May the Dread Wolf Take You

Written for @in-arlathan for the @dasmutquisition this year. I had the absolute best time figuring out this pairing, but I'd like to think I did them justice.

Mahriel and Fen'harel get up to some sexy shenanigans in the fade, but their time is limited...A03

Mo fen: My Wolf Vhenan: My Heart

"Come back to bed." A soft voice whispered in her ear, nuzzling her hair aside to kiss her neck as his arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her back snug against his chest.

"But the sunrise is so beautiful this morning."

"It's the same as every other sunrise here...it's our dream world, after all."

"You said yourself, that's not true--that The Fade is a pocket of the world as it was before The Veil."

He smiled against her neck as her fingers traced little patterns on his bare arms. "So, you were listening."

"Mo fen, I listen to every word you say, even when you're deliberately trying to distract me with that wicked tongue of yours."

It had been a complete accident, their meeting each other. She'd found herself wandering aimlessly in an unfamiliar part of the fade feeling lost and alone after facing Tamlen as a ghoul and having him beg her to kill him--but it beat the nightmares she was now used to having thanks to the taint in her blood. Imagine her surprise when she stumbled across The Dread Wolf himself, just as hot-blooded and impulsive and cocky and ready to fight as the stories warned, but the mural depictions of him her clan had come across when traveling through the Dales and other parts of the world, had not done him justice. Between his blue eyes with flecks of purple in them, lean muscles, his strong thighs and his perfect bottom, he was absolutely breathtaking. But it was also his brain, the knowledge he had of the fade, magic, and history that had kept her coming back–and his voice: sensual and smooth…she could listen to him talk forever and never get tired of it. It wasn't like she could even talk about it…who would believe her anyways–the elvhen gods were real and one of them was warming her proverbial bed and giving her the filthiest dreams? The Chantry would be out for her head and she didn't need another reason for Dalish clans to be mistrusted and mistreated. So, he remained her dirty little secret–her sexy and confident and Fade-loving dirty little secret.

She bit her lip, holding back a sigh as he scraped his teeth gently across her pulse point, eager to resume the night's activities before she had to wake up and leave him once more. He'd been sleeping for almost a millennia, but he was starting to find that these stolen moments together weren't near enough. Days had turned to weeks since they'd met and created this place as their haven and getaway, but the sexual tension between them had been palpable from the start, finally coming to a head a couple weeks before and every day since, which had been exactly the distraction she'd needed from having the weight of the world on her shoulders. He released her and took a step back, her lips turning down into a pout until she turned around, fully taking him in as he held out his hand for her to take. The glow from the sunrise behind her painted his skin in a red-orange light, highlighting the contours of his body, his dark locs disheveled from their night together, barely getting a wink of sleep. A smirk lit up his face–glad he could affect her like that–as her eyes roved appreciatively over him, words escaping her as her hand slipped into his, tugging him closer, their lips crashing together in a heated kiss.

The railing was suddenly behind him, digging into his back but he didn't care; he just wanted her– His blood had been simmering at a low boil since he'd found her out on the balcony, wind ruffling her hair and making her see-through dressing gown billow around her frame from where it was cinched in the middle, and leaving nothing to the imagination. His mouth was hungry and demanding against her own as he angled her head to deepen the kiss, running the soft fabric through his fingers the touch trailing down her sternum before pulling the sides of her dressing gown open, her breasts spilling out. A broken moan dropped from her lips as he cupped her breasts, soft fingers tracing icy circles around her nipples and making them harden. The blast of cryo magic sent a shiver skittering across her skin, Fen'harel breaking the kiss to smile smugly at her, unique ice patterns appearing wherever he touched, the cold spiking her arousal. And that was before he headed south, sliding his fingers down her stomach and dipping between her legs to tease her.

She leaned in and put her mouth by his ear, sucking the pointed tip into her mouth her bare chest smashed against his. "If you don't take me back to bed this instant, I will have you right against this railing."

Not a bad idea, seeing as how just that little suggestion had him half hard and wanting, but as the quaint little saying she had uttered several times since they met went, the Dread Wolf planned to do the taking.

"Not today I think–today I want you on silk. But we'll table that for next time."

She shuddered at the wolfish, predatory grin on his face before he draped her legs over his hips, fingers stroking down her legs, locking her ankles behind him and lifting her up into his arms. His fingers dug into the skin of her hips, red marks blooming where he touched, making her utter a very creative swear under her breath as he stalked back into the room, depositing her in the center of their bed and kneeling on the floor before her to place a gentle kiss on her hip bone. This woman had tamed the mighty Dread Wolf and quite literally brought him to his knees. Gentle hands widened the gap of her thighs, opening her to him as he dipped his head to her core, inhaling the scent of her and growling low in his throat. He cupped her rear, lifting her hips to his mouth and pressing a gentle kiss to her clit, her toes curling and back arching as she canted her hips invitingly, hands curling in his locs and tugging at his scalp as she writhed under his careful attentions. The tip of his tongue teased her mercilessly–tracing her slit to gather her flavors into his mouth and flicking her clit in small circles before dipping it briefly inside her. His mouth closed over her dripping sex and sucked hard, tongue flicking at her clit before sucking the little nub between his lips and tugging it gently.

It wasn't enough.

She tugged his hair harder, dislodging his mouth and tugging him up to look him in the eyes, a spark of lightning dancing on her tongue as she licked her lips. "Dread Wolf, take me."

The very first time she had uttered those words in the throes of passion she had wrecked him and made him lose control, leaving her a mess, but now he looked forward to her crying it out every time. They challenged each other in ways neither had expected, control a game between the two of them that neither wanted to lose. He smiled and took himself in hand, teasing her with the head of his erection, rubbing his shaft up and down her slick folds. It was probably for the best that she was just as impatient as he was--who knew when she would be torn from sleep and away from him. She barely had time to think, before he grasped her hips and lifted, pushing into her slowly, filling her to the hilt. His hands wrapped around her hips, drawing her closer before pulling his hips back and leaning down to capture her lips with his own as he pressed forward into her, swallowing her contented sigh as he thrust into her again.

"Vhenan…" He breathed, glad they were both teetering at the edge of ecstasy, because he could already feel her slipping away from him.

Her heat surrounded him, his lover muttering unintelligible things against his lips, and he rolled his hips back and then sank back into her, his thrusts quickening without warning. His finger sought her clit as he rocked his hips, his mouth on hers, one hand cupping her naked breast and the other circling her clit, as he took her hard and fast. She stretched with him, keeping up with the pace he’d set, her body bending like a bow string as he filled her, burrowing himself into her relentlessly, and all she could do was rock her hips to match the heady and frantic rhythm. The pleasurable pressure that had been building inside her had reached its breaking point and she couldn't hold on any longer. His eyes bored into hers, sparkling with desire and delight as he watched her face--he loved the face she made when she came.

"By the Dread Wolf…Fen!" She screamed, body arching and spasming as she climaxed, her core clenching around his shaft, nails raking lightning down his back as he pulled out, her name dropping from his lips on a low growl as he came, seed spilling across her stomach.

She woke in her bedroll drenched in sweat and slightly sticky from their excursions, her heart a little tight--him calling her 'vhenan' hadn't escaped her notice. He'd never called her that before, so whenever their next encounter happened, they had to talk about it. But neither knew when that would be, their time together always precious and fleeting and random. Maybe one day they would figure out where he was in her world, and they could do this for real without only dreams and Fade-tongue to keep them company. He was falling just as hard as she was, and that wonderful thought was enough to keep her going until they saw each other again…

Are you ready for the Smutquisition?

The Second Annual Dragon Age Smutquisition is accepting nominations from 12:00AM US EST on January 1st to 11:59 US EST on January 7th.

You can go to the tag set at AO3 and start your nominations!

The nomination screen will allow you to nominate one fandom and up to 20 relationships. You must use “Dragon Age - All Media Types” as your fandom. Failure to do so may delay your nominations being approved.

Then you can enter your relationships. The pairing/group must have at least one Dragon Age character in it. This character can be from any Dragon Age media - games, books, comics, etc. Pairings can be canon, non-canon, or sheer crack. We also allow poly nominations as long as there is one DA character. This exchange does allow crossover nominations with other fandoms. 

We are not allowing canonically underage Dragon Age characters to be nominated in this exchange. Because of the nature of this exchange, we are not accepting platonic relationships. 

For the purposes of this challenge, the Dragon Age OC Protagonists will be considered different characters based on their gender and surname. This means that there are three options (male, female, and non-binary) for any Dragon Age OC character. When nominating an OC Protagonist, please keep this in mind and specify which option you want. 

Please do not nominate a custom/individual OC Protagonist (IE: Maria Cadash/Varric Tethras). When you do your request and pick your pairings you can provide additional details, such as a preferred name or physical description, in your request. You may also link to your OC information.

Other original characters are allowed as long as they are “general” characters. For example: “Chantry Mother”, “Merchant’s Guild Member”, or “Templar” would all be acceptable. If you have questions, ask the moderators.

The moderator team will be nominating the Nominations Spreadsheet as often as possible. Please be patient as we anticipate a big turn out this year! 

If you need a step-by-step nomination guide, we gotchu. Check out it out.

Anyone with an AO3 account can nominate relationships. That does not mean you are required to sign up for the exchange. All relationships can only be nominated once.

Smutquisition Nominations - Let’s Get Down and Dirty

Every year we ask people to nominate relationships for Smutquisition. The reason for this is due to how AO3 works! In effect - nominating relationships gives us a set of “relationship tags” that can then be requested and offered during sign ups. 

Only relationships nominated into the Tag Set can be requested and offered. This gives us a smaller pool than the entire existing DA Fandom tag set (trust us, we’ve looked it’s MASSIVE), which helps with matching, AND allows people to request and offer things that don’t exist yet by making their own relationships in the nomination form! You want to be the first person to ever make or give all the DAO companions in a stack? You definitely can be, just make sure to nominate it! 

Nominations Open on January 1st, 2022 at midnight US EST!

Starting then, go to the Tag Set on AO3. In the top right hand corner (shown here, circled in red), click nominate.

The nomination screen will allow you to nominate one fandom and up to 20 relationships. You must use “Dragon Age - All Media Types” as your fandom. Failure to do so may delay your nominations being approved. Then you can enter your relationships. 

The pairing/group must have at least one Dragon Age character in it. This character can be from any Dragon Age media - games, books, comics, etc. Pairings can be canon, non-canon, or sheer crack. We also allow poly nominations as long as there is one DA character. This exchange does allow crossover nominations with other fandoms. 

We are not allowing canonically underage Dragon Age characters to be nominated in this exchange. Because of the nature of this exchange, we are not accepting platonic relationships.

For the purposes of this challenge, the Dragon Age OC Protagonists will be considered different characters based on their gender and surname. This means that there are three options (male, female, and non-binary) for any Dragon Age OC character. When nominating an OC Protagonist, please keep this in mind and specify which option you want.

Tags that already exist will automatically fill in (Male Lavellan/Dorian Pavus), while tags that don’t exist (Nonbinary Lavellan/Solas) will not. That’s okay. You can submit it as is without the autofill. 

Importantly - moderators cannot see who nominated what. If there is a question about your nominations, they will be posted here and on Twitter. 

After you’ve nominated (you don’t have to nominate 20 relationships - you can nominated less than that, as long as you nominated one), hit submit. 

Moderators will review your nominations as quickly as possible and add them to the Nominations Spreadsheet. Please be patient as there’s only so many of us and a LOT of you (which we love). 

You can check your nominations at any time to see if they’ve been approved! Go to the Tag Set and click “My Nominations” in the top right. 

If your nominations haven’t been reviewed yet, they’ll look like this: 

NOTE: AO3 shows us nominations in random order. So it may take some time for it all to be approved. 

After your nominations are approved, ones that are “allowed” will show a green checkmark. Rejected nominations will have a red “x”. Usually nominations are rejected for not having a gender/background modifier or for being platonic. 

You can always come here to see if we posted a question about your nomination. Replying to the problem nomination post or sending us an ask on anon (or contacting us through Discord or Twitter) will help us correct your nomination and add them through different channels. 

The only way to guarantee your ship is in the Smutquisition Tag Set is to nominate it yourself or check to make sure somebody else did! Please review the Nominations Sheet before nominating! 

Nominations close on January 7th at 11:59pm US EST and sign ups open at 12:00am US EST January 8th!

This exchange only accepts works that are rated Explicit or Mature and are focused on sexual relationships. Participating in the exchange means that you understand and accept that and that you are of legal age to create and consume content rated Explicit. All participants must be 18 years of age or older.

No creator will be forced to create content they do not wish to. For this reason, we ask people to be very clear and thorough when filling out their forms and only choose pairs they wish to create for. Beyond that, the only restriction for creators is adhering to the DNWs and following these rules.

All content consumers must state what they do not want (DNW) for people fulfilling their requests. No consumer can be gifted content that has a “do not want” in it. For this reason, we ask people to be very clear and thorough when filling out their forms.

We accept OCs of any gender presentation - please indicate if the OC protagonist you submit is male, female, non-binary, or of another gender presentation. If the moderators have questions, we will post them and ask you to contact us.

This exchange does accept works that depict non-consensual and dubiously consensual sexual activity but they must be tagged appropriately. This exchange will also accept works dealing with abuse, substance use, and other darker themes. We also ask that they be tagged appropriately. Works that are not tagged appropriately will be removed from the exchange and creators will be contacted about the rule violation. At a bare minimum, creators must use or explicitly opt not to use the Warning System on AO3. If you do not wish to tag darker content, please select "choose not to use archive warnings."

You are obligated to deliver one finished work by the exchange due date (March 7th, 8:00PM US EST). If there is going to be an issue, please contact the moderators or default on your own. All outstanding works at due date and time will be defaulted as a "no show" and you will be banned from the exchange until a work is submitted.

This exchange is anonymous, please do not post your creation or reveal your recipient until after the creators or revealed, then you may post wherever you like. If you post early, you will be in violation of the rules and will be contacted.

Stories and art must be written specifically for this exchange and cannot have been previously created and posted. They cannot be part of a series that is posted until after creator reveals. They can feature OCs you have used before, but the work must stand alone and be complete.

Depending on the extent of rule violation and the amount of violations, people may be banned from future exchanges, asked to take corrective action, or works may be removed from the exchange. The Moderator team has sole discretion in making these decisions.

Wolf’s Smutquisition Treats

while i did not officially sign up for @dasmutquisition, i did write a couple of treats on the coattails of nuri’s enthusiasm for the event. here those are, now that authors’ and artists’ identities have been revealed.

~*~*~

Mosaic for ao3afterdark

Rating: Explicit Ship: Isabela/Zevran Word Count: 1464 Content Warnings: Explicit sex, Strong language Summary:  

“Isabela!” a telltale Antivan accent calls out through the crowd.

She knows who it is before she even finishes spinning on her heels to see him. She’d know that voice anywhere, and blonde hair and tattooed brown skin peeking out from under his mask only serve to confirm what she already knows. “Squiggles? What’re you doing here?”

“I could ask you the same,” Zevran asks.

AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37579939

More Than Okay for SpicyIsopods

Rating: Explicit Ship: Isabela/Fenris Word Count: 1330 Content Warnings: Explicit sex, Emetophilia (vomit in a kink context), Strong language Summary:  

“You’re sure you want this?” Fenris asks for what must be the twentieth time. He knows he’s being overly cautious to the point of absurdity. “Yes, Buttons,” she says, gentle and patient, “I’m sure. Are you sure you want this? We don’t have to, you know. It’s not like I’ll go without if you’d rather do something different. I can always get Zevran to indulge me the next time he’s in town.”

...this second one is clearly for nuri, not for myself, hah.

[dasmutquisition]

I didn’t sign up, but I want to participate

You still can! Anyone with an AO3 Account can create “treats” for the exchange. Treats are completed works (fic of any length or art) for one of the pairings in the exchange. You can choose ANY pairing to create a treat for.

Requests Spreadsheet

Requests Database

Treatless List

How do I submit a completed Treat?

Easy!

Go to The Smutquisition Collection on AO3.

On the top right, click “Post to Collection”

Fill out the form as you normally would. Under “Associations” you will see the work is already listed in the collection (2022_smutquisition.) You will simply need to fill out the “Gift This Work to” field by filling in the name of the person whose request you are completing (found in the database or spreadsheet)

As we get closer to reveals, I will release a list of people without treats as well so we can try and see if everyone can get a gift and a treat!

All treats must be finished, completed works of any length fic or any kind of clean, finished art. They must adhere to the DNWs and must have explicit sexual content for the pair/group requested.

Happy creating!

[dasmutquisition]

Assignments have been sent!

Assignments have been sent to the email attached to your AO3 account. If you do not receive your assignment within a half hour or there is a question or concern, please reach out to us here via ask, on twitter DMs, or at smutquisition@gmail.com

You are assigned to write or draw for someone who requested at least one of the pairings that you offered to write or draw for. Since everyone must put in at least three requests, it is likely that your assignment will include pairings that you did not request or parts of canon you may not be familiar with.

Here’s what is expected of you:

Pick one of the pairings/groups in your assignment (it doesn’t have to be the one you matched on) and start creating!

You must turn in a completed work (fic of 1000 words or more or a completed artwork) by March 7th, 2022 8:00PM US EST.

You must create sexually explicit content for one of the pairs/groups requested by your gift recipient.

You must honor Do Not Wants. All other information in the box, such as OCs, general likes, and prompts are optional. We do gently encourage you to try and keep your recipients likes in mind to the best of your abilities, but do not feel boxed into anything!

You must remain anonymous - the only people who may see what you are creating is your beta reader(s) or anyone you have offering constructive feedback for your art. If you have a question for your intended recipient, reach out to the moderator team and we will ask it.

Do not post your created fanwork publicly elsewhere beyond the collection until after the creators are revealed.

If you are having problems meeting the March 7th deadline let the moderator team know as soon as possible by emailing smutquisition@gmail.com, messaging us here or on twitter, or defaulting via AO3. 

There is no penalty to default - unless you default by “not showing” at the deadline. You may default at any time and your assignment will be put out to pinch hit. 

All stories and art must be posted by March 7th, 8:00PM US EST on AO3. You may continue to edit your fanwork until March 14th 10:00AM US EST, but it is imperative that you have a complete work submitted on March 7th. The mods will go through posted fanworks to make sure that they are complete, meet the criteria, and do not contain DNWs.

I Don’t Know What I Don’t Want or DNWs for the Indecisive 

The Smutquisition Mods cannot stress enough the use of Do Not Wants (DNWs) in this exchange.The only part of your request that is mandatory for your gifter is adhering for your DNWs. 

Thorough DNWs are important for a smut exchange, in particular. We’ve found an amazing list of Kinks, Tropes, and Cliches at Fanlore which is exhaustive. Please peruse it if your mind is blankly staring at the boxes. 

In addition to these DNWs, please also consider non-smut DNWS (ie: non-smutty tropes like angst or fluff, specific characters you’d rather not see, or dynamics you’re not into.) 

When filling out DNWs please remember to be kind to other participants. Because a kink, character, or trope is not for you, does not mean it is necessary to say anything more than “DNW: this thing, this thing, and this thing.” No other explanation is needed! 

Because it is impossible to DNW everything that may potentially squick you, we gently remind participants it is okay to quietly reject a gift if it contains a DNW you didn’t list (or didn’t even know you had!) without penalty to you or the gifter. It happens! But please assume best intentions of gifter and giftee in these situations.

Ready to Sign Up for the Smut? A How-To Guide!

Sign Ups open on January 8th at 12:00am US EST and go through January 15th at 11:59pm US EST!

When sign ups are open, you’ll be able to use the Sign Up Form on AO3 to request and offer your ships! You must have an AO3 account to sign up, if you don’t, please contact the mods through Tumblr, Twitter, or Discord!

When you’re ready to sign up, that link will take you right where you need to go! The form should look like this: 

You’ll have Three Request Boxes. Each request box has 4 fields (Relationships, Additional Tags, Letter, Description.) You must enter information in the fields of three request boxes, but you can add additional request boxes as well. Each request box allows you to select up to 3 relationships, but you must enter one. You can add up to 10 Request boxes to request a maximum of 30 relationships. 

This is what a blank request box looks like:

Now here’s how you fill it out: 

1. Relationships: Pick at least one relationship from the Tag Set (also available on Nomination Sheet) to fill the Relationships field and up to 3. 

2. Additional Tags: Select whether you want fic, art, or both. You must check at least one. If you would like both, select both boxes. 

3. Letter: This is a link to an external website where you can post more information. This is an excellent way to link to information about any OCs you may have, prompts, likes, etc. This is NOT required. You can leave it blank.

4. Description: This is the only part of your request the moderator team can guarantee your gifter can access. You must put any DNWs in this box. Any other information (prompts, OC descriptions, likes) is optional, but your gifter MUST adhere to DNWs. 

If you need more boxes, please feel free to keep adding! You can add up to 10!

Once you’re done with requests, it’s time to add your offers! These are things you’ll make for someone else. It is VITALLY important to only offer ships you feel comfortable creating content for. 

Each offer box has three fields (Relationships, Additional Tags, Comments for Mods). You must have three offer boxes, but you can add up to 10. 

Now Here’s How You Fill It Out:

1. Relationships: Please choose at least one, and up to three, relationships you would like to create content for. There is an “Any” button. If you check Any on ANY of your offer boxes, you can get matched to any request. Choose this option carefully. 

2. Additional Tags: Choose what kind of content you can create for this exchange. 

3. Comments for Mods: You do not have to put anything in this box, but if there is something you think the mods need to know, please feel free. Anything in this box is confidential. 

You may keep adding offer boxes by clicking “add another offer”. When you are done, hit submit! 

You may go to the Collection Page after signing up at any time until Sign Ups Close (January 15th 11:59pm US EST) to edit or delete your sign up! Once sign ups close, your sign up is final! 

If you have any questions, ask here, on discord, or twitter!
