Note

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (if you’d like). Spread the self-love ♥️

Ohhh thank you for asking! 🥰

In no particular order (I love all my children):

Kiss Me Moonstruck

This Satinalia romantic comedy is set during Dragon Age 2, Act 2. Old friends Leandra Hawke and Alsatia Trevelyan have conspired to fix up their incorrigible children Garrett and Rose. 100% inspired by the madcap romantic comedies of my youth in the 90s and writers like Stella Gibbons and P.G. Wodehouse smashed up with a little Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, this fic is perhaps most representative of my life's work as a writer 😂 Shamelessly romantic, funny, a little bit ridiculous and underpinned by the madness and angst that is Dragon Age 2/ Kirkwall. I'm really super proud of this one.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Thirst

Mature, WC 6450, Angst and Whump | Cullen POV

This is a big brained companion fic to my DA:I long fic In the Shattering of Things in Cullen's POV (though it pretty much stands on its own). He's on the outs with his love interest Rose Trevelyan, he's struggling to feel like he belongs in the position of Commander and there are a bunch of extra delicious flashbacks to Dragon Age 2 featuring Samson and Meredith. Dragon Age 2 Cullen has always fascinated me because you really only get to see his growth if you make certain choices and pay close attention. This fic is my exploration of his growth, particularly his relationship to The Order as the situation in Kirkwall deteriorates and how that relates to his current predicament in Inquisition. I am also extremely proud of this fic! (I will note that it is *not* a deep exploration of his relationship to mages, so please don't go in expecting that).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Mature, WC 7,380, Angst & Action, Multiple POV

Yet another companion fic to my DA:I long fic In the Shattering of Things but I think it would be an interesting read without the greater context. The premise is that Inquisitor Rose Trevelyan has disappeared in the midst of the Peace Talks Gala at the Winter Palace and follows the POVs of Cullen, Garrett Hawke, Josephine, Vivienne and Orlesian Bard Fidencio Frye (my friend @monocytogenes's OC) as they learn she's missing and try to find her. This is a very non-canonical take on WEWH. It was an incredible challenge to write and i think I did a bang up job capturing the tension and stakes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Boy Who Talked too Much

Explicit, WC 2373, Fluff Smut, Alistair POV

This is one of my older fics, born of a writing prompt for Dragon Age Drunk Writing Circle. Mostly I was having a wonderful time getting into Alistair's head as he experiences a bit of a sexual awakening with a bold, but also inexperienced Elissa Cousland. In addition to feeling that I captured Alistair really well, I also think I nailed the kind of fumbly, youthful awkwardness that is mutual first times. It's a bit smutty but it's also just really sweet and funny.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Shattering of Things,

I would be remiss if I did not recommend my Inquisition long fic (which I'm still working on-- currently approaching Here Lies the Abyss). It's also a little bit complicated because my writing talent has come *a long way* since I began the fic in January '23. It basically begs the question: what if the Inquisitor is in over her head and what's it like trying to navigate falling in (and out of) love when the world is falling apart. It's got it all: romance, humor, heartbreak, ridiculously high stakes, a delicious but grown-up love triangle and a protagonist you can root for that is imperfect but doing her bloody best. When it's all done, this fic will probably be my greatest achievement and I will lie on the floor crying.

a literate and descriptive oc for the dragon age franchise ALEXANDER COUSLAND . 18+ only // minors dni / written by tay.

BIOGRAPHY

The younger brother of Bryce Cousland, Alexander ( who goes by Alex to family & friends had an adventuring spirit, and while Bryce settled into his future life as future Teryn, Alex had different goals, he had no desire for political power and governing, and thus he kept his mind solely on training with the blade until eventually he left home to explore Ferelden. Over the years he became quite the known mercenary, a sellsword by nature, though he holds himself to a strict honorable code, never harm an innocent. Some might go out of their way to call him a less fancy assassin, but Alex would be the first to disagree with this.

Returning home sparingly over the years, Alex relished in visiting his brother and his family, enjoying being a fun yet loving Uncle who, while enjoyed these visits, never missed life within the confines of the castle. During the blight, Alex is settled in Redcliffe, offering his services to the demon problem they were facing when the Hero of Ferelden walked into town. Whether the Warden is his nephew/niece or not, Alex will offer his services to them after the battle and become a companion, especially after learning of the tragedy that befell his family.

( DA2, DAI and DATV verses pending! )

I love writing ships, romance is one of my favorite things to write, but I will not enforce it, nor is it the only thing I will write. I don't force ship, and I appreciate if you do the same. That being said, if you ask, it's more than likely I'll say yes, we just need chemistry in our writing.

You must be over eighteen to write things of a NSFW-rated nature. There are no exceptions to this rule. I will unfollow you if I find out you lied about your age. Period. This is not a game.

My ask box is always open, and if you ever have a comment or a concern, please feel free to write me! Anonymous hate will be deleted and not published — I don’t feed trolls.

Hate of any kind will absolutely not be tolerated on this blog. If I see someone who is a friend of mine, or a mutual player, getting hate, I will stand up and defend them. If I find out you, as a follower, have been spreading hate — whether it be on your personal or your RP blog, you will be unfollowed. I have a zero tolerance policy.

Things are tagged, NSFW things are always tagged as #nsft

I’m happy to write with multiple versions of the same character.

I'm not interested in writing on discord.

15 Lines Tag

Tagged by @illusivesoul Thank you kindly as always, friend! :)

Tagging: @blackjackkent, @writer86, @this-is-something-idk-what, @jellydishes (I'm tagging you specifically because I think you might like this very small crumb I have to offer regarding Bethany and Niamh. 👉👈) As always, no pressure if you don't want to participate!

Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

---

Pairing: Bethany Hawke/Niamh Cousland

Rating: Teen

AU: The Ruin of Your Broken Home

((So let me just preface this by saying this little snippet is from an AU I haven't posted yet; thus, you won't see it on my WIP Masterlist. I have a couple more scenes to write before I feel comfortable sharing it. Essentially, one of my followers asked me ages ago about what a DA2 AU would look like if Niamh had been a part of Hawke's little crew of misfits and who she'd likely romance if she thought she'd never return to Ferelden again.))

---

“So you aren’t a dangerous apostate then.”

Bethany winced at the bluntness of the statement, but she also didn’t miss how those wintry-grey eyes seemed to chill themselves for a brief moment as Niamh regarded Aveline over the rim of her mug.

“Oh? Did I say that?”

“You’re not denying it.”

“You do realize I provided aid earlier against the Coterie when I stood nothing to gain from it, yes? I invited you into my home, and I was hospitable enough to offer you tea even before hearing why you wished to seek me out to begin with. As the situation stands, I can only see that I’m surrounded within enclosed quarters with a group that far outnumbers me and are now the only obstacle between me and the exit. Tell me: who is the more dangerous party here?”

“Oh, for Maker’s sake, no wonder you and your Guard never get any results if this is the way you’re constantly going about things!” Bethany snapped out, and the sharpness of her rebuke was enough to draw both her siblings’ eyes upon her with surprise. Even Niamh’s brows had raised somewhat with her tone, but Bethany was far too tired to feel even the slightest bit embarrassed over her outburst.

“My point is that baseless accusations are dangerous,” Niamh continued on, voice flat as she regarded Aveline. “Given your position—” Keen eyes flickered to the insignia on the other woman’s breastplate. “—one would think you of all people would know the merit of gathering proper evidence before casting judgment. I was willing to hear what you all wanted of me based on your initial friendship with Merrill, but if you’ve already decided who I am based on the very bare minimum of interaction with me, then we’ve nothing to discuss as far as I’m concerned.”

I love thinking about my Cousland Eden so much. About her and Alistair. King and Queen of Ferelden. It really sucks they are apart. I just hope she finds the cure because if she doesn’t? All that time they could’ve been together before their calling was just wasted. That would kill me.

I know they write each other often. I know Eden often asks for forgiveness, for leaving him alone doing something he didn’t want to do. She said they would do it together and then she just left. She probably thinks that curing them will make up for all of it..

There’s also the dark ritual.. it genuinely drives me insane. Eden pleaded with him to do it because she didn’t want him to die but she didn’t want to die either. She wanted him, the getting married and having kids life just like her parents..

You know, I can’t imagine any my ocs wanting/having children but Eden is the only one I know would have love to have them, specially with Alistair. And it sucks that they can’t have them together. They would have been excellent parents..

I think that I’m more upset about making Alistair have a bastard child than I am about making him king.. and Eden would probably feel guilty about that too… I still don’t know how Alistair feels about it. I know he forgives her but I also know they have fought about it.

The being king is hard but he is probably a fine at it. He wishes he was with her of course, he is lonely and misses her. He probably would have rather they live out their lives and wait for their calling together instead of her leaving to find the cure.

I have this headcanon that he desperately tries to make her stay when she tells him she is leaving but she insists she’s doing it for them. They fight, he tells her he is forgiven, that she doesn’t have to go, but she does. She waits for him at the gates to say goodbye but he doesn’t go. So she leaves. She first stops at the Cousland castle to say goodbye to her brother and spends the night there. A few hours after Eden leaves, Alistair regrets not saying goodbye to her and rushes to castle Cousland to see her. He sobs when he sees her and says he doesn’t want her to go.

The reunion is going to be bitter sweet but I will love it.

weird fun facts about you oc(s)

Rules: share some fun facts about your oc(s). They don't have to be relevant to their story, perhaps even better if they aren't. The weirdest ones are the best!

Tagged by @ndostairlyrium - Thank you so, so much!! <3 I love talking about my kids :D

She can't cook for life. Morrigan and Alistair tried their best to teach her the basics... but she just can't,

She steals as a hobby. When she was younger, she stole from her family and staff around the Cousland's castle, only to give it back later and watch their bafflement as they realized something of theirs was missing. It became a bad habit. She gives back the stuff she stole (usually),

She loves being in control and making tough calls, even if they're stressing her out. She was raised as a ruler and she enjoys leading,

She loves politics and scheming. She finds it fascinating and she wants to find out more about people, their motives - it's the game, and she thrives in it,

She loves to draw; her sketchbook is filled with sketches of her friends and gryffins (there's a lot of sketches of gryffins and Alistair with hearts around them).

Her magic abilities showed up when she was around 5 years old, scaring the shit out of pregnant Leandra who went into labor shortly after. Hawke froze Malcolm's hands as he tried to tickle her,

She hates being alone. She needs someone at close proximity at all times; the more the merrier! After all, she need an audience for all the jokes she cracks (lmao),

Often she casually strolls into Anders' clinic to watch him work - healing magic is not her forte, and she finds it mesmerizing how Anders wields it,

She can sing - she loves singing. She used to sing lullabies for the twins when they were younger,

She doesn't really sleep at night, but she often takes naps. She can nap anywhere, there's no position that's uncomfortable for a nap. She especially enjoys those naps when the sun is shining right at her, warming her up. Anders says it reminds him of a cat.

In the Ostwick Circle, she and her friends created a competition of 'who's going to make the funniest prank on the Templars.' It went on for years, but finally, she was declared the winner when, at her Harrowing, she decided to prank them with a bunny pretending to be a demon of greed,

Due to her rebellious nature, she often wasn't allowed to leave the Tower. Thanks to that, she's quite pale. After leading the Inquisition, she got sunburned really bad, lol

Her attitude is surprisingly very un-ladylike - despite being a Trevelyan. This was something Josephine was concerned about when they went to Halamshiral, but Evelyn put on such a good mask - remembering all those talks she had with her mother and all the books she read about Orlesian customs, her behavior was perfect,

She's got a big sweet tooth. She loves tiny Orlesian desserts, cakes, chocolate, sugar, and fruit. Instead of eating meals, she tends to snack throughout the day, taking a little pouch filled with dried fruit, cheese, bread, and nuts.

Her magic abilities presented when she was 13; she made her fingers sparkle with electricity when one of her cousins stole her piece of cake. Her cousin's hair stood up, and the entire family dinner went silent. Then, chaos erupted.

Codex #5 for Etienne!

5. letters between two of your OC’s companions about them

My Dearest Nightingale,

I hear you’ve taken a little bird under your wing? I’ve half a mind to warn you it doesn’t always work out as well as it did with our pretty crow, but I’m sure you already know that!

Keep me updated on your progress. Ali, Zev, and I have just crossed through an interesting little town in the Free Marches, and I have it on good word that your recent acquisition could prove highly beneficial. Take care to mind your little bird’s wings— to clip them would be a true shame.

Give Josie my love.

Yours,

— Letter believed to be from Jon I Cousland, King of Ferelden and Former Commander of the Grey Wardens, to Divine Victoria I (at the time called Sister Leliana)

———

My Beloved Wolf,

I’ve come to find falconry quite rewarding for both myself and my little bird. He’s proving to be quite the asset among my ravens. It thrills me to know you approve— I must admit that I heard you teasing me in my head as I introduced the Herald to our birdie.

Your advice about clipping did not go unheeded. We have come to find that the little bird makes a fantastic scout. I’ve never known any other bird to fly to the heights that this one does. Our Herald grows more fond of him with each passing day.

Maker, I wish you could see them. They remind me so much of yourself and our little crow that it almost hurts my heart.

You know I wish you nothing but luck in your ventures. Still, I find myself missing the warmth of your arms around me, just as I miss our lovely witch’s hand in mine, and our pretty crow’s song in my ears. And yes, Ali, you incessant nosey fucker, I miss you as well.

I love you all so much.

I pray the Maker guides your hands and blades. When the time is right, I pray he guides you back to me.

Josie sends her warmest regards.

Yours,

— Letter believed to be from Divine Victoria I to Jon I Cousland
