A mini-playlist for a ship

Thom Rainier and Valona Lavellan

1. Next to Me- Imagine Dragons

There's something about the way that you always see the pretty view Overlook the blooded mess, always lookin' effortless And still you, still you want me I got no innocence, faith ain't no privilege I am a deck of cards, vice or a game of hearts And still you, still you want me

2. Little Do You Know- Alex and Sierra

Little do you know I know you're hurt while I'm sound asleep Little do you know All my mistakes are slowly drownin' me Little do you know I'm tryin' to make it better piece by piece Little do you know I I love you 'til the sun dies

3. Only Love Can Hurt Like This- Paloma Faith

Say I wouldn't care if you walked away But every time you're there, I'm beggin' you to stay And when you come close (when you come close), I just tremble And every time, every time you go It's like a knife that cuts right to my soul

4. I Found- Amber Run

I'll use you as a warning sign That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind And I'll use you as a focal point So I don't lose sight of what I want And I've moved further than I thought I could But I missed you more than I thought I would And I'll use you as a warning sign That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind

5. Work Song- Hozier

My baby never fret none About what my hands and my body done If the Lord don't forgive me I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me When I was kissing on my baby And she put her love down soft and sweet In the low lamp light I was free Heaven and hell were words to me

6. Middle of the Night- Elley Duhé

These burning flames, these crashing waves Wash over me like a hurricane I'll captivate, you're hypnotized Feel powerful, but it's me again

7. The Reason- Hoobestank

I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with everyday And all the pain I put you through I wish that I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears

8. Say Something- A Great Big World

And I am feeling so small It was over my head I know nothing at all And I will stumble and fall I'm still learning to love Just starting to crawl

9. Line Without A Hook- Ricky Montgomery

Darling, when I'm fast asleep I've seen this person watching me Saying, "Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Tell me, is it worth it?" Oh Guess there is something, and there is nothing There is nothing in between And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer Watching over me, he's singing "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a boy"

[athirstygoblin]

Was anyone going to tell me the fantasy oc x canon ships I have include badass tattooed elves and their doting human beloveds behind them like "Get em, babe!"

20, 26, 39, 41 for lavellier ❤️

20. How do they comfort each other when one of them is upset? Is this method of comfort effective?

Valona tends to show comfort through physical touch when it comes to the people she cares about. If Thom is having a rough day, whether he's plagued by thoughts of his past or a battle that left him a bit shaken, Valona finds she tends to braid his hair, or his beard, a soothing action for both of them. She will also provide reassuring words, just in case he needed to hear them.

On the opposite end, Thom isn't the best when it comes to comforting other people, but he's patient. He would sit next to Valona and just wrap his arm around her. She can talk about what happened, whether it is the stresses of being the Inquisitor or a visiting noble who was less than kind to her, but she doesn't have to. As long as she knows he is there for her whenever she needs him.

26. What sacrifices do they make for the other?

Valona finds she is less consumed with studying in order to spend more time with Thom. This actually has proven to be a bit of a positive, considering sometimes Valona gets so engrossed she may get distracted from doing things such as making sure she eats or gets enough sleep. Plus it worries him whenever he finds her in the morning with bags underneath her eyes because she was engrossed in her books again.

As for Thom, any sacrifice he had to make for Valona feels so small it's practically nothing. Much to Valona's horror, this includes his life and well being.

39. When and how did they admit that they loved each other? If they haven’t yet, why?

It was actually after his judgement that the two both admit that they love each other. After pardoning him, Valona told Thom to meet her in her quarters later that night. There was a lot of vulnerability in that moment, especially on Valona's side as she was uncertain what his identity means for them. You can sort of imagine it being that one scene from the Charlotte Netflix series where George confesses he loves Charlotte.

41. What would they do if they lost the other?

Depending on the circumstances, Valona may become very vengeful, stopping at nothing to end whoever it may have been that killed him. Otherwise, she finds herself engrossing in her work even more, isolating from everyone else. She

Thom becomes more withdrawn to the point that he rarely speaks to anyone, even if someone tries seeking him out. He'd briefly resort to alcohol, but find that it doesn't really help with the grief. Eventually, he'd just disappear, like his old life, never to be seen again.

Neither of them would love another if one ever lost the other. Not even temporary intimacy with other people.

Thank you so much for the ask <3
