[perplexingly]

The Hinterlands, Day 247.

Dorian: "...You can't be serious."

Gal, shrugging: "It needs doing."

Dorian: "I'm sure it does, but..."

Cassandra: "By the Herald?"

Dorian, muttering: "...Kaffas, when was the last time anyone gave this druffalo a bath?"

Cassandra: "Before it was lost, I assume."

Dorian: "Yes, this was absolutely what I came South for. I lay in my silk robe, by hot springs, dreaming of that weird grassy smell and the faint waft of..."

Cassandra: "Dorian? Shut up."

[Some. Time. Later.]

Dorian: "Do you think they'll have this in the local myths? The history books? 'Ah, remember when the Herald of Andraste gave back me druffalo'..."

Gal: "...That you trying a Fereldan accent?"

Dorian: "I hadn't actually intended to, but I suppose there was rather a tinge of - "

Sera, instantly: "'Muahaha, ooo, look at my shiny silks and my big staff...'"

Dorian: "We do not sound like... All right, Aurelius always sounded like that. It was why he never got invited to parties."

Isn't Vivienne homophobic towards Dorian? Why would they be friends??

no. vivienne has never been homophobic towards dorian. you might me misremembering this interaction:

... where vivienne defends dorian to someone who wrote to her from tevinter. otherwise i have zero idea where you would of even gotten this idea from.

if you did just want to pick reasons why they wouldn't be friends, you could of brought up the fact that dorian just. called her a whore in another piece of banter.

or the many little snipes and jibes they send each others way while talking. but vivienne being homophobic towards dorian is like. not supported anywhere in any sort of canon whatsoever.

Five years ago @hattedhedgehog and I wrote a Dragon Age fic that was mostly an exploration of Qunari and Tal Vashoth culture, as well as non birth family groups.

I’m still incredibly proud of that fic, and of Tama, the leader of those Tal Vashoth

Zero's Fic Binding - Exit Light

Exit Light by Dragonflies_and_Katydids (@dragonflies-and-katydids)

Fandom: Dragon Age: Inquisition

Ship: Iron Bull/Dorian Pavus/Cullen Rutherford

Start Date: 9/13/24

End Date: 9/30/24

Pages: 225

First book bind I'm actually giving to another human. This fic is one of my best friend's favorites - and I found I really liked it too.

Crazy how purple the book cloth looks in photos. It's a DARK navy in person, so the tower and the title POP - but the lightning looks CRAZY cool. It's reflective - the effect is much easier to see in the standing spine photo

The tower is a HUGE theme in this fic - and a good chunk of the story revolves around the fight to not climb up to the top of it and find an alternative way down. I kept that theme for the whole book. The author had quotes at the beginning of every chapter, so those I've pulled out and formatted within the stonework for each chapter headers.

The header for the chapter with the climax of the story is the only header where you see the top of the wall…

Bondage is also a bit of a theme in the fic, ho ho, so there are a few knots and ropes for the page breaks.

Trim for this fucking book was fire. Headbands were also ON FUCKIING POINT.

This book has a sister - it's less attractive, darker sister - for my personal library. I'm so glad I did a trial run. With how small I originally cut everything, the scale of the entire cover was so off that i needed to redo it. AND it cut really horribly because of how small (and complicated) the image was. The color change and the castle angle updated for the real cover is - in my opinion - a great fucking improvement.

Noted to me for next time - this font, dude? Again? REalLy??

Go read Exit Light, and eat through everything Dragonflies has written. They deserve all of those sweet kudos!

please tell me there's fic about that somewhere.

Cullen: *in his office in the morning, attaching his armor piece by piece*

Josephine, Dorian, Vivienne and Leliana: *enter*

Cullen: Uh, good morning? Have you heard of knocking?

Vivienne: Deepest apologies, my dear Commander, but we need to talk about the Orlesian dignitaries who are visiting later today.

Cullen: Can we talk about it a little later? I haven’t had breakfast yet. *fidgets nervously*

Josephine: It won’t take long, Commander.

Leliana: And besides we know you don’t eat breakfast. *eyes suspiciously*

Cullen: *furiously trying to think of something*

Vivienne: The good ambassador has told me that you have refused the dinner invitation and the request to show our guests the barracks.

Cullen: I honestly have work to do, and have no time to be parading around nobles.

Dorian: Do you hear something weird?

Cullen: All I hear is the open door behind you.

Vivienne: But these nobles have deep interest in warfare and you made quite the impact on them at the Winter Palace!

Josephine: And they could be persuaded into sponsoring - I hear something too. Is there a bird upstairs? We really should renovate your roof, Commander.

Leliana: No that is the sound of water. Is someone using your privy upstairs, Commander? *eyebrow lift*

Dorian: *smug grin*

Cullen: *blush* I, uh, I’m sure you’re just hearing noise from outside.

Upstairs: *sound of door opening, steps on the floor, rummaging*

Cullen: *urgently* You know we could continue this discussion at your office, Josephine?

Upstairs: Did you say something, vhenan?

Josephine, Dorian, Vivienne and Leliana: *look at each other and then at Cullen*

Cullen: *covers his face with his hand* No.

Upstairs: No? Well I know you’re not much of a morning person, so fine. Have you seen my trousers?

Vivienne: *about to say something*

Leliana: *stabs Vivienne with her elbow to shut her up*

Dorian: *delighted grin*

Josephine: *having the time of her life*

Cullen: *kicks said trousers from the floor to behind his desk* I don’t know but I definitely think you should stay upstairs for a bit longer.

Upstairs: Oh are you coming back up here? Did you change your mind, Mr. ”I can’t possibly go again yet?”

Cullen: No, no!

Upstairs: Well I suppose twice last night and once this morning is quite a lot.

Dorian: *silent applaud at Cullen*

The ladies: *looking at Cullen from head to toe with very approving nods*

Cullen: Maker’s breath, you’ll be the death of me.

Inquisitor: *slides down the ladder in a flurry of bare legs, wearing no trousers*

Vivienne: Good morning, your worship.

Josephine: I hope you had an invigorating night.

Leliana: And an energising morning.

Dorian: How many times was it for you?

Cullen: Never you mind. *throws the Inquisitor her trousers*

Inquisitor: Six. *catches trousers*

Cullen: *groans and facepalms*

Leliana: Nothing to be embarrassed about, Commander!

Josephine: Six? And three? That’s… amazing.

Dorian: Hell yes it is. *offer to high five with Cullen, switches to the Inquisitor when he doesn’t*

Inquisitor: *high fives Dorian and pulls on trousers* You know you could have said there was someone here.

Cullen: I tried to tell you not to come downstairs.

Inquisitor: Oh I did come downstairs, that was the first one of six, remember?

Cullen: *mortified*

Dorian: *absolutely pissing his pants*

Inquisitor: Anyway, I’ll let you talk about whatever you’re here for.

Vivienne: Oh we wanted to talk to you about the visiting dignitaries too-

Inquisitor: See you in the evening, Cullen, byeee *flees through the open door*

Cullen: I knew everything was going too well for me.

Josephine and Vivienne: *proceed to bombard Cullen with boring questions and duties*

Leliana and Dorian: *continue to insert a lot of double entendres*

[bri-notthecheese]

I couldn't stop thinking about Dorian being the one to write to the other members of the Inquisition about what happened at the end of the battle. About the Inquisitor leaving without saying goodbye. And about Varric, if they didn't already know...

So I wrote his letter to Cassandra <3

And I also wrote her reply T_T

[teamdilf]

Dorian & Solas pretty please?

Here's a snippet from the third chapter of Humbling a God, which explores the weeks Dorian and Solas were fighting together in Minrathous!

He helps Solas over to his bedroll by the fireplace - unlit, because they can’t risk drawing notice, and a healer comes by, offering Solas a potion, which he stares at with distrust. 

Sighing, he takes the potion from Solas, uncorks it, gives it a sniff, finding a perfectly benign elfroot-based healing potion, takes a swig, and then hands it back to him. “It would be against our best interests to poison you, on account of your willingness to take an ass-kicking to protect the city.” Nodding, Solas tips the flask back and then sets it down on the ground beside the bedroll. He hesitates before offering to help Solas undress, considering it may be less awkward to leave it to Tarquin to help before deciding that Solas is liable to be more comfortable with someone he knows. 

Even so, Solas refuses, reminding him that the man is as hard-headed as they come, leaving him with the privilege of watching Solas slowly remove his own armour and then clean and bandage the puncture wounds on his leg. “You won’t be much good in a fight tomorrow so the Viper may want to pick your brain to figure out a strategy to take down the archdemon.”

“I am amenable to such a conversation but will be perfectly fine to fight come morning.” He opens his mouth to protest, but before he can get the words out, Solas says, “I was a war machine for ages upon ages. Pain is familiar and inconsequential.” 

He digs his nails into the palm of his hand to distract from the sudden onset of emotion because it wouldn’t do to cry over his best friend’s ex-boyfriend. “Iris would hate hearing you say that,” he says quietly. 

“That is why I say it to you and not to her.”
