#rana x neve

[therookandthecrow]

I'm thinking of my canon Rook Lethanavir (aka Aloisius) and Lucanis getting married and how so many people want for it to be a high-profile event as Lucanis is the First Talon, and he and my Rook are like, "No, no, no! We want a low-profile wedding with just us and our closest friends."

I can actually see the two of them eloping and choosing to get married in Nevarra instead of Antiva and they both act coy about it until someone outside their closest friend circle sees the wedding bands on each of them and pries into it until my Rook who has a worse poker-face than he thinks he has admitted that they got married.

[There is a lot more under the cut; now I need to design the wedding wings for Lethanavir and Lucanis. Hmm.]

Their remaining companions after [redacted] all are given invitations, along with other friends they'd made along the way, such as Antoine and Evka. Due to the fact that they've kept the Lighthouse, everyone is able to travel to the wedding in a very timely manner. By then, Lucanis was accustomed to the swarm of spirits of curiosity that wanted to attend said wedding as well. He actually found the Necropolis a comfort, especially when getting married to the love of his life.

Not everyone was happy for the married couple, as Davrin's unrequited crush on Lucanis wasn't just something he can get over in a short period of time. Even though he'd found a relationship with Rook's former-wife. Dhaveira, he feels as if he is wasting her time as using her as a placement for the person whom he had wanted more. With that said, he grows to love her and to see her as more than a "replacement" for Lucanis and appreciate what she has to offer.

Neve and Rana will likely have gotten together by that point in time, although Lucanis didn't get over his crush on her overnight, even after he got into a relationship with my Rook. It was actually due to an unintended suggestion from Lethanavir about something completely different that prompted Rana and Neve's relationship. With that said, Lethanavir feels less guilty about "stealing" Neve's boyfriend.

Because I don't like any of the non-romanced companions remaining lonely if Rook romances the person who they would have romanced if otherwise, I like to give everyone a partner, so Bellara gets together with Yenarel, seemingly unable to rekindle a relationship with Irelin. Emmrich and Strife are as happy as ever with one another, raising Manfred together in-between their respective duties.

Taash is still grieving over Harding, and they are not ready for someone new for quite a long time. I like to think that they eventually kindle something with Seer Rowan after some amount of years, after they get time to mourn Harding and not feel as if they are replacing her. Lethanavir's guidance helps Taash a lot with this, that being said, processing both their mother's death and Harding's.

Viago and Teia are at the wedding of course, as are Vorgoth, Myrna and other friends whom both Lucanis and Lethanavir have from their respective factions, even though Lucanis sadly had far fewer friends than Rook did, due to his trust issues. With that said, he gained not just a husband, but a whole family's worth of friends as well from his time in the Veil guard.

Neve folding her "friend" slash "detective partner" Rana like a lawn chair (canon)

[mosswiind]

Neve and Rana absolutely spent their 20s sleeping together in a friends with benefits situation until Rana caught feelings and got a big girl job as a Templar.

I feel like Rana got the job and asked Neve to move in with her, make a go of something real.

Neve bolted but still Cares so they work cases together.

and that has to be enough.

But Rana pines and worries, especially if Neve gets in deep with the Threads.

Rana, who knows the system is broken and won't ever do what she wants it to, but believing she can change it.

Neve, who is unwilling to be a metaphor.

They orbit each other like sad planets and move on. Neve does, at least.

[bloodyrook]

I make a lot of jokes about stealing Lucanis's girl and him being cucked but in all seriousness him and Neve make no sense long term or even anything past casual fun. If you think they do I think you don't understand or care about Neve Gallus. The person she should have got with if not Rook is templar Rana Savas. Like I'm just imagining Neve sitting there listening to that rich boy complaining about redecorating the ballroom of his mansion and thinking what am I doing. Then going back to her "business" partner Rana and feeling much more at home.

[ghostywind]

"Friend". Why does this look so gay when they're both romancing others. Contain yourselves, you absolute gal pals.

[ofwraithsandwords]

Hold the phone.

Why the hell did they pair Neve up with Lucanis if Rana was RIGHT THERE???

🎄 Holiday One Shots 🎄

I’m taking a break from my other WIPs for some short one shots set on or around the winter solstice in Thedas post-VG bc why not. Perhaps a bit unhinged of me to commit to something right before an actual real life holiday but I’m trying to write shorter no pressure things so I’m using this as an exercise in doing that

Anyway, I’ll be posting them every day as a countdown to Christmas and keeping track of them here c:

🎁 Day One: Silver Bells Emmrich invites Strife to Nevarra for the first time after the events in VG. Mostly fluff w/ a sprinkle of angst about their relationship being undefined with special guest star, Manfred. 🎁 Day Two: Baby, It's Cold Outside Neve is reflecting on the months since the Evanuris were defeated and a recent case that went poorly when Rana comes to cheer her up. Fluff and angst and Neve being Bad At Feelings™

LET'S GET REACQUAINTED ! hey rpc ! lets be honest, datv brought us all back in one way or another either you're a veteran or new, i'm sure there is stuff that has changed or we don't know each other so let's have a game about it to reintroduce each other ! repost this to do the same & tag some pals if you want !

Name / Penname: Lexie for veterans, did you go by something previously ? if so what was it if you're comfortable sharing that name &/or penname: Nope, I've always gone by Lexie. age & gender( if comfortable sharing ): 30, female what was your first dragon age muse: I want to say it was my Cassandra, originally @stabbystabseeker , then I had my Hawke and Inquis both for a hot second as well as Meredith in 2015. do you have any other darp muses / blogs: I have Cassandra, my Rook, and soon to be Rana Savas on my multi @afraidofchange what muses / blogs do you have outside of darp: Mostly still just my multi, but I did throw my D&D/Bg3 Paladin Rama on a solo blog for the time being @wolfbluff thedas has two moons: true | false - is that not the canon?

single line, para, or novella: all of the above, but I don't like single line stuff to go on for more than a few replies/single evening. I need at least some exposition and description lol. plotting or winging it: Typically memes or plotting more generally. It doesn't have to be super specific but I like having mutually shared ideas. fighting threads, you bold enough for them?: I write a villain with a boss fight; of course I'm down to write them. Meredith is also a powerful templar, and isn't afraid to fuck someone up. (this would require plotting, obviously no god modding, but yknow). what content warnings are on your blog?: Drug usage with lyrium (or cocaine in modern verse), violence, PTSD, violence, gore/blood, uh, genocide of the Circle mages, etc. I don't sanitize Meredith, but I approach these topics with respect. what things do you need tagged for your comfort?: suicide & self-harm.

shipping preferences: single | multi | no ship | polyship (sorry Meredith is polyphobic xoxo)- typically, I'm open to separate ships, but because of who Meredith is, some plotting is necessary - I do not change her character to suit a ship (but I have a greater ability to ship her in post-DA2 verses or modern verse, where she isn't as limited). shipping boundaries: Meredith is a lesbian. I ship her with other female muses. She's also between 35-45 years of age during the Kirkwall timeline, and while I'm open to certain age gaps, I prefer to at least ship her with someone 25+ and has their frontal lobe fully developed. I'm pretty selective with my ships, but if there's a vibe, I'd be interested in exploring it (casual, short or long term). favorite ships in dragon age: There are so so many canon x canons, but if we're gonna count romance options in the games: Morrigan/Warden, Isabela/f!Hawke, Cassandra/Inquis, Neve/Rook. favorite ships from the rpc( tag your friends ships ! ): There are a few whose URLs are escaping me but trust me when I say that I see you, especially those of us that have been writing the same ships w the same people for years. So shout out to @sanctamater for writing Kirkwall's Worst Sapphics together <3

fun facts about yourself that may have changed since in the past ten years( when inquisition dropped )--

I moved halfway across the country and I'm 2.5 years into writing my doctorate. (Also it's been almost 10 years since I started writing Mere). My best friend is due with twins any day now (we only know Baby A is female, we still don't know what Baby B's sex is because they've kept their legs closed this entire time), but I'll be an auntie before 2024 is out.

be honest, did you miss darp. come on now--

I missed a lot of the people I wrote with back in the day and thankfully many of them have come back. I don't miss the crazy insane drama / insane behaviour that happened in this RPC, and quite frankly, I do wish more people would branch out and write more actually sapphic women, dwarves, and villains / morally grey protagonists (beyond blood mage Hawkes for example).

challenge round ! put a small top five things unrelated to dragon age !

Let's do Music things since spotify wrapped just dropped:

Chappell Roan's rise to stardom in 2024 (but I was a fan about a year before because @magicbound recommended me Red Wine Supernova on Discord).

Brat Summer.

Katie Gavin's solo album What a Relief emotionally destroyed me because it released a week after my break up, but I still bought it on vinyl.

Cat Burns did not only a cover of I like the way you kiss me but she also did teenage dirtbag and they're both amazing!

Megan Thee Stallion is the greatest rapper of our generation. I said what I said.

Reveal time for @dasmutquisition​!

Now that the collection has deanoned, I can show what I wrote this last month. These are all rated E, so proceed with knowledge.

watch me watch you, Neve Gallus x Rana Savas

My assignment and I’m proud to say that I had to bring the tag for this pairing into existence! Set in Minrathous, Knight-Templar Rana and private investigator Neve end up locked in a closet, and what are you supposed to do then?

A Witch's Tear, Fenris x Anders

Fenris finds Anders at last and while Anders thinks that Fenris wants to kill him, Fenris finally wants to admit to his feelings for Anders.

Temptation and Will, Anders x Fenris x Hawke

A bit of a dark fic with Fenris given to Hawke and Anders as a slave, fuck or die scenario and all that, but of course, Anders and Hawke are good to Fenris.

Give in to the Sea, Cullen x Sebastian

Historical fiction AU. The lord and his bodyguard and careful feelings. And bossy Sebastian.

[linka-from-captain-planet]

[linka-from-captain-planet]

small but favorite Rana moment - love the feeling of community in Docktown + the implication Rana has handyman skills (hot) + her never missing an opportunity to take a(n affectionate) potshot at Neve's terrible life skills
