In Zevran’s voice: Greetings from Antiva! This is Zevran and I shall be your handsome and trustworthy guide during this lovely evening in the woods………..where are we?
…She slips back into her life as it was, her default routine with its simple, steady beat. Wake up. Exist. Pour drinks. Go home. Sleep. Hopefully, somewhere in the middle, get over her stupid crush.
But all there is in the middle is more empty space. Wake up. Exist. Pour drinks. Go home. Sleep. Day after day, she pretends not to notice that his seat is empty. Night after night, she pretends not to care that her phone is dark. The days bleed into one another, nothing but a string of tired existences tied end to end, and she wonders how long it’s been this way. How she’s survived the tedium. Not now, not since, but before he showed up and shook her loose.
Too long, probably.
She needs to move. To change something, do something, become something. But this is what she knows, and this is what she is. And she does it well enough.
So she wakes up. Exists. Pours drinks. Goes home. And sleeps.

This unbelievably beautiful artwork of modern!au Athi is by @louminx, who has my whole entire heart. She’s kind of incredible, and by ‘kind of’ I mean ‘in every way,’ so if you’re not already, you should follow her for more lovely art and check out her Patreon!
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to commission @xfreischutz to make a card for my Inquisitor, Astraia Lavellan. The final result was more than worth the wait! Frei paid so much attention to details and had creative interpretations of my ideas, managing to take my massive amount of information about my character and distill it down into a wonderful image.
They were a pleasure to work with and I am so glad that I commissioned them. ♥
huge fan of how Solas has wardrums and sounds totally like a rebel-tragic-conqueror whose solemnity in his burden is only paralleled by his stubbornness. The sleek elven armour matched with the fur: clean-cut but still of the woods you tremble to remember. inside every man an animal he denies is necessary. send tweet
The Grey Wardens let in all types of criminals, controversial figures, vilified types etc. What's to stop Anders, if he's spared, just...going back to the Grey Wardens? He can meet a bunch of Wardens in game (Stroud, Nathaniel, Hawke sibling, Alistair) and they don't exactly jump to murder him for desertion or anything. So couldn't he just go back, they don't take issue with his actions because Warden neutrality, and he's politically protected?
