Sebastian Vael x Ixchel Lavellan, B&B, pushing a strand of hair behind their ear ALSO DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IS NO YOU DON'T
A @dadrunkwriting sick fic for sebxchel!
Pairing: Sebastian Vael x F!Lavellan (#one wild and precious life AU, post bloodied and broken)
early pre relationship :3 Sebastian has children (not with Ixchel)
-:-:-
"Now, didn't I tell you you'd catch a cold if you stayed out too long?" Ixchel chides, stooping to poke illustratively at the child's soggy coat. She receives, unhelpfully, a giggle. "Could you take this off for me and I'll fetch you something warm?" she asks with a smile.
The red-nosed kid dutifully shucks their soaked-through outer layers and drapes them over Ixchel's lone extended arm, then stands with chattering teeth as Ixchel turns.
"Go sit by the fire, da'len," she calls over her shoulder. "I'll be right back."
It is a hassle to try and hang the clothes, heavy with rain, in her closet, but she will never yield to *fabric* and valiantly struggles to get them separated and neat. Once she's done so, she activates the enchantment that Sandal had kindly left in this little coatroom--and a whoosh of hot air picks up from the floor to begin drying the clothes.
She smiles a little wider as her hair dances around her face. After a moment or two, the closet is quite toasty--and from a lower shelf, she pulls out a warmed blanket.
She and Sebastian's child sit by the fire wrapped up and cozy for quite some time, reading stories and getting distracted by their imagined embellishments. For a while, Ixchel thinks she's cut off the danger of illness, but when it comes time to tuck them in to bed, her kiss to the forehead is met with scalding temperatures and clammy skin.
She goes to bed herself worried, and she can hardly sleep, in case there is a change in the night. While it passes silently--or as close as Kirkwall ever gets--the morning comes and delivers upon her fears: the fever persists.
Fortunately, Varric has a decent healer on retainer and Ixchel finds herself well-stocked with concoctions and treats and instructions for care, and she is more than content to entertain the poor thing through the lowest and loopiest moments.
She is not, however, prepared to fall ill herself.
Ixchel wakes the morning Sebastian is due to return and knows she's a lost cause.
It takes all her effort to drag herself out of bed; her muscles ache like she has sparred with Bull, and her eyes and nose run down her face uncontrollably. It's all she can do to see a few feet in front of her, squinting against the burning in her eyes and wrinkling her nose every few seconds. And even so, she makes sure that there is breakfast ready for three, and fresh, warm clothes laid out.
The not-Inquisition-body guard that Varric has left at her door brings Sebastian up exactly on time for breakfast. Ixchel has just gotten the youngster settled when he walks in.
Ixchel's ears pop when she straightens up to greet him, and she has to pause and catch herself against the back of a chair to ward off a bit of a dizzy spell. But she takes the time gladly. There is no rush, no urgency.
Somehow, it feels like time has slowed to a crawl. She cannot imagine anything else that could occupy her mind, except the tall visitor who stands up on the threshold. He bears himself in a manner that is entirely at ease, and yet he is never without his courtly poise: shoulders back, chin raised, spine straight. She doesn't know how he does it. It makes her knees hurt just looking at him. But somehow looking at him makes her think he must be the steadiest fixture in the whole apartment.
She could weather a storm in his arms.
Ixchel jolts herself out of her reverie and tries to focus on the warm reunion occurring between parent and child in front of her. The sweetness of it, the genuine excitement in both their parts, is contagious and validating. She feels she has done right as a nurse and guardian over the last few days to ensure this moment is the happiest it can be. The warmth of it makes her insides melt, her whole body sag as she is overcome with affection and gratitude.
"Go eat your breakfast, my dear," Sebastian scolds affectionately. With the youngster successfully shooed back to the table, the Prince of Starkhaven turns to greet Ixchel properly.
His eyebrows shoot up as she refuses him her hand.
"I've fallen a bit ill," she confesses in a bit of a raspy voice. "Someone caught cold out playing in the rain and then passed it to me." She grins. "It's fine. Much fun was had."
"I do not doubt it," Sebastian says with a pointed look at his mischief-maker, who ignores him and continues to eat their fill. Sebastian turns back to Ixchel and draws closer anyway, unafraid of the sickness she can feel heavy in every one of her breaths.
There is a tenderness in his eyes that lights them like the blue sky at midday, and she cannot look away from them; breath comes just a little bit easier when he turns that gaze upon her like this.
Sebastian reaches out and tucks a stray lock of hair behind her ear.
"But you're well?" he asks.
She swallows, and it is made painful by more than just the itch in her throat.
"Yes, thank you," she whispers.
Only then does he drop his hand.
She tells herself that if he felt the heat of her cheek when he brushed it with the backs of his fingers, it must only have been the fever.

hi hi hi crashing in like the koolaid man begging for ❛ there’s nothing crueler than letting a dream end midway. ❜ for seb x ixchel??
oh man oh man
for @dadrunkwriting
combining this with @inquisimer
Pairing: Ixchel Lavellan/Sebastian (#one wild and precious life post!canon au)
-:-:-
It is a rare occasion that she dreams of the Golden Elsewhere. She never seeks it out, no matter how she might long for it; she is too much an expert Dreamer now, and her subconscious does not summon the forest of yellow leaves and pale white bark against her bidding.
She does not want to be in that place without him. Without Solas.
But sometimes she finds herself there anyway. The winding paths of the Fade that she walks sometimes lead there, guided by a presence she feels like a warm wind at sundown. There is barely intelligence there, barely awareness, but it is tangible enough that she knows it wants her and wants her to *follow.* And inevitably it leads her to this sanctuary Solas had shown her so, so long ago.
The leaves are like onion skin beneath her feet, thin and slippery in layers upon layers shed by boughs above. Sometimes she can glimpse a wolf statue, a guardian, through the trunks. She has never found the edge of this forest, no matter how far she walks, and there are no indications of where in the Waking World this might correspond to.
Ixchel walks deep into the forest until she feels the silence thick against her skin, and she lowers herself to the ground. In a bed of delicate leaves, veined with gold and edged with the faintest hint of earth, she curls up as if to sleep, and she longs. In the Waking World she sleeps beside another, a man she does indeed love. But there has never been a night she has not felt Solas' absence, and these nights are the worst of all. She can almost feel him with her in that Golden Elsewhere, but his will is intangible, if it is truly present.
She turns her face into the leaves and she speaks of her life to him, just in case.
When she does wake, she finds it difficult to go about her life again unperturbed by the dream and the longing that pervades it. She tries, though. If she is more melancholy, if she is quieter, than usual, so what? Many others have moods that fluctuate more often and more dramatically than hers, and she wants to believe that no one notices--least of all, her husband.
One morning she rises from such a dream and finds that Sebastian has woken before her. He is dressing quietly, but he turns when he hears her stir, and the concern in his eyes takes her aback.
"Good morning, love," he says.
"Is it?" she asks, trying to inject a light hearted note into her voice. "It seems really early, Sebastian. What calls you out of bed?"
But when he meets her eye, her smile fades. "What's on your mind?" she asks.
Sebastian returns to her side and sits on the edge of the bed. His head is tilted up, eyes trained on the window high in the ceiling that indeed still frames a night sky.
"You have...dreams, sometimes," he says hesitantly. "I can tell. Sometimes they wake me. It's not a bother!" he hastens to clarify, half raising a hand in her direction to quell whatever apology might have sprung to her lips. "I just want to give you your privacy."
"They're just dreams," Ixchel begins, but Sebastian gives a small chuckle.
"I... I don't think so," he says. "They affect you. And that's alright, don't get me wrong, love."
He takes her remaining hand in his and brushes his thumb across her knuckles. "I hope I didn't wake you. There's nothing crueler than letting a dream end midway."
Ixchel is silent. She has been struck speechless by the care and kindness of the man beside her, and her love for him--true and genuine--melts when it meets the ache of loss within her. Still unable to find words, she sits up and scoots closer to Sebastian, until she can rest her head upon his shoulder.
"If you ever want to talk about it," he says quietly. "I think you're the only one who'd understand how I feel sometimes, missing her, and..."
She sighs a little. "And you're certainly the one who'd understand how I feel,* she agrees.
He squeezes her hand, and she squeezes back.
"I love you very much," she says softly, closing her eyes and releasing a sigh.
The side of his head touches hers as he leans into her. "And I, you."

I decided to do the “my ship in 5 minutes” thing with my top 4 Dragon Age ships! I used my sims because I am not good at drawing lmao. For Merribela and Sebethany I also included their ages in my modern AU since I changed them. Also... just assume the last question is “who WOULD die for the other” because none of them actually die for each other...
Elodie and Alistair’s ages are as of post-DAO because in my canon, she is not a Grey Warden and they have an arranged marriage after he becomes king. The DA2 characters’ “canon” ages are as of the end of the game, except Bethany’s which is the age she is through most of the fic I’m writing because she turns 27 during it. This is also why I put the age difference between her and Sebastian as 8 years because it’s closer to 8 years than 7.
Here’s the blank if anyone wants it!

Dragon Age Original Characters
Dragon Age Origins
Rovena Cousland - No Profile Link Available This Grey Warden’s kindness makes you wanna throw up. She’s unintentionally charming, witty and very flirty. Rovena Cousland gets straight to the point and doesn’t sugarcoat. Simultaneously, she lets people walk all over her and babies everyone. She is classified as a dual wielder rogue. Paired with: Alistair.
Dragon Age 2
Ailith Hawke - Incomplete Profile Available Ailith Hawke prefers to smash someone’s head to the curb opposed to diplomacy and talk. The young mage uses other people’s fear of death to get information and openly opposes all who speak out against her. Despite her aggressive nature, she protects Fenris with her life. She fears loosing Fenris as she has lost her father, sister, brother and mother. Ailith is classified as a mage. Paired with: Fenris.
Asiya Herrera - Incomplete Profile Available The young Antivan grew up in Kirkwall’s Lowtown hiding in the shadows after a scandal destroyed her family’s noble line. In current day, she seeks out jobs at night of murder and thieving to buy food for her sister, and keep them out of poverty. Likewise, Asiya is a dedicated Andrastian, and outside her nightly jobs, spends most of her time in the Chantry with her sister. In addition, she keeps her face partially covered to avoid detection from any possible individuals who wander to Kirkwall from Antiva. Asiya is a archer rogue (Follower OC). Paired with: Sebastian Vael.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Arwen Lavellan - Incomplete Profile Available The elf grew up among the Dales in the Free Marches. Arwen Lavellan is very awkward and anxious individual. Often, the awkwardness enhances her coldness though often it’s a misconception. She values intellect and books, and burps out loud/farts in public shamelessly. Arwen is a sword and shield warrior. Paired with: Solas.
Imogen Trevelyan - Incomplete Profile Available Until recently Imogen Trevelyan was in the Ostwick circle and had no contact with her noble family due to her being a mage. After the circles fell, Imogen Trevelyan ended up in the Inquisition at Haven, pledging herself to serve for a greater purpose. Imogen’s time at the circle has blinded her with hatred. She judges and spouts propoganda centring around her hatred for Templars. Often, Imogen will treat Templars and ex-templars with hostility without cause. Of course, this is usually in glares and few words...right away. Imogen Trevelyan is a mage. Paired with: Cullen.
These are all the characters I’ve created for the Dragon Age franchise thus far. I’d like a chance to get away from my usual in the next game, but we’ll see. If you want to read more about the characters, please visit their profile linked in their name if it’s available. I also have a Dragon Age Masterlist with a list of all current stories in the Dragon Age franchise. Feel free to head to my ask box to ask a question about any of the OC’s in this post.

Writing Prompts, Pairings, and AUs
I’m excited to announce I am part of the Dragon Age Drunk Writing Circle! Send me a writing prompt (@dadrunkwriting or general) and I’ll do my best to fill it. Check out the list below for character pairings, prompts, and AUs on offer. <3
Update 12 February 2022: I have included a list of completed prompts, and prompts that have been sent to me already, so you can know which ones have or will be filled
Note: Please refrain from sending ‘for anyone’ prompts, if you can. The more specific, the better I can fill the prompt!
Another note: no smut prompts at the moment, but that might change later on. I’ll make an announcement, when that happens. <3
Behold, OCs on offer (I don’t mind writing generic Hawkes or Inquisitors or Wardens, either. But I do like writing my OCs because they’re my babies <3). Click on their names to learn more about them on my Tumblr blog.
Valena Cousland, my warrior Warden who wants to be queen
Solona Hawke, my mage Hawke who just wants a book. and her dog.
Revka Cadash, my non-protagonist, middle-aged dwarven OC who’s the Carta’s leader in Kirkwall. And a ball of chaos. With arrows.
Aranehn Lavellan, my super-reluctant Inquisitor that gets lost in the Hinterlands often and prefers her herb garden over Orlesians. (I don’t blame her <3)
Rana El-Khoury, my modern girl in Thedas. She’s a Lebanese opera singer who hit her head and woke up in Kirkwall. While she can’t fight, she can sing, and quickly establishes herself as a bard in Kirkwall. Likes bringing modern inventions to Kirkwall. Actively searches for a way back home. Love chocolate.
Keep reading under the cut for Pairings, Prompts, AUs and Completed Prompts!

Historical AUs like 18th century, Regency, Ancient Greece or Rome
Pretty much anything with Tevinter, Seheron, or Antiva also makes me happy, so if you ever think of a prompt with that setting, that’s cool.
