#sera/dagna

[broodwolf221]

happy friday! dadw prompt: perspicacious from the rare word list, with sera (any pairings up to you!)

aaaaa thank you jazz! this was So Fun omg perspicacious - having keen judgement or understanding; acutely perceptive @dadrunkwriting 688 words cws: red lyrium; fears of red lyrium contagion; honestly might be an ocd trigger re: germaphobia

“Should you really be messing around with this shite?” She asked, wrinkling her nose at one of the ‘experiments’ on the table.

“Don’t touch that!” Dagna called out to her, Sera turning to face her just to roll her eyes. “Okay, so I guess you weren’t going to. Sorry. Habit.” She shrugged a shoulder and grinned and Sera resisted the urge to walk over and kiss her. She was still busy, after all. “Anyway... maybe I shouldn’t but it helps. And it’s good to know how things work!”

“Yeah, but this? No one needs to know how this works.” Sera jerked her thumb over her shoulder, towards the eerie glow of the covered red lyrium. Dagna sighed.

“The Inquisitor does.” She moved past Sera to examine the shard, frowning. “And so do the people who are trying to remove it. How does it work? Will it get into their equipment? It’s a mineral, right, so-”

“You’re so lucky you’re cute,” Sera groused, Dagna turning to grin brightly at her.

“I am, aren’t I?” Dagna shot back, Sera snorting.

“Lucky, or cute?”

“Take your pick!”

“Uh-huh. Like I said, you’re lucky you’re so cute.” She crouched down so she was looking up at Dagna, who smiled much more sincerely and bent forward to kiss her. “Mm,” Sera began as the other woman pulled back. “And a good kisser.” She made a point of looking across Dagna’s body. “There are some other experiments we could try. I promise they’d be more fun than this.”

Dagna laughed, but it was a little uncomfortable. Not about the sex, Sera knew that much. They’d had it. It was good. It was really good. She just... always wanted to finish her work, and Sera was distracting her, and-

Well. She knew the drill.

She levered herself upright with a sigh, stretching. “Yeah, okay, I’ll see myself out. But it’s just...” She glanced back towards the glow with a frown. “Seriously, don’t touch that. I don’t care about knowledge, I care about you. I don’t want you getting all gunked up with red lyrium.” She grinned, although it felt a little shaky. “You’re cute as you are, but I don’t think awful shards stickin’ out of you would really do it for me.”

“Sera...” She shook her head, trying to cut off Dagna’s lecture before it started.

“It’s fine. I get it. I do. It’s important. But it’s scary, too, yeah? I mean... it gets into everything. Rocks. People! I don’t want it getting into you. Changing you, making you...” She shivered, wrapping her arms around herself. What the Inquisitor and Dorian had told her about that fuck-off awful future, about the lyrium growing out of people. How would it start? Just a single tiny little flake making its way into you, and then what? Would they become strong and weird, all twisted up like the red templars? How much did it take? How long did it take? Would she have to start watching Dagna, make sure there wasn’t some red glow deep in her pretty eyes, that she wasn’t getting short-tempered and distant, that-

Fuck. She couldn’t do this. She couldn’t bear to think of her getting all messed up on a tiny shard of lyrium. A flake. Hell, if that’s all it took, she might have it in herself already. She gripped her arms tighter, nails digging in, remembering the nothing she’d seen in the Fade. Was that why it was her fear? Because nothing was growing in her, because a tiny shard she’d inhaled once was taking her over, or-

Shit. Fucking shit.

She didn’t want to think about this. She didn’t want to reflect on how little it’d take to destroy her, to destroy Dagna, to destroy the whole world. “Just... be careful, yeah?” She muttered as she headed for the door out of the undercroft. She vaguely heard Dagna call out an affirmation as she let the door shut behind her, scrubbing at her face - then wiping her hands frantically against her shirt before scrubbing at her face again, worried she might’ve gotten some of the fucking lyrium on her.

For @howlingwolf23, who requested Sera and Dagna being chaos gremlins!

[serenityfails]

@redredribbon made a joke and I had to drop everything I was doing to draw Sera and Dagna in the t-shirts they stole from a kiosk at Disneyland Orlais while on their honeymoon

[biancadavri]

uhm have the sera haters perhaps considered THIS

[petitpotato]

Girlfriends

[npunarts]

Sara and Dagna

[vigilskeep]

i find it kind of funny that my being gay happens to be largely irrelevant to how i play videogames including romances, except whatever it is that sera does to my brain

[full---ofstarlight]

ok now im curious

for that last one, pls have it be two companion characters who canonically get together! EDIT: for the love of god do not trash talk these ships just bc u like them less lmao...

Dagna: *leaves Orzammar, leaves everything she knows behind, becomes an outcast and travels with the HoF to learn about magic at the Circle even though she knows she'll never be able to wield it herself. Trains for years to become a Master arcanist*

Harding: *touches a magical dagger, gains magical stone abilities*

Danga: *back at Skyhold*

[kiss-my-asymptote]

I’ve seen the teasers of the Inquisitor character creator. In my heart, I know Dagna made the prosthetic and in my soul I know Sera etched ‘Sera wuz here’ into it at some point.

[abyssal-ilk]

Vivienne in a polycule with Sera and Dagna. Is this anything?

this is potentially the funniest ask i've gotten across any tumblr account. i need to know more about this rn. anon return to me and elaborate pls

[requiemforthestars]

I was rotating Sera/Dagna around in my head like a kebab because what do they even talk about? One hates magic and the other is probably the biggest possible nerd about magic ever. How did that start? But then, oh, un-elfy elf x un-dwarfy dwarf, family rejection issues, lesbians whose communities would expect them to have arranged marriages (Dagna mentions this in Orzammar in DAO if you talk to her father, Sera would know the Alienage has this tradition and maybe she saw it around Emmald who was wealthy), some neurodivergence, talented in their own ways but they look "crazy" to everyone else, some trauma at having to stake it out on their own with basically no support. Okay. OKAY. I get it now.

[slothquisitor]

I’m seeing Lace doing cool ass stone magic and I’m sooooo excited but….

Has anyone checked on DAGNA?!

[dalishious]

Happy Autism Acceptance Month! ✌️

[spookydingus]

people talking about wanting Cole to come back from varrics house and sera to finally get a girlfriend and I'm over here like????? The adult man busy adventuring with his bardic wife and the elf who's marrying the gay dwarf lady? beg pardon?

am I the only one who spent like 50 extra hours getting everyone endings or what

[baejax-the-great]

Bellara wishes she had Dagna's rizz
