if you're wondering who wrote davrin, neve and harding: john dombrow, sheryl chee and lukas kristjanson are three senior writers on datv and we still don't know which characters they worked on. so yeah. that's probably the case

[literallybyronic]

[felassan]

Trick Weekes: "And I just reached out to him, so I can confirm that John Dombrow, who worked on Garrus and Javik on Mass Effect 3, was the writer for Davrin. :)" [source]

John Dombrow is the writer for Davrin!!

[dalishious]

John Dombrow, who wrote Javik and Garrus, wrote Davrin!

I'm a Garrus Hater and I've never recruited Javik so this means nothing to me sorry

[ndostairlyrium]

John Dombrow worked on Garrus and Javik??

DA Review Series: Dragon Age Day Short Stories

<<< Previous Review: Tevinter Nights

There are seven stories, all set after Tevinter Nights. As with other short stories, I'll talk a little about the entire collection, and then about each one individually.

Title: Dragon Age Day Short Stories 2020-2022 Author(s): Various Publication Year(s): 2020, 2021, 2022 In-World Year: ~9:45+ Dragon Verdict: While I felt all of these stories were too short, they are wonderful snippets for introducing us to the factions in Veilguard, as well as some locations. They're just enough to pique our interest and add to the hype!

Title: Minrathous Shadows Author: Sheryl Chee Publication Year: 2020 In-World Year: 9:45+ Dragon Verdict: while I'm always down to read a story where a slave owner gets what's coming to them, this story feels very lean and leaves a lot to be inferred. The Shadow Dragons are never explicitly mentioned, though the Viper is referenced. I'm excited to see more of this faction in game.

Title: The Next One Author: Brianne Battye Publication Year: 2020 In-World Year: 9:45+ Dragon Verdict: This one also suffers from being a little too short, but I love seeing Evka Ivo's Warden origin story. It's fantastic and tells us a bit about her values, and why she and Antoine might be so compatible.

Title: Ruins of Reality Author: John Dombrow Publication Year: 2020 In-World Year: 9:45+ Dragon Verdict: Look, anything happening in Arlathan Forest is something I want to know about. And I loved seeing Strife and Irelin again. Quests for the Veil Jumpers are gonna a trip!

Title: The Wake Author: Mary Kirby Publication Year: 2020 In-World Year: 9:45+ Dragon Verdict: I love Illario and feel bad for the guy in this story, but Viago is the real star. He doesn't have the same sympathy for Illario that I or Teia have, and that adds just enough humor to keep me guessing about Lucanis. Does Viago know something Illario doesn't? Hmmm...

Title: The Flame Eternal Author: Sylvia Feketekuty Publication Year: 2021 In-World Year: 9:52 + 9:22 Dragon Verdict: Very short but sweet - a great intro for Emmrich. This story reintroduces us to The Mourn Watch, as well Emmrich Volkarin. It's recounted from the present, stating "30 years ago, in 9:22 Dragon" so we know the narrator is in ~9:52 Dragon. We also know that Emmrich is a bit older in present day, so this seems like an extra treat to see him younger and still a romantic!

While short and sweet, it's almost too much of either to offer much lore, but it is a great character introduction and makes me very curious to learn more about The Mourn Watch!

Title: Won't Know When Author: Brianne Battye Publication Year: 2021 In-World Year: ~9:45 Dragon Verdict: Ahhhhhhh. This is the most sweet — and grim — little story ever. I LOVE Evka and Antoine and I love that they get to be in love, despite the madness that is Thedas and the horror that is being a Grey Warden. I am rooting for them!

Title: As We Fly Author: Lukas Kristjanson Publication Year: 2022 In-World Year: 9:45+ Dragon Verdict: "The Crows rule Antiva, and Treviso will be free." I love all the Crows stories we've had so far, but this one has me the most hyped for Treviso as a location. I can't wait to wreak havoc on the Antaam and maybe get in another duel with an Arishok? *wink wink*

Kaleidoscope

Year of the OTP December prompt.

~~

Summary:

A group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope.

~~

Dean and Cas had been together for some time, and for Christmas Dean leads Cas on a scavenger hunt, note by note, to lead them to their destination for ten days vacation.

Along the way, they revisit special places and moments, everything that has brought them closer together.

Cas always knew that Dean sometimes had trouble with words, but in the end, the right ones are said.

~~

“Ready for the holidays, Clarence?” Meg asked, looking uncharacteristically soft and comfortable curled up on Cas’ couch with a mug of hot chocolate. She took a sip and frowned. “Seriously, no booze?!”

There she was. Cas hid a smile behind his own mug.

“We’re going gift shopping in half an hour, and in case you forgot, my car is in the shop,” Cas reminded her, and Meg rolled her eyes.

“Clarence, your car has one foot in its grave. Ken-doll just doesn't want to spoil your Christmas by telling you so, so he's dragging it out.”

It was Cas’ turn to roll his eyes, and he took a gulp of his hot chocolate even as he scrolled on his phone.

“The shop is an hour away. The manager is holding my order, and they close in two hours. Can we go soon?” he pleaded.

Meg smirked at him.

“Look at you, all organised about presents an’ shit. Something's got you in the Christmas spirit!”

Cas grinned, feeling his face heat. He drank another mouthful of hot chocolate, trying to hide his pink cheeks, but Meg snickered at him.

“Dean made plans for us. He hasn't said what we’re doing or anything, but I'm supposed to leave everything up to him.” He gnawed on his lower lip a little, unused to giving up the reins. “Maybe I should ask Sam if I need to do anything…”

“Leave it alone!” Meg ordered with a laugh. “Ken-doll might surprise you.”

Cas nearly dropped his cocoa in shock. Meg was pretty sparse on praise for or faith in Dean, so for her to even suggest Dean had a handle on things was wildly out of character. Cas narrowed his eyes at her.

“What do you know, Meg?” he demanded.

She winked at him, sipping her hot cocoa and not saying a word. He kept staring at her, cocking one eyebrow up in question, and she rolled her eyes again.

“I'm not Dean, Clarence,” she pointed out sarcastically. “The dombrow doesn't work on me.”

*lolsnort* I love that my thirst post got the seat of honour here.

Also, Cas being smitey will never not be hot. There's a reason I always write Dean going weak in the knees for the dombrow. 😜
