5 questions for writers

tagged by @tevivinter and @theaiobhan <3

1. Do you have a favorite character to write? Who and why?

slams ellanis down on the table

hi have you met my son i literally never shut up about him. ellanis is absolutely my fav oc to write about but im also partial to the whole dao trio i have and, surprisingly, william hawke is becoming a favorite of mine to write.i enjoy exploring the differences in their voices and ellanis in particular is near and dear to me bc im projecting  he’s an important character to me and his thought process is really melodic to sink into

as far as canon characters go i, obviously, enjoy writing zevran since his wit and charm are really delicious to break down and get to know. his headspace is fun to explore because its incredibly wrapped up in all these different layers and he’s slow to expose most of them.

2. Do you have a favorite trope to write? Or one you want to write?

i am a HUGE fan of tropes in general and a favorite of mine is enemies to friends to lovers. i love exploring redemption arcs and why the characters go through them, i love digging into the chemistry between characters when they’re pitted against each other until they’re not and now what happens, i love sinking my teeth into the growth that can really only happen in those situations

3. Share your favorite description you’ve written?

oh this is a hard one bc.... all of my writing is so description heavy lmao but honestly my favorite descriptions are centered around noure so have a bit of them

White petals blushing pink litter the streets. Grow soggy in the rain with quick feet splashing through the sweetly scented puddles. Spring in the alienage, renewal under the flowering vhenadahl. Noure dashes from side-alley to shadows in the thick rain and hopes the tracks they leave are not worth following. 

Catching their breath under an overhanging roof Noure dares to look back. Scans the near-empty streets for any sign of a sword surrounded by flame and finds nothing but endless gray water. Sighs their relief. Noure’s shoulders slump without the tight tension holding them hunched together, sag into the damp brick behind them. 

It’s not spring without a raid. Without shemlen templars trampling fresh blossoms underfoot, noses wide not with the scent of spring but looking for hidden magic. Bloodsport. Plate armor dinging with each raindrop and none of them hide. Walking through streets vacated recently enough for shadows to still be shrinking into the corners the templars raise their heads and hunt.

But Noure is not prey today. No, they sneak their way through back streets and what passes for gardens to Ellanis’ window. Second floor and covered by the neighbor’s roof Noure fumbles for the hidden latch with chill-clumsy fingers in a brief vulnerable moment before it clicks. And they tumble inside. 

4. Share your favorite dialogue you’ve written?

okay now this one is definitely my favorite by... maybe a large margin bc im just a sucker for shit like this

“If you say so.” Zevran shrugs lazily, smirk on his face and eyes not leaving Ellanis’ own. “You don’t have any reason to trust me, perhaps I should not have expected you to answer.” He laughs, “Actually, I didn’t even expect you to answer the door. But you even let me inside your quarters, alone, at night. I should have taken that as my answer.” 

“Don’t worry about my self preservation, Zevran, I’m always in control.” Ellanis can smell him he’s so close, blade oil and leather. Subtle and overwhelming him, dizzying Ellanis from proximity. 

Distracts him.

“Are you in control, bello?” The gentle slide of metal on leather is almost lost in the harshness of Ellanis’ exhale. But the coolness of the blade against his neck is not. Zevran’s eyes haven’t changed, they’re still warm and relaxed and golden. Deceptive. 

Voice like velvet, grip like steel. Pressure only. For a heartbeat time stands still, metal on skin electrifying. Zevran’s hand is perfectly still without a shiver of indecision. The gall.

Without hesitation Ellanis grasps Zevran with his magic. Allows the creeping tendrils of his mana to invade the eddies of Zevran seizing his arm with a memory of old wounds and locks it in place. The corners of Zevran’s mouth flick upward for a fraction of a second, eyes widening a measure. It lights Ellanis on fire. 

“I told you. Always.” Ellanis plucks the dagger from Zevran’s stiff fingers setting it down on the ink stained parchment. “Don’t doubt or underestimate me again.” Under his skin his blood boils, but not with rage. It’s a prickling racing across him, an itch he can’t scratch. Unfamiliar and unnameable.

5. Scene you haven’t written, but want to?

so many bro oh my fuck

im chipping away at a prompt fill i got like..... i think maybe a full 8-9 months ago now and it’s the scene where ellanis says i love you to zevran for the first time its a MONSTER of a scene because there is so much Background going on and maybe all of three people care about that background by come hell or high water i’m gonna write it lmao

there’s also lots of little scenes i want to write, i want to write about william and varric and how their relationship really unfolds, i want to write about da’ean and bull and dorian and fill in the gaps i left last time i told their story, i want to write about noure’s time in nevarra and how they shape kirkwall when they get there, how attie and morrigan just absolutely fuck it up in orlais and ellanis during dai is still a fucking badass and doesn’t let anything or anyone get in the way of what needs done OUGHH theres just so much bro

i’ll tag @veridium-bye @goblin-deity @ocean-in-my-rebel-soul and @madamsnark <3 no obligations of course!
