KINKTOBER ACT I, ethan landry x fem!reader

summary: 3.1k

“Your fucking muse? You ask. You shove the top photo directly in his face. It’s a picture of you in your underwear as seen through your bedroom window, hands in the process of unhooking your bra.

“What can I say, baby. I told you I’d thought about this for a long time.”

or the one where ethan saves you from a creep after you lock yourself out of your dorm. or so you think.

warnings: not beta’d, smut, stalking, unprotected sex, dub-con, unsolicited pictures

masterlist | taglist | kinktober

Ethan hadn’t noticed you. At first. You’d had at least one class together every semester since freshman year, being in the same major and all, and yet it's taken him until now to take note of you. True, crude, unfiltered, awareness.

Sure, he’d known about you, the same way he knew about all the other girls on campus. He could match a face to a name and hold a casual conversation with you without feeling the need to ask the same three questions that always seem to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue.

But now. Now, he knows you. He knows how you shift in your seat when you get called on to answer a question, despite the fact that you’d raised your hand in the first place, the lavender and mint of your shampoo that he could easily catch a whiff of if he leaned forward in his seat just ever so slightly, the way your skin prickles with goosebumps when you change into your pajamas after a shower–you should really learn to close your blinds, living on the second floor of your dorm complex and all.

Your front door clicks shut before you think to check your pockets for your ID.

“Shit,” you mumble as you jiggle the locked door handle. The only time you ever took it out of the pocket in your phone case was when you were trying to order something from the bookstore online and needed your student ID number, and, of course, you’d forgotten to stuff it back into the damn thing when you’d finished.

“Locked out?” says a barely cognisant male voice from behind you.

“Sorry?” you spit, spinning around in a huff in the wake of your disappointment.

“Did you lock yourself out?” he asks again with a stifled laugh under his tone. You barely recognize the boy, only having stumbled past him once or twice in your haste to get back to your dorm to study. Figures that he’d end up being just across the hall from you. And much cuter up close.

“Yeah, yeah,” you sputter, your immediate anger diffusing into slight annoyance. “Thought my ID was in my wallet, and as soon as I went to double check… you know.”

“Oh, yeah. Sucks when that happens,” he says. “‘S your roommate out?”

The hair on the back of your neck stands up and you have to remind yourself he’s just being polite.

“She’s got class,” you swallow. He nods. You feel the need to elaborate. “O Chem.”

“You’ve got yourself a smarty pants on your hands, huh.” He steps closer and your breath hitches at the back of your throat. “Bet you’re smarter though.”

His mouth quirks as he boxes you in, back nearly pressed to the door of your room. “Oh, uh,” a dry chuckle. “I don’t know about that, she’s a pharmacy major and everything and all I do all day is learn about finances and the economy, so.”

Your neighbor had lost his sweet-boy charm in the few feet he’d breached, his jaw sharper and eyes darker in the fluorescence.

“I’ve really gotta get going-”

“Without your key?”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m meeting someone just downstairs and I can always just text my roommate to let me in later-” he cuts you off again.

“I’m sure they can wait for a couple minutes,” he says. His aftershave burns your nostrils.

“Look, I’m already running late-”

A voice you don’t recognize calls your name from down the hall. Your head snaps, alerted to the sound. Squinting your eyes, you try to identify your anonymous hero.

“Hey,” the curly haired boy says as he approaches the two of you. “Are you ready to go yet? I tried texting when I got here, but I never got a response.”

“This is the friend you were waiting on?” the blond guy asks. He pulls his shoulders back, gaining back the inch he’d lost when he’d cornered you in.

“Ethan,” the new boy sticks his hand out to shake the other guy’s hand, only to be met with a scoff as he shoves his hands into his pockets.

“Didn’t mention you were meeting up with your boyfriend,” he sneers.

“First date,” you choke out with a dry throat, hoping that the notion of another guy in the picture would get him to leave you alone, and hating the fact that it was probably going to work. Ethan slides closer to you and you can feel your hands start to shake as the guy shakes his head in disappointment.

“Whatever, man,” he says. He turns and scans into his room, leaving you to exhale a breath you’d been holding in tight.

“He was interesting,” Ethan says, curls bouncing as spins to face you.

Humming, you draw your lips together in a tight line. You watch as he shifts his weight from one foot to the other as you thumb the wallet on the back of your phone case, subconsciously counting the cards there only to remember why you’d been stuck out in the hall in the first place.

“Do you have somewhere to be?” he asks.

“Well,” you start. “I was gonna go get some dinner, but with my ID being held hostage in my room…”

Ethan clears his throat before saying, “I, uh- I live on the next floor up if you wanted to hang out in my room until your roommate gets back.”

You’d think after the last guy had tried getting you into his place.

“Yeah, you know what, sure. That’d be nice,” you shrug, offering him a tight lipped smile before he led you toward the open spiral stairwell in the complex that led to all of the floors. As the two of you make your short journey up the flight of stairs, Ethan can’t help but to ramble on about how he’d stumbled upon your predicament for the four minutes it takes to climb the stairs.

“I wasn’t eavesdropping, swear to god, but he was just being so creepy, you know. I could hear him growling from the stairs,” he says once you reach the third floor.

“No, I’m totally glad you were eavesdropping,” you laugh. Ethan holds his phone up to the door, unlocking it with the ID shoved into his wallet before holding it open for you to enter before him.

“Chad’s at the Pike party right now, so make yourself comfortable wherever,” he says as he shrugs his zip-up off to toss over his desk chair leaving him in a black t-shirt hugging his biceps in a way that has you swallowing saliva.

“Chad?” you ask.

“My roommate.”

“Ah,” you hum, settling yourself in the middle of the room before Ethan pipes up again.

“The left bed’s mine if you want to sit,” he offers. “Do you want something to drink?”

He’s got a plaid bedspread and probably navy sheets, but you climb up to sit on it nonetheless.

“Sure, what you got?”

He lists off the few sodas they have, the case of Busch, and the single already opened bottle of water that’d been in there since they’d moved in.

“I’ve got a case of seltzer in the fridge under my bed, too, if you want that,” he winces at his options.

It’s a Friday night, what have you got to lose. “I’ll take a seltzer.”

You try to ignore the way the hair on the back of your neck stands up as he moves closer, kneeling beside the bed to dig in the mini fridge stashed there. He comes back up with two cans in hand, extending one out for you to take from him. The can seems to condensate in the heat of your hand as soon as you grab it.

Before you have a chance to pop the tab, Ethan climbs in beside you leaving a little less than a foot of distance between the two of you despite his twin being an XL. His knee bends until it knocks against yours with a soft sorry mumbled out but no attempt to move it. He opens his drink and haphazardly taps the top of it against your own unopened can with a, “Cheers.”

“To?”

“Not being around that creep anymore?” he offers.

Nodding, you open the can and tap it back against his, “Fucking cheers.”

Taking a sip, you wince. Your body had not been prepared for alcohol, and whatever seltzer he had sure tasted like a hell of a lot of it. It’s quiet for a while, the start of various questions and conversations settling on the tip of your tongue as try to quell the awkward silence that’s overtaken you. Ethan’s familiar in a way you’re not entirely sure how to grasp. Something about his presence has the back of your brain buzzing. When the can in your hand is nearly empty, you manage to get words out of your mouth.

“Thanks for the help and everything, and really I mean, thank you, but how the fuck do you know me?” you finally settle on. “I mean you knew my name before you even came over and I just… you know?”

“We have stats together,” he says, stuttering and quirking the end of the statement into more a question than a declaration. Your brain seems to stutter for a second, trying and failing to place him. Until.

“Right! Right, oh my god! You’re the cute guy that sits behind me,” you say seconds before slapping a hand over your mouth.

“Cute?” he asks.

“Unfortunately, very.”

“What’s so unfortunate about my cuteness?” His eyes grow hazier, more lidded. He shifts closer forcing your breath to hitch in the back of your throat. Tipping back the last of your drink, you crush the can out of habit and set it onto his nightstand. The already small counter space is cluttered with various trinkets and electronics before you can find a space to set your drink down. The polaroid camera catches your eye.

“You have a polaroid?” you ask, leaning over further to snatch it off the edge and hold it up to your eye. He offers you a short hum in response. “What do you take pictures of?”

“I’ve got a specific muse,” he replies.

“Care to share?” you ask as you lower the camera from your face only to find him much closer than you expected him to be. Closer than he had been just a moment ago, close enough to smell the cologne stuck to his shirt and see the faded pink of a scar against his jaw. He shakes his head slowly as he removes the camera from your limp fingers and places it back on the nightstand, tossing his own empty can onto the floor beside the bed. The way he leans forward has you leaning back. He leads you to drop your head back onto his pillow and your legs shift until you’re entirely situated beneath him. There’s still space between you, a couple inches at best, as his hands find solace beside your shoulders.

“You are so beautiful,” he whispers and you feel your face heat up in response.

“Thank you,” you reply, tongue dry. What was in the air tonight? You’d just been relieved from one guy trying to drag you into his bed only to be pushed into another. Still, with the way your heart was racing, you weren’t sure this situation was entirely the same.

“You’re welcome,” he sighs. You can feel the way his hand twitches and flexes at your side.

You’re not sure who makes the first move after that. One moment you’re laying there, noses nearly touching as his breath fans over your face, and the next his lips are on yours and his tongue is in your mouth. The hand that had been fluttering at your side now pressed hard into your waist, thumb pushing up the fabric of your top until it met bare skin.

His name is hazy in your head. You barely conjure it up, having to filter through a couple variations of Edward and Eric and Elliot before you manage out a weak gasp of, “Ethan” against his lips.

His hand continues to push up until your shirt has been bunched up at your chest. He pulled back just enough to be able to look at his handiwork. Your heaved as the edges of his fingers worked up under the wire of your bra. The chill of his hand left goosebumps in its wake.

Everything feels like it’s moving in slow motion as he lifts you just enough to get your shirt up over your head and to unclasp the back of your bra, leaving you bare beneath him. Not for long, though, as he sits up fully and reaches up to tug his own shirt over his head seconds after he’s got yours tossed down to the floor.

“God, you have no idea how much I’ve thought about this,” he groans, palms flat against your ribs.

“You think about me?” you ask, head quirked to the side as you try not to trace his abs with your tongue. Who knew the cute nerd in your stats class had all of this going on for him.

“All the fucking time,” he says. It’s a comment that should have you running for the hills, logically, coming from a guy you barely know. A guy you don’t know. But he’s already got you half-dressed and in his bed and you can’t bring yourself to pull away.

You hook your fingers into the hem of his sweats only for him to cover them with his own as you tug them down his legs. You do your best not to gape at the size of him. God, you think, is there any part of him you don’t want to lick? It takes him a second of shuffling and kicking, but as soon as his pants hit the floor his hands are back on you.

“Condom?” you gasp. His right hand trails down your chest, your stomach, and you think he’s going to stop at the band of your leggings, but it keeps going until you can feel him cupping against your clothed pussy. He nods absentmindedly. Your hips jump as soon as his thumb presses into your clit. Even with the dull pressure, it’s enough to send a shiver up your spine.

“Condom, Ethan, please,” you whine.

“Fuck,” he says as he pulls himself from his daze. “You don’t want me to…”

“No, please,” you whimper. “Want you.”

He throws open the drawer in his nightstand, leaving the contents open as he grabs an unopened box. The box tears–practically in half–and the three rolls land on your stomach.

“Do you want me to get that for you?” you ask with a giggle.

“No, fuck, no. I got it,” he grumbles, tearing a single condom off and pushing the rest onto the pile of clothes you’d conjured together.

“You sure?” His hands are shaking as he finally rips open the package, but they seem to steady once he’s got it rolled down onto his cock.

As soon as he’s got it on, though, he’s ripping your leggings down your legs. His thumb finds your clit again, barely ghosting over it in slow, tight circles as his free hand lines his dick up with your slit.

“Christ, you’re tight,” he groans, just barely notching the head. He pushes in slowly, jaw clenched, head dropped against your shoulder until he’s bottomed out. You nearly sob when you feel his pelvis press against yours. You don’t think you’ve ever felt this full in your life. You’re a little surprised he hadn’t ripped you in half, if you’re being honest with yourself.

He bites down on your shoulder as you feel his hips begin to pull back.

“You’re so fucking beautiful, baby, fuck,” he says. Where his thumb had stalled movement–not that you’d been able to really notice–it picks back up again, harder this time. Your eyes roll back in your head as Ethan’s mumblings pick up. So pretty, so perfect, better than I had imagined.

He’s already pulsing inside of you, twitching against your walls as he begins to pick up speed. His teeth nip at the sides of your neck, likely leaving marks you’ll have a hell of a time explaining to your roommate later, and his tongue laves at your pulse point.

Heat begins to build in your belly. It’s faster than you expected, a symptom of the alcohol, you think.

“Ethan,” you whimper.

“Yeah, baby?” he asks, eyes screwed tight as his pace begins to stutter.

“I’m so close.”

“Already? ‘Ve just started with you,” he sighs as if he wasn’t about to break skin on your neck.

“Please, please, I’m so close,” you beg.

“Oh, god,” he seethes. “I’m gonna cum.”

You bring a hand up to brush his curls away from his forehead and a bead of sweat drips down the side of his face.

“I want you to cum first,” he says. “Before I- before I do.”

With the way he’s working, you don’t think you’ve got much of a choice. Nodding, you bring your hand down to rest at the back of his neck, tugging his face down so that your lips met. You don’t even have time to warn him before you’re clamping down on him, pussy fluttering as your orgasm washes over you and leaves you hazy. Ethan’s hips stall at one final push in and you can feel the heat of his cum through the latex.

He pulls back, pressing one brief final peck to your lips before he leans back enough to remove his softening cock from you, the both of you wincing as he does so. He mumbles a soft, “I know” as he goes, rolling the condom off and tying the end to toss it in the trashcan beside the nightstand.

With an elongated sigh, he drops himself onto the bed beside you leaving you to shiver in the new chill hitting your bare skin.

You’re not even trying to snoop as you look around at his nightstand, eyes naturally gliding over the still open drawer of junk when the stack of pictures shoved in the corner catch your eye. It takes a second to really see what it is as the polaroids are covered in a thick translucent goop, but you can’t help but pick them up when it clicks in your brain.

“What the fuck are these?” you gasp, holding them up enough for Ethan to look at them.

“What?” he asks, still loopy from his orgasm.

“Your fucking muse? You ask. You shove the top photo directly in his face. It’s a picture of you in your underwear as seen through your bedroom window, hands in the process of unhooking your bra.

“What can I say, baby. I told you I’d thought about this for a long time.”

Some general reactions to Veilguard so far! Under the cut in case of spoilers <3

So far I’ve gotten Neve, Harding, Bellara, and Lucanis and I am so enamored with each one of them. Jae (my rook) is basically co-parenting baby Harding and Bellara with Neve (which is funny because iirc everyone is basically 30-35 out of this group). Lucanis just got here and Jae does NOT know what to think of him

I, however, love him

The scenery is GORGEOUS. I’ve spent hours exploring Arlathan Forest just getting a bunch of side content done. It’s so eerie and beautiful at the same time to me

I’m also obsessed with looking at all the details in the Lighthouse. The DAI callbacks, the codexes, it’s all so good

I’ve played two solas memories and OH MY GOD FELASSAN. I fell in love with him in The Masked Empire and I flipped out when I saw him on screen. My brain is already trying to trick me into writing Felassan fic lmaooo

I have a few grumbles as well. Varric’s narration transitions feel…odd to me, like I’m missing a frame sorry that explains why he knows everything enough to play Lord Foreshadow with everything. The random villain POV cutscene felt juvenile. I literally was like “they did this in Kingdom Hearts too” lmao which may not be a compliment (though it worked there). Some of the dialogue is mid, but other conversations are lovely and even heartbreaking. So it’s a mix.

Overall so far the game feels a little too glittery but I’m also getting used to it. I had a moment while exploring the Underwater Prison where Lucanis is, where I was like “we are the furthest thing from Dragon Age Origins now, like, wow, Alistair would flip out if he knew mages and ancient elves could make underwater prisons like this” but I mean…different times, different products and all that

There’s nothing that makes me absolutely hate this game, as of yet. I’m disappointed about some things, but other things make me really happy! And honestly, that’s what I expected. I had a day or two where I was sad about stuff that I knew I wouldn’t get to see or hear (mostly Morrigan not acknowledging my warden, who romanced her, or her son, but also a few other things) but once I felt my feelings about it I could jump back in with fresh eyes and see what else I could discover

There are more callbacks to the older games, novels, comics, and short stories than people say. They’re just subtle. But I’ve kept my eye out, I’ve been taking some pictures, and I plan to have a few posts in the works about lore, if that interests anyone!

Anyway that’s it for now. Just got Lucanis, and now I’m back on the side quest grind. Updates soon!

#just some thoughts!!#dragon age #dragon age the veilguard #datv #da4 #dragon age spoilers #datv spoilers #also I am still hiding from spoilers #literally everything about veilguard and solas and solavellan is hidden on my dash #I just want be SURPRISED

Can't Say I Didn't Try

Chapters: 1/? Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Warning: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Isabela & Rook, Lucanis Dellamorte & Neve Gallus & Rook Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Confessions, Trust Issues, Slavery, Lord of Fortune Rook, Drabble Collection, Trans Male Character

The life of Urchin "Rook". Includes slavery, adoption, the Lords of Fortune shenanigans, opening up to people and finding a new family.

posted on AO3 (requires an account) or under Read More for easy access!

notes: i wanted a drabble collection at first but i think its too much to bother. its 2 am also im going to regret it in the morning for suuuure

feel free to ask questions or clarifications! this might not be in proper order so there's bound to be some confusion. also Urchin is trans, so. keep that in mind

warning: English is still not my first language, so please point out any mistakes, i'd really appreciate it. constructive criticism is welcome!

Her knife clatters onto the ground with a cling. Metal on stone, it bounces two times before landing on its side.

Urchin flinches. Her arms frozen in place, still gripping a shadow of a knife. She dares not move. Her body starts burning, the staring of a sparring dummy singing her skin. The dummy laughs at her poor technique. Isabela said that she had to defend herself, now that she’s a Lord of Fortune, to stop anyone from hurting her again.

And she wants to. Urchin’s hands tremble, tears gathering at the edges of her vision. The world becomes very blurry, bile rising to her throat. Isabela will kick her out into the street now. She’ll be forced to run her whole life, until eventually she’ll be back in that ship, working until her hands turn raw and bloody.

A flinch, a hand on her shoulder. It’s radiating warmth, but Urchin doesn’t believe it. “Oh, no, kitten, it’s okay. It’s your first day, love, I don’t expect you to do it right away.”

Urchin sniffles. Her knees threaten to buckle under her.

She’s going to get hurt again. Lightning will bounce around the room, a cackle of its source. “At least you’ll know what magic feels like,” the cackle said.

“Urchin, look at me, sweetheart,” Isabela’s voice rings louder than her jailer. She tries to feel her body again and look at Isabela. Through her stained eyes, Isabela’s unusual colour palette comes first, and she smells the sea. “Now, lift your pretty little eyes at me, will you? They’re beautiful — I just have to see them.” No one has ever said her eyes were pretty. No one said she was anything at all. Simply a tool to them. Easy to break, and to be replaced if useless.

But Isabela doesn’t see her like that.

Urchin blinks once, twice, letting her tears out of their cages, her nose running like a river. Isabela is smiling. Her smile so tender it makes the girl's tears heavier and uncontainable. Isabela’s eyes are full of care and affection Urchin doesn’t know what to do with. She doesn’t deserve them.

Isabela giggles. “There you are. Aren’t you just the prettiest pearl of the sea?” she gives compliments like it’s nothing to her, like it’s as easy as breathing. She’s lying, then. “Now, come on, baby, what’s wrong? Just because you dropped it now doesn’t mean you’ll drop it next time.”

Urchin hiccups through her answer. She knows she has to give one, even if it brings her pain, because disobedience is unforgivable. She doesn’t want to be in pain anymore, it’s why she picked up the knife in the first place. “B-because I messed up, and it was so-so loud, and I didn’t mean to drop it, I’m sorry mistress, I’m sorry, I’m—”

“Hey, hey, it’s okay, Urchin, you don’t have to apologize,” Isabela’s hand rises and Urchin prepares for a slap, but a palm cups her cheek, and Isabela’s gentle finger rubs tears off her face. “I’m sorry to put you through this so soon, I know it’s hard. But I know you can do this. We gotta make you stand up for yourself, and show those bastards how it’s done. You’re such a strong kid, you went through so much, and I can show you how to defend yourself against anyone who would want to do that to you again. You understand?”

She thinks she does. She doesn’t want to cower anymore. She needs to stop pain from happening. She doesn’t want to get punished again. Ever.

Urchin nods, and sniffs.

“Good,” Isabela smiles again, and takes her by the shoulders, almost in a hug. “I’ll get you a handkerchief, and we’ll try again. I’ll guide you the whole way. And then we’ll eat something nice. Doesn’t that sound good?”

Urchin nods again. Isabela rubs her shoulders before running into another room, and her body feels so cold without her touch. Urchin brings her arms around herself, like she would do when she went to sleep.

But it’s not as cold as she thought it would be, and the promise of food excites her. Maybe she won’t cry this time. She just has to try. For Isabela.

some dragon age canon x canon ships i wanna see for femslash feb. nothing veilguard bc the only thing i wanna see in that regard is BELLARA/NEVE

isabela/morrigan. do you guys see the vision? the freshly realized morrigan faces her greatest (gayest) challenge yet, the queen of the eastern seas. bonus points if morrigan was in love with fem!warden and they up and die bc they didn’t want morrigan having sex with alistair. bonus BONUS points for an isabela who slept with hawke and is kind of in-love with hawke but is the one who told them ‘love isn’t for me sorry bae kisses tho’ and hawke got with someone else.

leliana/morrigan. the original. HOWEVER, very specifically post dao leli-morgy. inqusition times are the juicy, ESPECIALLY with milf morrigan so throw kirean into there. a more confident in her sexuality morrigan boldy flirting with leliana (hardened. who is annoyed and aroused by morrigan’s irritating way of insult flirting) this is best complimented by maybe some sort of past they had together during the blight where leliana was the more active force between them and now morrigan is active in pursuing and leliana is passive bc she’s Going Through Stuff rn (crisis of faith and having her ex-situation back in her life who slept with her friend and had a BABY)

isabela/aveline but cut the middle man of aveline being like you whore anytime isabela flirts with her. i want them in an active friends-with-benefits situation that’s toxic because they both refuse to recognize the effect and feelings they have on one another. hate-fucking in the mud. 20k words. end with aveline on her knees for isabela (sexually?? not sexually?) have an epilogue of post veilguard isaline where aveline visits isabela in rivain woth her short hair and they have a sappy reunion then bang. you get to see all the delicious growth they’ve had as people and with each other.

leliana/cassandra to paraphrase someone else ‘what if the left and right hands of the divine clasped’ hardened leli because i refuse any other characterization. disillusioned lesbian is so tragic and True for leliana i’m afraid. at the start of inqusition leliana and cassandra are both at different points of their faith and i think them clashing (and kissing) about it would be a fun read. i also think some sort of bard!leliana au where they’re younger and stupider would hit as well. a manipulative leliana and easily manipulated cassandra. toxic yuri anyone?

merrill/josephine. i have a vision that i don’t fully comprehend yet. i don’t think anyone can. it’s too big brained. something something a very blunt and curious visiting eluvian expert merrill comes in contact with the ambassador. josephine set up her visiting skyhold and lowkey flirted with merrill in her letters to persuade her to come. merrill gets there and is very direct in her affection but a slightly clueless josie doesn’t realize. shenanigan and surprisingly kinky (i know what you are merrill) sex ensues.

all in all more sex. more rarepairs. more hardened leliana. MOREEEE

#dragon age #dragon age origins #dragon age 2 #dragon age inquisition #morrigan #josephine montilyet #leliana #merrill #isabela #cassandra #dragon age meta #femslash february #:makersbreathchild #this doubles as a to-do list for me lol

OMG OMG ok so like what if sev like was dealing with a really drunk reader and (when you say things when your drunk their sober thoughts) SO LIKE reader is saying all these nice things about Sevika and how much they want her baby’s and get married to her and how drop dead gorgeous she really is while laying in her bed and then at the end reader climbs on top of sev and raps their arms around her neck nuzzling their head into the crook of her neck. And whispers to her “I really mean all of this cause Ik you think I’m only saying it cause I’m sooooooo tipsyyyy *giggle* goodnight sevyyyy” and they like pass out. I wonder how sev would react. I was wondering if you could write this thought I have into like scenarios or a fanfic if not that’s totally fine I completely understand YOUR WRITINGS ARE AMAZING I LOVE THEM 💗💗💗💗 sending lots of loveee to youuu hun!

a/n: I love love love love this pls 😭 i would have done modern!sevika but.... also, sorry this is taking so long to get out, im not okay mentally, and the amount of times I have redone this bc it sucked makes me sick. slightly tweaked some stuff but it's there i swear. Idk how i feel about this i won't lie. ilysm w/c: 1.1k

───── LIQUORED UP

First of all, out of the two, Sevika can handle her alcohol so much better than you. So after a few glasses of whatever you had chosen to drink, you're already giggly and hammered by her side, mumbling out random sentences that make no sense but, you're happy, she can see you're happy and enjoying yourself.

"C'mon Sweetheart, drink some water then we can go home yeah? That's it, gotta take care of my girl"

You're extra clingy whenever you drink, so even though you were drunk out of your mind, you both knew it was going to take a little longer to leave the bar, and go home. she's protective of you anyway, but knowing you're drunk she's more protective, holding you close to her, keeping her hand on your lower back. although if you can barely stand, then she's carrying you in her strong arms. (yummy)

You know when a kid likes to run off because they've seen something that makes them happy? You're like that, all excited and gushy about everything, so she has to make sure to hold onto you just a little tighter, pushing people away just to be able to get you out the bar, and on the right path to your home. she could literally lose you amongst people so she needs to take extra precaution.

"Vika, don't wanna move.."

"Hey, i know, but won't it feel good to get home and be warm? it's not that much further"

I can imagine the slow walk home, she's holding you up and guiding you the whole way. chuckling but smiling at how much you're stumbling, obviously she won't let you fall but she just thinks it's cute :( and the way you're rambling about stuff that still makes no sense? girl got it bad for you.

drunk as hell, giggly as fuck but to her you looked so free and so beautiful. sure your makeup was now ruined because of how much you laughed and the tears staining your now rosy cheeks from crying because you had laughed so much, so hard but she's never seen you be such a free spirit in this world. you were truly the definition of perfection.

it wasn't long until she had taken it upon herself to carry you the rest of the way home like she did every time you got drunk. worried you'd end up falling and severely hurting yourself. it was like having your guardian angel. she truly did protect you, even more in a vulnerable state. "you're so strong, Vika.." You'd mutter, giggling into the skin of her neck, oblivious to the sudden heat rising there.

"yeah? does it impress you, Sweet?"

"mhm, all the time.."

it was a gentlewoman thing she did, she will neve lets you untie or take off your own shoes. that was her job, and always do things for you when you weren't completely 100% there. your drunk brain had you swaying, hand on her broad shoulder, trying to keep yourself up as she carefully slipped them off your sore feet, shoving them by the door. so gentle and caring towards you. "so kind to me, what would i do without you, Sev?"

"sleep without me pestering you for a kiss before i go to work every morning is a start. Go and get these clothes off, I'll bring you some water and something to eat, sober you up a little alright?"

the room was cold, too cold for your liking but that was your own fault for leaving the window wide open, knowing Sevika would complain about the chill, still though without a doubt would cuddle you to warm you up. she was so loving towards you, even if you did have days where you were a brat, endlessly annoying the shit out of her. she never shouted at you, or complained, she just loved you and took care of you.

"Hey, got your snacks and water. lemme take your makeup first then you can eat this, and sleep, okay?"

Another thing she did, won't even let you take your own makeup because she simply enjoyed doing that for you. you were also drunk as fuck so you would miss every patch. you watched in awe, watched the way she was quick to rush into the bathroom, coming back seconds later with a damp cloth. "Vika, can i tell you something..?"

She found it amusing you spoke like you were trying to tell her some sort of secret, but shook her head amused anyway. "give me a minute Sweetness, gotta get this off your face. you'll wakeup and cry if i don't"

the movement of the cloth against your face was slow, gentle even. she never rushed this part, she adored the way you looked at her with soft wide eyes, a small pout and overly entranced with her. loved to stroke your face, admiring you. booping your nose, adored the giggle she gained from her action. "You're so beautiful Vika.." you sigh, poking her cheek.

"Me? you should see you, angel"

alcohol made you more tired than usual, so it wasn't a surprise to Sevika when you crawled onto her body, snuggling your face into her neck, that deep blush returning on your face when she pulls you more into her chest. "Vika can i tell you now?"

"Right, of course Sweet"

"Just really want you to know that i think you are so beautiful.. i don't know why you don't accept my compliments or whatever.. but i hope you know that I'm telling the truth.. I'd never lie to you.. you're so pretty.. so pretty i want to cry when someone else looks at you, but i can't blame them.. you're the prettiest of all pretty things.. you wanna know something else? wanna marry you Vika, you make me feel so safe and loved.. you're so kind and gentle with me.. i wanna wake up to know you're my wife.. wanna have children with you.. grow up so they can be strong like you are.. kind like you are.. really want a family with you Vika.. love you so much.."

the abrupt end to your giggle told her your ass somehow quickly fell asleep, head snuggled right in the crook of her neck, your breath fanning her now hot skin. she didn't ignore your compliments, she loved them but she kept it hidden because she's never been told how beautiful she is. until she met you.

her heart was beating way too fast, the heat on her face was oblivious to you in your deep slumber but she felt warm. your words warmed her heart. you have had this feeling and thought for a while? to marry her? you wanted to start a family with her? have children together? the hand on your back halted, and lips grazed your forehead.

"I'd marry and have a family with you in a heartbeat, Sweetheart"

First Edition (Thomas Shelby x Reader)

Summary: Y/N loses a family member and comes to stay with old neighborhood friends....The Shelby's. Word Count: 876 TW: Drinking Tags: @theshelbyclan @globetrotter28 --------------------------------------------

My grandfather had passed away shortly during the midst of an industrial revolution. It wasn’t excellent timing, but thankfully I knew the Shelby’s. Their mom was close friends with my mom when we were all young children. I hadn’t seen them in ages as they were always busy with their new betting shop but somehow once my grandfather’s bakery went under after he passed they allowed me to stay with them for a short while. Thomas, the middle child, had offered a place to stay at his newly purchased mansion. I was very grateful for the Shelby’s indeed.

I was sitting in the home library. Sulking in my own sorrow and looking for decent books to read. It was then that I noticed an old favorite of mine ‘Persuasion’ written by Jane Austen. It reminded me of when I was a young teenager in Small Heath, entrapped in a love triangle with the young Thomas Shelby and his younger brother John. Johns happily married now with a lot of children, but Thomas is a widow, and I chose to avoid marriage ever since I was 17 years old. I carried a lot of independence with me and prided myself on it.

As I found myself lost in thought I noticed the door to the library creak open. I turned my head and saw the owner of the house catch my glance with the same chilled stare he gave me once he returned from the war. A lot of people I knew were different after the war, but Thomas Shelby was in his own special category all to himself. I didn’t know what he’d been through. He would never dare to let me in…but I do know that whatever he experienced hit him so hard that I could barely recognize him once he came home.

“Lost in your books again huh Y/n” He teased as I had put the book ‘Persuasion’ back into its place on the book shelf.

“It seems as if it’s the one vice I can’t seem to give up these days…sorry…I didn’t mean to go through your things” I apologized, recognizing that not everything in someone’s home should be touched.

“By all means, Y/n go ahead. These were all my wife’s. She loved reading as much as you did when I first met you, don’t feel bad” Thomas reminisced.

“I’m sorry for your loss” I gave my condolences and all he did was nod in acceptance. We stood there in silence for a few moments before he walked towards the minibar in the room and poured himself a glass of brown liquor. He cleared his throat, took a sip from his glass, and sat on the leather couch that was conveniently placed in the middle of the room.

“Feel free to take all the books you want Y/n…They’re all first editions” He offered. As blown away as I was by the offer, I couldn’t accept something so priceless.

I smiled and sat next to him on the couch. “I would never do that Mr. Shelby. They’re much too valuable” I told him. He stared deeply into my eyes for a minute until he shifted in his seat and adjusted his posture.

“You know you are still one of the select few of people who still have the privilege to call me by my first name, Y/n” He stated seriously.

I stared into his baby blue eyes for a minute, completely enamored with his beauty until I had to snap out of it. His good looks and charisma still strike me all these years later.

“I wasn’t sure where we stood exactly…after all this time” I mentioned.

“I think you know exactly where we stand” He spoke softly and brought a hand to my cheek, softly caressing my face.

“I’m not the same as I was all these years ago, Thomas” I sighed.

“I’d never dreamed you’d be” He spoke.

“A lot has changed” I frowned and took his hand away from my face as I remembered what happened with my grandpa.

“I know… I’m sorry” He apologized and sipped his glass.

“I never thought our families would have separated. I thought I’d always spend my days with you, John, and Arthur” I said and held his hand.

“-and I never thought I’d get married to anyone but you” He spoke honestly.

“Why are you doing this, Thomas?” I asked in all sincerity.

He looked at the floor and back up at me. “We’ve both lost people, Y/n. I don’t want to lose you too”.

I nodded my head and stood up from the couch. The thought of Thomas Shelby actually liking me back all these years later was too much for my mind to handle. “I need to go have a bath…I had a long trip” I spoke softly and shuffled my way out of the room.

“Y/n one more thing” He shouted from across the room. “Yes Thomas?” I spun on my heels and answered his call. “Sleep in my bed tonight…My staff hasn’t finished the guest room yet. I’ll sleep on the couch if you don’t mind” He insisted.

I nodded my head slowly and walked out of the room in a daze. Did he just call me to his bedroom?

veilguard thoughts pt 2: first couple companion recruitments

I’m losing it. The crossroads memories are ending me. Sad baby side shave solas!!! Short king felassan. Solas fighting elgarnan and doing the hero thing where he’s at the beginning of a hurt/comfort fic hiding his pain. I feast

like this is so much a solas game I cannot even deal, I honestly thought until recently he’d barely be on screen and now THIS!!!

let me meditate in my fish room to chat with the dread wolf at my leisure please

btw interesting detail that his agents just call him Wolf, so presumably Fen? I think Felassan calls him Solas. I’m sorry, GENERAL FELASSAN ! ! !

ILLARIO DELLAMORTE !!!!!!! they cooked with his design. Teia and Viago too. Like hot damn I almost immediately restarted as a crow. Lemme into your polycule

I loved Teia and Viago’s body language in the one scene I saw, very much couples communicating through pointed looks. The facial animations overall are great and I can see the difference with the mocap.

the ossuary, I assumed bones??? And got whales??? A++++

the spite thing is hot. Let’s get that out of the way. However Neve and Lucanis are very flirty and I love companion romances so idk idk. Haven’t met the old man yet.

RIP abusive grandma Caterina I guess loved your cane girl

doesn't that make Lucanis first talon I forget how the crows work

Overall loving the level design, especially the crossroads… is anyone not playing an elf and know if they kept it grey for everyone else? All the nooks and crannies are great fun to explore.

im terrible at combat but spellblade FEELS awesome. Can’t get the parry window down and everything ranged decimates me. That mage boss in the ossuary wrecked me. Must ponder my orb more

varric as my management coach is hilarious I think he hit his head

AND HOW COULD I FORGET Solas’ passive aggressive letter to Elgarnan wowow. Interesting detail that they were both ‘first of the elves’ and the same age, does that mean the first elves were spirits taking bodies? But didn’t solas take a body later at Mythal’s urging? Maybe solas counts his fade birthday. I need to read it again.

Get To Know Me (Dragon Age Edition):

(Template by @dalishious)

Quick addenum before we start: I wrote this over a course of several months--from October 2024 to January 2025--but I tried to keep everything clear and concise/do some editing before posting. That said, there may be some typos. Sorry😅

Also please let me know if any links are incorrect❤️

***

Explanation on some of choices (if you care, skip if you don’t. Kind of redundant since it’s all subjective but whatever🤷‍♀️)

•First off, picking a DATV companion I’m most excited for is hard bc I think they all seem really cool but I went with Neve bc I like her design the most and her being a detective sounds intriguing

•Second, I was expecting Morrigan to be my favorite in DAO…but then Zeveran came along and it was all over for me. I had to fight every urge in me to stop my Cousland Warden (Alice) from continuing to flirt with him bc I ultimately saw her ending up with Alistair. So I just ended up headcannoning that Alice had a crush on both of them but ultimately got won over by Alistair. It was honestly a fun role playing experience—especially for someone like me who tends to be pretty set with these games on who I want to romance.

•Honestly, this is really a tie between Miriam and Briala but since Miriam hasn't appeared in any game, I decided to put her here. I really liked her as a protagonist in DA Absolution (I just wish I hadn’t taken so long to watch it). And her connection to the villain was really interesting (personally, my favorite villains are the ones who believe their beliefs are correct despite all evidence. It's a very human reaction, as we're very stubborn to changing beliefs for better or worse. I would go on for a whole essay about it but that's for another time lol)

•Ryo, my baby🥰 First inquisitor and DA protagonist I ever made (at this point—including this replay—I’ve remade him at three times) so I have a soft spot for him. He’s a rogue with the assassin specialization. Romanced Dorian. Disbanded the inquisition but still vowed to stop Solas. I think by the end of Tresspasser, despite being a good person who wears his heart on his sleeve, he was just so tired of everything. In Inquisition he’s 26 (28 by Trespasser) so if I did my math right he’ll be around 38 by Veilguard. Is the middle child of three siblings: his older sister Ellarian is First Keeper and a fire mage while his younger sister Nuala is a rogue (but favors daggers and pick pocketing to a bow and arrow). In my canon his sisters arrive to help their brother, with Nuala eventually staying on to become her brother's own personal spymaster/bodyguard by the time Tresspasser and Veilguard come around.

•'Nature of the Beast’ has forest spirits, werewolves and an ancient elf. Everything I want in my RPG fantasy /hj. No, but really, I love this quest. Not only is it one of the only quests that didn’t completely frustrate out of the three recruitment missions, I’ve had a soft spot for the Dalish since playing an Elf Inquisitor and it was really cool to actually see a camp (same goes with Orzammar. I didn’t know much about Thedas’ dwarves before this so hearing about how their caste and culture work was so cool). I got lucky my first try and managed to get the “best” ending :)

•Choosing a favorite NPC romance/friendship was hard as there are so many. But I chose Dagana/Sera as I think they work well together as a couple. Also Morrigan and Alistair’s companion dialogue whenever they’re together is hilarious in my opinion😅

•So originally Josephine was the placeholder…until I played Awakening and Nathaniel stole the show. He’s just so fascinating to me and I think he’s one of the best characters in the franchise. Playing as a Cousland Warden was especially poignant as he and Alice worked through the cycle of harm together and became good friends. I wish he was brought back at some point (Sigrun or Valenna would also be nice…Sigrun especially. I love her so much❤️There seems to be so few fan merch of her out there, so far only I’ve found is some stickers. If anyone were to make a pin of her so I could add it to my pin collection I would love that. Take all my money lol)

•In terms of (major story) DLCS I liked (from low to high), I’d rank them:

Legacy -> The Descent -> Awakening -> Witch Hunt -> Mark of the Assassin -> Jaws of Hakkon

Jaws of Hakkon kept me hooked. I barely left the Frostbacks except for the war table missions I needed to do back in Skyhold (it is weird that you don’t have a table out there like you do for The Descent but it’s whatever🤷‍♀️). I like learning about the Avvar’s customs and exploring the world + learning lore around the first inquisitor and eventually discovering the truth. I will not go much more into it to be spoiler free but it was definitely the most enjoyable for me out of all the dlcs.

•With the amount of hours I had invested into Inquisition (~400 my first playthrough I think) I expected it to stay my favorite but DA2 surprised me. Yes, it was rushed, the cameo with King Alistair is anti climatic, lots of areas look pratically the same. But there's something very grounded about Dragon Age 2's world that the other two games can't match. Hawke didn't ask to become a hero, they were just trying to keep their family safe and together in impossible circumstances. Every companion is unique and varied. Watching them grow and change over 8 years and seeing their relationships with Hawke evolve is very satisfying. You're constantly aware of the danger in Kirkwall, it's a city constantly teetering on the edge as the war between the mages and the templars escalates more and more. For me, DA2 provides a sweet spot that the other two games can't match (even if I love them all the same). It also helps that I devoured the story in around a week. It's definitely become a new comfort game for me which is saying something given the subject matter discussed/all the grey morality going on :')

***

So a bit of background on me:

Inquisition was my first dragon age game so therefore I have a lot of nostalgia for it. Hence why I put my inquisitor Ryo as my favorite PC❤️

(I actually at one point was planning on making a fanfic series about his story but it never really panned out😅. I’ve since changed my mind on that and decided to write some one shots instead which I hope to post on my A03 here if you'd like to check that out)

I actually wouldn’t have known about the franchise at all if I hadn’t randomly found a playlist of the inquisition’s romances :)

Although, playing Inquisition first wasn’t exactly my plan. It was just the first game I got as a birthday present one year (I want to say since 2019??). I’ve had all three games for quite a while now but I couldn't get use to Origins' combat and I didn't want to continue on to DA2 without the full experience so I was sort of stuck for a while lol

Then, Veilguard’s release was in October and that lit a fire under me, determined to finally finish a full playthrough. Unfortunately, October was quite a busy month for me so it didn't end up happening until November/December.

Origins took me about 13 days to complete, DA2 took 7 days, and Inquisition took around 21.

Below is all the mods I used for my three playthroughs.

***

Origins

LAA patch (The NT 4gb patch also does the same thing—preventing crashes—but this one is THE patch you need to use if you want to use mods. Also, if you’re like me, and don’t want to waste two hours of your life—I wish I was exaggerating— scoping through forums trying to find a solution for ‘missing’ character dll file, try clearing EA App’s cache first🙃. Also, I’d recommend changing some settings to medium before you start if it continues to crash. This isn’t meant to be an in depth tutorial and it’s not going to work for everyone but I want to save anyone else the headache I had to deal with. Downloading physx also doesn’t hurt—you don’t need a NIVIDIA graphics card for it to work)

DAO Mod Manager (You can use this and an overrides folder in tandem. A lot mods can easily just be put into an overrides folder but the mod manager allows you to visually see mods added in the main menu + any DLC you may want to toggle on or off)

Skip fight (probably self explanatory but I was a bit confused at first (my own fault for not reading the description carefully enough), thinking it wasn’t working so I will elaborate a bit more. The mod adds a special item--that you must manually add to your inventory slots--that lets you skip fights and enjoy DAO's story. It doesn’t technically work with the DLCS but [you can modify the addins file] if you make a copy of the original. I said, I'm not a fan of combat but I usually try to give any combat system a chance before I cheat. But I have briefly played DAO before and found it clunky--plus I dislike micromanaging character's level ups so this was a life-saver!)

Extra dog slot (lets you bring your dog along with three other companions. You can still select him as a companion still but if you don't, you'll still be able to take the dog with you by summoning him with a “dog whistle” item. Just be sure to take it out before/if you get kidnapped during the third act as I heard it might glitch your save)

White teeth (Removes the yellowing on everyone's teeth. Pretty simple)

Pineapple’s Vibrant Colors (Makes DAO’s hair, skin and eye colors more saturated. I honestly didn’t notice a difference but I also changed my visual settings to medium shortly after so take that with a grain of salt)

Sparkling effect removed (My nickname for the mod. The modder calls it 'personal annoyance remover' lol. I just needed it bc I thought the sparkling looked silly during cutscenes)

Revenge of the Cousland (I try not to add mods if I'm playing a game for the first time that don't impact the vanilla experience. But I had to replay this part a second time bc I crashed or something. So I let myself add this mod as a treat ♥ Anyway, quick explanation: adds a cutscene where your Cousland is comforted by their love interest after killing Arl Howe. I think it's meant to have music but it ended up being silent for me unfortunately)

[Near the end of my playthrough I finally figured out how to add new hairs into the game but I’ll save that for another time]

Awakening

Dain’s Fixes (Not technically for Awakening only but I had to add this as Deneriem just barely was chugging along and by the time Awakening rolled around, it became unbearable. Just be sure to take out the fast running after combat sub-folder under QOL (Quality of Life) if you want to not be running as fast as The Flash)

Ultimate DAO Fixpack (I think this helped with issues I was having Awakening? I think?? It's basically the same as Dain's fixes but adds a lot more for DAO and extra content. Idk though, I might play around with it for a bit on my next playthrough or just take it out altogether🤷‍♀️)

Light armor retexture/sports bra armor/female neutral medium+heavy armor (listen after 40 hours of staring at my rogue’s light armor with an annoying boob cup thing and knowing I would be spending around 12–20 hours more with it, I wanted some variety. And quite frankly ‘sexy’ armor can be a bit much sometimes—different contexts and all that🙃)

Companion letters (pretty simple. Just gives you letters from your DAO companions in the personal chest after you arrive at Vigil’s Keep. Idk if this always happens but I ended up with a Loghain letter in there despite him being dead, which might be annoying for some but for me I just found amusing lol)

Sigrun's Roguish Past and Law & Order Fix (I didn't know I'd lock myself out of Sigrun's quest if I didn't side with the smugglers during Law and Order as Mischa just disappears. So I found this mod)

Awakening encounters renovation (If you're having trouble getting Velanna's cutscene/personal quest to trigger, get this! Instantly helped me once I went back into the game)

3 more Awakening bug fixes (you can probably guess from some of these titles but these fix bugs from Awakening that BioWare’s never addressed. They are different mods but I figured I'd link them together for simplicity)

Apparently I heard Awakening was around $40 when it first released which is a ridiculous price for a DLC😅 Ik it’s the longest DLC Dragon Age ever had but still. I have the Ultimate Edition of both this and DA2 so I didn’t have to buy them.

Dragon Age 2

Import fault fixes and edits (bug fixes and makes it easier to import a DAO save file into DA2. Found this after I played through the intro and using this/the original importing system didn't cause issues☺)

Easier to read font (I wasn't going actually going to use this myself, just share it. But I do wear glasses/contacts/have low vision so this mod was actually very helpful. There are two options: Serif or Sans)

DLC timings (Makes it so Legacy and Mark of the Assassin start either before Act 2 or 3 depending on your preference. I don't know if I'll use this again as I like the idea of it, it made me feel kind of trapped if that makes sense. Small nitpick I know, but I still recommend it)

Story mode (Basically speeds up fights to get them more over quickly in 'casual mod'--again if you're someone like me that would just like to enjoy the story)

Mabari recolors (Sometimes you need mod just for fun and this was that mod for me. I chose the Cwn Annwn recolor, which is a hellhound from Welsh mythology. I discovered afterwards that there's also a similar mod for DAO. Unfortunately it also replaces the retexture of every mabari in DA2 but it's not that big of a deal)

No more bloody teeth (same as the Origins mod above but for 2)

Pineapple’s vibrant colors (again, same as DAO but for 2)

Zeveran Restoration Project (I don't know if I'm happy with this redesign but it's much better than his actual appearance in game in my opinion)

Fenris' spring cleaning (removes the corpses from fenris' mansion. that's it🤷‍♀️)

Fenris white eyebrows (I thought this would be a no brainer but idk if I will keep this one as Fenris having darker eyebrows fits more with me ignoring the 'canon' that Bioware made, suggesting he was originally blond...just why😅)

Varania looks related to Fenris (gives Varania a tan skin tone and subtler red hair)

Feynriel Family Resemblance (Makes Feynriel from the Night Terrors quest actually look like his parents)

Forbidden Knowledge Quest Fix (lets you complete forbidden knowledge even if you read one of the tomes)

Return of Anders' fox's pendant (exactly what it says. I just thought it'd be a nice touch since I played through all of awakening)

Increased combat dialogue (basically what it says on the tin--increases how often your companions speak their combat dialogue)

Elven Tallis Redux (Makes Tallis look more canonically like the other elves in the game)

Backpack Mod (I hoard everything so I needed more inventory space. You can purchase more backpack space from merchants in each act)

Valuable Junk (I would just explain this mod but you can tell by the title and I frankly don't want to)

Robes of the Apostate (I tried several mods for my mage!Hawke to wear before you can get the champion armor and I settled on this one. It's an import of Dorian's/Vivienne's robes from DAI in the red and silver male version and I think it looks quite nice)

Amell Ancestral Arms (I used the ancestral robes variant as a replacer for Hawke's home outfit)

Epilogue Restoration/Fixes (fixes epilogue glitches and also restores dialogue for a Sebastian f!Hawke romance if that's your thing)

DAI

[There's two modders for DAI: .dai and Frosty. I use .dai mostly as I find it friendlier to use but did use a few frosty mods during my playthrough. You don't have to use them together though, it's all player preference]

.DAI Mods:

Fonty (same as DA2's font mod but for Inquisition. No second font option though. This one just uses Georgia. Also comes with a readable font for dyslexia)

Inquisitor Tarot Portrait (I love the artwork used to represent the inquisitor at the beginning of the game so when I found a portrait replacer to make the Inquisitor's icon that in game, i had to download it. Just be sure to keep the one you want in the load order and the others elsewhere as otherwise every inquisitor will default to the male Qunari artwork)

Immersive Starting Armors (gives your Inquisitor new armor that makes sense for their background/class during the intro)

Dalish Elf Saddle (retextures the mount saddle for a more dalish friendly one. I chose the darker retexture)

Fall damage nullified (it feels nice to be able to jump everywhere without having to worry about wasting all my healing potions)

Quicker Looting (Removes the looting animation)

No more Fog of War (removes the fog, allowing you to see the entire map without exploring so you can see every area/camp. Can be used with every DLC)

Shorter War Table Missions (Because who has time to wait nearly 24 hours for one war table mission to complete? Also I just thought War Table - No Waiting would be too OP for me)

More Inquisition Levels (I figured since I was trying to complete as much as possible this playthrough, I could unlock all the perks too)

Search Radius Increased (increases the radius of the search function by either 50 or 100 percent)

Yes we know about Mythal (removes an Elf inquisitor asking Morrigan who Mythal is while in the Arbor Wilds...for what should be obvious reasons…amongst other changes. The mod will still trigger with a non elf inquisitor so be sure to take it out for subsequent playthroughs)

More banter (lets you hear the companion dialogue more often--to be exact, every 15 minutes)

No more grave desecration (in the Exalted Plains there's a side quest where the only way to find items is to destroy the Dalish's graves which quite frankly doesn't make much sense to do for my elf quizzy. Also it's just rude and disrespectful😅. Now you just buy them from the Dalish camp)

Templar Banner Banned (removes the templar banner from outside the inquisitor's quarters)

Alistair 10 Years Later (Makes his skin tone more tan/adds some hair color options. I originally had a frosty retexture installed but found this dai mod and like this one better)

Leliana the Nightingale (gives Leliana a softer look that aligns with her Origins appearance)

Morrigan Outfit Retexture + Refined Morrigan + Morrigan's Classic Staff (Gives Morrigan a look based on some concept art/gives her a complexion similar to how she looks in Origins. And of course, I couldn't not give Morrigan back her original cold staff)

No Shiny Shirt (removes the shine from Josephine's shirt)

No more dirt buildup (removes the dirt from the inquisitor pants that appears as a while in game)

SFF Sumptuous Finery Silk (A replacer for the Winter Palace. Comes in a variety of colors—only choose one at a time. I picked the silver-blue variant. Doesn’t work with Tresspasser to my dismay)

Eggs without Hats (removes the awful hat Solas wears during Wicked Eyes, Wicked Hearts)

Party at the Winter Palace (back in 2019, this was the original mod I wanted to download but as I mentioned before, I hadn't figured out how to mod DAI yet; it seemed so complicated then. Anyway,, this mod lets you bring everyone with you for Wicked Eyes, Wicked Hearts and in the .dai mod version includes extended intros which lets you hear all the intros included for every companion)

Restored mosaics (I didn't go through all the trouble of finding every mosaic piece only to not be able to see the mosaics properly, you know? Comes in a full colored variant, a bronze and silver versions)

Bugs be gone (fixes various bugs in DAI that Bioware didn't)

Enhanced Camera (The camera's zoom in was not enough, I needed to zoom in even more. I chose the default angle but there's also an over the shoulder variant)

Hawke's armory (Gives Hawke a DA2 weapon of your choosing instead of the default weapon they're given. I used the legacy staff my entire DA2 playthrough so I wanted to reflect that in DAI)

Mabari retextures and recolors (Makes the mabari look less derpy/more canon friendly. I chose the Barkspawn variant because I thought that was a nice touch. While you can technically use it during main game, it’s reccomended to only use during Tresspasser)-

Story Mode (Makes casual difficulty even easier and comes as a potion you make. I resisted using this for a long time but then I had to cave after the game prevented one of the Emprise de Lion dragons from being killed as Ryo fell off the edge last minute...it was kind of funny but also very frustrating. Also it's just helpful when sometimes you want to get to your destination. Doesn't work with DLC though unfortunately)

Frosty Mods:

Regal Inquisition Throne (changes the inquisition throne to a nicer redesign as I wanted a blue throne to complement by Inquisitor's aesthetic and none of the other throne options felt right)

Collectables Map Pin (I'm a very visual person so needing to physically see the general area of where the various in game collectibles without having to rely on vague descriptions from wiki descriptions was a must near the end game. Conflicts with No More Fog of War however so they unfortunately can't be used at the same time)

Lore-friendly Fiona and Briala (I don't usually change character's appearances in games bc it's just not my thing or I find it complicated. But I read The Masked Empire recently so this felt kind of necessary to add to the game. Unfortunately, I couldn't get Briala's to work no matter what which made me sad as she looks gorgeous)

Requisition Officer Off (stops the requisition officer from talking to you unless you click on her)

Free Halla Doors (Unlocks all halla doors in the Winter Palace automatically. Personally saves me from more stress than this section already gives me)

Imperial Florianne + Calpernia Hair Swap (Imperial Florianne gives Florianne some makeup. The other mod actually gives her a couple of hairstyle options, I just chose Calpernia's as a personal preference)

CELENE THIS IS A BATTLEFIELD (Swaps Celene's dress for some armor during What Pride had Wrought)

Codex card and UI edits (I chose the Alistair and Fiona variants to make them more canon friendly. Also fixes Fiona's skintone during the epilogue)

***

Tutorials are on Youtube for free if you want to figure out how to mod DA for yourself and don't know where to start. Also I used a lot of forum and reddit posts bc that’s what popped up most frequently.

I’m glad that I finally figured out how to mod Dragon Age as I tried years ago when I first played Inquisition. But I was still k\new to Nexus mods then and didn’t understand how it worked so I left it alone for a while (it’s kind of ironic that the modding was a hurdle for me as I have been a Sims 3 player for 11 years but every system is different). I bought Mass Effect on sale at Steam last August and modding that gave the courage to try modding Dragon Age again.

This also gave me an opportunity to finish some of the tie in stuff that I had been wanting to (Masked Empire/

The Masked Empire/Asunder have also been sitting on my shelves for a few months and I got The Calling as a gift recently. I have been collecting the deluxe editions...but they are unfortunately incredibly hard to find (especially Last Flight--it's virtually nowhere and when someone does list it, it's super expensive. I wish I was joking but one post on Ebay lists it for a $1,000😐)

I meant to post this in December/early January but life got in the way. I also got more storage space for my computer this year so I could actually install/play Dragon Age The Veilguard (finally!!).

I’m around 17 hours in at the moment and so far…it’s alright. I don’t think it’s entirely irredeemable but I’m not loving it as much as the others. It’s just missing something that the other games had. Act 1 feels pretty slow even though I’m pretty sure I’m almost done with it. I do like some parts more than others: I like the character creation a lot (being able to give the PC a decent hairstyle is nice lol), the companions are interesting, climbing down+up ladders/sliding down hills is smooth, jumping onto ledges is a nice touch and, for me, the combat is pretty good (even if I don’t like the action route, it makes my mage!Rook very squishy ;-;). One particular, tiny detail I love is how if you get into a fight after two of your companions were in the middle of a conversation, they will continue it afterwards so there's not a chance of missing companion banter which I just think is so cool ^^

My biggest gripe is I’m having some technical issues with my graphics card because Intel Graphics causes a red light to appear everywhere and I’ve gathered that EA will probably not fix that🙄 Can’t exactly be emotionally invested when I can’t see anyone in a cutscene. It’s better in some areas and worse in others but it’s very annoying regardless :’) Also I occasionally experience crashes and I’ve been dealing with that annoying white screen bug in character creation that’s been going around— eventually fixed itself once I changed the background so I could properly edit my Rook.

I don't think I'd be as salty about it except every other game works great on my PC (Cyberpunk, Skyrim, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Sims 3, Origins, etc). But I digress, I've tried lots of methods but I've given up on trying to get a smooth experience that doesn't require me to get a completely different graphics card after upgrading my storage.

Then when I made my Inquisitor. It was going alright, considering I was going purely based off a photo I had on hand. But I kept feeling like something was off about it. And then just as I was about to fall asleep that night I realized…I had given Ryo the wrong Vallaslin and had to start over again🥲 (I was pretty embarrassed about that since Mythal and Ghil’nain’s designs are not remotely the same but I was completing the customizing late at night before I went to bed so mistakes can happen😅). Luckily I kept my save file so I discovered you can create a preset from a previous Rook you made so I didn’t have to go through making her again.

Anyway, for all that trouble, I finally have photos of my PCs:

Here’s Lilith (my Mourn Watcher, Elf-Mage, Rook)

She's very pretty, I love her🥰 (I cannot stop taking screencaps of her in every cutscene lol). She’s wearing one of the N7 armors in this in case anyone’s curious and the Mourn Watcher tattoos on her face instead of Vallaslin. She’s romancing Neve.

I always knew I wanted to make Lilith a Mourn Watcher and being an elf again just felt right. But I didn’t expect to make her a mage. Throughout the games I went from a female human rogue -> male human mage -> male elf rogue -> female elf mage. Felt like a good full circle moment for my canon world state❤️

She’s also very different from my other PCs—she can appear standoffish and wary of others until she knows them better, with a bit of a sarcastic streak, but also has a lot of compassion and isn’t afraid of standing up for what’s right. She will tell people exactly how she feels without being brutally honest. She doesn’t care what anyone thinks as long as she knows that what she did was right. Also she thinks Solas is a complete asshole😅

Also here’s Ryo ten years later

(two photos to give the full effect but he doesn't look as good in this first meeting...I think the lighting soured my expectations😅)

I tried my best with the character customizer but changes were inevitable given the games are literally years apart (IRL and in-game wise). Long hair looks good on him though❤️

I'm using this mod to change the regular outfit to the blue and silver version as I personally find the original outfit ugly and I wanted something to complement his original Inquistor outfit (also a couple hours in I discovered that BioWare put the inquisitor in regular citizen minrathous clothing…why?🙃 I don’t even think it has to be armor, it could at least be something more unique lol)

***

I was going to make a second post with observations I had during my playthroughs…but it’s been so long now and I didn’t plan ahead so that’s not happening. I will post Dragon Age/Mass Effect mod lists post eventually to correlate with my Sims 3 mods list.

If you made this far through my rambling, thank you—you’ve earned a cookie🍪. On a serious note, I do really appreciate it as I have no one in my real life to talk about this stuff with😅

Bye :)

Abraxas Mercar - Male qunari warrior

My first Rook! I played the whole game on stream and did not take the time to do screenshots of him, sorry for the quality; on the other hand, enjoy my reactions.

I look devastated in the sex scene because I actually was LOL I couldn’t stop crying over Davrin, Assan, Neve, and Varric hahaha 😭

Anyways I love him, I made him inspired by the first character I created for Baldur's Gate 3, and I think he's beautiful.

Ivy Laidir - Male elf mage

SO SORRY the quality is so bad but these are screenshots from a gmv(? song translation that I did (here it is, I love to do video edits).

I love Ivy. I made an NSFW comic of him and Lucanis. I have a fanfic in drafts that I’ve rewritten like seven times because I’m never fully satisfied with it. But he’s my baby.

I promise I’ve learned how to take screenshots in the game!

Anyway, your Rook looks super kissable. 💜

No, you know what? I decided to delete the ask, we have enough negativity around here. Let's fight back with positivity!

Show me your beautiful mlm Lucanis smoochers! And let's include the NBs too, they are left out too often! I'll start:

Back From The Dead Ch. 6

It’s finally here! Chapter 6 is up and live! I really hope yall enjoy this chapter. It’s around 2200 words.

This is officially explicit!! 18+ only!

Warnings: Pregnant Reader, pregnancy related talk, little bit of angst, oral (fem!receiving), little bit of overstimulation.

Pairing: Matt Murdock x Pregnant!Reader

Time passes strangely after finding out what you’re having. You had reached the halfway point of your pregnancy but the time following that seemed to run simultaneously fast and slow. You’re 25 weeks now and it feels like no time has passed at all. You took your glucose test at 24 weeks and passed it with flying colors, something you were incredibly thankful for. Matt had been confident you would pass it and you were glad he was right.

Speaking of Matt… now that the two of you were together, neither of you even tried to pretend you didn’t want to spend every moment you could together. Matt often met you after work and walked you either to your apartment or his for the evening. You two would share dinner and just spend time together. It was perfect. And even on the nights where one of you was too busy, Matt would at least stop by on his way out to patrol the city. Something you were very grateful for. It gave you a chance to look him over and make sure he was okay before he headed out into the streets.

You would never forget the look on his face when you first felt the baby move. He’d stopped by on his way out to patrol and you were sitting on your couch, just watching TV. You’d invited him in and at first, he had refused saying he needed to head right out. You were getting up to at least sneak a kiss before he left, when it felt like something fluttered in your stomach. You had immediately gasped, and Matt was across from you faster than you could track.

“What? What is it? Are you okay? Is the baby okay?” His panic was palpable, and he held his hands out as if to catch you if you fell. The sensation happened again and you suddenly grinned, realizing what was happening.

“Yes, Matt, I’m okay. Just… Just give me your hand.” Matt hesitated before slowly giving you his hand. You had pressed it against your lower abdomen and waited. His entire face had lit up in awe and wonder when the baby moved.

“Is that…?” He whispered, sightless eyes darting around. You smiled softly and nodded.

“Yeah, Matt. That’s our boy moving around.” Matt had spent over an hour at your place, the two of you sitting side by side on the couch with Matt’s hand resting over your stomach. It was a precious moment, one you held close to your heart. It brought you comfort on the harder nights.

Like tonight. You had had a rough day and Matt wasn’t able to come by like usual. He was busy both as a lawyer and as Daredevil. You should have gone to sleep hours ago, but you couldn’t. You didn’t even realize how late it was. Instead, you stood in your kitchen catching up on the dishes. You sang along softly to the radio you had playing and that’s how Matt found you. He’d been heading home from patrol when he’d passed your apartment and realized you were still awake. He quietly pushed up the window and slid into your living room. Cocking his head, he took in the song you were singing and the hitch in your voice and realized you were having a rough night.

“No grave can hold my body down, I'll crawl home to her” Your voice cracked at the end and that’s when Matt decided to make his presence known.

“Oh, sweetheart…” Matt said softly. You startled at his presence, turning to face him, and you heard his soft apology as he approached you.

“I’m sorry, angel. I’m so sorry for what I put you through.” Matt breathed out, reaching for you. You let him pull you in, let him lean forward and press his forehead to yours. Only then did you let yourself cry, safe in his embrace. Matt held you the whole time, rocking you back and forth gently. He apologized the entire time. But this time, that wasn’t what you wanted.

“I feel like if we keep hashing this out over and over, we’re never going to move past it. You don’t have to keep apologizing to me.” You whispered. Matt froze against you before cupping your face in his hands.

“Sweetheart, I will apologize every single day if that’s what it takes. Because you deserve to know how sorry I am. You deserve to know that I know how much I messed up. I’d do anything to take back what I did but I can’t, so apologies are what I’ve got.” You sighed, hearing the fervent way Matt spoke and knowing that he was completely serious about apologizing every day.

“Matt, I don’t want that. I just want you. I want to just be with you without this constantly hanging over our heads. I’m going to have some bad days, and unfortunately that’s probably going to get worse as my hormones get worse.” Both of you giggled at that. “But I just want this. With you. I want to be two people who love each other. I don’t want our kid to grow up thinking we don’t or thinking that you’ve done something so terrible that I’ve never forgiven you for it.”

Matt’s breath stutters and you realize that’s the first time you’ve ever said to him that you’ve forgiven him. His sightless eyes dart around, his grip on your face going slack. You know what he needs to hear.

“You’re forgiven, Matt. I forgive you and I love you.” You whisper. Matt drops to his knees, wraps his arms around your waist, and buries his head against your stomach. He shudders, just once, tension draining from his body in an instant.

“Thank you.” It’s muffled against your stomach but there’s no mistaking the words or the emotion behind them. You run your fingers through his hair and do your best to help calm him down. For several minutes, it’s quiet until you try to break the tension with a joke.

“You know… I’ve always liked the way you look on your knees.” You know Matt can hear your smirk in your voice and he chuckles against you before tilting his head back.

“No surprise there. I’m sure it brings back all sorts of memories.” Matt freezes, afraid he’s taken it too far. But instead of it bothering you, it sends a spark of heat directly to your core. He’s one hundred percent right, it brings back all sorts of memories. The two of you haven’t been intimate since getting back together but that doesn’t mean you haven’t thought about it.

Matt takes a deep breath in and groans and you know he’s smelling your arousal.

“Matt…”

“You know, there are other ways I can show how sorry I am.” He purrs, his voice dropping into that sinful tone you know so well. The one that makes your heart race in your chest and heat spread like lightning under your skin. He nuzzles against your abdomen again, pressing a kiss to the swell of your stomach.

“Are you sure? I don’t want you to feel like you have to…” You say quietly, trying to rein in the thoughts now racing through your head. Memories of all the times Matt had been in this exact position were battling for your attention and by the way Matt breathed in and groaned again, you were obviously losing.

“I’d never push you into anything you don’t want, sweetheart, but I can smell how much you want this. I want this too. Let me show you how much I missed you and how sorry I am.”

“Okay, Matt. If you’re sure.” At your approval, Matt starts pulling at your sleep pants, tugging them down and off your legs. You pull your shirt off for him when he pushes it up to nuzzle at your slightly swollen abdomen. He presses an achingly soft kiss there before he begins kissing down to your underwear. Once he reaches them, he grabs them with his teeth and playfully snaps them. You yelp then laugh with him.

“Go sit on the couch, sweetheart.” Matt orders softly. Though his voice is quiet, there’s no mistaking the command in his tone so you follow his instructions. Matt gets up and disappears down your hall before coming back with a towel. He places it under you and then settles himself on his knees again. Carefully, he pulls your underwear down and off, tucking them in his back pocket. Then he eases first one leg, then the other, over his shoulders.

And just like that, he has you exactly where he wants you.

“I’m going to make you feel so good, sweetheart. You’re gonna have to tell me when to stop, okay? Cause I’m not going to until you do.” With that as a warning, Matt dives in. You moan, long and loud, at the first swipe of his tongue against your cunt. It had been so long since someone had touched you and it was almost embarrassing how quickly your body reacted.

“Fuck, Matt, please…” Matt sighs softly and leans back in, kitten licking at your clit.

“I missed hearing you beg. Missed hearing you moan and sigh and cry my name. I promise I’ll never leave you again, sweetheart. Never.” Matt buries his head back between your thighs and you cry out as he starts his assault with renewed vigor. It’s like now that he’s made his promise, he needs to prove it to you by giving you an orgasm as quickly as possible. He works smoothly, using every trick he has to push you higher and higher until you come apart with a cry of his name. He drinks down everything you give and just keeps going even after you’ve finished.

“Matt…” You breathe out.

“Told you. You’re gonna have to tell me when to stop.” You gasp as he pulls your clit into his mouth and sucks. You writhe on the couch but Matt has an iron grip on you so you can’t get away from him. Your second orgasm approaches even faster and harder than the second and this time Matt groans with you when you cum.

Time grows fuzzy then. You’re certain it’s been hours since Matt started and yet you feel like no time has passed at all. You’re on your fifth? Maybe sixth orgasm. All you know is Matt has pulled you apart and you’re nothing but putty in his hands.

“Matt… can’t… please…”

“One more, sweetheart. You can give me one more, can’t you?” Matt pulls away from your pussy but doesn’t go far. He presses soft kisses to your right thigh, scraping his teeth over a particularly sensitive spot.

“I-I don’t know, Matt. It’s too much.” Tears of overstimulation well and Matt immediately pulls back.

“Shh, okay, sweetheart. We’re done. I’ve got you.” Matt very carefully picked you up and carried you to your bedroom. “Do you want a bath? Do you want to just get cleaned up? What do you need, sweetheart?”

His earnestness brings a smile to your face, and you bury your head in his neck.

“Can we take a bath? I want you to hold me…” Matt smiled softly and nodded, helping you into the bathroom. He ran the water and once it was warm enough, he got in and helped you in. He let the tub fill around you two and turned it off once the water was high enough. Then he just sat there and held you close, running his fingers over your skin.

“Sorry if I took it too far…” Matt whispered. You could hear the concern in his voice, and you forced yourself to turn enough to press a kiss to his jaw.

“You didn’t. You stopped when I asked. You know that’s all that matters to me.” You felt some of the tension drain for him and he readjusted you so your forehead was pressed against his neck and you were comfortably cradled in the strength of his body. Nothing would ever harm you as long as you were in Matt’s arms, of that you were certain. You were just drifting off, sated and happy, when you thought of something.

“What ‘bout you?” You slurred, glutted on the warmth of the water, the gentle drag of Matt’s fingers, and the orgasms he’d pulled from you. He chuckled, the action vibrating through you and rocking you gently.

“Don’t worry about me. I just wanted to take care of you. And I did.”

“Will you stay tonight?”

“Do you want me to?” You were almost gone but you could hear the vulnerability in his voice.

“Yes. Want you to stay forever.” You admitted, your exhaustion allowing you to be brutally honest. Matt froze underneath you before slowly relaxing.

“Let’s start with tonight and go from there. Okay, sweetheart?”

“’Kay. Love you.”

“I love you too.”

Moments later, you were out and in a deep sleep. You missed the way Matt cradled you gently, one hand resting on your belly. You missed the silent tears that slipped into your hair. You missed the absolute reverence Matt handled you with as he got you ready for bed.

You wanted him forever? You would have him forever.
