#gonna go kiss neve

[feeshies]

I don't usually like making blatant self inserts but it's been that kind of week

[grin-unsettling]

made another Rook (for parallel playthrough). She's gonna pick Minrathous (for Crow angst) and smooch the detective

[selunesfavouriteprincess]

words can’t describe how much I need to know more about Neve and Rana’s history. did they meet as late teenagers, Rana barely enrolled in Templar training and Neve a curious kid who hadn’t quite grown into her cynical facade yet, both of them hoping for a better Dock Town? or were they both established by the time they met? did Neve waltz into the Templar’s headquarters and decide Rana was the least awful to work with, did Rana’s fellow templars shove her into working with the nosy private eye who couldn’t mind her own business because Rana had the most patience with her, did Rana herself see that Neve had good intentions for the city and secretly start helping her outside of Templar orders? when did they start to realise that they cared about each other, that they’d be upset if the other was hurt on a case? I want to know everything about them

Lucanis and Crows snippets, under a cut due to spoilers.

How would Viago and Teia react to a Crow Rook being romantically involved with Lucanis? "Teia is going to plan the wedding, and insist that Viago give Rook away at the ceremony. Viago will sigh dramatically, lecture Rook about it, and then spend a week picking out the right gloves to wear." [source]

If Illario wasn't locked away, how would he react? "Under any circumstances, Illario would be upset since it's a whole lot of attention that's STILL not on him. He would definitely get drunk at the reception and tell the same two most embarrassing stories about Lucanis over and over until Viago knocked him out and put him upstairs." [source]

With Rook romancing Lucanis, is it possible that Spite could become affection or benevolence? "Spite's basic aspect is defiance. He can be more or less difficult depending on influence (rebellion vs. vindictiveness, etc), but at his core he's always going to be a spirit of "NOPE"" [source]

Lucanis' mother was the heir apparent to House Dellamorte [source]

Does Spite have any kind of feeling about Rook? "Spite is fond of Rook in his own Spite-like way. He and Lucanis agree on the point of trusting Rook over and above other people or themselves. He does go to Rook for help with Lucanis, after all." [source]

For the Lion King reference in Murder of Crows, Mary Kirby went to the cinematic animators and described it as Illario's "Scar at Pride Rock" scene [source]

User: "I cut Lucanis' hair and shaved his beard and I almost feel like I should apologise to him" / Mary Kirby: "Now he can't tell himself from Illario, and you've given them both a complex." [source]

Teia and Viago were half-written by Mary Kirby and half-written by Luke Kristjanson [source]

Lucanis likes his coffee black [source]

Would he judge your coffee order? "As long as it's not boiled, or instant coffee, or whatever that stuff from a can is, he's fine with it. Or at least, he will only judge you silently for it." [source]

What kind of treats does Lucanis like? "Sweet, because it goes better with his coffee. Savory, if somehow he is NOT drinking coffee at that moment." [source]

Lucanis grew his beard and long hair while in the Ossuary. "He hasn't exactly had a haircut in a while." [source, two].

Would Lucanis make Powerpoint presentations about jobs or to talk? "No, he doesn't want to talk to anyone, let alone explain things and present them. That's 300% an Illario thing. That man has a powerpoint to introduce his powerpoint about why you should listen to his powerpoint." [source]

"Lucanis would never be on social media. He'd be on YouTube watching videos of people restoring rusty cutlery with no dialogue until four in the morning." [source] Could he tell when content is manufactured? "Yes. And he gets upset and finds Bellara or Neve (whichever is unluckier) to rant about it." [source]

Lucanis' favorite stove burner? Right front [source]

"Spite doesn't have any concept of physical appearances. It looks the way Lucanis sees himself. Lucanis is never relaxed, even in casual wear." [source]

Along with Lucanis Mary Kirby also wrote Spite [source]

Mary Kirby wrote Illario, Luke Kristjanson wrote the Crow faction quests [source]

Lucanis' perfect date night? "I'm gonna be honest: There is a non-zero chance it would involve assassinating somebody and getting coffee, and I'm not entirely certain which would come first." [source]

Lucanis "has so much [trauma] to sort through, and he could really use some help. Like, a Marie Kondo level of help with that." [source]

What sparks joy for Lucanis? "Coffee, paella, wyverns, knives, REDACTED, book club, REDACTED, revenge..." [source]

Lucanis is older than Illario by a few months [source]

How did Spite feel watching Lucanis fumble after the near-kiss moment with Rook? "Confused. Spite, like most demons, doesn't really get emotions outside its domain. Not doing something that someone clearly wants you to do should make you happy! I mean, honestly, what's better than that, except maybe revenge?" [source]

Did Spite interact much with Manfred? "We wrote a bunch of interactions between them, though I have no idea how many made it in." [source]

This must be my third order, but I feel like this has become the sugar I need... How about something like the male characters from mk1 Lin Kuei Brothers, Raiden, Liu Kang and Kung Lao, being jealous of their special forces wife when getting looks from Outworld men at some meeting or something.

author note: lol don't worry! It's a good period where writing juice is flowing🫡

Bi-Han: -The man is livid, ice particles are already forming on his hands. -He knows you aren't doing anything wrong, but at the back of his head, he can hear a small voice telling him you are enjoying the attention and doing that on purpose. -You had this discussion more than once, with voices rising and mean and meaningless words escaping both your mouths. At least he now understands he is wrong and trying to get better. -Trying = key word. -Bi-Han won't take his anger out on you, but if one of those Outworld men try to touch you, they won't see the next day.

Kuai Liang: -King of dealing with jealousy. -It just takes a spark to start a blaze, but since Liang has been dealing with the feeling since he was a young man, he knows how to calm himself down. -Liang trains with renowned intensity, each punch and kick stronger than the one before. -So, if you'll ever be in danger because of instinct driven men, it will take just one punch to smash their head in tiny particles.

Tomas Vrbada: -He knows you are hot. It's obvious that people would look at you like that. -This sparks a bit of jealousy in the boy, stemming from his insecurities, but Tomas will keep it to himself. -He'll keep telling himself that jealousy is dumb, that you love him and he loves you, and nobody can come between you two. -That doesn't mean that if one of the men get a bit too comfortable and you can't shove them away Tomas won't pull out his knifes at the speed of light. -Their eyes won't register what is happening.

Liu Kang: -Feel just a tinge of jealousy, but nothing that will close his brain vessels. -He knows you are strong, you can brush them off easily without him even moving a finger. -Liu Kang is also a bit…proud? He has a partner others can only dream of. -But his hand will slip on your lower back, na tap or slap, just resting there, a signal smart men will take.

Raiden: -Not as good as keeping his jealousy in check, as he neved had to deal with it before. -Raiden grits his teeth and clenches his hands, glare that could strike dead any enemy. -He is not angry at you, obviously it is not your fault, maybe he should work on his aura, now it isn't intimidating enough. -When you'll have a free moment, Raiden will pull you to the nearest corner to kiss you dumb. He says it is a reward for your good work, but it is mostly a reward for himself.

Kung Lao: -Ah! Let them look, let them drool, they don't have a chance with you anyway. -A peacock with feathers open wide, or better chest out, he is so proud of himself. -Totally gonna do pda to show off, it is a bit embarrassing, but Lao will stop if you ask him. -When it's time to go home he brushes off the hair in the back of your head, showing off your neck; the small hickey there a telltale sign for each men that even glanced in your direction.

WOOO VEILGUARD ART!! I decided to draw my Rook with the characters I feel they're gonna get along best with. I was also gonna draw them with Lucanis but I couldn't think of a good pose, since I haven't finished the Wigmaker's job and don't have a good grasp on his character

Anyways! Closeups beneath the cut and I also wanna ramble about how I think the characters dynamic would be with rook

(they/them pronouns for my Rook)

There is nothing in this world that's gonna stop me from befriending Davrin. I already adore him he's so INTERESTING TO ME IDK I think it's cause I'm soft on grey wardens. I think him and Revari would bond over being Dalish (Revari wasn't born Dalish, but they did spend their teenage years with the Dalish and got their tattoos just like any other clan mate) And I think Davrin's confidence and charm is gonna mix well with Revari's more sarcastic personality (I am not immune to the sarcastic personality type in dragon age games) these two are gonna kick ass together so hard

I think necromancy FASCINATES Revari, but they struggle getting a grasp on it. This does not stop them from pestering Emmrich about learning lmao. They try so so hard but cannot do it even half as well as Emmrich can. This dynamic is purely inspired by the "Excellent job Manfred!" Comment that he makes in tevinter nights lmao. Speaking of Manfred, Revari also finds the idea of a skeleton that follows you around the coolest thing ever

OHHHH NEVE GALLUS THE LOML!!! Revari is a part of the shadow dragons, so the two bond over that. Revari had a shitty life, and generally deals with that by being funny, while Neve is generally just cynical. The two I think are gonna have an odd balance with one another, which I'm looking forward to. That and Neve Gallus is just stunning I need to kiss her so so bad omg....

Yeah! For Revari I am thinking of going Evoker mage with them, but I may put some points into necromancy or whatever it's called (death caller I think) but I want to see how the skill tree works in game before I say anything for certain. I am geniuenly excited I'm ngl

[someshakespearequote]

Okay, I don't want to give airtime to assholes, but let's unpack this a little.

On the left, for the sexy way things used to be, we have:

Concept art for a Qunari woman, which was shown next to a Qunari guy wearing about as little. This didn't look like how Qunari looked in DAO! Also, this isn't actually a character! I understand that the guys making this video would prefer that women be objects of their desire rather than actual people in any capacity, but this was just an example piece!

Art for Morrigan looking like Little Red Riding Hood -- again, not actually how she looked in the game.

Leliana with a ridiculous glow-up because this is how she looked in the Urn of Sacred Ashes trailer, not in the actual game.

Isabela, okay, you got me, this one is actually an in-game asset, except that no, do not cite the DA2 ladies to me, witch. I was there when they were written. I am old enough to remember when DA2 shipped, and the spiritual ancestors of this asshole posted comments on messageboards saying that DA2 had no attractive romanceable women, because Bethany was your sister, Merrill had elven features, and Isabela was, according to these sad incels, "too exotic." I remember this because I remember saying, "If the dirty-talking sexually liberated rogue with sun-kissed skin and a lip piercing who runs around with no pants is not up to your standards, your standards are bad."

Meanwhile, on the right, for the apparent current non-sexiness, we have:

Morrigan, who a) looks great, to the point where some people are saying she should look older (not me -- give Morrigan the Cate Blanchett/Rachel Weisz "inexplicably hotter as she gets older" treatment, you go, girl); b) isn't a romance option this time; and c) is actually an in-game asset, unlike Little Red Concept Art over on the left.

Neve, using concept art that was meant to show the costume and not the attitude. Because when you see Neve in game sashaying up to you after freezing bad guys, she looks great, and when I saw the bit of her in the lighthouse with her scarf untied and her blouse unbuttoned, I legitimately forgot what the conversation was about. (And perish angry, ableist haters. People with prostheses get to be sexy, too.)

Taash, looking great. We still don't know what's going on with the whole gender deal there, but as someone who was lucky enough to take one random college elective course the same quarter that half of the varsity women's volleyball team decided to do so, if your spectrum for finding a woman hot does not include women who are tall and have muscles, then that's a you problem, not a them problem.

One random chargen Qunari, which, whatever.

Notes about people being trans, which, as with the ableism, perish angry. Trans women are women. And if Taash ends up being non-binary or some other non-cis-woman option, and that is what turns you off and not the muscles, then again, that's a you problem, not a them problem, and those of us who can like boobs even when they're on someone who isn't a cis woman will be over here with Ruby Rose and Demi Lovato.

Oddly not present on the horribly unsexy right:

Bellara, who is adorkable and also giving Neve a run for her money at "most distracting collarbones in the Lighthouse."

Harding, whose smile lights up the room in the scenes we've seen so far and who was called out by fans as someone they wanted back as a romance option after people saw her in DAI, which was before her glow-up.

Like, I understand that the ideal right thing to do is to tell these jerks that the companions of Veilguard are deep and fully realized characters, and judging them just based on which ones you wanna bang is asshole behavior... but this is a Dragon Age game. It is, as the devs once joked, a dating sim with a small "save the world" minigame you do between scenes. And by those standards, the women of Veilguard (either including Taash, or and also Taash, depending on how that goes) look fantastic. I don't know who I'm gonna romance yet, because I fall for a character more while I'm doing quests with them and getting to know them, but this is a squad with many flavors of gorgeous. Sorry it has character art that includes, you know, character and not the creepy sex doll look of one of those Steam games that includes disclaimers about everyone being of legal age and none of the girls being actually related to you.

It's not a them problem, assholes. It's a you problem.

my masterlist! | ask box

"Just 10 more minutes, please, H?" you pouted, snaking your arms tightly around his chest, to try and keep him in bed. Unfortunately, he had an interview to go to.

"Y/n, baby, you know I have to leave soon. And I haven't even taken a bath."

"So leave without taking a bath. You smell so good anyways" you slid up and kissed his pecs, looking up at him with doe eyes.

"That's it. I'm getting out." he gently picked up your arms and kept it on the bedding beneath, and quickly jumped off the bed.

"Nooo" you whined, and crossed your arms over your chest.

"Okay. If I hadn't gotten out, you would've found another way to make me stay." He bent over and picked up his clothes, strewn across the floor from the night before.

"Nice ass" you remarked, making one last attempt at making him stay.

"Not gonna work" he replied, and finally picking up his clothes. He made his way to the bathroom, and closed the door.

You sighed, and slumped back on the bed, pulling the blanket to cover your body, you closed your eyes, waiting for him to come back.

He came back about half an hour later, and you'd already fallen back to sleep. With a towel wrapped around his waist, he slowly made his way over to your sleeping form, and climbed on the bed. He leaned over, and shook his wet hair over your face.

The tiny water droplets showered on your face, and you immediately pushed him away, and he fell on the bed. He started to laugh hysterically, holding his stomach.

"Not funny" you said, wiping off the water. Giving him an angry look, you turned to the other side.

"Hey, I was just playing."

"Sure you were"

"So listen, how about we go to dinner after I come back? You be ready and I'll pick you up?"

"Oh…"

"Think about it, text me before 4. We'll go to that fancy italian place y’like.”

“But-there'll be paparazzi, right?”

“Yeah. Obviously” he chuckled “So?”

“I don’t know, Harry, it’s just–I don’t want people to know yet, like, officially.”

He frowned, his heart sinking a bit.”But there's already pictures of us outside the gym from last week-and that actually means something, right? And, we both wear promise rings. One close up and they’ll figure it out” he said, pulling up his pants he had laid out the night before.

“Yeah, but that’s kinda–different? I don't know. Going to gym together dosen’t really do what going to dinner together does. Please, Harry?”

“Mmm, okay.” he buttoned up his shirt, and pulled on a loose cardigan, and went into the closet to choose footwear.

“So, that would mean I have to say I’m single when they ask me that today?”

You thought, and felt a bit sad. You wanted to go to the tallest building in the world and yell, “I’m dating Harry Styles, bitches!”. But, you couldn’t. At least, not yet.

“Yes?” you murmured, hoping Harry would hear. You also hoped he wouldn’t be sad, or feel bad.

“Yeah, alright.” He walked out wearing white vans, that complemented his blue jeans.

“How do I look?”

“Great” you replied.

“Quick, give me a hug and a kiss before I leave” he walked to the corner of the bed, while you peeled yourself off, and walked on your knees to the edge, the blanket still draped over your body.

He leaned down and kissed you, and you snaked his arms around his neck. He pulled away quickly, and put your back down. He smiled, turning back and waving at you as he left.

As soon as he got out of the room, his sile turned into a frown. He sighed, as the guilt and sadness took over him. Why did you not want anyone to know? Like, both of your friends knew, and people would find out eventually, but still.

Why?

He respected your decision, and would never go against it. He wouldn’t tell people till you were ready. But, what if you won’t be ready? Ever?

Taking his shades and keys, he left the house.

. . .

The interview went great, as he had expected. Better, actually. Whenever he was asked a question about a significant other, he brushed it off charmingly, and thankfully, they didn’t ask any more nosy or follow up questions. He loved interviewers like that.

On his drive back to his shared home with his “girlfriend”, his mind was clouded with thoughts. Why did you not want anyone to know? Were you ashamed? Did you not want your family to know, so they wouldn’t judge you? Maybe your parents didn’t approve you dating a famous person? Maybe you didn’t want to be seen with him like that? Was he that bad?

These things, and some much worse clouded his mind, against his better judgement. Harry wasn’t perfect per-se, but he tried. He knew he could be a bit too much at times, but he worked on that.

Turning over to the last turn towards your house, he took deep breaths, and wiped a few tears off his cheek with the back of his cardigan. He stayed in the car for a few minutes, to let the rednes in his eyes and sadness on his face fade away.

Walking up the path to the main door, he didn’t want to go inside. If you didn’t want to be seen with him, why were you even with him in the first place?

He rung the doorbell, and felt the patter of feet of you making your way to the dor. The door clicked open, and then there you were, with a the soft, glowy face and a lovely smile, holding a spatula. he took a step in, and leaned in to kiss you. You held his neck with the other hand and kissed him back. He snuck an arm around your waist, as the other one closed the door shut behind him.

The kiss wan’t just a quick peck, and you wanted more. Your hand travelled up from his neck to his hair, gently tugging at it. Harry released a filthy moan into your hot mouth, and that was it for both of you. You dropped the spatula on the floor and held onto his shoulders, as he gripped your hips and lifted your up. Your legs wrapped around his waist, he made his way to your bedroom.

“You smell so fucking good” you said, peppering kisses over his cheek. Travelling down to his neck, where you bit his earlobe and kissed his neck. Harry was getting impatient, and he quickly jogged the last few steps, finally reaching your bedroom.

He went straight to your shared bed, throwing you into the centre. You fell with a soft thud, your hair bouncing and framing your little face perfectly. He climbed on the bed too, hovering over your body. Your lips intertwined again, but this time, it was hot tongues and moans into each other's mouths.

Harry wrapped his hand around your throat, and pushed you down. His tongue made its way into your mouth, tasting you. You moaned, as his tongue glided with yours. You had been impatient since the morning, and he was finally giving you what you wanted,

His hand travelled down, pulling the loose string of your sweats. You lifted your hips up, and he slid them off your legs, throwing them away. He was still so much fully dressed, and you wanted to get him naked. Touch his chest and pepper kisses all over it.

You pushed him off to the side, and quickly climbed on him, perching your hips on his waist. You could see his jeans thickening, and you pulled off the cardigan, throwing it on the bed.

Harry wanted to do this. To have sex with you. Eat you out. But, his mind wasn’t letting him. He still kept thinking everything he was while driving, and if he didn’t talk to you about it soon, he would go mad.

He grabbed your wrists when you tried to unbutton his shirt. He sat up, holding your waist so you wouldn’t topple over. Your eyes widened at the sudden halt, and you gave him a confused look.

“H-what–?”

“Can we talk?”

“Right now?” you saw the look on his face. He looked desperate, and…sad. “Okay. What happened? Tell me.” you held his hand in yours, gently kissing his knuckles.

“It’s just–I keep thinking about why you-you don’t want to tell everyone we are dating. It’s driving me mad. Is it me? Am I not worth telling everybody? Is there something wrong with me?”

Your heart broke into a million pieces when he said that. He looked so sad and broken, because of you.

“What? No! Jesus! Harry, why would you even think tha?”

“I’m sorry. This-nobody has ever asked me to keep our relationship a secret and I–I can’t just stomach it. I need to know why?”

“Hey, don’t apologise. Alright? It’s not your fault. “

“Then why?”

“Ok. Here it goes. The reason why I don’t want to tell everyone yet is because-It’s probably stupid.” you slumped, now feeling embarrassed at your reason for all this.

“No, it’s not. Tell me.”

“It’s me. I just think that I can’t compare to anyone–literally anyone you’ve dated before, and it makes me really sad. And when everyone–your fans, your family–they find out, they will think low of me, and that you are probably doing me a favour by dating me. And I know it’s hella stupid, but I am not ready for all the judgement and comments and paps and–”

“Hey! It’s okay. Don’t panic. And I get you, okay. Dating someone like me can be a bit…overwhelming? at times. I am so used to everything that I just don’t realise that you could feel burdened by everthing. And I know how my fans can get sometimes. I love them, more than anything in the world. It’s just–they get defensive and often judge-y of the person I date.”

“I know! And I’m sorry if I made you feel bad about yourself.”

“No, it’s okay. I just wished you could’ve talked to me about it sooner. And hey, don’t ever feel like you’re not enough. There’s a reason why I’m not dating anyone else but you. I love you and I want to be with you. And don’t worry about my family. They are great people. They don’t judge the people I date. They are really, really good people.” he lifted your hands with his, kissing your hand and knuckles, like you had kissed his.

Your eyes were wide, and your mouth fell open. It was the first time he had said I love you.

“What–happened?” he asked, a bit concerned.

“You–you love me?” you replied, eyes welling up with tears.

Now, his face mirrored yours.

“I–I don’t-I didn’t–You don’t have to say it back.”

“Of course I do. I love you too, H.” a tear rolled down your eyes, and you quickly got up and kissed him.

He kissed you back, wiping the tear off your cheek.

“I love you so much. So, so much.” you told him, kissing both his cheeks.

“I love you too, baby. And we don’t have to tell people if you don’t want to. We will, whenever you are ready.”

“Thank you. You are the best. I don’t deserve you” you turned, sitting down on his lap.

“Sure you do. Now, what are we eating tonight? I’m hungry.”

“I made pasta. The spatula—I threw it on the door” you laughed, and he started to laugh with you.

“God.” he shook his head, and you looked up at him.

“C’mon, get up. I need to freshen up.”

“But this–” you looked down between your thighs, where your panties had soaked through from your activities earlier.

“What? Oh! My baby got wet, didn’t she?” you nodded, looking at him with doe eyes, hoping he’ll do something.

“Well, you’ll have to wait till after dinner. Then, I’ll carry you back here like I did before. Lay you down sweetly on the bed. Then spread those pretty thighs of yours, and eat your pretty pussy out. Till you’re begging me to stop. The, I’ll fuck you, and make you look into my eyes, while I tell you how perfect you are. And I that I love you, every time you come around my cock.”

You pressed your thighs together, while he described everything he was going to do to you.

“You’re not helping”

“Wasn’t planning on, love”

Ayato: "No! If anything I see you as a "bother figure" because you're always bothering me."

Laito: "Hey! Show your father some respect!"

Ayato: "I didn't call him dad!"

Reiji: "No no, Ayato, I take it as a compliment."

Kanato: "Yeah. I called Yui "mom" once and she's just our food."

Ayato: "Guys! Jump on that! Kanato has psychological issues!"

Subaru: "Old news. But you calling Reiji "daddy"-"

Ayato: "Hey! "Daddy" is not on the table."

Kou: "But you did call him "dad" dude."

Ayato: "You shut up, you've done nothing but lie when you got here."

Kou: "Ok, I lied about (so and so), but the "dad" thing? That happened."

Ayato: "Aha! He admitted that he lied about (so and so). It was a trap, all apart of my crazy, devious plan."

Reiji: "I believe you. . . ."

Ayato: "Thank you."

Reiji: ". . . .son."

Ayato: 😐

Reiji: "Do you want to talk about it, over a game of catch?"

Ayato: ". . . .I'd like that."

I also feel like the gif above works for Ayato with Karlheinz.

for the kisses post: 10 for davrin/elowen! 💗

10. goodbye kisses

looks around nervously idk how to write davrin yet so i hope this is at least decent 🫣 but tysm for the prompt!! i love these two so much and being able to put smth down on paper for them was super fun 💖

“I know you’re awake over there. You gonna lay in bed all day?”

Voice muffled from being sufficiently buried beneath the covers, Elowen says in a heavy sigh, “I have to go to Dock Town today but I don’t want to.”

Davrin can understand that, given that they still blame themselves for the Venatori presence that’s taken hold there. They don’t do well with the gloomy weather either, he’s come to notice. The rain weakens Elowen’s fire. Must be a mage thing.

“Neve’s going too, I take it?”

“Mhm.”

The reluctance in their voice is obvious. Another reason they’re dragging their feet. Their friendship with Neve has found its footing since the dragon attack, but Elowen still has a tendency to treat it like glass, as if saying one wrong thing will shatter their bond beyond repair for good.

“I’ll go with you.”

They let out a disapproving whine, finally rolling - literally - out of bed to pad over to the fireplace, bracing themselves with their elbows on the arm of Davrin’s chair as they bend down to talk. “You were supposed to go see Eldrin today. I don’t want to take that away from you.”

“Eldrin’s not going anywhere, I can go tomorrow.” He motions for them to sit with him by tapping his leg twice. They oblige without hesitation, crawling up into his lap and settling comfortably against him as one arm wraps around their waist, the other resting on the bare skin of their upper thigh. “You’ve got a lot on your plate. If I can do anything to make things easier on you, I want to.”

The sincerity threatens to overwhelm them, so they do what they do best: they joke. “Aww.” They tilt their head up to grin at him. “You really are going soft.”

“Alright.” Davrin rolls his eyes, taking his hands off them. “If you don’t want to hear it-”

Immediately Elowen falls into giggles, taking one of his hands in both of theirs and holding it to their chest. “Nooo, I was just kidding, don’t kick me out!”

“Then be serious,” he says with as much seriousness as he can muster when faced with the way Elowen’s bottom lip is caught between their teeth to keep from further giggling.

“Okay, okay.” They shuffle to straddle his lap and face him directly, looping their arms around his neck. Stifling another laugh, they clear their throat. “Thank you, Davrin. I appreciate it.”

“Attagirl.” He pats their thigh twice, this time motioning for them to get up. “Let’s get moving then. If we finish things in Dock Town early enough, maybe we can still make it to Arlathan before dark.”

“Kiss before I go?”

Amused, he says, “I’m going with you, El. You’ll see me again in less than an hour.”

“Yeah, and? A guy can’t have a kiss for the long and winding road back to her treehouse?”

Davrin chuckles. It’s hard to say no to them when they’re batting those pretty eyes at him. “Come here.”

They melt into him the second their lips meet, the responsibilities of the day falling away for a blissful moment as they focus on the way his calloused hands squeeze their thighs with just the right amount of pressure.

An impatient squawk! separates them like they’ve just caught fire - Davrin groans in annoyance while Elowen laughs, reaching out to ruffle Assan’s feathers.

“Sounds like somebody’s hungry, huh?”

“Like clockwork.”

They climb out of the chair, offering their hands out to pull Davrin to his feet. “You feed the boy. I’ll get ready, grab Neve, and we’ll meet at the Eluvian in an hour.”

Assan curls around Davrin’s legs like a cat, butting his head against Davrin’s hand in a demand for affection. Davrin, of course, obliges. “Sounds like a plan.”

Elowen all but skips out of the room, good mood restored, and Davrin isn’t aware he’s watched them the whole time until Assan squawks at him again, tail swishing in a way that somehow seems taunting.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m the one that feeds you, remember?”

[mirandaputsherbestbuttforward]

Anyway, I finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard just over 85 hours for the whole thing (definitely missed some puzzles and a bit of loot here and there), but here are a collection of my thoughts before going to bed.

Spoilers below!

Genuinely, I think it was a solid game. The writing and themes throughout are really potent. I think the dialogue in some places was a little 80s cheesy or a BIT out of place in the DA setting but I definitely laughed at a lot of it.

I think the companions were great, though I found myself not really caring for Lucanis (and I'm not torn up that I accidentally got him killed in the endgame).

Neve, on the other hand, was a sniper shot directly at my forehead; she is carrying out the legacy of the Emotionally Distant Usuallly Hetero BioWare Brunette™ that I have always fallen for, but thankfully not straight this time (bless).

I think the environments were amazing and had so much depth even if the maps were more 'linear' in terms of areas to explore but I loved not having fetch quests. I loved being able to use companion abilities to unlock more parts of the map as we went along.

I do think there was a lot of content - which is good - but it did feel like a bit of a slow go to start.

I felt that the romance wasn't necssarily lacking in terms of BioWare's standard style of romances with casual flirting -> serious flirting -> kiss scene -> romance scene just prior to endgame, BUT because there was so much to do in Act 2, it felt like I wasn't getting anywhere fast and so spacing it out that way felt like there could've been a few more little things in between (e.g. kiss animations like BG3, or something) to hold us over.

In terms of story, I think for the most part it really fit into the series well enough; I don't think the lack of worldstate mattered too much in order to tell the story they wanted to tell with Solas. A few mentioned and call backs are all we would've gotten and I'm okay with that (e.g. like who you picked for Divine or who is ruling Fereldan, etc).

I like that we got to explore more Dwarf lore again, I think this fandom needs to be more into dwarves because holy shit.... the whole reason they can't dream???????? insane.

Also in terms of gameplay, the combat was fun and refreshing, and very mass effect-y and I loved it. I was a warrior and just had fun smashing the shit out of everything. I do wish we had more loot / options to work with (lowkey missed the crafting system in DAI to make our own stuff) but I get why they did it like that.

I loved Rook, and I know that you can't be a super aggressive asshole but tbh this doesn't call for it. They were brought in as someone who could help the team and work together.

As someone on tiktok said, they are friends with fully developed prefrontal cortexes and act like it; DA2 companions are not found family, they are only friends with Hawke and only tolerate each other because of that mutual friendship. Inquisitor is like the manager of a bunch of coworkers.

ANYWAY, I think Rook was a fine protag, and I LOVED the CC aside from a few things like why do some of the more detailed complexions get a 5 o clock shadow embedded into it? No age slider??? no grey hair slider???

Fat slider good but should've had more. Also the boob/ass slider lacking like I get it that it helps keep armours intact but they should've let the sliders go more for better shapes.

All in all, I'm giving it a solid 8.5/10, and well worth the 10 year wait.

I just hope that they get to make a DA5 with that hint they dropped on us in the post-credit scene. I was really hoping for DA Absolution to have a tie in because what the fuck has Meredith Stannard been doing beefing w tevinter to get a circlet to bring someone back from the dead, and what plot point is that gonna be????? but anyway I guess I can hope for a season 2 of DA Absolution next

I saw your post about Freddy Freeman requests and omg I'm So glad I'm not alone!!!! I have a headcanon about him and I was wondering if you could write it (completely understand if you don't want to) So after Freddy becomes a super hero he starts having nightmares about some of the bad things he's seen. He tries to hide it from the reader but she knows he has them. Freddy tells her that they're not a big problem, which is a complete lie, and the reader wants to help. Freddie has told her that it helps when he has something to focus on to calm him down so one day she brings string lights so late at night when she's not there he can focus on them. When reader learns that her idea worked she gets all happy and the story its just fluffy and cute. Sorry this ended up being a really long request

~🦈

Omg hi!! I'm gonna call u sharky from now on that's them rules babes!! Also. You're a literal genius Also I made it x wayne!reader because this is so Canon. So. ALSO I'm accepting another emoji anons if anyone's intrested!!

You always spent the night at Freddys. You were the bat to man. He has matching stickers printed with that phrases plastered onto your English books. Since you both share that period.

You were always around Freddy, sometimes it felt wrong to be away from him, he was always a clingy guy, and you didn't mind that.

Coming from Gotham you preferred guys like Freddy, it was hard obviously, considering the fact that many of your exes turned out to be psychopaths who just wanted to get a check from your father Bruce Wayne.

It was why you moved here in the first place, so here you are, I'm Freddys arms for another night. You knew about the nightmares, hell, you got them sometimes.

"Can you stay, please?" Freddy whispered into your head as you groaned, looking up to him in tired eyes as he chuckled. "Can you stay. It helps batsy."

"I wore that shirt once!" You giggled as Freddy kissed your head. You shuffled closer to his head, placing a soft kiss to his lips as he kissed back. "I'll stay, so tell me Captain everypower. How does my presence help you huh."

You switched positions, from him hugging your waist to your head on top of his chest, a hand around his torso as the other intertwined his hand as he smiled at you.

"It helps focusing on other things my love." Freddy muttered as he stared at the ceiling, you hummed before kissing his hand, humming a song he instantly recognised as 'Lonely Dancers' by conan gray.

"You can tell me." You muttered as you played with his hand.

"Tell you what?" Freddy asked as he looked down to look at you're face.

"About the nightmares." You muttered as you looked up at him who looked away, trying to find an object to focus on.

"I don't get nightmares." He was always a stubborn person. Freddy always feered that if he was too much of a pain, you'd leave, you wouldn't be the first to leave.

Freddy has had many friends come and go, hell, even his own parents left at some point, but you knew deep down he was hurting, and you loved him, you wanted to help him.

"Freddy." You said sternly as he groaned. You sighed before sitting up in his lap, looking down at him. "I. I just want to help you baby."

"It's fine. Really, you're here yeah?" Freddy smiled as you bite the inside of your cheek.

Your phone rang causing you to look at it, you sighed as you read the contact name. "How is he everywhere-. AH!" Freddy screamed as his own phone rang. Alfred was always impatient with you, especially because you'd always keep him out for longer than he should.

"I should get going. I'll see you at school yeah baby? I would stay the night but-." You started only for Freddy to kiss your lips once more. You smiled as you opened your eyes, finding Freddy's heartwarming smile.

"You stayed last night. I know the rules baby. You want me to fly you home?" Freddy asked you as you shook your head. You kissed his lips once more before jumping out the window.

His parents knew you where at his house, hell, you've never used the front door.

Your father always said you were a hyper girl, so here you are, putting it to use.

Yet you couldn't help but feel bad for leaving Freddy alone, if you could you'd stay with him everynight, but that wasn't an option.

But when you passed a store and the string lights caught your eyes. Thats when you knew you didn't have to be a helpless case.

The next day, you waited for Freddy to return from some mission, while you waited, you and Rose hung up the fairy lights you had bought for Freddy.

You sat down onto the bed, smiling at your achievement before sitting up as you heard the front door, multiple footsteps entering the house.

Freddy and Billy soon entered the room, glancing at the fairy lights hung up on the wall. He looked down to find you sitting on his bed, his eyes switching to you and the light. "Oh god what did you do?"

"Well, you said it helps to focus on something. So i bought you something to focus on when I'm not here. Plus, they're really cute!" You reasoned as he chuckled, Billy raised his eyebrows at his younger brother before walking off to spend some time with Eugene before bed.

Freddy stumbled towards you as you helped him, placing his crutches onto the side of the bed before tucking him in.

"I'm going away for a while to visit my father, so. I thought this would help." You kissed his cheek before taking your backpack. "I just wanted to see you since I'll be gone all week, I'll call you everynight tho, yeah?"

"I'll miss you." Freddy muttered as you kissed his cheek. You sighed before handing him a few letters. You knew that to Freddy, acts were everything. So you wrote him a few letters to read when you were gone. "What's this?"

"Seven letters for seven days." You shrugged before walking towards the bedroom door. You sighed, turning back to face him. "Bye Freddy."

"Bye batsy."

And now here you were.

It's had been two days since you've seen Freddy. You wanted to call him the first night when you got back but you fell asleep with his contact name open and Freddy knew. He always knew with you.

So here you are now. Nails clacking on the desk as you waited for Freddy to say he could face time, yet you still jolted when Freddys contact called you.

You propped up your phone answering and smiling as you saw his face. He waved, clearly happy to see you and you just felt so glad that you'll finally hear his voice.

"Hey babe, how ya doing?" Freddy asked as you smiled. You would be lying if you said you didn't worry for him. You needed to know if you were successful, did they work? Did he take them down because they were annoying?

"So, tell me Captain everypower, did they work?" You asked smugly as he smiled.

"Yeah yeah, they worked."

"I fucking knew it!"

"Okay calm down-."

An Eternity Together || Aemond Targaryen

chapter IV

masterlist

minors dni

overall includes: female!reader, obsession, mention of sexual intercourse of different types, death

I eventually had to break the kiss, to look down at her, meeting those big puppy eyes again. Her look melted my heart like soft butter.

"I want you, my Lady." I told her, heavy panting.

"My-my prince..." she stuttered.

Her eyes moved away from mine, examining the room. She didn't seem convinced enough, yet. So I kissed her again. She immediately fell into my arms, as she softly kissed me back.

I moved my lips further down, glazing over the skin of her throat. She shivered at my touch, and could barely handle it to keep her sounds by herself.

"Aemond. What are we doing here?" she asked.

"Don't you worry, my love. I'm gonna be gentle with you." I assured her, before slightly pushing her forward, until she fell on the bed.

She started giggling, as I hovered on top of her. She slowly moved her hand to my eye patch, and I let her do whatever she wanted to do.

She gently pulled the leather off my face, and revealed the sapphire gemstone in the place my eye once was.

"You're so beautiful." she said, while looking me in both my eyes.

Her words made my heart beat on an unhealthy scale. She found me attractive. Even with my eye patch off. I knew I was all right about her. I knew she was the one, supposed to be mine.

I couldn't reply to her with anything. All I could do was stare at her, my face probably still full of mesmerization and confusion.

To break the silence, she pulled my head down to her's. She allowed me to enter her mouth with my tongue, and it was the most perfect taste. Neve have I tasted something like this in my life before. It was the taste of her. The taste of her essence. Of course it was so good.

My hands traveled down her body, and stopped on her hips. The scent of her hair gets me harder, with every second I have with her. Her laughs swung in my ears, making my skin prickle. I could feel every inch she touched of my body, like she hasn't lost the skin contact. It still, to this day, feels like she's still touching me.

"Can you feel it?" I breathed on her neck, pressing my bulge on her thigh.

She let out a moan. The sound of her voice moved through my body.

She helped me to pull of my shirt, before opening my belt. Her eyes haven't lost the lock with mine, as her silk hands caressed over my chest. She moved them over my stomach, and down to my hips.

I closed my eyes, as a groan flew over my lips. My hips started to grind on her, while her fingertips ran over my skin.

Her lips moved closer to my ear, slightly nibbling on it. A feeling of pleasure shot through my body, arousing my dick even more.

"I want you." she whispered in my ear, letting a shiver run down my neck.

I looked at her, seeing pure lust in her eyes. My lips crashed on her's, as my hands pulled up her dress. I ran my fingers through her folds, circling over her clit.

Her back arched, while her breathing became heavier. She silently moaned under my touch, while gripping onto the flesh of my back.

I entered her with two fingers, making her silent moans gain volume. I pumped in and out of her, curling my fingers inside her cunt.

Her legs quivered, as her breathy moans synched with my thrusts. I felt her twitch beneath me, quickly pushing my hand away.

"I already came!" she laughed, still shaking. She again moved closer to my ear, "Now I want you to cum in me."

I did not had to hear more from her. I spread her legs wide open, and positioned myself between them. She guided my cock to her entrance, and with one careful motion, I fully entered her.

She almost screamed, as I filled her up. I started to move just slightly, while I felt her juice coating my length. Her beautiful eyes were tightly squeezed together. I tried to make it as comfortable and gentle for her as I could.

It didn't take long for her to open her eyes again.

"Go faster, please, Aemond."

I started to thrust into her in a much quicker paste, while she tried her best keeping her eyes opened. She wanted to look at me. Wanted to see who fucks her so good.

My skin slapping on her's, as well as her whines, were like music in my ears. They told me that I'm pleasing her how she deserved it. She deserved to be treated like a queen - like a goddess. So I tried to be worthy of doing so.

She tightened her walls around my cock, giving it more and more friction, with every time I pumped into her. I groaned in her ear as well.

I worshipped her body. Her appearance. Her moans. There was not a single flaw I could make out in that moment. Not a single thing that bothered me about her. She was perfect.

As I lost myself in her gaze, I didn't notice my cum already filling her up, just seconds before her orgasm rushed over herself. I buried my dick deep inside of her pussy, to make sure, every single drop of my release is caught by her.

I collapsed on top of her, and rolled myself to the side. She laid there, still panting heavily. I wanted to open my mouth. Wanted to tell her how beautiful she is, but she already sat herself down on top of me.

Her soft lips ghosted over my skin. She traced her tongue around my nipples, fluttering kisses along my collarbone, and up my neck.

I gasped, as she reached for my ear once again. She twirled her tongue around my earlobe, slightly and carefully biting on it.

She knew what she was doing, and she for sure knew what she wanted.

poly au - summertime

Jim tilted their head back on the wall of the kiddie pool, hat resting over their eyes, and dozed. It was a billion degrees out, and they had the day off work. Only Frenchie and Wee John were home, working in their studio, so Jim had dragged out the kiddy pool that Ed had bought for Beacon at the end of last summer, filled it with water, and flopped inside. Shirt off and tits out, with a beer in one hand and the other flopped over the lip of the kiddie pool. They’d nicked a pair of Stede’s swim trunks that had little rubber ducks on them. Each of the ducks wore a different silly hat. Jim didn’t know where he’d found them, but they’d threatened to steal them all last summer.

Peace. Quiet. Cool water and the sun beating down on their skin. The dream, truly.

The screen door opened and slid shut behind them. They were just sleepy enough to ignore it, in the same way they were ignoring bird calls and the sound of someone playing music a few houses away.

At least, they could ignore it until someone stepped into the fucking kiddie pool. Water sloshed, and a foot shoved at their side. Jim flailed awake, tearing the hat off their face to glare up at the offending intruder.

“Shove over,” Lucius said, looking down his nose at them. He was wearing a black speedo and a bright pink Hawaiian shirt, and massive sunglasses.

“Lucius! What the fuck!”

Lucius shoved them half-way across the tiny pool, then sat down beside them. His legs went over Jim’s hips, his back against the hard plastic sides. It bowed with his weight, just like it had bowed with Jim’s.

“Oh god that’s better,” he sighed, sinking into the water a little. Jim shoved at his legs but he just let his weight rest on them heavier, slinging both feet over the opposite edge. At this rate the pool was going to collapse. “It’s so fucking hot.”

“Yes, which was why I was cooling off! Alone!”

Lucius blew them a kiss and took a sip out of the massive fancy glass they hadn’t noticed. A tornado glass maybe? Jim could neve remember. “And now you’re cooling off with company.”

They tipped their head back against the wall and signed, resigned. At least the water was a little higher now. Not that it was much of an improvement. If they filled the tub too full, one of the walls would collapse. “You’re the worst.”

“Mmm, just wait until Ed and Stede get out here.”

As if on cue, the porch door slid open again. Jim craned their neck back and watched as Stede, Edward, and the Swede came out onto the deck. They wanted to grumble, but Edward was here, so they just scowled. Edward’s face brightened when he saw them, which, fuck, then they couldn’t even scowl. They just liked him too much to be mad.

“Jimbo!” he trotted over and crouched down to kiss their upside down mouth. His mouth tasted like cherry chapstick, and Jim curled a wet hand around the back of his neck and held him there for a moment longer. His eyes crinkled around the edges when he pulled away and smiled down at them, before sweeping a glance appreciatively over their torso. “Oh, nice, it’s a tits out kinda day is it?”

“It’s too hot for a shirt,” they grumbled.

Stede wandered up beside them. He frowned down at Jim. “I hope you’re wearing sunscreen. The UV Index is very high today.”

“Nope,” they popped the word, then took a swig of lukewarm beer. “I don’t need it.”

Edward reached out and flicked one of their nipples. Jim yelped, hand clamping over their tit, twisting to try and get away. Lucius yelped too, jostling with their movement, bright blue liquid from his tornado glass spilling over his arm.

“Your nips are gonna burn,” Edward laughed. “And then you’ll be pissed next time you wear a binder.”

Jim gave him the finger. “I was doing fine keeping them under water until someone came and took up half the damn pool!”

“Not my fault you have poor planning skills,” Lucius pouted. “And you made me spill.”

They gave him the finger, too. “Get out of my pool!”

His smile was distinctly bitchy. “Make me.”

Before Jim could attempt to pick him up and toss him over the side, Stede tutted. “Alright, alright, that’s enough. Jim can share.”

“This isn’t kindergarten,” they muttered.

Stede ignored them. “And Jim, if you put sunscreen on, I’ll bring you out a popsicle. Or a freezie.”

That made them pause. “… do we have any of the mango ones left?”

“I think we’re all out,” Stede admitted. “But I saw fudge ones in there yesterday.”

“It’s a good deal,” Edward whispered. There was laughter in his eyes. “You should take it. Since you’re not in kindergarten and whatnot.”

“I hate you,” they told him. They drained the last of their lukewarm beer and held the can up to Stede. “Deal. I’m not getting out of the pool, though. Mind taking this in for me?”

He took the can, handing back a bottle of spray on sunscreen. Ugh. “Of course. For your chest, at least.”

Another foot nudged their leg. Jim looked away from Stede to see Edward step into the kiddie pool, a grin on his face. His outfit registered for the first time. No shirt. Black swim trunks with little pink flamingos all over them. Sunglasses. His beach outfit.

“No. There’s no fucking room –“

Edward plopped into the pool, somehow managing to make space between Jim and Lucius’ legs. One foot shoved into their ribs, the other leg laying on top of Lucius’, pinning it against Jim’s hips. Water sloshed, Jim squawked,  and Lucius shrieked a little as more of his slushy blue drink spilled.

“There’s so much room!” Edward crowed, wiggling to get comfortable. He grinned and splashed water at Jim. “Good thing I bought the big kiddie pool, eh?”

“This pool is not big enough for three people,” Lucius grumbled.

Jim made a noise of protest. “It’s not even big enough for two! It was perfect for one!”

“You love it.” Edward slouched against the distressingly low plastic side of the pool and nudged Jim’s ribs with his toes. “Now slather up those nips, punk!”

They gave him the finger, but still started spraying sunscreen onto their chest and shoulders.

“Swede, please don’t tell me you’re going to try and join too,” Lucius called.

“I’m tanning!” came the muffled reply. “I will come into the pool later!”

“Maybe we need a second pool,” Edward mused. He tapped Jim’s calf under the water. “Face too, or Stede will make you when he gets out here.”

They paused from putting the cap back on the sunscreen. “He wouldn’t.”

“He would!” Stede called, from somewhere behind them. The screen door slid shut. “Especially since he's being very kind and not commenting on the fact that you're wearing his swim trunks! UV radiation is a serious problem. And you know Oluwande would make you put it on your face if he were here!”

“I don’t burn!” Jim protested. They still sprayed sunscreen on their hand and started smearing over their cheeks. “Like, ever!”

Stede waited until they were done before trading them a fudgsicle for the bottle of sunscreen. He pressed a kiss to their hair, then went around the pool to kiss Edward proper. “Yes, well, you can still get skin cancer. So best be careful!”

The fudgesicle was sweet, and cold, and kind of made up for the smell of sunscreen and the way it clung to their skin. Stede dragged a chair off the deck and stuck his feet in the pool, and Edward started telling Jim and Lucius about his day. The pool was still crowded, and the water was getting too warm. But the press of bodies against them was nice, even if too hot. And the way their family laughed around them was even better.

Jim pressed their own feet against Edward’s hip and smiled when he tossed them a wink.

Yeah, they thought. This makes summer worth it.

AN: this is set in the poly house au, which is a modern au where everyone on the Revenge crew (+ Ed, Ivan, and Fang) live together and are one big happy poly family. Ed and Jim are together, as are Jim and Olu, and Stede and Ed, and many other pairings. Other ficlets in the series can be found on my ao3!

For @lovewithagirl and @nevershootamockingbird, thank u for the prompt!
