Maymay 1: ✓ for Aether about Spiridon. Maymay 2: how does Aether perceive him anyway. Maymay 3: There are three young plants in three plain-looking pots, each growing in a different soil. "My mother carried the ancestors of these from the Anderfels thirty five years ago, and I carried them across the Waking Sea when I left more valuable things behind. I snapped twigs off their branches before they were buried in Haven, and potted them again when I could. (1/2)

Ya spoil me rotten, my dude

Meme1:Aether drew a breath to speak, and then hesitated before he let it out and smiled weakly to himself. Closing his eyes, he then gave a mild nod and then, he gave his answer. “Some may call this foolish of me, but what I find the most attractive about Spiridon is his honesty. It’s not sweetened to deceive, and he doesn’t mince words to inject what he wants to say into what he feels that he needs to say. If I am to be honest myself, I feel jealous of him for being the kind of person who can say things that way. It’s the sort of honesty I wish I had myself.”

Meme2:“The first time I met Spiridon was not the first time I had heard of him. The Lavellan clan which I was adopted into as their simple tradesmaster offered me little insight about him as a man, only that they had marked him for death for offenses none were willing to tell. Being able to meet him though, that made me question even more the clan’s reasons of casting this dark and miserable path upon him. He is not kind, no, but he is not cruel either. He is reliable when treated fairly, steady as the stones that the rains and winds beat upon, and mostly, he strikes me as someone who doesn’t want to be treated above or below anyone else. It’s men like him who help shape the world, not through great displays of power, manipulation, or money, but who are willing to do what needs to be done, to make decisions that need to be made, and to take responsibility for the consequences of these actions. He’s a good man. And I’m glad to have him, regardless of what the Lavellan clan has said.”

Meme3:Aether’s thoughtful pout was offset by the surprised raise of his blond brows as he read the letter that had accompanied these three potted plants. And slowly, a smile spread, one cheek dimpling as he gazed to his son, watching Da'elgara as he stretched out one fat little hand to tenderly stroke a leaf upon the closest pot to him. The Inquisitor leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his blond curls, “these are for you, da'len,” he told his little boy who looked up to him with eyes more gold than his father’s green, “why don’t we take these to the library? See what they’re called?” he suggested, always pleased to see the way Dael’s eyes lit up at the suggestion of going to the library, and quietly, excitedly, the two-year-old scrambled out of the chair. He watched his son walk carefully ahead of him, one pot securely embraced in tiny arms, the other two in his own, and then cast a glance out the window to where the battlements were being repaired, stone by stone, by the strong hands of a man more thoughtful than many believed.

[tavis-of-bannorn]

Out of nowhere, two hands came and squished the mage's cheeks. Who was this? A Sam? "Hey there, aulelei."

Tavis leaned down as his face was squished between two familiar hands. His chuckle came out a bit muffled as his face had been contorted by a pair of hands.“Hello Sam,” he said as his brow rose curiously. “Aulelei?… And why are you capturing my face?”

[smolpocketsmonsters]

The little boy seemed to enjoy the sensation of the natural ridges of the horns, sliding his hands quietly back and forth over them before Shok spoke and the boy nodded eagerly before settling happily in the strong arms, satisfied with his exploration, a hand curled in Shokrakar's shirt.

He was a quiet but merry child it seemed, a happy hum in his throat as he nodded again to the new question. "'m Dael," he said, "you're tall, like the mountain," he stated and grinned.

Whilst the Inquisitor was walking the yard, he might feel a small tug on the knee of his pants. Healer Aether Alerion's nearly three year old son had managed to sneak away from his watcher, his father preoccupied in the infirmary, and was looking up at Shokrakar with quiet, curious eyes and a shy smile, one arm up and his little hand making grabbing motions, fearlessly hoping to be picked up by the great bearded man.

Shokrakar stepped dead in his tracks and looked down at the child peering up at him. He let out a thoughtful hum and squatted down in front of him.

“What are you doing wandering around on your own, little man?”

He took the child into his arms and held him gently, smiling at him brightly. He held him close, hoping he hadn’t wandered too far.

otp question meme for A&V

No numbers? Just the entire thing? Well then -cracks knuckles-

1. Who is the most affectionate? Is there any question that it’s Aether? Vergil is the emotionally constipated one of the two of them and a lot of the affection between the two of them is rather quiet and soft.

2. Big spoon/Little spoon? Vergil’s the big spoon of course uvu/

3. Most common argument? Safety. Both of them are constantly going out into danger. In fact, their big fight started with safety as well, and Aether is almost constantly on the ball to lecture Vergil about an injury that was obtained by stupidity. Sometimes, Aether needs to get lectured too.

4. Favorite non-sexual activity? Bathing and washing each other’s hair. Vergil is high maintenence with his bodily cares and has this ritual that goes with his hair which makes it glossy and soft and it was extended to Aether to take care of his appearance more. Ever since they started, Aether’s got this constant glow to his skin and hair and you can tell when V’s been away for too long because Aether won’t do it for himself.

5. Who is most likely to carry the other? =v= Vergil.

6. What is their favorite feature of their partner’s? Aether has always been drawn to Vergil’s handsome amber eyes, even when they first met when Vergil caught Aether out of a tree.

7. What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other? When Aether realized he had feelings for Vergil, Aether had already been the Vigil’s Keep Consulting Healer for two years and had known Vergil for just shy of five. He tried acting like everything was normal, and succeeded for the most part, but he made adjustments to his traveling time away from Vigil’s Keep so it would exist more regularly and evenly spaced apart. He would spend three months at the Keep, three months away from the Keep, lather, rinse, repeat, for two years until he was adopted by the Lavellan clan and had to adjust it again to five months, allowing him a month of traveling each way. He thought the distance would help keep his feelings under wraps but as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

8. Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate? Aether usually avoided nicknames with Vergil, but occasionally he would call him a raven. It wasn’t until a couple weeks before the Exalted Council for Aether to call Vergil ‘ma vhenan’. My Heart.

9. Who worries the most? Hehehe was that a serious question? They both worry about each other a lot but it’s hands down Aether who worries more. He worries about everyone, and everything. It’s hard to make him relax.

10. Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant? They both are pretty good at this.

11. Who tops? Vergil. Aether has topped on occasion but prefers it when his Warden does.

12. Who initiates kisses? Both of them but Aether’s happen more frequently.

13. Who reaches for the other’s hand first? Aether’s more prone to initiating non-sexual touch so there you go.

14. Who kisses the hardest? Despite Aether being the pyro, Vergil’s the one who kisses with fire and passion. =v=

15. Who wakes up first? Aether usually wakes up with the sun and always has his bed in a position where sunlight can fall on his face in the morning, but Vergil wakes up first more often, usually stemmed from a slight sound or shift.

16. Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer? Surprisingly? Vergil. Aether’s a busy body and is used to being up and about almost immediately, at least until his depression strikes and then he doesn’t want to leave his bed at all.

17. Who says I love you first? Aether. It took a while after they finally became official (after 10 years of being an on again off again thing) before they were one day lounging together on Aether’s sofa in Skyhold before Aether just out and said it.

18. Who leaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?) Hehehehe, Aether, cuz he’s a mom like that. It’s usually found in the pack of potions he sends with Vergil when Vergil is traveling, and usually is just a message to be careful and come back safely.

19. Who tells their family/friends about their relationship first? After they became official or after they became a regular on again off again thing? Neither really told, but it’s pretty obvious that Vergil’s people knew first that Aether and Vergil had a thing going. Even when they became official, they didn’t really tell. It was just… kinda obvious that it simply was.

20. What do their family/friends think of their relationship? No one really thought much of their relationship in the beginning since it seemed to be almost exclusively sex and general companionship with no real strings attached. When Vergil came to Skyhold though, it was rather apparent to Aether’s inner circle that Aether had feelings for Vergil. There were some thoughts that the one-sided feelings were unhealthy but after Vergil became Aether’s saving grace from depression and it turned out the feelings were mutual, no one really had a bad thing to say about it. Aether’s good for Vergil. And Vergil might be rough around the edges but he does care about Aether too.

21. Who is more likely to start dancing with the other? Aether’s the dancer of the two, and when they are alone and Aether’s feeling a little playful, he’ll ask Vergil to dance.

22. Who cooks more/who is better at cooking? Aether’s the cook. Dalish know all sorts of recipes and can make good food with almost anything they can find.

23. Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines? Aether’s not good with pick up lines so probably him.

24. Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during inappropriate times? I’m pretty sure I have at least two 'ask me’s that answer this question. It’s totally Vergil.

25. Who needs more assurance? Aether’s the more emotionally needy one, especially after they recover from the break up.

26. What would be their theme song? Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This

27. Who would sing to their child back to sleep? Aether would sing Da'elgara back to sleep, with Vergil standing in the doorway, watching.

28. What do they do when they’re away from each other? They go about their duties as they do even when they are together, but they think about each other often and try not to miss each other too much. They write frequently now.

29. one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart In any of our AU’s, its very easy for Aether and Vergil to have a bad ending. One misstep can end up in Aether in a bad case of depression and disappearing for good and Vergil going back to being cold as stone.

30. one headcanon about this OTP that mends it We’ve got more AUs where this misstep doesn’t happen than AUs where it does ovo

TADAH

[tavis-of-bannorn]

"Are you from Tennessee?" The small woman winked, an arm leaning against the nearest object to prop herself. "Cuz you're the only ten I--" Turned out that was a tent. The structure collapsing, Samantha found herself tangled in tarp.

Flirt with my muse meme

Tavis gave the brightest and most amused laugh that he had in him once the tarp fell upon her. Maybe that was discourteous, but it was pretty amusing. And she was attempting to flirt with him in words he didn’t understand in the slightest. What is Tennesse? He wondered, but quickly moved to untangle her from the tarp, shaking his head with the most insufferable smirk in Thedas.“You aren’t very good at this are you, Da’elgara?” He chuckled, placing his hands on her waist and lifted her up after he untangled her, still crouched down before her. “I don’t even know what a… ‘Tennessee’ - is.” When he said the name, it sounded strange as if he had no idea how to pronounce it, because he didn’t at all.“If you wanted to kiss me… you could have just said so.” His smirk lingered and he booped her nose.

[tavis-of-bannorn]

A stack of cupcakes in the shape of butts are left on a plate, accompanied by a note that contained simply a drawing of a winking sun.

Tavis gave a charmed laugh when he saw the cupcakes left for him. It was quite obvious who they were from even without the sun. After finishing one he set the rest aside. But as soon as he took the first bite into that frosty behind, Tavis’ eyes twinkled with a devious notion. One he acted upon as soon as Solas left the rotunda. He left a cupcake on Solas’ desk while he was away and attached a note with a poorly drawn winking face on it. It truly looked like a child had drawn it, because that was how atrocious Tavis’ drawing skills were. After he had gifted Solas with a prime example of his elven glory, Tavis went to find Sam and finally spotted her, giving her a familiar chuckle.“Thank you Da’elgara.” He bent down and kissed her cheek before giving a wicked grin. “They are delicious and were put to good use.”@darkenedsmile

[smolpocketmonstercoffee]

Vivienne for her hats, Iron Bull for his horns, Varric has a good reading voice, Josephine tells him all sorts of fun stories that get that little boy giggling. He likes being carried by Mother Giselle. He likes Dorian's reading voice too (helps that Dorian later becomes Teva to Aether's Tama, thanks IB for getting him started on that)

HAPPY HATCH DAY 🐣 Aether's leading panic as Inquisitor has less to do with leading the Inquisition than it does every time his two year old son keeps sneaking away from his nanny, usually to be found an hour later in someone's arms being carried or silently pestering someone to read to him

Thank you!

(Does the kid have a favourite person/auntie/uncle to “pester”? :-))

👉👌 Da'elgara Sammy

Send 👉👌 to find out how/if my muse would fuck yours

@darkenedsmile“Da’elgara,” he smirked with a low chuckle and gave her a soft kiss. “With you how could it not be fun? Playful and carefree.” “And I muse admit, I do have a particularly difficult time, not teasing you,” he chuckled. “Perhaps you’d like that,” he winked.

It had been what felt like ages. The silence of the lack of a small woman was waiting to be filled. The time had come. Literally out of nowhere, there came a familiar, frizzy, curly mess. And she came with TP. For both personal and pranking needs.

Tavis glanced behind him and his brow raised slightly when he saw…“Da’elgara? What are those strange tubes of paper you are holding in your arms?” he walked up to her curiously.

[smolpocketsmonsters]

The Cardinal chuckled, absolutely agreeing. "I'm doing what I love thanks to you, and the Inquisition, and Dael's having a blast, seeing all sorts of strange and wonderful people and things. I don't think he's ever seen a nuggalope before!" the parent pointed out with a lap.

And then, Aether paused briefly, noticing something outside of the infirmary tent and he sighed, "oh dear..." and he got up to see what was the matter. It was the nanny with his son, the boy's face crinkled in a sulken pout, cheeks red from tears. He had gotten fussy and hadn't been willing to calm down until he got to be with his father. Aether only thanked the woman and gathered his boy in his arms and returned inside.

"Da'elgara, you remember Kaaras, don't you?" he said softly to the boy, watching him rub one eye with a fist and the child spied the qunari and sniffled, nodding. "Will you say hello?" After a long moment, Dael gave a small, shy wave, and his father smiled fondly.

Aether || closed

smolpocketsmonsters‌:

Aether mildly shook his head. “I think he’s unfortunately very used to us moving around. He goes where my work takes me,” he said with a sigh. Unless where his work took him was dangerous, like the Fallow Mire with its plague. That much went unsaid though. “I suppose its not too different from how I grew up in the clan, but… just us is different than an entire clan. I’m very lucky I have people who can take care of him when I can’t. But I know he likes it here, there’s lots of people. I feel bad for Lady Vivenne’s poor hats though,” he chuckled.

It wasn’t unknown to Skyhold that the healer’s little boy loved to be around people, and Vivenne had thankfully humored the little boy when he had wandered to her, giving him her attention and reading to him after he had tugged a book out of her stack. She got to discover that he really liked her pointy Orlesian hats though, especially after he had left the thing all rumpled a few days later when he had been seen carrying it around like a teddy bear. She took it in good stride though. Much to Aether’s relief.

The man was Dalish, so Kaaras had assumed moving around for him was the norm. He heard that many clans often moved about because it was too dangerous to stick to one location for too long. Orlais was especially dangerous, considering their horrific hunting parties. It put a sour taste in the Inquisitor’s mouth at the very thought of such actions. The Dalish were not pests to be hunted and mounted upon a wall… 

Kaaras raised a brow. He never would have thought Vivienne to be someone open minded to children, let alone those who ended up destroying her precious belongings. While the Inquisitor certainly got along with Vivienne, they had opinions that differed in certain areas, and while they were even on good terms, Kaaras knew that Vivienne did many things for her own gain in power. There was a strict distance that they put between each other, even though he was sure if she were ever in danger, he’d stop at nothing to help her and vice versa. If there was one thing he knew Vivienne wanted, it was for this Inquisition (and him) to succeed. 

“That’s rather surprising,” he muttered with a small laugh. “Either way, it’s good to hear you’re both settling in. I’d hate for you to be uncomfortable here.” 

[tavis-of-bannorn]

☁ ((may or may not be redundant but ayyyy))

There was thunder outside the Tavern. The lighting struck on occasion bringing about a shaking crash. He couldn’t sit still. Unlike usual. Generally he was as composed and calm as a lake. As steady as a soft flowing current. This was always an issue. When the clouds rolled in and electricity filled his core. He had to move. To do… something.Tavis ran a long finger idly over the rim of his mug then stopped. Staring into space trying to calm the jolts that threatened to touch his magic. He wanted to reach out. To pull it and caress it. He gritted his teeth.His fingernails tapped idly along the wooden table. Rapping in a rhythmic motion as they struck the surface.He glanced at Sam then looked away. Tap. Tap. Tap.He looked over at Sam more fully now. His eyes glimmering as the lightning struck again.
