Day 30: Viol

(Iron Bull & Mallory Trevelyan, Background Blackwall x Mallory)

When Maryden the tavern bard brings in another bard to play when she’s on break, Mallory Trevelyan is delighted to see that the man plays the viol. Iron Bull watches on as the Inquisitor Mallie draws upon some old lessons from her childhood she’s loathe to elaborate on.

#agbink 2024 #original content #dragon age #ao3 #dragon age inquisition #da inquisitor #mallory trevelyan #the iron bull #da sera #VIOL TIME #I really like this one #Introspection on what it means to be passing as a gender that you don't identify as #To be gender non-conforming but not in the way that some people think #How long can you be stuck in one face before it becomes painful or impossible to switch to another one? to one that fits you better?#Gender is just as much of a performance as a music recital is #I hope y'all like this fic!#Writing Bull is tough because he knows *so much* thanks to his insane powers of perception but without confirmation it's all speculation #And it's hard to write about someone clocking Mallie as not a woman without coming across as “oh yeah well this person is Male so...”#Thank you Krem for serving as a point of comparison #The subplot of Mallory leaning hard into the whole “Herald of Andraste” thing even when he FULLY doesn't believe in it #I def plan on exploring it more because it fascinates me
