aeducan & Trian Aeducan Fanfic (Rated G) 

Sereda Aeducan is used to getting what she wants, so she steals one of the army’s deepstalkers. Shenanigans ensue. Baby Aeducans causing chaos before it all goes wrong is SO good and hits me right in the family feels. 

Tongue-Tied: An Iron Bull/Josephine Montilyet Fanfic (Rated E)

Josephine and Bull are having an affair that meets both their needs. I LOVE Josie as low-key freaky and the moment where she uses her safe word here is GORGEOUS and shows so much trust between the two of them. Very good platonic relationship that is smutty and I am here for it. 

Suddenly, Everything: A FemAeducan/Gorim Saelac/Gorim’s Wife Fanfic (Rated E) 

It’s got feels. It’s got pining. It’s got a love triangle solved by polyamory. It’s got respect between two women who both love the same man. It’s got kinky smut. It’s really got everything I could ever want or need. I cannot recommend this enough as a fix it fic for all our Gorim-loving needs.

[incorrect-dragon-age-quotes]

I romanced Zevran with a femCousland in Dao, Anders with Garrett in DA2 and then came DAI, and there I was with my mage femAdaar, I wanted to romance Krem, went sad when it wasn't possible, and then did the Josephine romance. (which was very sweet and cute but still, rip)

nice! and yeah krem would have made a great romance, but bioware really gotta do us like that. i really hope da4 will give us more diverse romances, like a trans romance option would be amazing and we’re still waiting on our lovable dwarf.

Since this has become kind of a center of fanfiction for me, I wanted to mention I do in fact have an Ao3 account and write on there sporadically!  Mostly it’s sporadic one-shots and incomplete, rarely updated Marvel series, but I just finished a near-100 page series of short stories and journals for my DA characters!  Check them out if you feel like it!

[sinsbymanka]

I feel like you're the Varric/Cadash person but I know you've written Varric/Hawke and Varric/Bianca and Varric/Bethany. Ignoring Cadash, which Varric pairing is your favorite?

Oooo.

So I actually just joked that I can ship Varric with just about anyone and it's pretty true. My Varricmance can take many forms.

Although I've written primarily Varric/FemCadash, I actually got on the Varric ship with Varric/FemHawke. There are so many amazing Varric/FemHawke stories and I've devoured all of my favorites multiple times. Eventually in my wanderings I found a Varric/FemCadash story that was short, sweet, and sad. I quickly became obsessed with that idea and read through that tag.

I ran out of road in the Varric/FemCadash tag WAY FASTER than the Varric/FemHawke tag. Last I checked there's 80 something FemCadash/Varric works (30 some are mine) and 600+ in the Varric/FemHawke tag. So I started writing FemCadash/Varric cause it was what I wanted to read and it wasn't there.

In other words:

(I don't remember where I yoinked that from but I didn't make it so someone link me the OP if you know it and I’ll edit this later)

I'm still more delighted with the idea of Varric and a feisty Carta dwarf than anything else (and lowkey thrilled anyone would think I'm the Varric/FemCadash person) but I do love the following Varric ships very much:

Varric/FemHawke - the classic. So many good fics. Something for everyone here. Here are some recs:

Greatly Approved (Rated M) by damalur: This is quite possibly the pinnacle of Varric/FemHawke for me. Varric’s romance book is thinly veiled wish fulfillment of him and Hawke. There’s a book club. Shenanigans ensue. 

Everything, Act 1 (Rated E) by @fasterpuddytat: I actually said after reading this I’d never do a Varric/FemHawke story myself because fasterpuddytat has written it EXACTLY the way I wanted it <3 

Father Figure (Rated E) by Khirsah: This is my absolute favorite Varric/FemHawke smut. Varric and FemHawke have this established system of picking sexy roleplaying games that is sheer perfection. 

Varric/Bianca - another rare pair that usually only shows up in the background. I personally like fics for these two set before Inquisition so I can work them into my personal timeline of my preferred Varricmance. I've honestly only got one rec for someone else here and then I'm going to rec my own story like an asshole.

Bianca’s Song (Rated T) by sugarhihihello: Set before Varric meets Hawke, details the beginning of Varric and Bianca’s affair. Sadly it is unfinished and I haven’t managed to read what is there myself (I’m such a slow reader, RIP me) but this is absolutely lovely. 

Flowers, Lies, and Forgiveness (Rated E): okay this is one of two fics that I wrote for @hollyand-writes but this is my favorite of the two. Set in DA2 sometime in Act 3, Varric makes an unexpected visit to Bianca and throws her life in disarray. This is mostly smut but my favorite parts are actually the beginning and end where I show Bianca’s complicated relationship with Varric and how it intersects with her “real” life (her work and husband). I’ve actually reread this one a few times myself because I enjoyed it and it’s spawned off an outline of my own take on their origin story that I may or may not write someday who knows. 

Varric/FemAdaar - do I only ship Varric in hopeless rare pairs? Maybe. @tuffypelly turned me onto this one while I was writing her a gift. I haven’t read any of the fics I bookmarked for this pair (VERY SLOW READER) but I did write a cute little fic for them called Just a Crush (Rated T) 

Varric/Josephine Montiliyet - another rare pair that was forced upon me and now I must dwell on, this time because of @enigmalea who asked for it as her donation reward when I was doing charity commissions. There are three fics for them and I haven’t read the other two because it looks like it’s a background pairing (but I could be wrong). I can also ship Josie with just about anyone so it’s not shocking this speaks to me on a personal level. Anyway the fic I wrote for it is An Accidental Courtship (Rated T) 

AND MY NEWEST PROBLEM. 

Varric/Solas - don’t @ me. There are seven fics on AO3 for this and @blarfkey keeps recommending this one:

too many legs under the table (Not Rated) by clandestineclairvoyant: Solas loses a bet and has to kiss everyone apparently and tbh I’m down for this even though I haven’t started reading it yet. 

I also made Solas and Varric kiss in Ink and Other Stains on a Page which I published yesterday. It’s Rated E and I’ve got a FemCadash in the middle. 

There are lots of Varric/Cassandra works that just aren’t for me but are wonderful! @sunspott, @jarakrisafis, and @ziskandra all wrote amazing fics lately featuring them and I know I read two/three but I can’t remember which two I read so my bad. I’m recc’ing them all anyway. They were, hilariously, all gifts for @enigmalea who was well and truly pegged by them. 

yes they’re pegging fics.

Enjoy the Varric Tethras recs!
