I can’t stop thinking about Mistress Warden-Commnader Surana/Amell to King Alistair—it’s living rent-free in my brain! In my first playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins, I went with Warrior Cousland because, honestly, Noble Lady with an axe? Yes, please. But there’s just something about Mage Elf/Human Surana/Amell as Mistress to the King that scratches a very specific itch.

I mean, in that playthrough, I had Alistair marry Anora for the sake of stability and preventing civil unrest. But the idea of Surana/Amell staying on as his mistress and being the real power behind the throne? Absolutely perfect. Like, she’s just there, controlling everything, and everyone knows it. And the best part? She’s perfectly happy with that arrangement.

Picture this: Surana/Amell lounging in Alistair’s chambers, casually munching on chocolate-covered strawberries, when she makes some off-handed remark about a political matter—and of course, Alistair immediately goes through with it. No questions asked. She’s the one standing beside him at formal events, commanding respect and intrigue, with her full title trailing behind her like a reminder: Warden-Commander Surana/Amell, Hero of Ferelden, Mistress to the King.

And here’s the thing—Surana/Amell owns it. She’s content with her life because she gets to do her own thing: running the Grey Wardens, dabbling in magic, and occasionally poking at political affairs, all without anyone telling her what to do. It’s the ultimate freedom, and Alistair being head over heels for her is just the icing on the cake. When she’s away, he’s this sad puppy missing her terribly, but the moment she returns? Full golden retriever energy, tail-wagging (metaphorically, of course), and a grand ball thrown in her honor.

But here’s where it gets fun: Even Anora eventually warms up to Surana/Amell. They have this mutual respect, maybe even a friendship, built on tea-drinking sessions and political discussions. And when Anora needs Alistair to do something he’s dragging his feet about? She knows exactly where to go: Surana/Amell. Because, let’s face it, if anyone can convince Alistair to get his act together, it’s her.

That said, Anora can absolutely be a total bitch to Surana/Amell sometimes, and that adds some delicious drama to the dynamic. Surana/Amell, of course, doesn’t even flinch. She’s just sitting there like, “I’m a badass Warden, a mage who survived the Circle, and the king will never love you as much as he adores me. Try me.” And honestly, Anora’s frustration over this makes for some amazing tension. But deep down? Anora knows exactly how important Surana is to keeping Ferelden (and Alistair) running smoothly, so it’s this fascinating love-hate dynamic.

And then there’s Alistair. Once he figures out his lineage and starts to feel secure in his role, you know he’d push for a child with Surana/Amell to take the throne someday. The nobles would be losing their minds, but Alistair? He’d be 100% on board. It doesn’t help that, much to everyone’s dismay, he doesn't bother to visit the queen’s chambers. His heart—and let’s be honest, his brain—are entirely with Surana/Amell.

And then the drama really kicks off when Alistair decides to make it official. Imagine the court’s reaction when he publicly declares Surana’s/Amell's title: Official Mistress to the King. He does it at a grand event, all smiles and with a glowing introduction that only makes his adoration more obvious. The hall is dead silent for a beat before whispers ripple through the nobles like wildfire. Scandalized gasps, angry mutterings, and the occasional choking on wine—everyone has something to say about it.

For her part, Surana/Amell is unfazed. She just stands there, calm as ever, with a slight smirk as if daring anyone to challenge her. Alistair? Completely oblivious to the outrage on purpose. He’s too busy grinning at her like a lovesick puppy. Meanwhile, Anora looks like she’s trying to decide whether to laugh or scream, all while calculating how to manage the fallout.

The fallout is immediate, of course. Nobles protest, claiming it’s an affront to Ferelden’s traditions. Anora is bombarded with demands to “rein in her husband,” which she pointedly ignores because she knows better. The court is a hotbed of gossip and outrage, but none of it matters—because Alistair made it official, and Surana isn’t going anywhere.

Honestly, I love the whole dynamic. The Mage Elf/Human who broke free of the Circle, became the Hero of Ferelden, and now wields her influence not from a throne, but from the shadows, with wit, charm, and undeniable power. It’s deliciously unconventional and exactly the kind of chaotic energy Ferelden deserves. And half the court hates her for it.

Random written scene

The grand hall of the Arl’s estate was alive with the hum of conversation and the glitter of finely wrought jewels and polished armor. Nobles dipped their heads in deference as King Alistair Theirin entered, his golden hair catching the light like a crown all its own. The room seemed to hold its breath as he walked, his presence commanding every gaze, yet his eyes sought only one person.

Warden-Commander Surana/Amell stood near the far end of the room, a glass of wine in her hand and a bemused smile playing on her lips. Draped in a sleek, deep blue gown that complimented her features, she was impossible to miss. Beside her, a cluster of courtiers whispered in hushed tones, eyes darting between her and the approaching king.

As Alistair reached the center of the hall, the crowd dropped to one knee, bowing in respect. A wave of silks, velvets, and armor sank around him like a sea parting before its king. Surana/Amell arched an eyebrow, her smile deepening as she casually tilted her wine glass. She waited a beat longer than necessary before setting it down on a nearby table, preparing to follow suit.

But as she began to lower herself, Alistair was there, closing the distance in a few quick strides.

“No, you don’t,” he said firmly, his voice carrying just enough to stop her—and a few others—mid-motion.

Surana/Amell froze, her eyes narrowing in playful defiance. “Oh? Since when do I not bow to the King of Ferelden?” Her tone was light, teasing, but the room had gone unnervingly silent, every pair of eyes now fixed on them.

Alistair gave her one of his trademark grins, saved only for her, the boyish one that softened the edges of his crown. The one she loved the most. “Since the king decided that his lover doesn’t bow to him. Ever.” His voice was warm, but there was no mistaking the command in it.

The tension in the room thickened as nobles exchanged scandalized looks, some outright gaping at the open acknowledgment.

Surana/Amell tilted her head, considering him for a moment as if juggling her options. Then, with a small chuckle, she straightened back to her full height—or as full as her diminutive elven frame allowed. She crossed her arms and gave him a mock-glare. “You know, Alistair, you make it very hard to be properly deferential in public.”

“Good,” he replied, stepping closer until only a breath of space remained between them. His grin softened into something more tender as he added, “Because I’d rather everyone here remember you’re just as equal as me, not someone who bends the knee.”

A ripple of murmurs spread through the crowd, but neither of them paid it any mind. Surana let out a soft sigh, shaking her head, but the smile that curved her lips was unmistakable. “You really do enjoy stirring the pot, don’t you?”

“Only if it means reminding everyone how lucky I am,” he murmured, so quietly only she could hear.

With that, he extended his hand to her, palm up, an unspoken invitation. Surana/Amell hesitated for half a heartbeat before placing her hand in his. Together, they turned to face the room, and Alistair’s voice rang out loud and clear: “Rise, all of you. This is a celebration, not a coronation.”

The nobles stood, though many looked unsure, their gazes flickering between the king and the Warden-Commander at his side. This was the most public the king had ever gotten with his mistress. But Alistair paid them no mind, guiding Surana/Amell toward the head table with an easy confidence that dared anyone to challenge him.

And as they ascended the dais, it was clear to everyone: Warden-Commander Surana/Amell might not have a crown, but in the eyes of their king, she was already his queen.

C’est Incroyable, Non? Rating: G Word Count: 211 (does this count as a drabble??) Summary: Gambit stumbles upon a Hot Topic and its wonders Note: Really random short-ass thing I wrote down a while back, I haven’t been to a Hot Topic (yet?) but I feel like Gambit would be in love with the store on sight so here’s something about that 

Also this is sort of based off my headcanon that Gambit is a bit grungy in aesthetic so

(idk who to credit the art to i just found it off Pinterest from my Gambit pinboard😭😭)

Gambit hums a tune to himself—it’s Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys to be specific—as he walks through the mall, a hand in his jean pocket while the other holds a bag from Barnes and Noble. He’s been mall-strolling for a little while now, and hasn’t found anything good as of yet, other than Barnes and Noble’s selection of dirty romance novels and the McDonalds he’d scarfed down earlier. 

He stops when he sees a store. It looks right up his alley—a goth, emo and/or grunge store?—and he is in need of new gloves, so he steps inside.

It’s heaven.

Pure, unsanctioned heaven.

Gambit looks around, probably smiling like an idiot at all the stuff he can buy. Fifteen minutes and an exorbitant amount of money spent later, he has fishnets, fishnet gloves among other types of gloves, earrings, some pins, belt clips, jeans, black shin-high buckled combat boots, some new eyeliner in black, brown and fuschia, as well as some cropped shirts.

He tosses the bags over one shoulder with relative ease, smiling to himself. After some more walking, he sees a place that sells playing cards, and inevitably gives in.

One more thing on my mental shopping list to cross off…

…And more money to blow.

after the kids graduate, they leave hawkins, trying to leave everything they've been through, in their past. they all made a promise to reunite on every holiday, no matter where they may be, they always come back to hawkins to spend the holidays together.

steve, eddie, robin, and nancy are the only ones who stay in hawkins. steve works at the middle school, eddie's still in corroded coffin, and is doing really good for himself. he even bought wayne a multi-story house, and a brand new car. robin works with steve, and is an art teacher. nancy writes for the hawkins post, and worked her way to the top. new york times even wrote a piece on her, about her bestselling book: searching.

steve and eddie bought a house, and it has 2 spare rooms, just in case one of the kids want to stay at their home when they come to visit.

fast-forward to christmas eve. nancy and robin come over to steve and eddie's house. no one else had shown up yet. nancy cooked dinner, and robin and eddie helped steve decorate. it was a tradition. the kids would get there, eat dinner, and tell crazy stories from their jobs, then everyone would exchange gifts. steve, robin, eddie, and nancy waited patiently for hours in the living room.

waiting for a phone call, or a knock. anything. after a while, nancy started to call the kids, and steve walked outside. eddie followed. steve sat down on the porch, and lit a cigarette. "i thought you didn't smoke." eddie said, and sat down next to him.

"yeah, i did too. guess i don't know a lot of things. they have lives," steve's head dropped "i can't hold them back. can't protect them. it was stupid. did i really think that they would come back here every few months for the rest of their lives? i mean, the only thing this place has done for them is traumatize them. and, i still ask them to come back."

eddie laid his head on steve's shoulder, staring down the empty driveway. "maybe their cars broke down?" Steve shakes his head. "all of their cars?" eddie's mind raced, trying to find some excuse, some reason to explain why they couldn't come. he looked back up, to see a gray car, racing towards their house.

the car stopped in the driveway. dustin, mike, lucas, max, el, and will pile out of the car, rushing toward steve and eddie. "our car broke down. im pretty sure lucas broke it even more. i told you to stop touching things." max explained. "we got a flat tire. mike didn't know how to change it." will adds. "i forgot to stop and get gas." el said. "and, somehow they all were stranded around the same place. i gave them a ride." dustin announces, proudly.

"what'd i tell you?" steve's smile grows. "shut it, munson."

Sometime during training camp:

Tanaka, Nishinoya and Asahi sit together on their futons. Tanaka pretends to hold a phone while listening to Nishinoya who pretends to pick up a call from a customer.

Nishinoya: Welcome to Jesus hotline, how may I be of help?

Tanaka*giggles*: Uh, hi. How do I speak to a godess?

Nishinoya: I don't know, dude, ask jesus. He sits right next to you.

Asahi*startled*: What, me?!

Tsukishima, from the other side of the room: He does kind of look like jesus.
