Neria tripped through the mirror, soaked to the bone and dripping all over the tile. Ixchel looked up from the bar, already smiling. The bar was much more fun with company.
“Storm Coast?”
“Crestwood,” Wringing out her hair, Neria shook the cold and wet from her skin “Maker, why don’t the mirrors ever show up when I’m in Skyhold?”
“Give it time,” Ixchel chuckled. She grabbed a towel from the stack they kept on a warming rune behind the bar and tossed it in Neria’s direction. The elf patted herself dry, then finished the job with a simple drying spell that rippled the air around her as it flared over her skin and clothes.
“Tell me we have something hot to drink.”
Ixchel nodded, reaching for two mugs as Neria settled on one of the bar stools. There was a small cauldron simmering over a low-burning fire and she ladled the rich hot chocolate out in healthy amounts for each of them.
Neria wrapped her hands around the mug and drank deeply, shivering still as the warmth sank into her bones. She hummed and a slow, pleased smile stretched across her face. “Ahhh, that’s exactly what I needed.”
“Josephine can order it from traders out of Par Vollen, if you have coin.”
“Oh, we’ll find coin for that.”
Ixchel swung herself back up onto the bar top. Her bare heels kicked idly at the wood, bumping the oil lamp so the pooling light flickered and danced around them.
“So how is Crestwood?” she asked. Neria’s nose scrunched up and she sighed into her cocoa.
“Terrible, like everywhere is these days. And…odd, in many ways. Things that didn’t add up, coincidences that were a little too convenient.” She frowned. “Of course, we were traveling with Hawke, so my focus wasn’t particularly sharp. I probably just missed the connections that would make things add up.”
Interesting. Ixchel hummed her sympathy into her drink. She could offer little more than vague support—foreknowledge was a dangerous thing, when you held the future of many worlds over in your hand. Still, her steady presence was a comfort to Neria. She cupped her mug close to her side and leaned her head against Ixchel’s thigh.
“Seeking out the Wardens, then?”
“There’s really no other way at this point. I had hoped…well, that hardly matters now.” Neria sighed. I can only assume they have a good reason for whatever’s going on—Warden business rarely makes sense from the outside looking in. We just need to find the one person who can explain the apparent insanity to us.”
After so many years, Ixchel’s straight face was well-practiced. She wore it now, carefully drumming blunt nails down the edge of her mug. Nothing she could say would make much difference. Neria was simply venting in a way she only could to another Inquisitor—to someone who had been there, to someone who understood.
Ixchel set her drink aside and slid over the back of the bar. Another basket sat beside the towels, filled with soft blankets, each wrapped around a warming stone. She unfurled one and returned to her friend, draping it over her head and tucking it snuggly about her shoulders and neck. A shiver caught Neria by surprise—a rippling chill she hadn’t felt settle over her, chased away now. She offered up a grateful smile.
Ixchel stretched up to brush her lips across where Sylaise’ brands decorated Neria’s forehead.
“You’ll figure it out,” she said. “Freezing won’t help anyone in the meantime. Another drink?”
Neria nodded, her smile turning sheepish. Their fingers brushed as she handed the empty mug over, and again as Ixchel ladled it full and passed it back.
“Ma serranas.”
Ixchel gave her a knowing look, full of gentle understanding. “Rest, lethallin. The troubles of your world will be waiting when you get back.”

I don’t know why because there is absolutely no lore in any of the games to support this (in fact quite the opposite), but somewhere along the line I decided that mages in Dragon Age all have different coloured flames, they can’t choose or control or change it, it just is. And I’d already subconsciously assigned most of the characters their colour.
Amaranthe Amell - lapis blue with a heart of iridescent pearl (because she’s God’s favourite princess)
Neria Surana – bright sunny butter yellow
Morrigan – deep gold with a dark amethyst halo
Jowan – pale silver-green marshlight
Anders – umber with a heart of crimson
Wynne – powder-blue, translucent like glass
Connor – jade green
Lanaya – pale daffodil yellow with a grass-green halo
Velanna – sullen orange like glowing embers
Finn – pretty normal looking, but gets a glint of emerald at the centre if he’s super excited about something
Hawke – blood red. Just blood red
Bethany – soft violet
Merrill – scarlet fading into coral
Dorian – rich magenta with royal purple flashes
Vivienne – pastel lavender
Solas – smoke grey with a blinding white halo, hurts the eyes
I have no idea why I did this but it’s my inescapable headcanon now. Feel free to comment if you have a different vision, or a character I didn’t mention, or your own Warden/Hawke/Inquisitor/OC!

RULES: Post 5 songs associated with your OC, followed by 3 outfits they would wear
I was tagged by @omgkalyppso <3 <3 <3
Doing this for my beloved Majexatli
Songs:
Wolf // Saint Mesa
That Unwanted Animal // The Amazing Devil
Carrion Comfort // aeseaes
Unknown/Nth // Hozier
Full Moon // The Black Ghosts
Outfits:
I'm not sure if this counts, but I have a couple pinterest boards for insp for outfits for various OCs. For Majexatli, in their downtime I imagine they tend to wear a classic huipil and woven skirt. Like in the commissioned piece I got of them, I imagine they tend to lean towards blue and greens for the embroidery. And in place of a rebozo, I imagine they have some fur pelt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(also while not pictured, for some downtime when they're on their own and the weather is warm they might just wear a maxtlatl [loincloth], but around people they're a little to self-conscious, especially with their scars)
For tagging people (no obligation and apologies if you've been tagged already, i got that Brain Fog): @thedragonagelesbian @antivan-surana @razrogue @eazzy--pink @isayashai @babeoffrontiers @hungerofhadarr @ghostwise and whomever else would like to do this for an OC :)

OC Name Meaning
got tagged by @sillyliterature to do this! thank you <3
Rules: google and post the meaning of your OC'S name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! bonus if you can find something for their last name too.
this is gonna be long i have a LOT of children 🧍
Sarani Shepard: meaning protector, guardian or path (gotta be honest, i knew about the first two and it's why i chose the name, but the third is a surprise to me when i googled again for this). I already kinda HCed Sarani (who had a different placeholder name at the time) as being part Indian so I was intentionally finding an Indian name that would fit. her LIs call her Rani sometimes which means 'queen' and 'joyous song' and that second one feels especially fitting as she doesnt let anyone else use her first name, and she is very happy to have people she loves and trusts 🥺
Tumblr media
Mars Shepard: my new child i just made last night whose face isnt done yet xD got the idea of using space names from @xoshepard (thank youuu <3) and I went with Mars because roman god of WAR and also gender fuckery 😌 she's gonna be romancing Kaidan!
Nayima Surana: means gentle, delicate, tenderness. this is kind of hilarious because while that's how she starts off being her experiences have hardened her a lot 😔 i dont have a pic for her im gonna remake her when (if) i ever get back to playing dragon age. also goes by Naya (renewal, fresh). we can say that shot of darkspawn blood renewwed her and freshened her up!
Riyaad Hawke: my canon hawke is garrett riyaad is a random dude the hawkes adopted dfjkghk. name means 'beautiful garden'. if you cant tell, i almost stole his name for myself xD
Bintang: 'bintang' is the Malay word for star
Tumblr media
Arianwen Trevelyan: means silver, blessed. she's an andrastian and blessed made sense because of that, and her hair is like blue-silver so yeah (silver when she was born, darkening to blue, was the canon i made for her i believe)
Tumblr media
Bronwen Trevelyan: similar meaning, fair/white and blessed. she's aria's twin so it made sense.
Veara Lavellan: my lavellan used to be Valora and pretty much just chaged her name for veara. the most i found on the internet is that it means 'special' lmao
Tumblr media
anyways i do have more OCs around here somewhere but i'll stop there kjdfhgkd

WIP Word Search Game
Thank you for the tag, @arendaes! <3 I was given the words MOMENT, STAR, and BLUE.
STAR: From the post-Dragon Age 2 fic for Neri Surana--the ambitious third fic in their series--this scene occurs after they track down Anders. (Context: The first fic occurs during Awakening when Neri can't name how they feel. The second fic is during Dragon Age 2 when they're full of regrets for not being able to say it.)
“When I fall for someone, it doesn’t end well. Karl, Hawke… I don’t want to do that to us. To you.” I stare at the stars through the window for a few heartbeats. “We both know bad things happen in this world. We’ve each borne an unfair share. I can’t blame you for holding back.” “You left a ‘but’ unspoken, didn’t you.” I have to chuckle. How well Anders still knows me, despite the passage of time. “I learned the hard way that I’d rather live with the consequences of saying how I feel than leave those feelings unsaid.”
BLUE: From the upcoming chapter in Shion's Attack on Titan fic, Cut to the Feeling.
Aching, stiff muscles nudge Shion to reluctant consciousness. She opens her eyes to a clear blue sky; no traces of the dawn’s light remain. Damn, she slept long and hard. Though the late hour likely explains the absence of nearby bedrolls, she doubts Levi would’ve chosen to sleep next to her. Not after last night’s conversation.
MOMENT: From a later chapter in Shion's fic. (Things get better, lol.)
Whatever these affections mean for him, she wants— no, she needs this moment to last as long as possible. Because whatever caused him to impose distance between them is gone. She loses herself in his closeness, his scent and touch and taste.
No-pressure tagging @mxkelsifer @milesmentis @marythegizka @druckkugelschreiber @perhapsrampancy @outpost51 @dr-paine @howetrash @anderstrevelyan @effelants (ignore if you've already played and I missed it!); your words are NIGHT, COMFORT, and TREE. For anyone I missed who's been tagged by someone else but hasn't yet posted, please tag me so I can see your words! <3

WIP Wednesday
I've been jumping around between so many different projects lately that it almost feels like I'm never going to get anything finished. The most recent thing has been a return to this Handers modern AU fic I started a while ago. I wasn't sure if I was ever going to share it when I started it but I've been feeling less shy about it recently.
I couldn't find a part in the most recent scenes I've been working on that would stand alone without context but here's something from an earlier chapter with some Anders and Jowan friendship. Because I just think they should be friends :)
"Do you remember back in school this one time we were all round at Surana's place? We did that weird... ritual, I guess you could call it." Jowan was clearly thrown by the question, not that Anders was surprised. It had been years since he'd thought about that day. The more surprising thing was probably that he'd even remembered it after so long. "The soulmate thing?" Jowan asked doubtfully as he took a seat at the other end of the sofa from Anders. "Yeah," said Anders, almost regretting even bringing it up because it really was so stupid that he was even thinking about it. "We called upon the spirits or whatever to tell us—" "What our soulmate's first words to us would be. I remember. Wow, I haven't thought about that in a while." "Do you think it was real?" He felt embarrassed just asking but he was fairly sure Jowan wouldn't mock him for it the way Surana would.  "Wait," Jowan's eyes widened. "Was it her? The woman you stayed with?" "What, Marian? No. No it was... someone else. Someone I doubt I'll ever see again." "Oh." Jowan seemed disappointed by that. It was sort of sweet, how genuinely invested he seemed in Anders' happiness.  "And it's not as though I believe in all that," he said, as though it hadn't been his idea to even try the stupid ritual back then. "It's got to be a coincidence. It just got me thinking."  He remembered it clearly, even after more than fifteen years. Anders had been so sure he knew what the words would be, that he'd already met the person he was meant to be with. Then the board had spelled out something different, the same words that tall beared man had spoken to him: 'who the fuck are you?' and his friends had dissolved into peals of laughter as Anders' heart deflated because Karl was sweet and shy, and the first time they'd spoken had been when Anders had dropped one of his exercise books on the way to his maths lesson earlier that day. Karl had called him back, not wanting him to get in trouble with Ms Rylock, who had a real knack for making her students cry over that sort of thing. He had the prettiest blue eyes Anders had ever seen, and he'd been convinced it was love at first sight.  It had to be a coincidence, or a joke Surana had played on him, because it was a common enough phrase, and because it was exactly the sort of thing Surana would do.
tagging: @goth-surana, @thedastrash, @salsedine, @ringneckedpheasant, @pyritefes2, @un-shit-yourself, @pappykins, @rusted-pipe-of-wisdom, @lordnochybaty, @spicywarl0ck, @illusivesoul, @sweetmage
I'd love to see what you've all been working on! Though of course there's no pressure if you don't feel like it. If you'd like to be added to the taglist then let me know. Or feel free to post your own WIP and tag me in it!

out curiosity are their any pc backgrounds/hawke personalities/love interest match ups that just don't work for you? i tried to romance leliana as surana and it just...didn't click because my elf had been hurt by andrastianism far too much and that's a huge part of leliana's character. i tried purple hawke/merrill and there's a cultural divide linguistically which results in her not getting a lot of his jokes while hawke's purple responses seem more condescending to her than blue and red are
i think there’s something cool you can do with every single dao origin and romance pairing and i did a whole ask game on that basis! but there are a few i wouldn’t personally play, like i think everything that can possibly be said abt ali/cousland has been said and i’ve never come up with a tabris to suit ali, tabris or surana with leliana doesn’t do much for me, i’ve never really felt like doing an aeducan or mahariel with zev, i’ve never had a mahariel concept i feel like would work with morrigan, etc. etc. and those are all GOOD pairings and i see good content of them and i can totally see their potential, and some other people’s ocs who are in those pairings are beloved favourites of mine, it’s just not smth i’m personally drawn to doing myself
in da2... again i don’t think there are any “bad” ones it’s all a matter of taste. because the options are so limited its easier for me to come up with the one specific hawke variant i like for each romance than cross off everything i don’t. personally i prefer mage hawke for isabela and merrill and non-mage hawke for anders and fenris... as for the hawke personalities i think it depends how u play it. generally i prefer purple dialogue in the isabela and fenris romances because they respond well to that lightness and blue/red dialogue in the anders and merrill romances because they’re so rarely taken so seriously. but that doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t be purple in general, and i really do think there’s something fun in all hawke variants with each romance. i keep trying to think of one i absolutely wouldn’t do and then i’m like... wait... there’s something in this...
i do think there’s something kind of charming abt purple hawke/merrill specifically because purple hawke can’t rely on their usual joking front to win her over like everyone else. also in a relationship, purple hawke painstakingly explaining every joke to her to everyone else’s irritation and her a) laughing when she finally gets it or b) going “OH! but isn’t it supposed to be funny?”

Thank you so much @greypetrel for the tag!
I'm one day late ofc, trying to finish as much wips as possible, but the heat and work are killing me so be kind ;-;
You can notice how fixed I currently am with my Surana, but she's my comfort character so here we go!
1) I can't have enough of these two. I've shipped my Surana with Cullen in her Kinloch Hold days, with Alibear in her teen days, but I've replayed recently awakening and Nat is so perfect for her haaa ;3;
2) Always her, but in Vigil's keep. Couldn't stand anymore her old tarot card, so I'm repainting this old piece from 2020.
3) For the series "Things I want badly to happen in DA:DW" a meeting between the Commander, Nathaniel and Anders 🥹 and Cole, which in my hc is wandering around Thedas with Justice!
4) This is a orrible, awful muddy mess, and maybe will be deleted at all, but they're young and they're in the marshes.
I'm tagging out of the blue (hope I don't bother!) @raflesia65 @sapphirebunnyart @leanmeangenie @tobio-fish @moosu because i LOVE your art! Ofc feel free to ignore this!

On my first ever playthrough, where I played my main Hawke (f!warrior), I had barely finished Origins and still knew and understood relatively little of the world of Dragon Age, I hadn't played Awakening, and I romanced Anders despite him looking so fucking Scrungly simply because he's written to be like ... genuinely a pretty nice person? (Also I love the voice acting as well, probs one of my favorites in all the games so far, rly sells the character.)
Like he's a doctor working out of a sewer to help poor people who are forgotten by the system, he's possessed by a cool powerful ghost, he's passionate and snarky, and because I'm fucked up in the head the drowning us in blood line got me going full kombucha girl.
So when he blew up the Chantry and it was supposed to be this big epic "betrayal" I was like "...huh. Ok cool. Wait you think that's stabbing-worthy? You think I would kill you for this? lolwut"
Like at this point I didn't even know Fenris was a party memeber cuz I had skipped the quest where you meet him, assuming it was a minor fetch quest or something. Like at this point I still thought Cullen creeping on Amell/Surana in Origins was tee-hee cute. And yet, I wasn't very bothered by the Chantrypalooza even though, probably as intended, it should've beeen shocking and scary and it did come out of nowhere (to me, back then, when I wasn't aware of where things were going).
I dunno what it says about me, but romancing Anders and doing all his side quests and keeping him in the party was just a positive experience for me? Like yes he's a fucking weirdo when it comes to Merrill and Fenris and I'm not saying he's perfect or anything, I think he's very flawed and codependent and very mentally ill and my man clearly needs the help he's freely giving others ... but generally, when my Hawke would help people, that little blue +5 would pop up to the side and I would go "aw, he likes it when I help people!" And why wouldn't he? He's a healer and he's possessed by the spirit of Justice. Having him in the party just made things in Kirkwall feel less shit because here's a guy who's genuinely eager to help.
So like ... yeah he blew up the Chantry but like ... he probably had a reason? That was basically my head-empty vibe-only thought process when I first played the game.
He's so disliked and hated in many parts of fandom because he's a fucked-up little creacher (and because the mainstream male gamers are like "uwu the grey morality in BioWare games is legit and deep actually" and "oh no this weird rat-looking man flirted with my manly Hawke, I'd better stab his terrorist ass the moment I can"), but to me that's what makes him so special.
Like I genuinely think that if he'd been sold as more of a sexy brooding anti-hero (or they retconned him into a hero, as it were) people would stan and defend him the way they do Cullen and Solas. (And yeah some people do of course, but he's not nearly as beloved as those two are.) But because he's a weirdo and looks like that and he's a little pathetic and sad and a wet rat and clearly mentally unwell, people were eager to have a "real" reason to hate him and kill him, even though there are beloved characters who are arguably (and definitely) much worse people.
He's a lil guy who got tired of being abused and ignored, he's the rat that bit back and gave everyone the plague and I respect that <3
