Varric: So... You and Chuckles, huh? I've got to admit, that's a twist I didn't see coming.

Aqun: I really can't tell what you mean by that.

Varric: Take that as a compliment. I'm happy for you two. Really.

Solas: Are you alright?

Aqun: Yeah. You were quick with that barrier. Thank you.

Solas: (softly) Of course.

Sera (if in party): (blows raspberry) Someone's Veil is getting wobbly.

Blackwall (if in party): Someone's under a spell alright.

Dorian (if in party): Someone's in good spirits.

Varric (if in party): Someone's Fade senses are tingling.

Cassandra (if in party): Someone's dreams are coming true.

Vivienne (if in party): Someone's coattails are on fire. Again.

The Iron Bull (if in party): Someone's barrier is coming down.

Cole (if in party): He's happy you're safe.

Aqun: (mutters) Everyone has an opinion on everything.

A long time ago, a former saarebas tells their child a story. Now, Saar Adaar tries to build a new world as the Inquisitor—even if Corypheus, the Chantry, royal courts, and the Dread Wolf himself are making it really fucking difficult.

You know what would be so sexy of @bioware? If they retconned Solas to be romanceable by any race and gender. Make it canon, you cowards

It’s missing Soraan hours

[maddies-writings]

This song is all the Solasmance vibes. It is called "Guide You Home (I Would Die For You)" by Rebecca Kneubuhl and Gabriel Mann. I do plan on using it in the Solavelyan story I'm working on (link will be provided at the bottom of this post) but I think it works so well for anyone who romances Solas.

It is originally the end credits for the game The Legend of Spyro, Dawn of the Dragon. It holds a special place in my heart because the first Spyro was the first video game I ever played and I remember beating this game with my little sister. However, I do think a lot of the lyrics work for those of us who romance the sad Fade Elf.

To start with

"I would die for you"

If you go for the mages in Redcliffe and bring Solas he does in fact die so that Dorian and the Inquisitor can get back to their time. When Corypheus attacks Haven the Inquisitor is completely willing to sacrifice themselves for the people of Haven (including Solas)

"You set me free"

We know how much freedom means to our man. That should be an obvious line.

"Where our hearts are wide open"

This man has been closed off for quite literally thousands of years, and here this mortal comes along and knocks down all his walls. Solas is more his true self in Inquisition than he has been in a long time, since becoming Fen'Harel. He still didn't tell us all of the truth but he definitely opened his heart to love.

"Where our bond is unbroken"

You can choose to save Solas even after everything he does. You can tell him "I will save you, this doesn't have to destroy us."

It's just an amazing song and makes me so happy and emotional, I listen to it all the time, over 15 years after the game first came out.

Anyway, just wanted to share a piece of my childhood that has connected to another massive passion of mine.

Here's a link to my Solavelyan political marriage, post-trespasser AU.

old dai art from my deactivated blog. i hope veilguard's cc will be able to replicate my adaar because inquisition's cc couldn't get close even with mods.

the way he speaks during this scene <3

[beast-of-mosss]

In the whole Solavellan romance. Solas was selfish in it. He wants to feel love, to feel care for-and at that point, it had been many years since he felt actually seen by someone. This could also work with high approval friendship bc I think the friendship is very important as well-and thr concept of being seen, being respected and that emotional connection-warmth is just very important to Solas. Solas, despite how he may try to portray himself, is a deeply emotional person.

That's why he falls in love with the Inquisitor, not just romantically.

In this essay, I will-

[scribbledquillz]

A banter between Cole and Solas, set in the aftermath of this conversation with Inquisitor Adaar.

Cole: Solas, you aren't still any more. Something has happened.

Solas: You've no need to trouble yourself. It is not a matter of any real importance.

Cole: That's not true... The surface shudders, shifting, silence shattered with a single look. You thought it would be softer, but it wasn't. You want to know why. I could tell you, if you like. That part is easy to hear.

Solas: I would ask for your discretion in this, Cole.

Cole: Still different, still dangerous. He sees a beast who dons their own collar, making decorations of their chains. Hurt flashes, furious and fast before they catch, too late. The wariness he wears is salt in old wounds, worn raw in carelessness.

Cole: You said she was more than you expected. She didn't think she had to prove that again. Not with you.

Solas: Ah. I... I see. Thank you. I've much to think on, it seems.

Cole: She doesn't want to be different. She just wants to be her.

It means I have not forgotten about the kiss.

[herearedragons]

Solas: It is a shame you weren't born a mage. I can only imagine the wonders you would have created with free access to the Fade.

Aqun: I do well enough as it is. Maybe it takes more time to build a device than cast a spell, but that just makes it more satisfying when it finally works.

Solas: I suppose. I would never trade my skillset for yours, but I am glad you find the challenge appealing.

Aqun: You should join me in the Undercroft sometime. Maybe you'll learn to be less condescending about it.

Solas: I must amend what I said some time ago. There is a beauty to your field of study.

Aqun: (chuckles) So spending time in the Undercroft actually helped, huh?

Solas: The waking world is static and unchanging, compared to the Fade. Yet you have learned to break off pieces of it and shape them into an implement of your will, however complicated. That is impressive.

Aqun: You know, I haven't thought about it like this.

Solas: The deftness of your hands is an enjoyable side benefit.
