1, 7, & 11 for both ships pls and thank u

Send me Ship asks pretty please!

1. Describe their first date.

Krystal/Bull: Uuuuh, does saving the world count? Asfhklgddhk, But genuinely, i think their first real date would be fighting the Fereldan Frostback in the Hinterlands

Hank/Leigh: Hank invited Leigh to be his plus one to a STEM charity ball, where she pulled out all the stops to look absolutely stunning. She was incredibly nervous about not fitting in with such a formal setting, but she and Hank had a great time and danced like they were the only ones in the room 🥺

7. How often do they say "I love you"?

Krystal/Bull: They say it more non-verbally than aloud, but they do so very often. You'll hear "I love you" from both of them just as often as you'd see their gentle touches, their shared looks, and how much they keep each other close.

Hank/Leigh: All. The. Fucking. TIME. While they do genuinely mean each word, they both thoroughly enjoy being extra cheesy about their affections because they're a couple of hams that love annoying their friends and students. VERY much cheesy, overly dramatic, Gomez- and-Morticia, make the kids gag kind of stuff. Other than that, they also love quoting love poems and songs to each other

11. How do they feel about nicknames/pet names? If they like them, what pet names do they use? If they hate them, why do they feel that way?

Krystal/Bull: You KNOW Bull is all about nicknames and Krystal doesn't mind them at all, but they do keep it simple. Bull calls Krystal Boss or Kadan, and Krystal calls Bull "Beloved".

Hank/Leigh: I don't think either one are partial to nicknames or not. Leigh for sure doesn't like those baby names like "Hanky-poo" or shit like that, but she loooooves hearing the classic, poetic ones. Hank will usually refer to Leigh as "My dear", "my love", "love of my life", etc. Leigh just sticks with "babe", "honey", "Hank dearest" (when he's getting into trouble), or she'll just say "Haaaank~" in a very gentle, soothing tone.

Thank you!!!!!

A fic for my good friend @nakmor-leigh.

I wanna apologise beforehand because it may be a little rough and bumpy, I’m a little rusty in the ol’ writing area, but I still hope you enjoy it.

.

Thom got up at the crack of dawn, as he usually did. The curtains that hung on the bedroom window were thin and allowed the early morning sun to shine right into his and Shokrakar’s bedroom. He usually woke up next to his snoring husband, would get up and make himself breakfast, as well as breakfast for Shokrakar, and their daughter, Rain. He liked it, it was peaceful. Daisy, the nug, would usually be asleep on her satin cushion in the corner of the room, Loaf, the dragon would lay in their living room, curled up on their bearskin rug.

This morning, however, was different. Thom awoke to find himself alone, the sound of Shokrakar’s snoring wasn’t shaking the entire house, the warmth of his large body wasn’t pressed up against Thom, his husband’s muscular arms were not wrapped around him. Daisy’s cushion was also empty. Thom hummed and scratched at his chin. He climbed out of bed, slipping into his slippers and wrapping his robe around his body. He heard bustling down the stairs and made his way down, following the sounds. If he were honest, this all felt a little weird, it was unusual for anyone but him to be awake at this time.

He passed through the living room and noted the lack of Dragon on the rug and made his way to the kitchen. He found Shokrakar there, buttering bread, the picnic basket out on the worktop, some food already inside it. Rain was sat in her chair, happily sipping away at her juice, Daisy was nibbling food from her bowl and Loaf was out in the garden, bouncing around like an excited puppy. Thom couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of his family up so early in the morning, for just a moment, he stood in the doorway and watched.

“Now, this is a surprise,” He smirked. “What has you lot up at the crack of dawn?”

“Forgotten already?” Shokrakar quipped. “We have a playdate planned, remember?”

Thom thought for a moment then he remembered. “Ah, of course, with Krystal and Bull.” He looked down at Rain and smiled, lifting her into her arms to place a small kiss onto her cheek. Rain always giggled at his kisses, his beard tickled her cheek. He wished Rain a good morning before placing her back into her chair.

“Did you really need to get up this early to prepare everything?”

“Rain was so excited that she was up bright and early, I brought her down for breakfast and thought I’d make a head start, you looked so peaceful I thought I’d leave you to sleep.”

“Thoughtful as always,” Thom got up onto his tiptoes and placed a kiss onto Shokrakar’s cheek, holding onto his shoulder to steady himself. Shokrakar always leaned into the kiss, making sure Thom didn’t have to stretch too far and injure himself. “Good morning, my love.” He whispered before going back flat onto his feet.

“Good morning,” Shokrakar replied with a happy hum. “I made fresh juice if you want a glass.”

Thom nodded with a yawn and poured himself a glass. “So, what is the plan for this play date, then?”

“We’re going to have a lovely day, making us a nice picnic and we’re taking Rain and Beryl to a farm to see the baby animals, aren’t we my love?”

“Yes, papa.” Rain nodded with a bright smile, putting her juice down long enough to answer him, spilling some of it on herself in the process.

Shokrakar tutted with a laugh. “Messy, just like your father.”

“Hey I’m not-” Thom went to argue and ended up pouring juice onto himself also. “I suppose you have a point…”

“You and Rain go and get cleaned up whilst I finish up here, I’ll be done soon.”

Thom nodded and took Rain upstairs for a wash and to get ready for the day, washing up the juice quickly so neither of them would be sticky, then picking out their outfits. Rain had a lot of beautiful clothing, mostly picked out by Shokrakar, spoiled wouldn’t be the word to describe Rain but as she was their only child, the two did go overboard sometimes, treating her as much as possible. Thom dressed her in a small pink dress, white roses embroidered onto the skirt.

-

Across town, Krystal and Bull were both lay in bed together, Bull’s arms were wrapped around his wife, holding her close to his chest, a comfortable position they had gotten used to. Bull grumbled as he began to wake up, Krystal had been up for a while but was quite happy to just enjoy being close to her lover, listening to his steady heartbeat, laying securely in his arms. She had no idea the Inquisition would bring her such happiness, it wasn’t an easy path but as she listened to Bull, Krystal knew it was one worth going through. She wouldn’t ever want to be anywhere else.

“Good morning, sleep well?” Krystal asked in a gentle voice.

Bull grumbled, lifting one arm to rub his eyes. “Always sleep well when you’re next to me, Kadan, but waking up to you is even better.” A slight smile curled onto his lips.

Krystal chuckled. “How can you be so sweet when you’ve only just woke up?”

“Eh,” Bull shrugged. “You bring it out of me.”

“Well, I’m very happy that I do.” Krystal leaned up to steal her first kiss of the day, which Bull was more than happy to give her.

After a few moments, Bull sat himself up, stretching with a loud groan. “Busy day ahead?”

“Mhmm, but a very fun one I’ll bet, you know how much Beryl loves Rain, and Shokrakar has been telling me about this new bread he has for weeks now, so he’s making a picnic.”

“Will Thom be joining us?”

“As far as I’m aware.” Krystal sat up, also stretching her joints. She turned to face Bull who was just staring at her, his eyes lit up, unable to hide the smile on his face. “You ok?” She asked with a chuckle.

“You get more beautiful every day, Kadan.”

“O-oh…” Krystal turned bright red, her cheeks flushed. “And you manage to make me blush every day!” She giggled

Bull snorted. “Come on, I’ll make us breakfast, say good morning to my boy.”

Bull and Krystal left their bedroom, Bull went to the kitchen and began to make breakfast. Krystal went into Beryl’s room, he was also up early like Rain, excited for his playdate. She placed many kisses onto his adorable chubby face as she lifted him out of his bed. His large purple eyes always lit up when he saw Krystal, it was obvious that he adored his mother. Krystal carried Beryl to the kitchen where he was greeted by Bull with a huge smile.

“There he is!” Bull cheered, he took Beryl from Krystal and kissed all over his face. He then proceeded to blow raspberries onto Beryl’s stomach, making the little boy laugh loudly and flail his limbs wildly. This went on for a few minutes before Bull allowed his son to catch his breath. He placed Beryl into his chair. “I love him so much.” Bull said quietly to Krystal.

“He loves you just as much as you love him.” Krystal placed a kiss onto Bull’s large arm. “We both think the world of you.”

“The two of you mean everything to me,” he placed his hand onto Kyrstal’s stomach. “And this little one, too.”

“I still haven’t told Shok yet,” Krystal took a seat next to Beryl. “Wanted to keep it between just the two of us for a while.”

“He’s gonna lose it, remember how he reacted when he found out you were pregnant with Beryl?” Bull laughed. “Think he was more excited than we were.”

“He’s a sweet man, must be a Qunari thing.”

“I dunno ‘bout that,” Bull snorted, he plated up breakfast, giving Krystal a little extra since she was eating for two, and served it to his family, joining them in his seat.

The three of them all enjoyed their breakfast, Bull was a good cook, but it was no surprise. Bull wasn’t afraid of spices and different herbs, he liked to try new things and add to recipes and they always turned out delicious, Krystal loved his cooking, as did Beryl. Once they all had finished their breakfast, the family headed to their rooms to begin getting dressed, Bull went by himself whilst Krystal got Beryl ready, picking out an adorable outfit for him to wear, then Krystal herself got ready. They headed out of the house to meet Shokrakar, Thom, and Rain.

-

Thom and Shokrakar were waiting at the farm’s entrance for Bull and Krystal, Shokrakar had hold of Rain, kissing her cheek, Bull carried Beryl on his shoulders. Krystal rushed over Shokrakar as soon as she saw him and threw her arms around him. Shokrakar was so much taller than him, so she was really hugging his leg. Shokrakar laughed and leaned into it, putting an arm around her.

“It’s good to see you.” Shokrakar laughed.

“And you!” Krystal hummed back happily. “Oh, Rain! You look so pretty!” Shokrakar handed Rain to Krystal.

Rain giggled and wrapped her arms around Krystal’s neck. “Auntie Krystal!”

Shokrakar leaned in close and looked into Krystal’s eyes, sniffing the air around her. “T-there’s something different about you?” He raised a brow. “Can’t quite figure out what, though…” he hummed thoughtfully.

“Well…” Krystal laughed a little. “I’ll leave you to try and figure it out.”

“Why don’t we go and find a comfortable place to sit?” Thom suggested.

“Good idea!” Bull nodded.

The group found a nice spot in the grass, Shokrakar lay out the blanket he brought for them all to sit on. He placed the picnic basket down too, but before he could take a seat.

“Papa!” Rain called. “Sheeps!”

“Sheeps?” Shokrakar replied, a little confused.

Daisy pointed to the petting area not too far away. “Sheeps!”

“Ah,” Shokrakar chuckled and lifted Rain into his arms. “Come on then, you coming Beryl?”

“I’ll come, too.” Bull took hold of Beryl’s hand and walked with Shokrakar and Rain to the animals.

Krystal sighed happily. “I love them so much, they're the best thing that ever happened to me.”

“Aye,” Thom nodded and helped himself to some food from the picnic basket. “Dunno where I’d be without Shok and Rain, I dread to think if I’m honest.”

“Well, they’re with you, you have a beautiful family, loving husband, adorable daughter, you’re a lucky man.”

“The luckiest,” Thom chuckled. “And you’re happy too, despite everything, we got happy endings.”

“We did and it isn’t even the end yet.” Krystal smiled and poured herself a drink.

-

Shokrakar sat Rain in his laps and allowed her to pet the animals, as planned. She was over the moon to be stroking the sheep, and rabbits, and goats, giggling loudly every time she touched their soft fur. She petted a lamb on its head.

“Papa’s beard!” She clapped happily.

Shokrakar looked over at Bull. “Suppose I should take that as a compliment?”

Bull nodded. “I would.”

Beryl was also happily petting the animals, holding onto Bull’s hand at the same time. Beryl seemed more interested in the rabbits, running his short stubby fingers along their long ears, his nose copying theirs as they twitched and sniffed. Bull watched with a soft smile, his heart-melting at how adorable his little boy was. Bull squatted down next to Beryl, guiding his hand in a slow, gentle, petting movement along the rabbit.

“There you go,” he hummed. “That’s my boy.”

“He’s a clever lad,” Shokrakar said with a smile.

“Yeah, gets it from his mama.” Bull chuckled. “Gets his good looks from me.”

“I don’t doubt that.” Shokrakar snorted. “Rain has started picking up some of mine and Thom’s habits, her laugh kind of sounds like mine, and she loves to watch him carve his wood models...she’s insightful.”

Bull nodded. “At a curious age?”

“Yeah, not a bad thing, as long as we keep an eye on her, she hasn’t started wandering off yet, but I’m just waiting for the day she tries to.”

Bull raised a brow. “You mean like she is now?”

“Wha-Rain!” Rain was waddling off by herself, not a care in the world. Shokrakar got to his feet and rushed after her, scooping her up. “Don’t run off, I might lose you and pop-pop would kill me.” He told her in a soft but stern voice.

“No harm done, she won’t get very far on these little stumps,” Bull chuckled and gave Rain’s chubby legs a gentle squeeze, making her giggle and kick a little. “Let's head back and get some food, we can see the other animals later.” Bull kept hold of Beryl’s hand and began to lead him back to Krystal and Thom.

Shokrakar put Rain down, allowing her to walk, she quickly made her way to Beryl and took hold of his hand. Shokrakar paused for a moment.

“That’s too damn cute.” He whispered. He trailed behind a little, melting as he watched Rain and Beryl walk together. “Thom! Do you see this?!” He called.

Thom turned his head and couldn’t contain his smile. “Well, would you look at that.”

“Oh my….” Krystal gasped. “That. Is. Precious!”

“Mama!” Beryl called happily and rushed over to Krystal, wrapping his arms around her.

Rain did the same to Thom. “Pop-pop!”

Krystal pulled Beryl into a tight hug. “Hello, my love, did you have fun?”

“I stroked rabbits!” Beryl told her proudly, getting himself sat comfortably on Krystal’s lap.

“How exciting!” Krystal beamed and kissed the top of Beryl’s head.

Shokrakar took a seat next to Thom. “A certain little lady tried to take herself for a stroll.” He told him.

Thom seemed confused for a moment, then it sunk in. “Oh! Oh no...don’t do that, what would we do if we lost you?”

Rain pouted then hid her face in Thom’s chest, Thom stroked her hair slowly. “Just...no running off, ok?”

Rain nodded. “O-okay…”

“That’s my girl, you want your snacks?” Thom asked Rain nodded. He reached into the basket and pulled out some small fruit slices for her. “Beryl, would you like some fruit?”

Beryl nodded shyly, holding out his tiny hands. Thom placed some slices of fruit into his hands, Rain and Beryl happily nibbled away.

Shokrakar gasped loudly. “You’re pregnant!”

Krystal giggled. “I was wondering how long it would take you to figure it out!”

Shokrakar let out a small squeal of excitement. “How far along are you?”

“Just a few weeks.” She rubbed her stomach a little.

“We couldn’t be happier.” Bull wrapped an arm around Krystal and kissed her cheek.

“I’m so happy for you!” Shokrakar dived forward, pulling Bull, Krystal, and Beryl into a tight hug. “Another little person to the family!”

“I told you he’d be excited.” Bull smirked and patted Shokrakar on the back.

The rest of the day was lovely, they ate every bit of Shokrakar’s picnic and he got to excitedly tell them about the bread he had bought. He asked them question after question after question about their baby to be. Thom had to calm him down a few times, but Shokrakar couldn’t contain his excitement for his friends expecting another bundle of joy. When the sun started to go down, they all headed home, Shokrakar carried Rain, who quickly fell asleep in his arms, Bull carried Berly on his shoulders, who soon fell asleep too.

All were happy, tired, and stuffed full of food. Excited for their next play date.

The Iron Bull becomes Tal-Vashoth. The Ben Hassrath send their regards.

The assassination attempt on Bull after Demands of the Qun, but with a personal twist.

[nakmor-leigh]

HEY GUYS LOOK I FOUND A QUNARI PICREW!!

You can only make "male" Qunari but that didn't stop me from making my girl Hissera Hawke and my boy Beryl Trevelyan-Bull~

It's a really great Qunari doll maker!! As you can see, it's got Bull AND DA2 Arishok horns!

[nakmor-leigh]

8, 10 krystabull

FOR THE BEEF

8) In a coffee shop AU, who would be the coffee shop employee and who would be the customer?

Ooooh i think it'd be really cute if BULL was the barista and Krystal was the customer! She's gotta have a coffee in the morning, and Bull makes the best hot cocoa and fraps ANYWHERE. He works there with the rest of the Chargers and they all make sure he serves her when she comes in.

10) What is a small thing that one another does to make their partner happy?

Krystal always keeps lavender scented lotion on her in case Bull's horns get dry, or for when his bad ankle or knee give him trouble and need massaging.

Krystal's education was cut off at a young age. She tries to read to better herself and learn, but she often has a hard time getting into or understanding the book she's reading. When that happens, Bull always picks up where she left off, reading aloud to her and explaining any concept or phrase she isn't familiar with. She loves how patient he is, how he makes it fun, and how he never makes her feel stupid for struggling.

Thank you!

What would be your Inquisitor’s LI’s reaction to seeing a copy of Swords and Shields on their nightstand?

Post your gif response below

[nakmor-leigh]

OTP Asks 28. Give me all the OTPs!❤

HOOOOOOOO BOY

28: Which one owns a pet that the other is absolutely terrified of?

Krystal and The Iron Bull- Krystal has Swish the Raven and Honey the Dracolisk. Honey LOOKS scary, but Bull knows she's sweet but shy. SWISH on the other hand is OBSCENELY territorial with Krystal and her things. He's almost certain Swish is after his fingers.

Krystal and Jaal ama Darav- Neither of them really have pets, but Krystal hangs out a lot with Leigh's pyjack Gizmo and space hamster Butch, and neither of them really scare or bother Jaal lol.

Leigh and Cassandra Pentaghast- Being a werewolf, Leigh IS THE SCARY PET. She doesn't scare Cass though.

Leigh and Vetra Nyx- Vetra isn't scared of Ryder's pets, but she has a VENDETTA against GIZMO THE PYJACK because he's CONSTANTLY getting into the stuff she needs to BARTER

Anita Miranda and Liam Kosta- Anita does NOT have any pets, but Liam is dreams of owning a domesticated adhi one day. That ALONE terrifies Anita

Miriam Hawke and the Arishok- The Arishok has respect for Miriam's mabari, Bronx. The dog is well trained, fierce, and protective of his owner. Bronx respects that the Arishok loves his human, has a great throwing arm for fetch, and claws for great scritches.

Thank you!!

*shows up a whole ass month late for Pride*

My Inquisitor Krystal is bi, Bull is pan, they love each other so fucking much

[nakmor-leigh]

Krystal and Bull celebrate slaying their first DRAGON! Krystal learns more about her lover's culture, and Bull has a drunken confession to make.

This is probably my favorite Bull cutscene. How passionately he talks about dragons, and the way he says “Ataaasheee”. Additionally, if he’s in a relationship with your Inquisitor, he calls them Kadan EVEN BEFORE HE’S GIVEN THE NECKLACE, meaning that he’s felt JUST THAT CLOSE TO THEM for a WHILE NOW.

[nakmor-leigh]

"I killed hundreds of Tal-Vashoth in Seheron. Bandits, murderers, bastards who turned their back on the Qun. And now I'm one of them." "So are you sad about losing what you had, or worrying that some of the Tal-Vashoth you killed were like you?" "I don't know. Both, I guess."

Dialogue given if you pick the “Do you regret killing them?” option after the first flirtation in this scene.

[nakmor-leigh]

The Qunari extend the offer of an alliance to the Inquisition through their agent, The Iron Bull. Krystal is excited to make this historical step, but Bull seems uneasy.

[nakmor-leigh]

The Iron Bull lays down the ground rules for his and Krystal's new relationship. "Ben-Hassrath training, remember? Grew up learning to manipulate people. When it's a hostile target, you give them what they want. But when it's someone you care about, you give them what they need."

[nakmor-leigh]

Bruh I'm fucking CRYING they love each other SO👏DAMN👏MUCH👏😭❤🙌

[nakmor-leigh]

Krystal and Bull discuss their commitment to each other.

They’re so fucking cute, god help me TvT

[nakmor-leigh]

With a dragon's tooth cleaved in two and fashioned into a necklace, Krystal confesses her commitment to Bull.

Woops, I accidentally stopped uploading these. Here’s that one famous scene!
