"Serena Brosca returns home."

.

The familiar squeaking filled the air, mixing with the noise of metal clanking on metal as the armoured warriour approached the entrance to the villa, creating a disorganized symphony that mixed with the distant noise of waves crashing against the shore. The sound of sniffing and paws scratching wood intensified as soon as she put the large key in the lock and pulled the door on the side of the large wall that surrounded the villa open.

Before she could step inside, a small creature rushed to her excitedly.

"Hey you!" Brosca said as she took the nug that had started scratching her greaves and lifted it in her arms.

"You're Schmooples the Second, I think, unless all your siblings have this same mark here as you do” the woman said as she pointed to the reddish mark along the nugs back “Red doesn't stop gushing about you in her letters. You were this small when I last saw you, like a flea on a bronto" she said as she made her thumb and index fingers almost touch" I knew your dad, you know?"

Brosca gave it a half smile, as memories filled her mind.

"Oh, it's one of those subterranean bunny-pigs! Oh, look at him! Come here you" Leliana said as she kneeled beside the nug, softly scratching his ears as the creature leaned into the touch “Thank you so much, Serena. You made my day”

“You’ll thank me more if you have him for dinner. They taste good with potatoes”“I told you I am not going to eat it!” Leliana wrapped her arms around the nug protectively, an annoyed expression set on her face.

“Well, if you ever changed your mind, you can put some salt and butter on it and…”“Let 's go, Schmooples. You don’t have to listen to this”

The dwarf chuckled as she saw the woman walking back towards her tent with the nug.

“What kind of name is Schmooples anyway?”

The nug chirped in response, almost as if she could see what was going through the dwarf’s minds.

"It would be funny if you understood me" the warden smiled as her gauntleted hand scratched the top of the creature's head.

"What are you, like 8 years old now? You've gotten no bigger though. Don't know if you even get bigger"

"Old nugs are not a common sight in Orzammar, after all. Isn't that right, lady Paragon?"

The anxiety that had been building up in her chest since she started her journey back turned into a firestorm as the sound of that voice, her voice reached her ears. And suddenly her heart was threatening to burst out of her chest.

“Leliana”

“Serena”

Lips curving into a trembling smile, the former warden let the nug down on the floor, tears already threatening to spill forth as her eyes met hers. Leliana had more lines dotting her face, the unavoidable marks of time making themselves seen, gray already settling in and stealing some of the red from her hair. A basket filled with finely cut vegetables and fruit filled her basket hung from her arm, the latest meal for all the ever hungry subterranean bunny pigs, as she had called them all those years ago.

“The small ones are from a litter born 2 months ago, and I know they seem like a lot, but they’re not that… that much trouble to handle…”

Brosca hadn’t expected to be the first to cry, always having prided herself in “bottling up everything”, as Rica liked to say. And yet, by the time she realized what she was doing, Schmooples the Second was hastily devouring the contents in the basket, Leliana having lost all care for it and dropping it as a pair of strong arms wrapped around her, the dwarven woman's mouth pressed to hers in a tight kiss, lips on each other amidst a wave of laughs and breaths that spoke of a longing that words couldn't describe.

They parted for air, forehead to forehead, and the laughter came, the joy of finally being together. For good this time.

Serena's fingers traced the crow's feet spreading from the corners of Leliana's eyes.

“Don’t say it”

"You got old"

"Oh, shut up" Leliana answered, followed by a phrase in orlesian that the dwarf couldn’t understand but still made her laugh.

“Where have you been?”

“It’s a long story. We have a lot of catching up to do”

[grimweaver]

There is a letter on Leliana's desk at Skyhold about "Schmooples II", obviously the offspring of the pet nug you give her in Origins. Her wanting to know how her animals are doing is proof that she hasn't gone all the way back to being cold and angsty.

[eluvianarts]

No fooling around! This here is a real in bread nug! 

Get your own HERE!

The timing on this... frequency illusion is in effect from new Dragon Age game ads. Anyway, LylaHammar's monster horse's ?paws? reminded me of my favorite mount from Dragon Age: Inquisition. I named mine Nuggernaut.

the ol art block fall back, speculative monster horse biology 😌

Leliana really is the best option for Divine because 1) she undisputably does the most progressive shit while being completely ready and able to protect herself and her people when people inevitable come after her for that, 2) she makes it extremely clear that she will not leave the Warden once she becomes Divine and will basically publicly make the Warden her trophy wife (ideal for my warden) so there's no bittersweet angst if you romanced her in Origins you actually get information of what your Warden is doing (being Leliana's trophy wife) in Trespasser, and 3) she is just the funniest option like my girl breeds nugs and puts them in her official portraits you know she has official chantry robes and regalia for all of them

gross (affectionate) 🥺
