Rating: Mature   Word Count: 6,064 Pairing: Arishok/Male Hawke Other characters: Fenris, Qunari, Varric Tethras, Anders, Merrill, Purple Rogue Hawke, Herbert the Goose Other Tags: POV Fenris, Humor, Wild Goose Chase, Light-Hearted, Canon-Typical Violence, Untitled Goose Game References, Comedy, Slapstick, Horrible Goose (Untitled Goose Game), Accidental Death, Implied Sexual Content, Fade to Black, Dead Goose: Do Not Eat
Summary:
The Arishok gives Hawke a special task to prove his worthiness as kadan: to get rid of a goose that is pestering his men at the Qunari Compound.
Written for the Dragon Age Create-a-thon 2024 @dacreateathon!
———
‘This is a foolish plan,’ Fenris told Garrett Hawke when the latter asked him for advice on the Qun, and—more specifically—how he could become the Arishok’s lover. Fenris had almost added ‘for a foolish man,’ but realised his warning would fall on deaf ears.
For Garrett Hawke had decided that he wanted to sleep with the Arishok—his latest harebrained scheme in this equally harebrained city—and once the dark-haired bearded rogue had decided on something, not even his beloved sister Bethany would be able to dissuade him.
Somehow, things had a way of working out well for Hawke, even though they really shouldn’t. Either the man was incredibly, ridiculously, extremely lucky, Fenris thought—or the Maker was real and loved Hawke very, very, very much.
‘But I want him,’ Hawke whined, ‘and I don’t know anything about the Qun or the Qunari. That’s why I need your help. You do.’
Fenris sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose: as much as he regarded Hawke as his friend, a competent fighter and wielder of dual daggers he respected for his skill as much as his can-do attitude, sometimes Fenris swore that the man’s occasional idiocy would be the death of him.

Dragon Age Create-a-Thon Entries
I did the @dacreateathon again this year! I'm putting together a rec list, but I'm going to show off my own work first. :3
This year I did two fics about Thayet and her pre-Inquisition love interest, Aeryk. I had meant to do some Solavelyan, but Aeryk just took the spotlight from Solas and wouldn't give it back this year.
The first work is set at different points during the 12 years Thayet was a Templar in the Ostwick Circle, with one scene taking place during DAI right after In Hushed Whispers. It's Grade A Boggy-Branded Hurts-So-Good tragedy.
The second one is AU smut I wrote because I felt bad for torturing them.
@dismalzelenka also made me a cover for the longer one!
Tumblr media
dying now a second time
F!Trevelyan/M!Lavellan. Rated M. Major Character Death (sort of). 17k/4 chapters.
They had pantomimed the intimacy of lovers as if they could add new roles to the elaborate fiction of the Circle: the mage who’d never been captured, the Templar who’d never taken vows. Narratives to justify foolishness disguised as acts of kindness.
more and smaller ways of dying
F!Trevelyan/M!Lavellan. Rated E. No Major Archive Warnings. 5k.
Despite it all, there are still things worth being grateful for. The first is finding Aeryk alive. The second is discovering that he isn't Tranquil anymore, and hasn't been since the Breach opened up. And third, he still loves her.

Middy's DA Create-a-Thon Masterpost
Tumblr media
This year I made a bunch of different works for the @dacreateathon, including fic, recipes, crochet, and podfic! Here is a post of everything I made for the event this year. :)
Fanfiction:
The following works are part of a large collaboration called A Night to Remember with Team Orlais. All of the works are set at an Orlesian ball at some point between the end of Inquisition and start of Trespasser.
Madame Volants' Guide to the Grand Game
Rating: G
Madame Volants invites you to the Monmarte Ball, where excitement abounds and characters from the Dragon Age series will certainly have an unforgettable evening.
Notes from the Chateau Lierre Kitchens
Rating: G
A few moments from an Orlesian kitchen, featuring recipes for Remy Ducasse's macarons and Alienage quiche.
Stealing Glances, written with @oftachancer
Rating: T
Relationships: Dorian Pavus/Rilienus
Word Count: 5K
Rilienus has a job to do, but how can he resist the handsome Alti who keeps getting in his way?
More Fanfiction (not associated with the Orlais collab):
The Vault that Dreams Might Fill, with @oftachancer
Tumblr media
Rating: M
Relationships: Karl Thekla/Dorian Pavus, mentioned Karl Thekla/Anders/F!Hawke
Word Count: 33K
In 9:41, a book was found in Therinfal Redoubt that held a long-held secret about Tranquility. Karl Thekla needs to learn that secret. He needs it like he needs to breathe. Though it is risky, he sets off to pursue a solution to the endless cycle of Tranquility and raw awareness he has been living through for nearly ten years.
This work is the seventh part of 'The Mortice and the Tenon' Arc, which follows the alternate history of Karl Thekla and Anders. This series can be read alone, but if you're curious to learn more details of their history to this point, please enjoy earlier parts of the Arc.
Daylight, with @oftachancer
Rating: E
Relationships: Dorian Pavus/Rilienus
Word Count: 41K
Tumblr media
In 9:31 Dragon, the Silver Lady of Churneau hosted a week-long fete to celebrate the end of the Fifth Blight. She invited guests from around Thedas to attend. This is where Dorian Pavus met Rilienus Maecilia and didn't have a chance to ask a question.
(This is a prequel to The Vault that Dreams Might Fill, but doesn't need to be read in that order).
Shredded Lace and New Leather, with @oftachancer
Rating: M
Relationships: Dorian Pavus/Rilienus
Word Count: 30K
Tumblr media
After 10 years apart, Dorian and Rilienus are unexpectedly reunited.
(This is a sequel to Daylight and probably should be read in that order, but can also be read alone).
Friends After the Fall
Rating: G
Relationships: Merrill & Anders
Word Count: 2K
Merrill begins a correspondence with Anders after he flees Kirkwall. Includes a recipe for Anders' Apple Crisp.
Podfic:
Curiosity Crosses the Veil
Rating: T
Relationships: Spirit of Curiosity/Human OC, Female Surana & Female Amell & Jowan
Jowan's anxiety rises as he approaches the age to Harrow, and it's getting to his friends. Hamin decides to distract him with a story of Veil-crossed lovers.
Curiosity is a spirit who yearns to experience the waking world, Odric is the human she comes to love, and Envy is a demon who has dark designs on their union.
A storytelling fic set in the Kinloch Circle Tower, inspired by The Little Mermaid. Written and recorded for Create-a-thon 2024.
Ready to Rise and Fall
Rating: G
Relationships: Loghain Mac Tir/Rowan Guerrin
Musings on Loghain and Rowan before the final battle for freedom.
Originally written by Librivore42 and recorded by midnightprelude.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age: Inquisition Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Inquisitor/Eustace Morris, Female Inquisitor/Eustace Morris Characters: Eustace Morris, Female Inquisitor (Dragon Age), Leliana (Dragon Age), Sera (Dragon Age), Dorian Pavus, Cassandra Pentaghast Additional Tags: Alcohol, Swearing, Mild Language, mostly just Sera, Pining, Fluff, Secret Crush, Wingman Leliana Summary:
Ser Eustace Morris, Quartermaster of the Inquisition, has had a crush on the Inquisitor since day one at his posting. It has never interfered with his work, but that was before Leliana invited him on a cargo transport mission to and from Montsimmard. With the Inquisitor.
He's fine. This is fine.
I filled the rarepair prompt for the Dragon Age Create-a-Thon (at time of writing, only two other fics had the Inquisitor/Eustace Morris tag). Honestly, I kind of fell in love with this pairing as I wrote it. I loved talking to Quartermaster Morris in the games, but admittedly the whole thing started out as a bit of a joke and then it just spiraled from there. I rarely write anything other than gen fic, but this pairing kinda grabbed me by the throat.
I should mention, it’s a bit saccharine sweet, but if you like that sort of thing, I think you’ll enjoy this fic :3
This is absolutely Ser Eustace Morris propoganda.

Dragon Age Create-a-Thon 2024 Announcement
Tumblr media
What is the DA Create-a-Thon?
The Create-a-Thon is an event where DA fandom creators and DA fandom appreciators will be put into teams to try and win the most points for their team! Winning points has two phases:
Fanwork creation period. Creators make their art, fics, renders, or whatever else they like and post to the Collection on Ao3. Physical art such as crochet, knitting, and embroidery will be accepted (pending mod approval). Works will remain hidden until the end of the creation period and teams can win points for each work, with extra points for things like longest fic or most characters in an art piece.
Fanwork appreciation period: Interim points will be tallied and then teams can earn extra points for commenting on fics in the collection (limit 1 point per user per fic), writing and posting recommendation lists (1 point per user), or creating works inspired by others in the collection.
The winning team will be announced with all members and will get a custom banner for their team (and bragging rights).
What kind of works can be posted?
Any DA fanworks that were created during the creation period and can be posted to Ao3. Crossovers or AUs will be accepted as long as there is at least 1 DA character. Please try to tag works as accurately as possible, so that others can seek out fics they’re interested in during the appreciation period or avoid those that they may not wish to engage with for whatever reason.
Who can participate?
Anyone in the DA fandom who is 18+ and has a discord account, creators or otherwise! Commenting on fics also earns points for teams, so producing something isn’t necessary to participate! We’ll try and keep the teams even between creators and appreciators.
Unfortunately, this event will be 18+ only.
When will the event be?
Sign-ups open: August 25 - September 8, 2024
Team creation: September 9 - 14, 2024
Creation period: September 15 - October 15, 2024
Appreciation period: October 16 - 31, 2024
Results tallied: November 1 - 4, 2024
