Let's sleep now. We all have been through a lot.

Hey, sorry if this has been beat to death and noooo way am i saying that the femme-butch scale is lesbian only, but... do you think as a trans guy i could use it? ive always loved the term butch as the bear-hunk-twink scale REALLY doesnt work for me in particular (im in that unhelpful middle "blob"). Just looking for an honest opinion and if youd rather not respond I totally get it. Have a good day regardless, We love your work! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

Yes. The entire LGBTQ/queer community has been using these terms for decades. There’s no reason why you can’t. 

To repeat, and not at you but in general: this whole ‘lesbian only’ thing is very deliberate TERF propaganda in an attempt to split our community further and radicalize young lesbians, and anyone buying into it is buying into TERF propaganda. If you, person buying into it, don’t like that, stop buying into TERF propaganda which twists our history as a community.

Care To Wager?

A Dragon Age commission fic for @radflannel​ and @reaperskillerthighs​, featuring Dorian and Varric.

***

"What do you think of this? ‘With a flare never before seen in the royal court of Ferelden, the mage crossed the floor to the throne. Sparkling lights danced at his fingertips; women swooned as he passed; and every man there wished he had even a fraction of the mustachioed masculinity he exuded with every step.’"

"It's dreadful. The Orlesians will love it."

Varric chuckled, setting his quill down as he twisted to look over at his companion. Dorian lounged in their bed, ankles crossed, one hand behind his head, his own book held aloft in the other as he read. Clothing was apparently optional for today. The Tevinter mage glanced down from his reading, raising a brow in sardonic amusement.

"My dearest dwarf, I do realize I am quite the arresting sight, but I was under the impression that you needed to write today," he said, his smile almost winsome. "I am even proofreading this appalling dross that keeps you supplied in paper."

"Don't let Cassandra hear you say that," Varric warned laughingly. "Every word of that dross keeps her sweet."

"You should never have let her introduce the sisters in the Chantry to this syrupy nonsense they call romance," was Dorian's stated opinion. "Though I must confess, it is rather delightful to know that the holiest of holies down here in the south is all but addicted to a serial bodice ripper written by a dwarf she cannot stand."

"I'll have you know Cassandra and I have settled our differences for the most part," Varric retorted, his low voice gruff with amusement. "She doesn't order any Exalted Marches on Kirkwall, and I don't write anything subversive about the Chantry. It works for both of us."

"And yet you persist in trying to capture my glorious personage on parchment as a means to tell the world that your contraption lost out to a terrifying magister." Dorian's chuckle was warm with pleasure. "If I didn't know better, I'd imagine you were even proud of taming a Tevinter trickster."

"Sparkler, you and I both know there's nothing tricksy about you," the dwarf countered, rising from his desk to make his way back to the bed. "You're all front."

"I would venture to suggest you rather like my front," Dorian said, lowering his book with a grin as Varric climbed onto the bed with him. "You certainly have a way with it."

"I don't really have a choice these days, do I?" Varric chuckled, stretching out on the rumpled bedclothes with a comfortable groan. "Not since you showed me what my chain was really for."

Dorian laughed, laying the book aside to roll over and drape an affectionate arm about his diminutive lover's waist. The only thing that could possibly make this time even more wonderful would be the presence of the third member of their loving trio. Sadly, Odinel's mission to seek out Solas had not allowed him to take even a day to join his lovers on this rare reunion.

"I refuse to believe that you did not know that," he said cheerfully. "Honestly, amatus, wearing it so openly and still refusing to acknowledge what it said so succinctly about you? I was shocked."

"I doubt that," Varric countered, propping his head on his hand as his thick fingers stroked up and down Dorian's arm. He liked these quiet moments, though they were too few and too far between these days. "How long before you go back this time?"

Dorian sighed, his smile fading as he contemplated the many burdens waiting for him back in Minrathous. The Lucerni were slowly becoming a coherent political faction, with Maevaris' help, but with that coherence came a greater danger of assassination. The more others listened, the more the corrupt would seek to silence them. The Magisterium was not a place for the faint of heart, nor for the slow of mind. Indeed, he likely would not be able to leave again for quite some time.

"A few more days," he said finally. "Maevaris can hold down the fort a little longer without me, especially since Cullen's volunteer templars took up their positions in the various households we are holding together."

"You know the Merchants' Guild have been pushing for a representative in Tevinter for a while now," Varric began, but Dorian shook his head swiftly.

"It is too dangerous," he said bluntly. "Between the inevitable scandal of our association and the stranglehold Kal-Sharok insists on maintaining for our supply of lyrium, you would be utterly surrounded by enemies on all sides. I will not have it."

"You think I like knowing you're in that same position, miles away from me and Bianca?" Varric asked rather pointedly.

"The difference, my dearest dwarf, is that I am a mage, and a person of influence within the Magisterium," Dorian reminded him. "In Minrathous, you would be seen as a means to weaken me, at best. I have no great desire to place you in such a position. At least here you have your guards and the love of your people to protect you."

"I don't like it," Varric muttered, unhappy to be shut down so sufficiently and with such clarity of mind.

A warm hand curled to his cheek, drawing him into a tender kiss.

"Stay here, amatus," Dorian whispered to him. "Stay safe. I can face anything knowing that you are here, waiting for me to brighten your days with my sunny personality."

Varric snorted with laughter, letting himself be kissed once again.

"You know, Sparkler ... you have a real way with words," he mused. "Care to wager on whose personality is sunniest?"

"You know me." Dorian grinned, nuzzling close as Varric's arms enfolded him. "I rather think I will win that bet."

Good Morning, Afternoon, or Night, whenever you do read this. I was wondering, could I get some positivity for an Anders who now has trust issues because I was left in the Fade with Justice by the people whom I thought were my friends. I struggle with trusting even my own happiness these days and could use a kind word, if you wouldnt mind. Thank you, R.

hey there, anders. first off, as varric, your friends have some things to answer for. secondly, damn dude. that's rough. i'm sorry. stuff like that can fuck with your perceptions of people. i promise though, your happiness is real and there are and will be genuine people who care about you in your life. you deserve better than that.

Commission List

A work in progress, but this is the list of fics to write -

For @lostinaseaoffictionalbliss​ -

For @radflannel​ -

For @thebakerstboyskeeper​ -

[dragonage-kinnies]

can we get an aesthetic for a varric who dated both male inquisitor lavellan (though, really, it was sabrae, not lavellan...) and warrior garrett hawke? and had feelings for dorian and isabela? something with themes of just being a bi mess and taverns and wicked grace and maybe a few sappy-sarcastic quips about love if you can. thank you.

tumblr is being weird so, i'm gonna post it separate from the ask, but yeah i got you. i focused more on the "disaster bi" aspect than the individual people listed because that's..... a lot of people to put in one aesthetic. i can change that if it doesn't end up being what you wanted.
