#dragon age rana

[mosswiind]

Neve and Rana absolutely spent their 20s sleeping together in a friends with benefits situation until Rana caught feelings and got a big girl job as a Templar.

I feel like Rana got the job and asked Neve to move in with her, make a go of something real.

Neve bolted but still Cares so they work cases together.

and that has to be enough.

But Rana pines and worries, especially if Neve gets in deep with the Threads.

Rana, who knows the system is broken and won't ever do what she wants it to, but believing she can change it.

Neve, who is unwilling to be a metaphor.

They orbit each other like sad planets and move on. Neve does, at least.

this is so important to me

[hmslusitania]

I see polls about the faction contacts but what about the other NPCs you know?? To romance, to flirt with, to become BFFs with, to gaze at… whatever context you prefer

[therookandthecrow]

I'm thinking of my canon Rook Lethanavir (aka Aloisius) and Lucanis getting married and how so many people want for it to be a high-profile event as Lucanis is the First Talon, and he and my Rook are like, "No, no, no! We want a low-profile wedding with just us and our closest friends."

I can actually see the two of them eloping and choosing to get married in Nevarra instead of Antiva and they both act coy about it until someone outside their closest friend circle sees the wedding bands on each of them and pries into it until my Rook who has a worse poker-face than he thinks he has admitted that they got married.

[There is a lot more under the cut; now I need to design the wedding wings for Lethanavir and Lucanis. Hmm.]

Their remaining companions after [redacted] all are given invitations, along with other friends they'd made along the way, such as Antoine and Evka. Due to the fact that they've kept the Lighthouse, everyone is able to travel to the wedding in a very timely manner. By then, Lucanis was accustomed to the swarm of spirits of curiosity that wanted to attend said wedding as well. He actually found the Necropolis a comfort, especially when getting married to the love of his life.

Not everyone was happy for the married couple, as Davrin's unrequited crush on Lucanis wasn't just something he can get over in a short period of time. Even though he'd found a relationship with Rook's former-wife. Dhaveira, he feels as if he is wasting her time as using her as a placement for the person whom he had wanted more. With that said, he grows to love her and to see her as more than a "replacement" for Lucanis and appreciate what she has to offer.

Neve and Rana will likely have gotten together by that point in time, although Lucanis didn't get over his crush on her overnight, even after he got into a relationship with my Rook. It was actually due to an unintended suggestion from Lethanavir about something completely different that prompted Rana and Neve's relationship. With that said, Lethanavir feels less guilty about "stealing" Neve's boyfriend.

Because I don't like any of the non-romanced companions remaining lonely if Rook romances the person who they would have romanced if otherwise, I like to give everyone a partner, so Bellara gets together with Yenarel, seemingly unable to rekindle a relationship with Irelin. Emmrich and Strife are as happy as ever with one another, raising Manfred together in-between their respective duties.

Taash is still grieving over Harding, and they are not ready for someone new for quite a long time. I like to think that they eventually kindle something with Seer Rowan after some amount of years, after they get time to mourn Harding and not feel as if they are replacing her. Lethanavir's guidance helps Taash a lot with this, that being said, processing both their mother's death and Harding's.

Viago and Teia are at the wedding of course, as are Vorgoth, Myrna and other friends whom both Lucanis and Lethanavir have from their respective factions, even though Lucanis sadly had far fewer friends than Rook did, due to his trust issues. With that said, he gained not just a husband, but a whole family's worth of friends as well from his time in the Veil guard.

Hold the phone.

Why the hell did they pair Neve up with Lucanis if Rana was RIGHT THERE???

[parasympatheticnervoussystem909]

why does neve gallus have the most intense homosexual energy with every single female character she talks to

[mittos]

I’ve been playing BG3 for days and it just reminded me about my dragon age characters and their lovers (Especially Anders cause I’m romancing gale and I miss Anders <3)

[displacer-beasts]

I just realized Rana is there helping you in the Bataris fight

[mosswiind]

Neve and Rana breaking up sometime in their twenties

“Neve, please, it's going to work -”

“Rana, the system isn't going to do what you want it to. You can't fix it from the inside. Believe me, plenty of people have tried.”

“Are we even talking about the Order anymore?”

“I'm not a metaphor, Rana.”

“Can I still count on you?”

“For cases? Always.”

“That's - okay.”

“If you need any more lamp oil, let me know.”

"If you need anything -"

"Please don't."

[linka-from-captain-planet]

even more Neve and Rana because they deserve a nice cozy cuddle

[rippedisgood]

I ship Rana/Neve and I'll die on this hill.

🎄 Holiday One Shots 🎄

I’m taking a break from my other WIPs for some short one shots set on or around the winter solstice in Thedas post-VG bc why not. Perhaps a bit unhinged of me to commit to something right before an actual real life holiday but I’m trying to write shorter no pressure things so I’m using this as an exercise in doing that

Anyway, I’ll be posting them every day as a countdown to Christmas and keeping track of them here c:

🎁 Day One: Silver Bells Emmrich invites Strife to Nevarra for the first time after the events in VG. Mostly fluff w/ a sprinkle of angst about their relationship being undefined with special guest star, Manfred. 🎁 Day Two: Baby, It's Cold Outside Neve is reflecting on the months since the Evanuris were defeated and a recent case that went poorly when Rana comes to cheer her up. Fluff and angst and Neve being Bad At Feelings™

smooches 😘

something i don't think gets talked about NEARLY ENOUGH regarding Dragon Age: Veilguard: If you pick certain options and let enough banters play out, MULTIPLE companions will for all intents and purpose signal their plan to change factions post-game.

Taash can become an honorary Antivan Crow and seems to be legit into the idea by game's end (also Harding like the cape). Like, if they were a returning companion in DA5 I could EASILY see them having joined up (or at least become associated).

Bellara can flat out ask Neve to join the Shadow Dragons. (edit: OR apparently can ask to join the Mourn Watch?!?!)

Davrin can signal he's planning to spend a LOT of time with the Veil Jumpers and the griffons once this is all over (and a big part of his banter sequence with Bellara AND his tertiary content with Rook involve his realizing that the Veil Jumpers' aims are different than the Dalish he grew up with).

Like, that's FANTASTIC. No one is ever permanently any one thing, and I love the idea of some of the companions realizing "hey, actually, this works better" and they've built those connections and networks and so hey, Antivan Crow Taash? Sure, Teia will make them a cape. Shadow Dragon Bellara? Hey, they took the ex-templar Rana, they'll easily take her. Etc.
