AND ANOTHER THING

Dorian has always been super specific about his love for Orym.

In the threat scene Dorian says "I care about you more than this" which, I thought before I rewatched the scene, I was misremembering. I thought he really said "I care about you all more than this", making it about the collective, not wanting to leave the group. But no. He said he cared about Orym more than he cared about the crown.

Another thing I thought I misremembered was "no debts between us". For whatever reason I thought Dorian said "no debts between friends" but no. He was very specific with his words and inflections. "There are no debts between us"

"my heart aches that I cannot be there to help you" "sending you fairer winds" "I just like to see you happy" "you're the reason I'm here" "let me comfort you for once."

It has always been about Orym. It has been. It always will be.

Something something the way Orym keeps talking around his feelings for Dorian by saying he misses him rather than he loves him "I really miss Dorian and sometimes I think that's okay and sometimes I think it isn't" and "If I don't get the chance again... I've really missed you" and the way that the absence of a person he loves is such an intrinsic part of the way Orym has lived his life for the past 6 or 7 years, saying he misses Dorian feels so close to a declaration of love because he misses Will so fucking bad all the time and he loved Will so deeply that missing someone and loving someone blurs together into the same feeling

Remember how Orym said that only 25 words from Dorian via sending stone per day were enough to keep him going. That's all it took.

First date

I had a potential comic I wanted to do where Orym shows up with a bouquet of roses for their first date, but I grew obsessed with sketching their outfits and made this instead. 💚💙

I missed a small part of the episode, so I'm going back and watching it. HOW DID I MISS ANY TALK ABOUT DORIAN GETTING JEALOUS OF ORYM ASKING BEAU ABOUT HER AB ROUTINE AND OPENING HIS (already sheer) SHIRT TO SHOW HIS ABS??

The World Shrinks to the Circle of Your Arms

Happy Dorym Week 2024! Today's drabble is inspired by the prompt "I miss you. (I love you.)" and the song May I by Trading Yesterday

I'll post all my drabbles to AO3 later, but for now enjoy them here on tumblr.

(Beware spoilers for Episode 95)

-----

“She’ll be alright.”

Dorian kneels down in front of Orym, who in the aftermath of Laudna’s dramatic window exit has stumbled over to the wall opposite and slid down to sit on the floor. He barely glances at Dorian, instead his eyes are locked on the inky black square of night beyond the window.

“I don’t think any of us have been alright for a long time, Dorian.” he says, voice cracking with exhaustion. His eyes don’t leave the window. “I just wish I could understand why she’s so determined about this.”

Sighing, Dorian reaches out and brushes his fingers against the side of Orym’s face. His heart flutters at the way his friend leans into the contact, but he tamps the feeling down. It’s just comfort, friendly comfort. After the night he’s had, Orym just needs a friend.

He swallows hard and says, “Probably for the same reasons you’re determined. You’re both grieving, you just have different ways of showing it.” 

Orym finally tears his eyes away from the window, ducking his head with a small wry smile playing at his lips. “Gods. I’ve missed you. You always know what to say.”

“I wish that were true,” Dorian moves to Orym’s side and slides down the wall next to him, pulling the blanket from his bedroll over their laps against the night-time chill. He lets his head thump back against the wood paneling. If he knew what to say Cyrus would probably still be alive. Opal would still have all the feelings and memories that had been torn away by the spider queen. At least Dariax was fine. There, that was one person he’d used the right words for, one person he’d managed to save from the landslide that had become his life… 

Dorian is pulled away from his spiraling thoughts by Orym (probably unconsciously, Dorian thinks) leaning into his side, forcing him to pull his arm out of the way before it gets pinned in an uncomfortable position. He holds it in the air for a moment, unsure, then gives into temptation and wraps it around Orym’s shoulders.

Orym hums softly and leans harder into him. “I mean it. I missed you. I… I thought about you every day.”

“Even on the moon?” Dorian asks with a quiet chuckle.

“Even then,” says Orym, pausing as he yawns so widely Dorian thinks he can hear his jaw creak. Orym presses a palm against his eyes and Dorian can see a faint tremor to his normally steady hands. When he speaks again his voice is quieter, tone approaching dreamlike. “Did you know they call Exandria the ‘blue promise’? They look up at us and have hope for the future. I…”

He cuts off abruptly, turning his face away, though Dorian can still see the flush staining his cheekbones.

They sit quietly for a long moment, then Dorian swallows hard and gathers his courage. “I missed you every day too, Orym. There… there wasn’t a single day I didn’t wish you were by my side.” 

He feels Orym slump against his side, his breath finally evening out into exhausted slumber. With an amused huff the genasi tucks their shared blanket more firmly around them both and rests his cheek against the top of Orym’s head.  

“Hope for the future,” he whispers, breath ruffling Orym’s hair. “There’s worse things to wish for.”

Try as he might, though, sleep is not so quick to claim Dorian. He holds Orym tucked close into his side and thinks of friends lost to objects of immense and powerful darkness. The last thing he remembers before his eyes finally, blissfully, slide shut is the pale streaks of dawn peaking through the window and the creak of floorboards as his wayward companions return.

Somehow posting these makes me feel kinda shy but I suppose today is a good day for it.

Both costumes are handmade by me, but thank you @mousesize for modeling my Dorian so I could be Orym

[freshvanillapng]

god i MISS THEM

[gobliiine]

ah yes, another day of existing in a world where Dorian Storm is still missing in action

[screechingfromthevoid]

Orym is giving very "I have fallen in love again and that feels like a betrayal to my dead husband" energy.

He's also giving "I care so much about my friends and I have to protect them but the love I have for one is so strong that it's distracting me AND it's not fair to the others"

Like there is so much love contained in the Orym and also so much guilt.

(I hope we get exu and the crown keepers back so that Dorian can be his chaotic insane interesting idiot [affectionate] self and we can all stop treating him like he’s just a pretty boy for Orym to pine after) *sent with invisible ink*

[silvertws]

I'm so far behind in Campaign 3 like, episode 77 I think? But by all the posts online I can see Bells Hells seems to be thriving (except FCG womp Womp) which is lovely.

Imma probably just observe funky clips and posts until I get hyper fixated again.

[pinkestpurple]

Is so funny to me that in the beginning of the campaign imogen/laura is like poking fun of orym and dorian, girl the call is coming from inside the house

[ladynearthelake]

Watching CR clips from when the party was separated and the fucking LOOK on Orym’s face when he sees Dorian in that scry is just devastating.
