Lmao okay wait wait hold on
You seriously mean to tell me
That Bellara was already a huge fan of Neve's detective work, as well as already liking to cook her favourite food before knowing a single personal thing about her
Neve takes a trip to Docktown just to get every single newspaper she can find so Bellara can finish her serials
Bellara desperately wants to join the Shadow Dragons
It's Neve who shows up to Cyrian's funeral - not Emmrich the funeral expert who would probably jump at the chance to see a Dalish death ritual, but Neve
And you mean to tell me that they're NOT one of the pairings???
LMAO
""SISTERS""
""""REALLY, REALLY GOOD FRIENDS""""

What do you mean Neve x Bellara isn't a thing in Veilguard. There is a jagged detective who keeps fighting against corruption to protect the neighboorhoud she cares so much about. There is this brillant engineer who works with the lost technology of her people to make sure it doesn't hurt anyone and to help their culture. Neve Gallus' cases are so famous that there are multiple fictions inspired from them, of which Bellara is a great fan of. When they met Bellara totally has a hero crush on Neve, one she must get past because Neve is indulgent and think it's cute, but she is also uncomfortable with how famous her and her cases are and they will work together. Still, Neve keep spending some of her no doubt precious time chasing the serials that Bellara loves so much just to see her happy. Neve paints herself as a cynic and says that after all she had seen the only conclusion is that all her work never seems to matter in the long run, yet she can't help but care and have hope that even the tiniest gesture of kindness could help someone. Bellara appears optimistic and is adamant on believing on happy endings to the point that one could consider her naive, yet she is that way because inwardly she is so, so full of guilt and devoured by the anxiety that things will go wrong and people will die if she doesn't do everything just right. They are both brillant women who have so many things in their heads that they must think about, because they both find meaning in resolving things. They both struggle to think clearly from time to time, struggle to sleep because of it even. Bellara ends up writing her own fictions (or fanfictions?) and I can see her struggling to decide whether it's fair to Neve to be inspired by her because 'oh no she doesn't like it but she is so courageous and intelligent and strong and beautiful...' Also. Neve has a horrible diet and one of the first thing Bellara does to get to know her better is to cook one of her favourite food.

I don’t give a shit what the game does or says
Neve and Bellara get together, they fall in love, they read crappy serials to one another, they smooch to the high heavens.
cynical detective with a soft side + sunshine ADHD mad scientist, it was perfect Bioware.

Random Neve x Bellara headcanons
The reason Neve hasn't had scurvy despite not having veggies for gods know how long is because Bel starts making sneaky veggies recipes. Neve can tell it's veggies (~50-60% accuracy) but eats it anyway (who can resist those big puppy eyes?). Probably threatens anyone on the team who dares telling Bel about the fact that she knows the bread dip has veggies in it.
Bel accidentally invents new poisoning methods while trying to find ways to sneak more veggies into Neve's meals. She doesn't realize she is now on both house Dellamorte and house de Riva' persons of interest list (Neve notices, but can't decipher why, yet).
Bel learns to triple the ingredients whenever they cook together, because while Bel is busy putting an extra kachapuri in an insulated container for Neve's desk, a certain cook assistant takes "a few" bites when the cheese bread is fresh out of the oven.
Bel documents the cases they solve together in a dedicated journal, probably writes it in the style of the serials she likes to read.
Neve starts inviting Bel on Shadow Dragon missions, in which Bel often hides behind Neve because of social anxiety (Dock Town is too crowded).
Bel invites Neve on her field experiments, to which Neve immediately joins because this hyper elf girl might bring the Lighthouse down (there have been close calls).
Neve begins to be more aware of how crazy her sleep schedule is, because Bel gets tired more easily, but still insists on helping. "Alright Bel we need to take a break", which will be met with Bel's high pitch groan about how close they are to solving the case (they are not). Now ironically Neve is the one keeping track of rest schedule and enforcing it.
Neve accidentally finds how hyper Bel gets with coffee after leaving her cup unattended (Bel is so focused on her research she doesn't see what cup she grabs and eventually crashes on Neve's desk.)
The first time Neve hears Bel swears, followed with an angry growl, gritted teeth, and murder stare is when the detective trips mid battle and almost loses her staff (don't worry Bel retrieves it).
The wisps "misplace" Bel's smut with Neve's spicy doodles and both awkwardly pretend they didn't see a thing.

Anyone else kinda into a slow burn Neve/Bellara romance? Like Bel slowly realizing "Oh it's not just hero worship. Oh no, I called us sisters." Ect. And Neve not wanting to "corrupt" Bel with her lifestyle and also thinking it's just hero worship on Bel's side

Not dissing any of the companion romances PLEASE dont get me wrong, however, the ideal companions romances should have been:
Harding/Taash - can stay so cute.
Emmrich/Strife - can also stay, old man yaoi for the win.
Lucanis/Davrin - enemies to lovers would have been so good (and hot).
Neve/Bellara - fan gets her love interest and learns to love her as a real person.

An unsolvable case, really, how she'd ended up falling for someone like Bel. At no point in her life or career would Neve have expected to find herself pining for the ingenue, like some kind of hardboiled prick out of a serial. Less still would she have ever expected it to be reciprocated-- but here they were, playing out the romance subplot like the roles had been written for them. What could she do but play along?

Hello and happy Friday! ^^ How about ""I don't want explanations. I want…" 💋" for Neve and Bellara?
did i get carried away? yes! i had so much fun writing from bellara's pov. veilguard spoilers, read at your own discretion! @dadrunkwriting

notes: bellara follows in varric's friend fiction footsteps and writes her self insert falling in love with neve's character. wingman lucanis
Maybe Bellara went just a bit toooo far. Sometimes that happened. More than sometimes. This whole writing thing had been Neve's suggestion. Well, Neve and Rook's. It was a nice break from interrogating the Nadas Dirthalen made by Anaris the Forgotten One and trying not to think about the fact her brother was serving said Forgotten One. Also that her gods thought it would be fun to try and Blight the world.
There was a lot going on, and sometimes Bellara would rather distract herself. The serials Neve brought her were great, but she always finished them before the next chapter was ready. Then she'd read the week's assigned reading for the book club and get bored, so she'd try one of those large academic tomes Emmrich brought. Which inevitably brought her back to the Nadas Dirthalen and all those thoughts she was trying to avoid.
So she started writing about the Veilguard! It was really fun at first, but she quickly ran into a problem. She caught up to the present day. Which was good, because it meant that she could write about things as they happened. But bad. Really bad, since it meant she was stuck with the original problem. Nothing to do.
One day when Bellara was complaining to Lace, the dwarf shared what she knew about Varric's books. About how Hard in Hightown was based on some of his friends in Kirkwall. Donnen was Donnic, Belladona was Isabela, and Maysie was Merrill. Friend fiction, he'd called it.
It was then that Bellara had the perfect idea. Neve was always saying that the press was giving her a bad rep in Minrathous. So why not write a story about how awesome she was? The Neve Gallus!
Well, clearly the main character couldn't be Neve Gallus exactly. Varric didn't drop his friends straight into the works. No, he gave them new names. So how about Guinevere? It had "neve" in the name, but it wasn't immediately obvious. She could be called 'Gee' for short! Agent Gee? No, that wasn't right.
Neve was a suave detective, so Gee needed to be too. But what was she sleuthing? Maybe... for stolen elven artifacts? No, that wouldn't sell in Tevinter. Which was where Neve needed to fix her image. No, she could be the Bloodhound of Minrathous, stopping blood rituals just in time and tracking down anything lost.
And every hero needed a sidekick. Lucanis seemed like a good option, but he didn't live in Minrathous. He was the Demon of Vyrantium. But maybe she could work with that. Maybe they were instead rival detectives, who shared a sidekick unknowingly. The Shadow of Vyrantium competing with the Bloodhound of Minrathous. Yes!
But who was the sidekick. Maybe they were telling the story. Maybe it was... her? Hmmm, that could work. Lucine, the elven sidekick who could sneak across the city unnoticed. She ran a repair shop in Dock Town and sold second hand and vintage wares.
As Bellara continued to shape the story and write the first chapters, it became quite clear that Lucine was in love with Guinevere. Which was strange. Because Bellara wasn't in love with Neve, right? She knew she liked women, after all she dated Irelin for a while. But Neve?
She continued to write. Gee was developing a crush on the Shadow, who she would later reveal to be Lucine's younger sibling Dellen. They both continued to solve crime in Minrathous and Vyrantium until Lucine got targeted by a scheme. The Shadow and the Bloodhound work together to retrieve Lucine, where they admit begrudging respect for each other. And Lucine confessed her love for Guinevere. And they lived happily ever after.
That felt like a good place to end the book. Rook helped her find a publisher, and it was out in Minrathous. She thought that was the end of that. She'd put her first book out in the world!
But with Neve Gallus, things weren't so. Publishing might have been the step too far. After an excursion to Arlathan with Rook and Lucanis (who politely informed Bellara that her book was very popular among the residents of Treviso), Neve was waiting in Bellara's room, reading through a copy of her book.
To be honest, she'd been shoving down her feelings for Neve in case they weren't returned. Until the crush went away, the book was a good enough outlet. "Guinevere took Lucine's hand and kissed her knuckles, looking reverently at her sidekick," quoted Neve, placing a ribbon in the passage she was on. "I was wondering why so many people were asking me if my full name was Guinevere recently."
Bellara blushed and stammered, "I'm sorry if I put your real name out there, but I wanted the character to be like you but also not you?"
Neve smiled -- a real smile, not the ones she wore when she was patiently putting up with Bellara's rambles. "No. I just think it's sweet what you think of me," she replied, setting the book down on the table. "I hope I have enough stories to fuel your next book."
If it was possible, she flushed an even brighter red. Neve drew closer, and Bellara became immediately aware of the curve of her body, the click of her shoes. The deep cut of her shirt. She gulped. "I think so? I don't know if I'll write another. I mean, you're awesome and deserve to have another written about you, but um. Only if you want me to. I really should have asked," she said, letting her mouth speak whatever words crossed her mind. Mythal'enaste, she hadn't been this flustered since she first met Irelin!
"I'm honoured that you want to write about me. But I think the one thing that's stumped me is who Lucine is. The Shadow, Dellen. That's like Lucanis. There's Guinevere, me. You even had Inge, that was a slick way to get Ingellvar in there. But Lucine?" Neve dissected the book and placed a hand on Bellara's shoulder.
She knew? She had to know, right? There was no way she didn't. She was a detective and had clearly picked up that she'd used last names to inspire first names. Guinevere - Gallus, Dellamorte - Dellen, Inge - Ingellvar. Leaving Lucine - Lutare. Neve had to know. And if she didn't she'd certainly have it confirmed by her facial expressions.
Before she could stammer out an apology or explain it away as just part of the book, Neve started, "Look, I don't need explanations. I need…"
Well, if the nug was out of the bag... Bellara cut her off by standing on her tiptoes to kiss Neve. It wasn't intense really, just a quick peck. Before she embarrassed herself. She already felt like she did, but... Whatever. Also, if she kissed Neve longer she'd want more. And Neve might not want that. "I'm sorry!" Bellara squeaked.
The second part of her apology was cut off by two warm hands grabbing her cheeks and a long kiss on her lips. It began to heat up, as Neve licked and nipped Bellara's lips. A small gasp left her mouth, allowing Neve to slip her tongue into Bellara's mouth.
Someone coughed at the doorway. "I'll just bring your tea later?" Lucanis asked, slowly backing out of Bellara's room. Bellara darted over, grabbing her tea from Lucanis with a smile. She missed the pointed look Lucanis shot Neve over Bellara's thank you hug.
Neve mouthed a thank you to Lucanis, and picked up the book. "I'll be back later, Bell. I'm certain we can come up with more ideas for the next book," she teased.
Elgar'nan, Neve was going to be the death of her.

The real reason why I think it should have been Neve/Bellara and not Neve/Lucanis (tl;dr: I just think it's really funny)
Bellara is so millennial coded. The way she speaks, the quirky awkwardness, the fact she literally is writing romance fiction in her spare time.
The reason I think Neve and Bellara should have been the play is that Bellara is absolutely the girl that wrote 'auctioned off and bought by One Direction' fanfiction that she posted to wattpad. She absolutely has a self-insert oc in her favorite fandom.
So if there is any character whose romance should be 'I met my celebrity crush and it turns out I'm exactly what they want and they fell in love with me' it would be Bellara Lutare. It is just. So millennial fanfic coded. If you don't like that tone in Veilguard it's one thing but you cannot deny that if you meet the game where it's at this absolutely fits Bellara's vibe.

Hello and welcome to dadwc!! For a prompt, for Bellara/Neve, may I submit: “I… can’t actually remember the last time I had something to eat.”
Thank you! A little pre-relationship musings
@dadrunkwriting slight Veilguard spoilers!
Neve walked into the dining room to the scent of buttery pastry and rich meat. Her eyes immediately went to where Rook leaned over the counter, carefully slicing open a wellington she had been working on all day, with Lucanis hovering over her shoulder until she asked for his help. The corner of her mouth twitched into a soft smile. They were good together and would be even better if they stopped dancing around what existed in front of their noses. Neve's eyes shifted to the table where Taash, Harding, and Davrin were already waiting and deep in conversation. Emmrich was off to the side decanting a red to go with the dinner Rook had worked so hard on.
Only one of them was still missing.
Neve wasn't the only who noticed as Rook looked over her shoulder. "Would you mind telling Bellara that dinner is almost ready?"
"Sure thing."
The forever dusk sky over the Lighthouse made telling time nigh difficult, but most of them still managed to settle into a routine. Mostly centered around meal times since all of them struggled with sleep in some way or the other. Still, Bellara often managed to get stuck in her own cycle or working on something until time ceased to exist for her. This wasn't the first time one of them had to track her down to get her to eat or even just to leave her room and stretch her legs. Get some air. Kill some Darkspawn.
Neve gently pushed the door open and sure enough, Bellara was hunched over her desk with goggles on, gently prodding at an artificat with a small metal tool with a focusing crystal embedded in the top. For a moment, Neve just watched as Bellara tilted her head side to side and muttered under breath as she tapped different parts of the artifact with the crystal. A stray lock of hair tickled her cheek and Bellara pushed it away with an annoyed huff. Neve smiled. Watching Bellara deep in her element was something special. The scrunch of her nose as she concentrated. The times she'd worry her bottom lip with her teeth as her thoughts raced to solve a problem. Even when Bellara launched into tangent after tangent, her original point pushed to the side, Neve couldn't help but find her endearing.
She ignored the extra skip of her heartbeat as she crossed the room so Bellara could catch a glimps of her out of the corner of her eye.
"Oh! Neve!" Bellara sat up, mouth curving into a smile. "Did you need something?"
"How long have you been working on this, Bel?" Neve asked instead, leaning her hip against the desk, careful not to jostle anything.
"Oh, only a few hours! I'm so close to getting the etheric tuning right; I just know it," Bellara said, looking back down at the artifact.
"Yeah? Just a few hours? When was the last time you ate?"
Bellara snorted. "I know what I last ate. It was…I…" Her eyes darted around as she tried to mentally calculate the hours. "Well…I maybe, actually, can't remember the last time I had something to eat."
Just as she thought.
"Dinner is ready. Why don't you leave that for later and come join us?" Neve asked, nodding towards the door. "Rook's made something that smells delicious. Would hate for you to miss out."
Bellara looked back to the artifact for a moment before putting down the instrument and taking off her goggles. "Right. I can just pick this back up later."
"You can," Neve confirmed.
Bellara hopped up with a spring in her step, smile blinding, and Neve couldn't ignore the way her heart skipped several beats. This was not part of the job but she couldn't help but lean into Bellara as the woman hooked their elbows together and told Neve all about her project as they walked the short distance to the dining. Neve wished it was longer. That they could have a little more time alone. A thought she tried to quash but it lingered in the back of her mind rather than going into its neat box.
She was in trouble.
