@tearsofwinter you naughty minx... ;)

SO! Based on raw bootyshakin’ talent and fierce determination - Anders.

That boy will shake what the Maker gave him, especially because he is poor and needs the money for food and the clinic. And I mean, the mage has a great ass!

BUT - I mean... Fenris...

The elf is the perfect embodiment of grace and beauty. He will barely even try and make what Anders made in 3 hours in like 13minutes. And we all know he’s been practicing his choreography for years.

But it’s okay, because when everyone says their goodbyes and heads off to their own homes, Anders meets Fenris in the alley behind the Hanged Man, takes his hand with a smile, and they walk home together bickering about whether or not Anders cheated by letting Justice help out. Cheating is not just, but the clinic needs food.

So basically Anders’ lifestory told by my dash

“Inktober”-in-January #21

@tearsofwinter: How about justice cat?

@knurckles: Justice feeling pretty

I kinda combined both suggestions lol! Had to badly photoshop the eyes tho cuz i couldn’t make it work >>;;

Justice finds it unjust that the bow does not match his colors.

I was tagged by @tearsofwinter to list my 10 WIPs. Sorry for the delay, I was just so close to getting my first real ending in Nier Automata. Most of my stuff is cheesy and also very babble-y.

I don’t really have a lot of WIPs, most of these are just in the plotting stage. So I only have 7. And it’s a given that all of this is Fenders.

1. Inquisitor Fenris, in this verse Anders starts off dead either killed by Hawke or something and Fenris knows it. BUT when Fenris heads into the fade, finds Justice with Anders in tow. Fenris gets a second chance with Anders. Who has trouble re-adjusting to life in the mortal realm, it also doesn’t help that his memories of his life are fuzzy at best.

2. Mermaid Au. mages in the south are rare outside of the Dalish. The Chantry tells a story of the mages that fled their Circles and subjugated a town by the coast. The Maker seeing their cruelty urged his templars to free the town. The templars chased the mages to a sea cave where the Maker intervened before the templars could fall into the trap the mages set and in a flash of divine light the mages were gone. They turned themselves into mermaids but the chantry doesn’t know that.

3. History buff, immortal Fenris takes a job as a history teacher and encounters Anders’ reincarnation in one of his classes. I want this but I have no idea what else to do with it.

4. Humanity Ensues trope, Fenris is an animal that was turned into an elf. Anders ends up fostering an abused pet while Hawke looks to rehabilitate and re-home Fenris with someone more compatible.Stuff Happens that Fenris and Anders start getting along and somewhere down the line Fenris is turned from animal to an elf.

5. de-aged Fenders, both Anders and Fenris ends up de-aged and “adopted” by Hawke and their LI while they go about looking for a cure. But never do. Just an excuse for puppy dog love and maybe Anders dresses up as a bride and play marries Fenris. IDK.

6. Reincarnated, Fenris and Anders were lovers in a previous life.

7. Circle mage Anders, AU where Anders never escapes the Circle and his magic is used to fund the Circle. Fenris despite everything falls for Anders. Seeking to free Anders, Fenris joins the mage underground.

Last Words

Tagged by @tearsofwinter from this post. 

Cite the final line of five of your fics - your favorites, or the most recent ones. Tag five writers who should do this next.

Okay I have like....no completed stories (that i wanna promote). And I got tagged again. Okay I’ll do ao3 for this one and tumblr exclusive for the other one! Except for one, everything is from Dragon Age. This will literally just contain my entire “To Be” series...

1. To Be Your Number One (Rin/Makoto from Free!): However, Rin does take pride in the fact he too can spark a form of evident emotion in Haruka; but neither could compare to his relationship with Makoto. [surprisingly, not related to the “To Be” series. It’s just a coincidence! Or I’m bad at naming things]

2. To Be a Noble (Hawke stumbling upon MerriBela and Fenders): So long as this part of her life didn't change, Hawke will try to hold back on complaints.

3. To Be Single (Hawke gives relationship advice to MerriBela and Fenders):  It wasn’t any real special occasion, but she lived in the moment and she loved every moment that she got to spend with her favorite band of misfits. 

4. To Be in a Relationship (with a Mage) (Fenders): If the Maker really did look out for him, then against all odds, Fenris will hope for a future with Anders.

5. To Be a Family (sibling bonding with Hawke and Carver): A moment’s silence went by before he opened his mouth again. “I love you too, Sister. Please try your hardest then. You’re not the only one who fears the world will take away the one family they have left.”

I literally know no other authors that hasn’t been tagged yet. But if you’re an author that happens to see this, consider yourself tagged!

2402 . 2/2 . T . Anders x Fenris

Additional Tags: False Calling, Euthanasia Reference, Angst with a Happy Ending

Summary: Outside Jader, Fenris notices something off about Anders' behavior. Prompt for False Calling angst from @tearsofwinter , now updated with the additional request for a happy ending. 

Chapter 1

Fenris wasn’t quite sure there was something wrong at first. There were times that Anders would stop during a conversation as if another person had interrupted-and Justice had indeed interrupted-but the mage was still always present.

The first time he stopped mid-sentence while talking with Fenris and looked through him, well, it had been years since Anders’ behavior unsettled him like that.

When Anders finally pulled his attention back to Fenris, the entire conversation was lost.

Read on Ao3.

lol ‘sock’ because those go on feet amirite

Why, Holly. Why. Why did you hurt me by reblogging that math translation post? I just had a traumatic flashback to my college days.

Would it help if I reblogged that Hot University Maths Lecturer instead? 

In fairness, I blame my husband. He has decided that now we’re back in lockdown, he is bored and in his infinite boredom he has decided that hunting for degree-level maths problems on the internet to solve is a good idea 🙄

Ganders and the Arishonk

Thanks to @hollyand-writes and @tearsofwinter bc I had no idea they even existed

[deathonholiday]

So I had a little idea where what if Zag decides to live 1 mortal life on the surface? He’s reborn without his memories and lives his life as a simple, mortal man. That’s the plan at least until he decides he needs to summon the God of Death for a favor. You know, Thanatos, the god he’s been married to for over a century but he just forgot because he ditches him for a life above ground? However, despite forgetting he’s a god and that he’s married to Than, his soul still remembers him. One look at Than and it’s all it takes for him to fall in love again.

So I want to do this fanfic meme but I know no one is going to tag me because I’ve been away for years and because I’m a lurker in general, sitting in the running shower with my clothes on crying about my favorite emotionally constipated frienemies... which honestly seems evident in my choices.  I do love fluff too, but let’s face it, I need a big ol’ dollop of angst with my fluff or it’s just not as sweet.

coffee shop or flower shop • alternate universe or fix-it • enemies to lovers or childhood friends • angst hurt/comfort or fluff • love at first sight or pining • modern au or historical au • soulmate or unrequited • fake dating or secret dating • breakup and makeup or proposals and weddings • getting together or established relationship • oblivious pining or domestic fluff • hurt/comfort or crack • meet the parents or meet-cute • time travel or parallel universe

Resist the urge to surreptitiously add fuck or die or sex pollen, you must resist!  Even if you did you couldn’t choooose!

Tagging... I don’t know who’s still around and hasn’t done this.  @therealmnemo, @hollyand-writes, @tearsofwinter, @thejourneymaninn @protect-him anyone else who wants to?  

[shadowyin-yang]

Just let it go

Me: Idk how to write exes. i think I'd be almost okay if they werent like....500+ years exes. like i've only broken up for almost a decade and i'm over it. 

Me: I got as far as "Fenris is over it+enlightened. Anders is not and wants an apology???" but i'm also like "Anders, it was 500+ years ago. let it go.”

@tearsofwinter: lol tell that to Solas.
