#alistair x trevelyan

[rookinthecrownest]

i am rotating the idea of an angsty King Alistair and Mage Trevelyan fic in my head like a rotisserie chicken. Alistair previously romanced Amell, who sacrificed themselves to slay the Archdemon. Put Alistair on the throne because she knew he’d make a good King and Ferelden needed him etc.

Alistair dealing with that + the fact that the landsmeet would never let a mage be queen and Amell was too proud to stay as a mistress so they were never going to really ‘be together’ anyway. Not that it mattered because she usurps the final sacrifice regardless.

Until, in the events of Trespasser his advisors realize that arranged marriage between Alistair and Trevelyan, who is a mage and like Amell had noble blood, would ensure Ferelden’s protection and neutralize the threat of the Inquisition getting too cozy with Orlais. Might even give them stronger foreign allies in the Free Marches.

Alistair immensely (and rightfully) pissed because oh NOW they’re suddenly fine with a mage being queen, so long as she’s also some kind of religious figurehead they can use as a shield against Orlais. The Hero of Ferelden wasn’t enough for them but the Herald of Andraste is and just how unfair that is etc etc its like history rhyming rather than repeating, because he’s stuck with another ‘hero who will sacrifice themselves at a moments notice to save everyone’ type, only the scale is even larger in Inquisition.

Idk I just think the concept is neat and rife with potential. I loooove trespasser and how political it gets with the fate of the inquisition :3

I have no idea if this concept makes sense but I will make it make sense somehow.

To anyone who played/has played dragon age for a while: have any of the romances you initially picked suddenly become unappealing?

Unfortunately I find myself in that boat on several cases. In fact, I’d say all of the romances I initially picked are just 🤦🏼‍♀️

While I won’t unlink any of my characters from them (I don’t really play games anymore, and I’ve changed quite a bit in the last few years. Goodness, I don’t even participate in fandoms for the most part) I still find myself hand palming at several of them. Most for reasons I don’t know.

I initially picked the following across all games: Alistair, Ferris, and Cullen (follower oc). Solas I picked for my inquisitor is kinda still in tact…but I also get annoyed at all his fade talk in inquisition. I find him unappealing for that reason.

Bruh I loved the fanart you drew of your Durge and Shadowheart and now I just binged your whole fic I just had to let you know that I love your durge so much and can’t wait for the rest of his story ❤️❤️❤️

I literally had to pause for a bit when I saw you sent an ask to me because I was so surprised 😭 I’ve been following you since like, before I even started posting fanart stuff! I literally ate all your Dragon Age art for the entirety of my senior year in high school 😭😂😂

Thank you so much!! I’m so happy you love my Durge and the fic! This made my day so much ❤️

Dragon Age characters IRL#1: protagonists and love interests:

So I recently (like last year) discovered Artbreeder and so decided I’d make a series of some of the dragon age characters as I’d imagine them to look, in real life.

Amelia Cousland* & Alistair Theirin:

*Normally, Amelia’s hair would be up in a braided bun but I couldn’t get the bun to work on her portrait so, enjoy Amelia without her hair down.

Freya Hawke & Anders:

Anya Trevelyan & Cullen Rutherford:

My Dragon Age Couples

Alistair Theirin x Selky Cousland

a young, playful couple who coped with shouldering the fate of the world by carving out time to have many sweet, silly, and tender moments together

when I think of my Cousland, I'm reminded of a song lyric: "a little innocent, a little naughty" as she lived a sheltered noble life, but found she loved getting her hands dirty--and couldn't keep them off Alistair either

she also gets jealous easily even though she has nothing to worry about since King Alistair is madly in love with his rough-and-tumble, ball-and-chain queen

the legendary, fairytale union between the witty, handsome King Alistair and the pretty, doe-eyed Hero of Ferelden are often gossiped about throughout Thedas

Fenris x Liora Hawke

a serious couple who went through a lot of highs and lows and have many differences, but will always be there for each other

my Hawke is sarcastic and as charming as a politician, but shows her tender side only to those closest to her

she's rather vain about her appearance and her warrior fighting style left her with many facial scars over the years which causes her much dismay

Fenris easily picks up on her self-consciousness and reminds her that she is still the most beautiful woman he's ever seen

Cullen Rutherford x Tauni Trevelyan

a caring, passionate couple who share guilt over finding such a beautiful romance with each other due to the weight of responsibilities and burdens they bear

my Trevelyan is very kind and faithful, which many might consider weak or naive, but it's because of her strength that she can walk a path of compassion

she always gives more than she takes so her tenderness cracked the heart of her beloved commander, allowing him to finally recover from his lyrium addiction

With her a mage and Cullen a former templar, Tauni always ruminated over what he thought about her and she struggled to overcome her reservations despite her deep attraction to him

Cullen's awkwardness empowered Tauni to open up and relax since she found teasing him to be very amusing

Pondering King Alistair and Inquisitor Trevelyan. Considering Alistair King Alistair and Inquisitor Trevelyan. Slowly descending to hell over King Alistair and Inquisitor Trevelyan.

[nirikeehan]

Happy Friday Niri! You've got your rarepairs up so uh what if Thalia/Alistair "L’esprit d’escalier (French) Literally ‘the spirit of the stairs’ this is when you think of the perfect come back or retort after the conversation has happened."

oKAY i wrote this very late last week for the 500 word smut challenge but then fell asleep before I could post it. So.

Imagine they've had a FEW additional meetings before Thalia decided to bang him, idk if she'd truly be THAT forward otherwise. 😅 But whatever this is a rarepair AU right 👀

“And that’s why you wanted to — wanted to meet again? Because you’d — ah — thought of the perfect comeback?”

“Mmhmm. That never happens to you? The conversation’s long over, and it just… pops in your head?”

“Oh, all the bloody time. I just didn’t realize it would lead to… this.” Alistair let out a breathy chuckle. 

“Well, you were very intimidating in person the first time. Your Majesty,” Thalia added primly. 

“Ugh, please, don’t call me that, not— here. And I—” He grunted, then let out a breathy pant. “Maker, slow down, will you? I’m in no rush.” 

“Sorry.” Thalia slowed the rhythm of her hips, and they both let out a sigh of pleasure. “It’s just, it’s not everyday one has a private audience with the king.” 

“No king. Not right now.” Alistair leaned forward and kissed her. He was sweet, that was true, with his puppy dog eyes and soft touches. His fingers trailed from her face to her bare breasts, swaying with each thrust, to the curve of her buttocks as she straddled his lap. This had started because he remarked he didn’t think it was possible to make love in such a narrow, uncomfortable chair, and that’s why it was the one given to him for official crown business. Thalia was in the midst of proving him wrong. 

They slowed to a languid pace, and both moaned. The throbs of pleasure coming from Thalia’s core made it harder to concentrate on the shrewd banter they’d been keeping up all day. “Ah, that’s better. Mm, much better,” Alistair breathed, tangling fingers in her hair, which she had let down for the occasion and draped them both like a blanket.

“And you’re sure your wife won’t mind?” Thalia asked, though at the moment she hardly cared. 

“Psh, Anora? Marriage of convenience only. She’s been encouraging me to do this for— erg — years.” He grinned as he jerked his hips against hers, making her cry out in ecstasy. “First time I’ve tried it, though.” 

“I am… happy to oblige.” Thalia was breathing hard. It wouldn’t be long now, though they were doing as much as they could to prolong it. She ran her fingers along his chest, bent down low so he could get a different angle. “And the treaties — between the Ferelden crown and the Inquisition? They’ll get signed?”

“Oh, of course they’ll get signed. Please don’t think this is meant to be — payment—”

“Of course not,” Thalia said quickly, relieved. “This is just a — friendly — bonus. I’m sure.”

“Little more than friendly,” he said. “Oh, Maker, I’m close…”

She rode him harder, and soon they both climaxed in a flurry of moans. Thalia yanked his hair as she came, grinding down hard against his erection. He stroked hard, twice, and then went soft as she collapsed against him. 

Alistair kissed her sweaty forehead and held her close. She felt safe in his arms, like a child. 

“I guess that’s one way to do diplomacy,” he said, chuckling.

Midnight Confessions (Alistair x Evie)

Notes: So for the longest time, I've loved the idea of my Mage Inquisitor being with Alistair either as a warden or as king because I feel they'd be perfect for each other. I think they have a lot in common and I've always wanted to write something for them. I have a ridiculous amount of unfinished fics about these two and this one was something quick and simple that I wrote in two days and so I'm going for it and posting it! I hope you like it and I hope that I got Alistair's character right and it's as sweet and soft as I intended for it to be. Enjoy!

Day had turned to night quicker than she’d realised. And now here she stood; dressed in the silk nightgown specially handmade for her by the finest tailors in Thedas. Sent as a gift. A wedding gift to be more precise. She stood before the marital bed beside her new husband. Both stand awkward, quiet and equally as nervous. 

They knew what was expected of them tonight. They’d known when they’d agreed to the marriage in the first place. They’d known when they first met. They’d known when they’d sat getting to know the other over glasses of wine and bottles of Ferelden beer. And they’d known when they’d stood at the alter and been pronounced man and wife. The Inquisitor marrying the King of Ferelden had been the talk of Thedas for months and now it had become a reality, as said man and wife stood beside each other on their wedding night; they were terrified. 

Evie fidgeted, picking at her fingernails and pinched at the silk that covered her body; embarrassingly leaving very little to the imagination. Which in turn made her extremely self-conscious. Alistair tried and failed multiple times to swallow the lump that was sitting in his throat and the churning of his stomach as the nerves gripped him with their suffocating clutch. The room was thickly silent save for the clearing of throats and the shuffling of feet as each waited for the other to make a move closer towards their marital bed. Neither did. 

She had refrained from telling anyone her most closely kept secret. That she; Evelyn Trevelyan, a powerful mage, Herald of Andraste, slayer of Corypheus and fearless leader of the Inquisition; was a virgin. She was already embarrassed about the fact that she had made it to the age of twenty-eight and had still yet to invite anyone into her bed. She hadn’t wanted anyone to know. It hadn’t seemed that big of a deal. But now as she stood before her husband; it suddenly became all too real that still no one knew the truth. She had to say something. 

Taking a deep and shaken breath she turned towards Alistair and sighed. 

“Alistair…” she whispered into the silence and all at once the spell was broken and all sounds seemed to come to life. The wind softly breezed through the drawn curtains of the balcony beyond. The crackling of the flames in the lit fireplace. And Alistair’s laboured breathing. It seemed to echo now as he turned to glance at her with that terrified look on his face. 

“Yes?” He asked nervously. She took a second and turned away from his gaze. She didn’t think she could look him in the eye as she made her confession. 

“I’m aware of what is expected of us tonight. I’m not a fool and I know you aren’t either. But you see I…uh…I don’t think I’m ready for this…” She paused and took the risk of peeking towards her new husband. And instead of finding annoyance or anger, she saw only worry and concern. “The truth is I’ve never done anything like this before; with anyone.” 

Evie didn’t know what she was expecting to happen after she told him the truth but Alistair letting out a breathless laugh of relief and flopping down on the bed with his hands covering his face was certainly not it. “Oh thank the maker!” He laughed. His whole face losing every inch of tension and worry as his features became softened and light. “I’m so glad you said that Evie.” She was confused. Moving to take a seat on the bed beside him. He sat up and smiled sweetly; taking her hand in his. “You are?” She asked. He laughed again; running his other hand through his hair. “I was so scared to tell you; well more embarrassed I would say. I mean get to thirty-one and have zero experience. Not that I haven’t had offers mind you. I have but they were… not like you.” He was babbling he knew he was and yet he still couldn’t stop himself from talking. 

“I was worried what you’d think and that it would put you off or make me seem like I wasn’t worthy of being your husband.” Stop talking he thought to himself, you’ll scare the poor woman away . “What I’m trying to say Evie is…I haven’t done this before either.” She smiled and the same relieved look she’d seen upon her husband's face was now worn upon hers. “Really?” She asked in surprise. Scooting closer towards him as she moved to sit with her legs crossed. Her hand never left his as she squeezed it gently. 

“See the thing is, I was sent to the Chantry when I was ten; so I’ve always been raised not to treat this kind of thing lightly. I’ve always been waiting for the right person. And then I got recruited into the Grey Wardens and we were fighting against the blight so there wasn’t much time for romance.” He explained. “Not to mention the whole time I had to put up with Cousland making kissy faces and heart eyes at Morrigan; I spent most of my time trying not to vomit.” He laughed and Evie giggled at the cheeky smirk he gave her. 

“You know that’s so strange you say that. Because I pretty much had the same experience.” She said. Alistair gave a tilt of his head and it made him all the more endearing than he already was to her. Along with that lopsided grin; it made her heart flutter. “I was sent to the Circle of Magi when I was eight. And didn’t leave until the mage rebellion happened. I spent most of those years on the run, when they did track me down, it was only because of my noble upbringing that the Grand Enchanter chose to send me to the Conclave. And well… you know everything that happened after that.” She sighed and turned away but Alistair took ahold of her other hand and gently pulled her towards him as he gave her an understanding smile. 

“During that year of trying to defeat Corypheus and fighting against his demons and agents, I was so focused on everything I guess…” 

“There wasn’t much time for romance?” He offered sweetly as he leaned forward, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. She blushed and he definitely noticed. “I suppose we should be thanking Leliana; it seems she knew we’d be perfect together. Having as much in common as we do.” She smiled. Alistair nodded and hummed in agreement. Their eyes met again and all the tension that was once in the room melted away—leaving only calm and comfort in its wake: gentle smiles and soft touches. Neither hesitated as Evie untangled her legs and threw herself at Alistair; his arms wrapped around her waist and held her close as their lips met in a kiss. It wasn’t anything like the chaste kiss they’d shared at their wedding, full of nerves, uncertainty, and hesitation. This was heated and passionate and warm. They broke apart to come up for air panting a little; they both beamed at the other with blushing smiles. Evie’s eyes fluttered closed as Alistair leaned forward to kiss her forehead and then her nose. 

He took hold of her hands again; bringing them to his lips; kissing her knuckles and the back of her palms. To say she was swooning was an understatement. “Evie I want to do things right.” He declared softly. “I don’t want to rush things between us; I mean I suppose we have skipped a step considering we’re already married..” 

Evie giggled at that. He did have a point. 

“But I still want to court you properly. I want to take you to dinner and buy you flowers and chocolates. And go out riding together in the woods; Oh! We could take a picnic and make a whole afternoon out of it!” He gasped excitedly. “I could take you dancing; you know if you don’t mind me stepping on your toes again. I am getting better…kind of. Actually, never mind, I’ll work the dancing.” He promised. 

He continued listing all the things he wanted to do with her. From visiting the Denerim market and the tavern to try more ales together and treat her to a proper Ferelden stew , to reading in the royal gardens. He wanted to sneak her love notes during their council meetings and bask in the sunlight as they catnapped out on the balcony of their bedroom. Evie was so caught up in all the romance of it; she wondered what she’d been so afraid of. She interrupted him with a kiss; sitting back and cupping his face in her hands, that lopsided grin gracing his handsome features once again as he gazed at her. 

“That sounds wonderful.” She smiled. “And I can’t think of a better way to start all that than by kissing my new husband goodnight and falling asleep cuddled up in his arms tonight.” 

“Whatever my queen desires.” He purred, pulling her close for another kiss pressed against her forehead. And as Evie laid herself beside him; both shuffling under the covers and snuggling closer together, she could hear his heartbeat as she rested on his chest. He wrapped an arm around her middle, his chin resting on the top of her head. It felt as natural as breathing the way they fit together. Like she’d always been meant to be here. It didn’t take long for the King and Queen to drift off to sleep and as Evie let herself be carried off into the fade of dreams and magic. She knew that falling in love with Alistair would be the easiest thing she would ever do. 

[persephoneggsy]

If Marian and Hildegard could kiss their LI wherever and whenever like the Warden could, would they do it, and would there be any place in particular they would like to do it? Or in front of any party members?

Hmm.

Marian and Sebastian definitely revel in physical affection, though Marian is actually a bit shy when it comes to PDA. She’s built up a reputation as a fearsome, cold hearted bitch, she has street cred to worry about! She’s not actually upset when Sebastian wants to hold her hand and kiss her in public, though. She just acts all huffy and blushy about it. She’s much more physically affectionate when they’re in a more private setting.

I like to think Hightown is a good place for them to show affection. All the nobles watch and gossip about them. As for companions, by this point, Marian really only brings Fenris and Merrill around with them, and the disgustingly sappy happy couple kind of becomes background noise to them — my headcanon is actually that they kind of start to bond over being third wheels (affectionate) lmao.

As for Hildegarde, lol. She’s so shy she’d never even dream of initiating PDA herself. Part of her still can’t quite believe that Cullen returned her feelings. As for Cullen, I imagine he’s largely a private person, so most of his public affection for Hilde is restrained to subtle touches and warm, whispered words.

Their affection happens in private places, like Cullen’s office, Hilde’s quarters, or the battlements when no one else is around. Everyone KNOWS they’re together, they’re just quiet about it.

Though, I do like to think Hilde finally works up the nerve to give Cullen a (very very chaste) kiss in front of the other advisors as they’re wrapping up a war table meeting. She turns pink and runs out right after, but she did it! And Cullen is left staring into space after her as Leliana snickers and Josephine giggles.
