11!

(Wren/Josie)

11. Pressing a chaste kiss to inner wrists

MY GIRLS MY GIRLS MY GIRLS!!

__________

"The Inquisitor is at it again, I see." Leliana didn't even bother to hide her amusement as she came to a stop next to Josephine.

"It" being a new round of training since losing her hand. Gone were the days when Wren could wield her monstrous warhammer and send her opponents flying like rag dolls amongst chunks of rock and earth.

Now she needed to work on the finesse of a sword, and get used to the feel of the shield contraption attached to her left arm. None of it had been easy, but she was improving by leaps and bounds every day.

So much so she was back to running makeshift tourneys with the recruits. All the young soldiers would lineup for a chance to face off against Wren. Bets were placed on the sidelines, just like the old days, while Cullen watched hawk eyed from the side lines to assess his soldiers.

They had been at it for a while now, and Wren was doing quite well for herself. She wasn't up to par with how she was before, but she still managed to win every bout thus far.

Sweat poured down her face, and she had stripped off her tunic in favor of the thin shirt she wore beneath. Josephine had not spent the better part of the morning admiring Wren's arms. Or her back. Or any part of her, really.

"She is doing quite well today." Josephine commented, simply because she knew she had to say something.

"Her form is definitely improved," Leliana said thoughtfully. "Put her in some proper armor, and she would cut quite the dashing figure. Like a knight out of one of Varric's novels. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, I suppose so," Josephine said.

"Perhaps a favor would bolster her, she does seem to be waning a bit."

Indeed Wren was starting to slow down, her blocks a little late and her hits a little light. Josephine would say that she needed to call it a day, but Wren was nothing if not stubborn so she doubted she would heed her advice on the matter. Although a break would do her some good, at least.

Without a word to Leliana, she strode forward to the makeshift practice ring, specifically to the bucket of water the troops used to drink. She scooped up some of the clear water with one of the ladles hooked to the side, careful not to slosh it down her front, and beckoned Wren over.

She was in between bouts, so she accepted the invitation. Carefully laying down her practice sword and unbuckling the shield from her arm. Without needing to be asked, Cullen stepped in to run the recruits through some drills to keep them entertained.. and perhaps distracted.

"You look parched," Josephine held out the ladle.

"Guess it is time for a break, huh?" Wren wiped at her brow. "Not as young as I used to be."

"Is the great Inquisitor Adaar admitting defeat?"

She snorted loudly before slugging back a drink of water. Josephine was certain she flexed her arm on purpose with the motion, head tilted back just a little too far in order to expose her neck.

"Nope, just admitting that these kids are putting me through my paces." She eyed Josephine askance, lips curving slowly. That was never a good sign. "Don't worry, you'll still be able to put me through my paces later. Not that old yet."

"Wren!" Josephine hissed. "Everyone will hear you."

"So?" She dropped the ladle into the water bucket, and reached out for Josephine's hand to lace their fingers together. "Not like they don't know we're together."

Wren bent down to brush a kiss against Josephine's knuckles, eyes locked with hers. Perhaps Leliana was right, she did make for a fine knight. Josephine's heart fluttered in her chest when Wren turned over their linked hands, and laid another kiss to the inside of her wrist.

Maker, but she was too charming by half.

Josephine could only stand there, utterly enchanted, as Wren placed a series of soft kisses to her cheek, the corner of her mouth, before finally claiming her lips. A long moment later Wren broke the kiss, and leaned in close to brush her lips against the shell of Josephine's ear.

"Although if anyone doesn't know we're a couple. I'll just have to make sure they hear you, later."

"Wrenelia!" Josephine could feel the heat flooding her cheeks.

She tried swatting at Wren, only to have her dance away while laughing loudly. Wren blew a kiss at Josephine as she backed away, her grin wide and impetuous.

Maker take her, but Josephine loved her.

Feature: Avant-Garde Escape Strategies

[A Bewick’s wren perches motionlessly on a thin branch.] In 2017, Twin Peaks is an invigorated brand. It has awoken as if to a new life, walks and breathes more freely. It is viewed on laptops, tablets, phones, and smart televisions connected to Netflix, and it will soon be viewed on SHOWTIME. But how will Twin Peaks be viewed in the year 2117? On what devices? Will it be viewed at all, or will its exact content be experienced in some truncated, more immediate form, facilitated by body-altering technologies yet to be discovered? Who are the people who download Twin Peaks to their brains in the future? Where do they live? These are the kinds of questions SHOWTIME will have to answer in order to ensure the continued relevance of the reawakened, newly optimistic, and hungry Twin Peaks brand. Maybe those viewer-subjects live in a huddled condition, in what philosopher Peter Sloterdijk calls “ecological stress communes,” pressed inland and away from cultural centers now remembered and revered like ancestors, jostled about by resource scarcity, plagued by ridiculous fantasies of aliens and sea people punctuated by actual disaster, war, and collapse. Or maybe these troubles loom on their horizon. In the face of these real nightmares, do they dream of ending up in a place like Twin Peaks, of grappling with its fake demons? Maybe future Twin Peaks viewers see in it a refreshingly provincial vision of encompassing crisis. A town where a yellow light still means “slow down” resonates abstractly with them. They are absorbed by the dark forces stirred out of the brown-gray American forest, by the murder of the cocaine-addicted homecoming queen and secret prostitute. Maybe, naive to the reality of their own circumstances, they feel like Dale Cooper chasing after those elusive and idealized spirits. The X-Files at least has something like a vision of the future, where Twin Peaks only has a vision of the past, and a pretty abstruse one at that. The forces that will carry The X-Files and Twin Peaks together into the cruel future are similar, but not the same. The X-Files, in its simulation of a crackpot investigation motivated less by superstition than clandestine knowledge and bizarre technology, at least has something like a vision of the future, where Twin Peaks only has a vision of the past, and a pretty abstruse one at that. If, disingenuously, The X-Files sought to domesticate the demons split open by modern techniques of investigation, Twin Peaks was overcome by its monsters, disenchanted and reduced to an incomprehensible aesthetic litany. Where The X-Files resolved about a mystery per episode, Twin Peaks lacked satisfying answers. And while we don’t know how Twin Peaks will be viewed in the future, SHOWTIME is wise to bet on disenchantment, on unanswered questioning and the melting of things into dark, muddy pictures. --- [Three white plumes ascend from the smokestacks ahead.] You wake up from an unclear dream in the late afternoon. The year is 2011 or 2012. Your room is dark and warm. Your laptop is next to you, partly covered by sheets. Disoriented, you rub gunk out of your eyes. You were up late browsing Tumblr again. Your laptop screen opens upon your unrefreshed dashboard, where you had fallen asleep to a looping GIF of Laura Palmer’s freeze-framed VHS smile from “Pilot (Northwest Passage).” You “like” the post. Co-created by David Lynch, a pioneer of American avant-garde cinema known for such films as Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive, the show mixes Lynch’s unique brand of surrealism with a dated form of the primetime drama in a way that you’ve enjoyed since you were introduced to the show by friends on the internet. One of the many reasons you love Twin Peaks is that its characters feel like people you know in real life, even though everything else in the show feels very unfamiliar. Twin Peaks makes you nostalgic for a time you don’t remember and a place that doesn’t exist. Animation: Korey Daunhauer Twin Peaks makes you nostalgic for a time you don’t remember and a place that doesn’t exist. Before you knew who David Lynch was, you had seen Laura Palmer wrapped in plastic, an icon of ossified innocence. It would take Lynch and Mark Frost a while to notice, or to do anything about, the fact that Twin Peaks had taken about 20 years to strike the nerve it was always supposed to hit, the one in you. Maybe they were too cynical, too forward-thinking. They thought your parents would be like this. Or, more likely, the conversation they staged between the avant-garde and its supposed opposite traumatically fell through, revealing, eventually, the uncanny mixture obscured by those labels, which they never knew how to control. It took a while to work itself out. By eventually thickening the show with supernatural diversions and visually peculiar dream sequences, ultimately leaving many of its mysteries unsolved, Lynch and Frost created the perpetual conditions for a scrupulous, even paranoid viewing of Twin Peaks. The question is how the show’s visual language, founded upon a mostly-arbitrary complexity inherited equally from Lynch’s experimentalism and from the genre within which it is put to work, means anything at all after the fact of its disenchantment — aestheticized, separated from the ostensible movement toward resolution. Or, as Anamanaguchi’s Peter Berkman put it in a reply to a comment on one of his Facebook status updates, “the question is how that grammar has changed now that we can pause and dissect individual frames in and out of context.” You close your eyes, take a deep breath, and keep scrolling Tumblr. --- [Sparks fly from the grinding wheel as you move in for a closer look.] INT. GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL DINING AREA - MORNING Sunlight pours into the room from the right. DALE COOPER sips coffee, his tape recorder placed neatly in front of him on the table. COOPER Diane, the time is 8:05 A.M., I’m at the Great Northern Hotel. I’ve just awoke from a terrible and convoluted dream. I’m not sure how much of it was significant to the inquiry into Laura Palmer’s death and how much of it was fabricated by BOB for the purpose of diverting it; to be honest, I’m not even sure if BOB or the Black Lodge are real anymore. I don’t know if I care or if the outcome of the investigation is important to me. I feel terrible. I lied awake in bed for a few hours. I feel like I’m living in someone else’s bizarre fantasy. (He pauses.) I mean, I guess her dad did it? I live at this hotel now. BOBBY BRIGGS enters from the GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL LOBBY holding a football. BOBBY Hey, Coop! Catch! BOBBY throws COOPER the football. COOPER fails to catch the football and it hits his tape recorder, sending it flying into the mug of coffee. COOPER B-Bobby! I — AUDREY HORNE enters from the GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL LOBBY smoking a cigarette, holding an iPhone. AUDREY (puffing cigarette) “When the masses think, the intellectual dies.” –Antonio Negri --- [A massive log looms atop a dolly.] Was Twin Peaks an attempt to make the masses think, to think with the masses and to kill the intellectual, or to think of the masses? To create an intellectual picture of their supposed fears and superstitions, their vices and neuroses? First, there’s Cooper and his obsession with an idea of homespun authenticity, one of the show’s biggest memes. There’s also Harry S. Truman, the sheriff, well-intentioned and pragmatic; Bobby Briggs, the football star, surly and unpredictable; the show’s various tokens of the bumbling serendipity of small-town America (Andy the cop, Pete the loyal husband); and the town’s enigmas and obsessives (James the boyishly gilded biker, Leland Palmer, Lawrence the shrink, and Harold the shut-in). Then, there’s a group of female characters, beginning with Laura and growing to include Shelly Johnson, Donna Hayward, Audrey Horne, Norma Jennings, Josie Packard, Lucy Moran, and Catherine Martell, who are depicted at best as seriously or repeatedly traumatized and, at worst, as stupid or possessed by some unknown whim, complicit in their own undoing. Where the town of Twin Peaks is bottomless in its dark mythology, it is flat in other ways. The image of community in Twin Peaks is convincing, actually, because it is not realistic. It is a vision of the countryside native to the city and is nonetheless awkward in representing both. FBI agents and industrialists, the show’s main representatives of the latter, view the fixed category of “provincial values” with lust or disdain. The working assumption is that the city is a place that mystery and magic have abandoned in favor of particular backwaters. That urban coexistence is antithetical to wonder. Moby’s “Go,” the popular rave-inspired electronica single based on a sample of Angelo Badalamenti’s theme music for Twin Peaks, is both clearer about who it is talking to and more successful in its attempt to practice an inclusive form of mastery over its created public than the show itself. As I drive east on Phoenix’s Loop 202 away from the setting sun, “Go (Woodtick Mix)” fades into “Go (Soundtrack Mix),” a line of a hundred cars curving delicately to the returning, quantized “yeahs.” --- [A waterfall crashes.] Everybody needs an escape from the avant-garde. To think all of the time is difficult, and it seems better that one find some place of negotiation, where many people think more and few people think less. As an escape strategy, Twin Peaks faltered in its weirdness, its stubborn maintenance of a position among the few. It was, moreover, unrealistic in its concept of the many. Gesturing toward the avant-garde, it failed there most spectacularly; no matter the depth of the perennial ebb and flow of interest in Lynch’s work, it will always make complete sense to me that Fire Walk With Me was booed at Cannes. If Lynch’s murderous backwater is perfectly fitted to the fetishes and anxieties of today’s teenagers, it is only because they have many of the same fetishes and anxieties as their parents, who watched with baited breath until the questions and clues lost their impact. Lynch’s vision of provincial intrigue said more about the values and aesthetics of America’s cities than its towns, and it appeals to we who carry with us everywhere a version of what Lynch saw in the city. If Lynch’s murderous backwater is perfectly fitted to the fetishes and anxieties of today’s teenagers, it is only because they have many of the same fetishes and anxieties as their parents, who watched with baited breath until the questions and clues lost their impact. Today, Twin Peaks exists against the backdrop of a nostalgia cult. Millennials, lacking spiritual unity and drawn to promises of darkness, are fascinated. Resuscitated by the esoteric magic of the brandscape, will Twin Peaks really walk and breathe more freely, as if awoken to a new life, and find something like that original sense of purpose? Or will it lose its way again in the smoke and mirrors of a shoddily constructed model of the public? --- On this auspicious morning for Twin Peaks, you languish in your room, thinking of the past. Of dead memes, content dampened and wrapped in plastic. Sometimes you wish you could immaterialize, becoming the unfeeling aggregate of your social footprint. You dream of disappearing into a fog of blogwave, street style, spicy memes, or Twin Peaks. Other times, you feel surprisingly up to the task of remaining an aggregate of relations. Your mental image of your environment sometimes appears in the form of a monster you are working to vanquish. With an intoxicated discomfort like nausea, you realize that Laura never lived in a world, had a future. That the real mysteries were yours. --- [You approach a wooden sign on the right side of the road.] http://j.mp/2pXgudV

OC of your choice: Exhausted parents kiss

Since I figure Wren and Josie end up adopting like a baseball team

“I’m never moving, ever again!” Wren moaned, collapsing back onto the bed, her arm flung dramatically over her eyes as she sighed loudly.

Josephine rolled her eyes, and started to pick up the trail of discarded outerwear and boots that Wren had left in her wake. She placed the damp boots by the fire, hung up the scarf and jacket in the wardrobe.

“You were the one who started it, mi amor,” she said lightly, making her way toward the bed.

Wren lifted her arm, blinked open one eye to glare at Josephine. “They,” she stressed, “were the ones who started it. I finished it.”

Laughing softly, Josephine sat on the edge of the bed. Ran a hand over the top of Wren’s head, between her horns, and found her hair was damp from all the snow. The children had thought it would be funny to attack their mama with a bundle of snowballs the moment she had appeared outside – after much goading and pleading and flatout begging – the resulting war had lasted for hours as Wren refused to concede.

“I am sure they have learned an important less,” Josephine said in all seriousness, even as she noticed movement at the door to their bedroom.

She had to presse her lips to keep from laughing as she noticed the gaggle of kids quietly sneaking forward, a sheet piled high with powdery snow clutched between them. Josephine watched as they all crept forward, trying not to laugh; she pressed a finger to her lips.

“Just remember something?” Josephine said quietly, leaning forward and pressing to her exhausted wife’s lips.

“What’s that?”

“They take after you,” she replied before quickly jumping off the bed just the kids upended the snow all over Wren.

67 for Josephine and your Adaar

67. When One Stops The Kiss To Whisper “I’m Sorry, Are You Sure You-” And They Answer By Kissing Them More

Life always seemed to take interesting, unexpected turns. That was how Wren had ended up with the Valo-kas, at the Conclave, and with a glowing green anchor fucking attached to her hand. 

This turn, however, was a far more pleasant one. In fact, if all the other things had just been leading up to this moment, she thought it might actually all be worth it. 

She and Josephine were stretched out on the obnoxiously large, and opulent bed in the Inquisitor’s quarters. Wren had always thought it ridiculous, since she was usually just fine sleeping on the floor or ground, but in the current moment it didn’t seem to so bad; not with Josephine partially draped over her, her lips hardly ever leaving Wren’s as they stole soft kisses in the warm, afternoon sun streaming through the high windows. 

Wren knew eventually duty would call and Josephine would answer, because of course she would. However, for the time being it was quiet and peaceful and nothing else really mattered except the beautiful Antivan. 

That was when there was a knock on the door, a muffled voice calling for them, since apparently everyone knew if Josephine wasn’t at her post, she was with the Inquisitor. Wren didn’t really care. 

She fully expected Josephine to withdraw, quickly start straightening out her clothes and fixing her hair. But she remained exactly where she was, lips firmly attached to Wren’s. 

“Leave it,” Josephine whispered, to Wren’s utter surprise. She pulled back, looked Josephine in the eye.

“I’m sorry, are you sure–” She was cut short when Josephine pressed her lips to Wren’s again, and it was all the answer Wren needed. The inquisition could wait.  

[antivanruffles]

41 for josiadaar?

41. a kiss because the world is saved (I went self indulgent again and used my Wren Adaar)

There was a sense of relief, so overwhelming it practically made her knees weak. There was a sense of shock, it was over. It was all over. All of Wren’s exhaustion and worry seemed to ebb away, floating far from her like jetsam carried off by a swift current. 

Seeing the happy faces of those gathered in Skyhold bolstered her mood even more, they no longer looked grim and frightened, but bright and elated. Their shouts rang out, a cacophony of joy. She could see lights dancing in the distance, mages sending out colorful bursts in celebration. 

Though all of that faded once she glanced toward the steps leading to the main hall, dimly aware of Leliana and Cullen cheering. Really, Wren only had eyes for Josephine. 

With a bust of energy that should not have been impossible after so much time spent fighting, Wren bounded up the steps. Barely sparing the others a glance as she wrapped her arms around Josephine’s waist, and yanked her up into an enthusiastic hug, spinning her around while she laughed. 

Setting Josephine down again, and completely uncaring of all the eyes on them, Wren bent her head and captured Josephine’s lips in a kiss. Never in her life, had she been more happy. 

[antivanruffles]

Wren and Josie! (I miss Dragon Age!)

notp / not really / meh / I could / sometimes / maker, yes / my otp babbies

Who is the most affectionate?

I think Josie is more freely affectionate. There’s a since of professionalism, but she doesn’t mind a little PDA when it’s friends. In private though Wren is super cuddly and affectionate and just GLOMS Josie. 

Big spoon/Little spoon?

I think they switch off. Because like Wren is physically bigger, and she likes to cuddle Josie but being Inquisitor is haaarrrdd and sometimes you just gotta be the lil spoon. 

Most common argument?

The fact Wren is a giant reckless idiot. 

Favorite non-sexual activity?

I headcanon they’re both foodies, so there’s lots of exploring different delicacies and all that. 

Who is most likely to carry the other?

Wren will carry Josie at the slightest inclination, what else are you gonna do with your smol gf who lets out such cute squeals whenever you scoop her up?

Nicknames?

I don’t think they have petnames or anything like that, except Wren will call Josephine ‘Josie’. And if Josie is in a mood, and Wren has been particularly daft, “Wrenelia” will get thrown about. 

Who worries the most?

I think they both excessively worry about different things. Josie worries about Wren getting herself killed. Wren worries about.... everything else. 

Who tops?

I think Wren has more experience... so I guess she takes the lead more often?

Who initiates kisses?

Both. They’re gross. 

Who wakes up first?

Josephine usually, just because she wakes up at the same time every day. Wren can be an early riser, but other times she can be a nightmare in the morning if she hasn’t had enough sleep. 

Who says I love you first?

Josie. Wren thinks it first, from like basically the first minute they meet, but she doesn’t think it would work out.

Kiss at dawn for Josephine and Wren, please! :D

Slowly, careful not to wake Wren, Josephine untangled herself from the sheets and slipped out of bed. Grabbing her robe from the chair beside the bed, she quietly shrugged into it as she padded out onto the veranda. Creeping ivy wound its way up the side of the building, and along the wrought iron railing, and the heady scent of fresh blooms hung in the air, coiling up from the planters peppering the tiled floor.

In the distance the waves of Rialto Bay could be heard, crashing on the shore as a few gulls circled in the sky, dark blotches against the slowly brightening sky. She watched as the dark navy bled into indigo as the stars started to blink out of sight. The sun crested on the horizon, golden beams shooting out and bouncing off the water.

Josephine stood still, enjoying the moment in silence until an arm slipped around her shoulders, and a chin rested heavily on the top of her chin.

“You’re awake,” she said, surprised. Usually it took an act of the Maker himself to get Wren out of bed before the sun was fully risen.

“Mm,” was the mumbled reply. Apparently she was only barely awake. A long moment passed in comfortable silence, both watching as the sun slowly rose over Rialto. “I missed my wife,” Wren said, eventually breaking the silence.

Josephine giggled, the novelty of it still a bit intoxicating. She turned around, slid her arms around Wren’s waist. The sun was just starting to reach them, barely warming on Josephine’s back. And hardly comparable to the warmth in her chest.

Lifting up onto her tiptoes, she kissed Wren softly. A perfect start to their honeymoon.

[antivanruffles]

Feed my thirst - any DA pairing for #27 - also if you don’t have a patreon, you should.

27. a kiss as a suggestion. (ooh la la… okay I went self-indulgent with Josephine and my Quizzy, Wren Adaar)

I don’t have a patreon, I’m not sure what I would do for one? But that is like the nicest thing ever and I CRY! ;-;

Wren had never been good with the political side of things that came with being Inquisitor. Give her a war hammer, or even a sword and shield, and she was happy. Jumping into the situation headfirst to rectify the problem.

However, the ‘slash and bash’ method was not ideal for most political endeavors. Unless all the talking had been exhausted, and you were in need of some brute force. Though she did usually try to avoid that, at the behest of her advisors.

All of that was exactly why the Exalted Council was her worst nightmare. Talking, talking, talking. More talking and ranting and some yelling. But even that wasn’t nearly as interesting as it should have been.

What she wanted to do most, was to go find a quiet place to sit for a moment, and hopefully ease the headache that was starting to bloom behind her eyes. Trying to focus her gaze, Wren noticed movement… noticed people leaving. Oh, Maker, was it over? She hadn’t been paying the least bit of attention.

“Are you well?” Josephine asked, leaning in close.

“Just a little headache. I think I… may have missed something.” She ducked her head.

“A recess, mi amor.” Josephine stood up, rested her hands gently on Wren’s shoulders. “You can go lie down if you like? I can fetch you when it’s time to return?”

Wren caught one of Josephine’s hand, brought it to her lips. “You could lie down with me?”

“I fear I must decline, I have too much to do in the meantime.” She leaned forward, kissed Wren’s cheek softly. “But later,” she whispered in her ear before pulling back.

Josephine started gathering up her things. Her gaze eventually drifting back toward Wren. She giggled. “Pouting won’t work.”

“What about sulking?” Wren asked, trying to look as pitiful as she possibly could. Josephine debated that for a moment, looking at her pile of notes and out the window, around the room at large. Though it was empty now.

“A five minute cuddle, and that is it!”

“Deal!” Wren leaped up from her chair, and grabbed Josephine’s hand. 

[antivanruffles]

“Your bed head is really cute” for Wren and Josie, because I can't get enough of those nerds.

Wren wondered why she’d gotten the room with all the windows. All the windows that had no coverings. Windows that let in far too much light. 

Stumbling from bed, sheets tangling around her feet, Wren hopped and yelped until she was freed, and glared down at the offending thing. Honestly, the Inquisitor taken out by a blanket. 

Cursing under her breath, Wren realized that she was alone in the room. Which meant Josephine had likely gone down to work on the stack of documents that never seemed to lessen on her desk. 

Though at that moment a familiar dark head of hair appeared at the top of the steps. Josephine was humming a tune, carrying a tray of breakfast foods. Honestly, it still boggled Wren’s mind that Josephine was a morning person. A chipper morning person at that. Wren probably would’ve found it incredibly annoying if she didn’t love Josephine so much. 

“Oh, you’re awake!” Josephine said. She stopped at the settee by the stairs, setting down the tray. When she straightened up and looked at Wren, her face softened.

“What?” Wren asked, suddenly feeling incredibly self-conscious. 

“Nothing. Only your bedhead is very cute.” Josephine stepped closer and lifted up on her tiptoes, brushing back some of the frizzy white strands. 

“Uh...” Wren breathed, unable to think much of anything beyond the fact that Josephine smelled incredible... as usual. And that she was very soft and very warm, leaning slightly into Wren’s side. 

“Come, we can share some breakfast before my first meeting.” Josephine started to pull away, but Wren caught her wrist, yanking her close again.

“We will. In a minute, but I have something else I want to do first.”

Josephine flushed slightly, lips curling in a wicked little smile. “And what might that be?” 

Instead of answering, Wren dipped her head and captured Josephine’s lips in a kiss.
