[invinciblerodent]

"I need to rein it in, I don't know the characters yet, so I won't write fic about them- it'd just end up being out of character anyway."

(proceeds to write like four pages)

"well, okay, that's.... fine, it's ambiguous enough, they barely speak. but i won't mention the kind of tattoos this character is supposed to have without seeing what options I have for them in the cc, just to keep things neat and canon-accurate."

(proceeds to spend like half an hour brainstorming ideas for exactly that)

dadwc prompt list/info

general info:

I'm most familiar with the Inquisition roster, and I've played Origins enough to get a handle on those guys, I think. DA2, I haven't played as much. I'd avoid Awakenings and Absolution for now, because I haven't got around to them yet. I also haven't played Veilguard, but I'm developing some Rook ideas.

Please specify the prompt list you're using, if you can, so I can link back to it. Don't worry if you can't.

I'll be reposting stuff to AO3 by default, but if you'd rather I didn't repost for your prompt, I will absolutely respect that.

OT3/poly prompts are welcome, cracky ships are welcome, rarepairs are welcome. "LI swaps" are welcome (e.g. my Surana romances Alistair in my game, but you can request her with Morrigan, for example. Or a non-romanceable character. Anything you like). Nothing really grim, though, please.

If you send me prompts for platonic interactions, I will love you forever. I will give you a little digital kiss/hug/handshake/high five/wave.

If you send me something that I have a real mental block against for some reason, I will let you know and you can send in another prompt, if you want to.

If I combine prompts, I'll post one with a screenshot of the other(s), and privately answer the other ask(s) to link you up.

prompt fills

Blood of the Crow || Two Hands Longing (For Each Other's Warmth) || Tempting Fate || An Unfriendly Wager || Shadows and Tall Trees || Sanctuary || Easy Like a Sunday Morning || From Childhood's Hour || Scathefire || A Rose Upon a Thorn || Let Me Walk (Before They Make Me Run) || Risk My Hands to Pick Up Shards || Fair Game || Safe Under Cover || The Beginning of All Things || Aisling Lavellan Makes Her Mark || The Safest Place to Hide (NSFW) || You Will Find Him Next to Me || Don't Look Back Into the Sun || Planning Permission || The Nug King's Prize

prompt lists

I have a whole tag for story prompts and ask games HERE; this is just a selection of various types and topics. Again, please include the name of the list if you can, but don't panic if you're on mobile or just forget.

unusual words and Raleigh's lost words

adventuring party dialogue pt. 2 and pt. 3

fantasy settings starters

my ocs

canon protagonists:

Eireann Surana, Hero of Ferelden - City elf mage, arcane warrior and spirit healer, wielder of Spellweaver. Mother of Farah. Radically kind, values honesty, wishes she didn't have to keep so many secrets. A good tactician. (she/her, bisexual)

Rian Hawke, Champion of Kirkwall - Human hedge mage, force mage. On the diplomatic side of sassy, or the sassy side of diplomatic, depending on your view, but always aims for compassion. (they/them, pansexual)

Gideon Lavellan, Herald of Andraste - Dalish storm mage, Knight-Enchanter. Twin brother of Athim, brother of Aisling. Cunning, and good-hearted, a great believer in uplifting the downtrodden. His title is a burden, but he tries to use his power for good. (he/him, gay)

my other characters (I made characters to try out most of the Inquisition romances, and ended up shoving them all into my canon for funsies):

Athim Lavellan - Dalish mace-and-shield reaver. Twin sister of Gideon, sister of Aisling. Honest and inventive, good with problem-solving. Shares her brother's dry humour. (she/her, bisexual with a preference for men)

Kali Lavellan - Dalish dual-dagger tempest, sketches anything and everything. Perpetually anxious, and hides it well until she doesn't. Always goes the extra mile. (she/her, bisexual)

Sigyn, the Lady Archer - City elf mage of the Kirkwall Circle, escaped at the age of fifteen. Mother of Camile. Isn't used to being around people. Angered by injustice, will always protect those in need, but still building her social confidence. (she/her, grey-ace)

Farid Adaar - Tal-Vashoth mage, shapeshifter. Level-headed and kind-hearted, mellow until a game board or cards come out. A friend to all living things. (he/him, aroace)

Basvaarad Adaar - Tal-Vashoth rift mage, freed saarebas. Says little, and chooses his words carefully. Painfully shy, but loves deeply and well. (he/him, they/them, bisexual)

Nanna Adaar - Half-dwarf Vashoth, two-handed warrior, non-verbal. Brash and hot-tempered, but easily mollified. Very protective of people she loves. A lover of all physical contests. (she/her, lesbian)

Torunn Adaar - Vashoth archer and midwife. In-game she's an artificer, but in my heart she's a bard. Boisterous but emotionally intelligent and always eager to learn new things. Has big sister energy. (she/her, bisexual greyromantic)

Farah Surana - daughter of Eireann Surana and Alistair Theirin. Gregarious and inquisitive, she could make a friend in an empty room. (she/her)

Camile - adopted daughter of Sigyn. Shy and quiet, but always eager to help. Still learning to trust people to help her where she needs it. (she/her)

Aisling Lavellan - baby sister of Gideon and Athim Lavellan. She's brought to Skyhold to live with them after their parents are killed in the fighting in Wycome. Still finding her feet, but curious about everything. A budding creative. (she/her)

my 'ships

As I said, I'm up for trying most any ships, but these are all the ones I have in my verses:

Gideon Lavellan/Dorian Pavus

Eireann Surana/Alistair Theirin

Eireann/Alistair/Kali/Cullen

Torunn Adaar/Cullen Rutherford (whom the AU is named for!)

Athim Lavellan/Josephine Montilyet

Basvaarad Adaar/Cassandra Pentaghast

Gideon Lavellan/Solas

Kali Lavellan/the Iron Bull/Dorian Pavus (Bull is romantically/sexually involved with both Kali and Dorian, but Kali and Dorian are completely platonic)

other ships I enjoy but don't have anywhere specific to put, really

Basvaarad Adaar/Solas

Rules:

Show us what they look like!

Tag at least 5 (or more) followers and 5 blogs you follow! :)

Enjoy writing! :}

I was tagged by @keeperscompanionsdai thank you beautiful! 

Tagging: @heraldofwho @dreadhobo @shannaraisles @sarcastichawkeftw @tessa1972 @red-wardens @fade-footprints @dickeybbqpit  No pressure! Only if you guys want to :) 

Faeron Lavellan

Varric ~ Dreamy? He’s a great kid! Needs to work on his tells in wicked grace though. At the moment he’s on par with, Daisy, and her giggling every time she gets a good card.

Sera ~ He’s a tit. (Manic giggles) ... Now we make, ‘not shitty’ cookies together.

Blackwall ~ Faeron is a good man. Brave, kind, and honest... We could all learn a lot from him.

Bull ~ Ahh, the boss is a cupcake. Sweet, pretty lookin’ and crumbles under pressure.

Dorian ~ Glorious, isn’t he? 

Cole ~ He dances and the magic dances with him. They are one... But.. Entangled, hurting sharp and scared. It pricks him like thorns on a rose.

Solas ~ I find it sad that someone with his talents doesn’t take the time to properly hone his gifts. 

Vivienne ~ Darling man. Far too soft for his own good. Of course, he’d be dead several times over by now if not for the shrewd company he keeps.

Cassandra ~ He is... A very kind man, unfortunately, I worry he carries the life of every single man and woman under the inquisition’s banner on his shoulders. I fear he will be forever changed when we are done. 

Nico ~ (smirking) He’s the reason I’m here. 

Das (AU) ~ My starshine can make a nug taste like Andraste’s arsehole. Now if that ain’t magic, I dunno what is! 

Nico Lavellan 

Cassandra ~ Nico is a good friend. I admire the deep love she has for her brother. She has also proven a fine and capable leader. 

Bull ~ She’s HOT.

Varric ~ Firecracker is a nice girl, you just gotta... break through the stone shell surrounding her to find it. 

Solas ~ Capable, strong, and clever. She is a fine leader, and a credit to her clan. 

Blackwall ~ She is... spirited? And terrifying. I’m glad we have Faeron to balance the scales...

Sera ~ She’s pretty, and fit, but a bit of a physco at times and a bit too elfy at others. Nice arse though.

Cole ~ She doesn’t like I can see what scares her. Then she burns with fire and rage and I go away again. 

Vivienne ~ Now, if we could get her to be half as charming as that brother of hers, she could be a master of the game. And I don’t say that lightly. 

Dorian ~ (chuckles) Oh no. I’m not stupid enough to say anything about her. I’ve seen men die for less. 

Faeron ~ I’m lucky to have her as my twin. She’s wonderful! She beautiful, and clever, and strong, and brave. I’m so glad she’s here.

Das (AU) ~ Nico’s a bloody goddess, but I ain’t never gonna tell her that! It’s way too much fun to piss her off!
