#this night so dark

I Love You - Lilac POV Lilac/Tarver

It’s been less than six hours since Tarver and I were reunited after being rescued, and all we’ve done is sleep. Well, not only sleep, we’ve done a whole host of bed-related activities. Finally being able to touch him after being apart for so long felt euphoric. 

Afterwards, he collapsed on my chest, and has been fast asleep ever since, which I suspect is something he is long overdue for. His breath softly tickles my collarbone as he rests, and I can’t help but adore his every feature. He looks so tranquil, like the past five weeks never happened. He seems calmer, even though I can still see the graces of the stress he’s been under. It’s only when my eyes wander to his bare back and ribs that I realize he probably hasn’t eaten in days. A pang of anger and betrayal thwacks my heart when I think about how he’s been treated at my own father’s word. 

Silently slipping out from under him, I pull on his t-shirt and then my robe over it, I doubt Daddy would be happy seeing me in Tarver’s clothes. I’m not even sure where I’m going, but there’s got to be someplace in this huge ship that has food. I leave his boots by the door to assure him I’ll return if he wakes up before I’m back, and step out into the cold, dim hallway. I end up making it about two steps before a deep voice from behind me asks, 

“Miss LaRoux?” 

I swivel around on my heels to find one of the people who had been assigned to babysit me. His dark, sharp features contrasting the look of worry on his face as he glances me up and down. 

“Are you okay? Shall I fetch your father? Do you need something?”

I’m used to having to eat ration bars and sleep with only a fire and Tarver to keep me warm, so for a second all I can do is stare at him. 

“Uh, um, yeah. I’d like some food please.” I mumble back.

“Of course. What would you like?”

I’m lost again, because I realize that I’m not sure whether Tarver has allergies, or what he even likes to eat. I’m racking my brain to find anything he’s said in the past about what he eats, and I finally remember something he mentioned to me one night in the cave about the supposedly fantastic mashed potatoes his mom makes.

“Mashed potatoes, and—uh—a couple water bottles, please?” I spit out. I’m not sure why this interaction is so awkward, but it is nonetheless. He squints at me before slowly nodding his head and saying, 

“Of course miss. I’ll have those for you right away.” 

He turns and heads down the hallway opposite to me. I’m not sure what to do now, so I wander the corridors until I have the layout of the entire ship memorized. I’ve just about come back around to the room Tarver and I share when I see another babysitter whirl around the corner with a massive tray in one hand and two water bottles in the other, dripping with condensation onto the smooth, metallic floor. She spots me and looks surprised for a bit, as if she’s so shocked to see the LaRoux heiress out wandering without an escort. 

“Miss LaRoux, um, I have the food you ordered,” she stutters quietly, handing me the tray and bottles. She quickly hustles away as I walk back into our quarters, the door whooshing lightly when I step through. This time, I find Tarver standing in the middle of the room, hands on his hips and his back to me, as if he’s watching something.

“Are you okay?” I say, flashing him a smile as I set his food on the credenza by the entrance and he turns around to find me. He’s still only wearing his boxers, so his skin is warm against mine when he lifts me into an oxygen-stealing hug. I giggle onto his shoulder while he presses soft kisses into my neck and I wrap my legs around his exposed torso. His cozy smell surrounds me as he flops backwards onto our bed, tightening the arms encasing to keep me from falling. To say that I melt into him is an understatement. He isimpossibly comfortable, which for a second causes me to forget the potatoes by the door, and subsequently focus all my attention onto the beautiful man that is literally cradling me like a baby. 

“Hello, there,” he whispers, smiling into my hair. 

“Hi,” I breathe back, “Are you aware of the fact that you look exceptionally adorable right now?” I say before I can stop myself. For a second I think that I’ve surprised him, but just as quickly, a wide grin spreads on his lips. 

“Is that because I’m not wearing any pants?” He says, wiggling his eyebrows like the menace he is. I press my hand to my chest and fake a gasp as I climb off of him.

“Don’t flatter yourself, Major,” I quip back at him. “When I first walked in,” I start, “what were you looking at?”

“For,” he corrects, staring me down, “I seem to have misplaced my shirt, have any idea where it might be?” He says, eyeing where the collar of his shirt is visible above the hem of my robe.

“Nope! I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I say playfully, carrying the now-cooling potatoes to our nightstand. He lunges as soon as I’m close enough and swiftly unravels the sash keeping my robe shut, pulling it off my body. He drags be back down on top of him, turning to the precariously placed tray piled with potatoes.

“What’s this?”

“I didn’t know what to get you to eat so I got mashed potatoes. Sorry, that's the only thing you’ve ever said.”

His smile somehow gets bigger, and I’m helpless.

“Hey,” he whispers. I raise my eyebrows as a response, “I love you.”

I beam back at him, how could I not? I press my forehead to his as I whisper back, “I love you too.”

Logan and Wade almost always do the nasty with the lights out and Wade is a little disappointed but he gets it and he resigned himself to a lifetime of dark sex long before Logan came along, sucks to know that your partner doesn’t want to look at you while getting down to business but its something Wade can live with.

Meanwhile, after a long day of stupid big bright lights Logan loves to have the lights out when making love with Wade because there isn’t any extra light bugging him and his natural night vision means he can see Wade perfectly, just the way he likes it

The Dread Wolf Take You (Part 1)

~~Link to the complete 31 page comic here~~

"Imagine that, overlooking the god in your mids!"

May I present, my attempt at illustrating the last four pages of Tevinter Nights. 😁 (Also, the first time I'm posting art on here!)

As the whole thing was quite literally too long to post on tumblr, I uploaded the full version on a customized site made for reading webcomics (via ComicFury). Feel free to check out the link above if you like to read the rest! Also, if you're on mobile, there's a "Scroll View" option for easier navigation. :)

And, obviously, HUGE spoilers for those who haven't read Tevinter Nights!!

On a personal note though, I can't believe I actually finished it... As it had been a *very* long time since I drew (and finished) anything, let alone a 31 page comic and reading Tevinter Nights again finally sparked my motivation (and the courage to post it lol). So I want to thank Patrick Weekes for helping me overcome this massive art block and over two decades of Case Closed mangas for inspiring me how to draw an overly dramatic "exposing the imposter" moment. 😂 I tried my best to be as faithful to the book as possible and it took me forever, so... hope you like it! :D

shassie as a dynamic works so well imo because shawn is dialectically a genius and an idiot while lassie is dialectically badass and pathetic. thus, in the most ideal scenario, they're a scarily effective power duo of whip-smart deduction and ruthless tactical intimidation, but when you flip them to the other sides of their spectrums they become Two Losers Making Asses Of Themselves, both of whom constantly try to hoist themselves back to the other end by using the other as a counterweight.

*Tarver, Flynn, and Sofia leave to get food*

Jubilee, to Gideon: I bet you 20 bucks the first thing Lilac say when she gets up is ‘where’s Tarver’

Gideon: Make it 40 and you have a deal

Lilac, still in her pajamas: Where’s Tarver

Gideon, crying softly: What about Simon!

Sorry if this isn’t a coherent thought, I thought it was silly and Gideon needs to take a chill pill about his dead brother. Tarver’s fine.
