Cyberpunk 9:30 Dragon — by enbyseven a.k.a. @thaig​ ↳ a dragon age: origins novelization // cyberpunk au

The year is 9:30 Dragon. Aeducan Inc. is doing better than ever, and its heir presumptive, Ana, is about to make a move that will ensure her inheritance. Maura, the second child of the CEO of Cousland International, is being promoted. And, in Kinloch Hold, Jordan Amell is quickly rising in the ranks as a newly minted enchanter.

Then all of them are betrayed.

Their lives are saved when they're recruited into the Grey Wardens, only for most of the Ferelden order to be wiped out in one blow, along with President Cailan Theirin. Saved only by the efforts of a mysterious mage, the surviving wardens are Ferelden's only hope.

In a world of magic and machinery, of technology and spirits, of demons and AI, can they stop the Blight before it devours all of Thedas? And if they do, what will be the cost?

↳ Chapter One: In the Hall of the Mountain King

Ana Aeducan looked into the mirror, straightening her white blouse and skintight black trousers. The plunge down the front of her shirt was a little bit risqué for a formal business meeting, but there would be no fun if she couldn't scandalize a couple of the old men and women who made up the board.

The necklace that disappeared into her cleavage was made of pure platinum, a gift from her father that she made sure to wear to every board meeting of Thaig Inc. It was her responsibility as Chief Operating Officer, after all. 

The position had come along with the necklace for her eighteenth birthday. And her brothers had received similar gifts, though they had gotten watches to go with their positions. Trian was Chief Fiancial Officer, and Bhelen was Chief Marketing Officer. 

Her father was a generous man, at least when it came to his family.

headcanons about favorite way to sleep and how they like their morning beverage, for each of the nerds

MAURA

sleeps on her stomach, arms curled under the pillow. wears proper pajamas to bed, brushes out and braids her hair beforehand so it doesnt get everywhere

likes a nice hot cup of coffee, maybe a bit of cream and sugar but its not necessary

JASPER

sleeps mainly on his back, but shifts a lot on his sleep, and wakes up every couple hours. puts his hair in a ponytail, but every night it manages to come apart and he wakes up looking like cousin itt from the addams family. depending on the universe, wears sweatpants or the equivalent to bed, plus a t-shirt in fallout

prefers a nice cold glass of juice, but will take tea or coffee if thats not available. whatever it is has to be sweet though. very sweet

ELLIOTT

when he actually goes to bed the right way- as in, not passing out at his desk in whatever he was wearing all day- he sleeps halfway between his back and his side. needs silence, with just a little bit of white noise. likes to sleep in shorts and one of kaidans sweaters

coffee, with enough sugar to put a small child in a coma, topped with the equivalent of a bottle of five-hour energy

MAUR

when she bothers to rest, she sprawls across the bed on her back, usually taking up most of it and some portion of either the wall or floor. remarkable, for someone her size. often sleeps in whatever clothes she wore that day, but when shes feeling safe and secure she might strip down to her underwear. will sleep on anything vaguely horizontal and not currently on fire

a nice warm mug of mead is her go-to, just because she likes the taste. she doesnt actually need to have anything at all to wake up or stay awake, her dragon soul gives her plenty of energy

okay i know the wiki says anoras marriage to cailan was first agreed on in 9:10 and that she wasnt much for playing with other kids but like

i want fic of the baby nobles being a bunch of little shits together. maura and anora and delilah running around with all the confidence and actually-rather-calculated recklessness that comes with being twelve year old girls. gilmore awkwardly trailing along behind maura because hes her best friend and shes not going to let him just sit out of their adventures. cailan being dragged along when they can sneak him out of whatever hes Supposed to be doing. sometimes nathaniel gets roped in because hes older than everyone else and they need someone who can be the vaguely-adult supervision. thomas howe is younger than everyone and so gets left out a lot but he still tries to keep up because theres no other kids his age around

and fic of the kids all growing up knowing that theyre going to have Responsibilities, some of them are going to marry each other (they just dont know who, or who they want it to be if theyd get a choice), but it hasnt like. sunk in and become Real. its a problem for when theyre grown-ups, and so they grow up more or less a very relaxed polycule that works itself out over time. maura kisses all the howes and decides she likes anora best, gilmore kisses maura and figures out he doesnt like anyone at all really, anora kisses maura and cailan and wants them both and when it sinks in that she cant have both she accepts it but on the inside she sulks for a week

and a small part of her, the twelve year old with neat braids and dirt-scuffed stockings, whispers that cant a queen do whatever she wants? but no, little one, theres expectations and reputations and an image to maintain, so she marries cailan when theyre all barely adults, and maura refuses to speak to either of them, or visit, or even reply to her letters. for seven years she doesnt see her but in flashes here and there at landsmeets, and then as soon as she blinks cailan is dead and highever in ruins and she refuses to cling to the rumors of the warden who escaped ostagar, the towering woman with bright red hair and a silver tongue to match two long gleaming daggers

but the twelve-year-old remembers the girl she loved, proud and stubborn and long freckled limbs and a smile that could get them out of almost any trouble. she hopes, and she dreams, and she stays quiet and waits

bethany gives a small groan as she stares at her reflection. she looks like a child’s attempt at dress-up. her hands ride from smoothing out the silky skirt of the dress to curl in front of her chest and twist the end of her pearl necklace between her fingers, back and forth and back again

“i- i don’t know about this...” she glances over mirror-her’s shoulder to maura’s back, outlined in a sharp fitted dark suit jacket that takes bethany’s breath away. the rise and fall of maura’s arms suggest that she’s busy adjusting her collar and tie, as she doesn’t turn around but hums reassuringly,

“you’ll be fine, darling, it’s just dinner with my brother,” bethany turns her earrings forward slightly, before putting them back, only to find that they were never quite comfortable to start with

“the why dress up like this?”

“because you look especially pretty in fine clothes” bethany’s brow twists downward as her smile curls up,

“thought you said i always look pretty.”

“you do,” maura spins on her toes and smirks into the mirror, “but now everyone else can see it, too, and know that they only get a fleeting glimpse while i have the distinct pleasure of calling you mine” bethany’s cheeks darken and her hands freeze halfway between reaching to adjust her hair ribbon. there’s a lengthy pause before she finally squeaks,

“oh. i. hm. yes, i. i suppose there might be that...” maura crosses the bedroom in two long, easy strides and bends to kiss her darkened, heated cheek

“there is also the pleasure that comes from everyone we pass knowing that i belong, body and soul, to the most beautiful girl in steelport,” her smile only grows as bethany hides her face in her hands,

“oh now you’re just… ugh!”

“and besides,”

“don’t you dare,” she peeks out through her fingers,

“half the fun of dressing up is seeing how fast you can take it all off later on”

#saints row tag #endlessly screaming into the void #the magpie writes #bethers #maura cousland #mauras goal every time she opens her mouth is to make bef blush harder than the last time she said anything

[queerloquial]

for maura: Do we live in a world of parallels? Can there be no hope without grief? No happiness without suffering? Or is a utopia possible?

she paces before you, one slow, careful step after another, toe to heel to toe to heel. “i believe,” her brows come together, “that these are two different questions. one can know hope and happiness and fulfillment without having experienced true grief, suffering, and emptiness. a torch is more visible at night, but that does not mean the fire does not exist in the daylight. as for the concept of a utopia... i do not think that comes down to a question of parallel concepts, but of the nature of man. there always were and always will be those who perpetuate suffering whether intentionally or not, which makes a true utopia impossible. however, perfection being unattainable is no reason to not strive to better the world anyways. someone must be there to counteract the harm”

for elliott: Could you ever become your own hero? Is that a role you can fulfill or is it something you look to others for?

he stares blankly over your shoulder and idly twists a spinner ring around his finger. “i think,” he begins quietly, “i may be, the wrong person for this. sort of question. i. do not understand, the idea of. designating a hero. you will disagree with, everyone you meet. many will disappoint you, in some fashion. it is inevitable. placing anyone, on a pedestal, so to speak... it is inadvisable. better to, chart your own course, as it were. trust in your own mind, above all. learn from others, yes, their. successes and their failures. the reasons for each. but following someone else’s path, it will not save you. it cannot. you must be your own person”

for maur: you have the key to immortality in your hands. But not for free. If you want it, as a price, your worst enemy also gains immortality. Is it worth it?

she leans back in her chair and crosses her bare feet on the table before her. her nose wrinkles, “okay well technically i already got that- dragon soul, it’s immortal, this squishy body is just a vessel, blah blah blah, an also anyone really worthy of bein called my ‘worst enemy’ or whatever is also functionally immortal, so...” she tilts her head side to side and heaves a sigh, “but, in the spirit of not bein a dick about particulars... no. ain’t nothin worth livin forever an ever. you leave behind everythin you love eventually. people die, things decay, countries change, so what’ve you got left in the end? shit all, that’s what. immortality ain’t worth a thing”

for jasper: If you could jump back through time to save a loved one’s life, would you? Despite what it might to do the timeline? To everyone else? Do you believe it is their fate to die regardless?

he frowns at you specifically, squid: “i know what this is about and you are a massive dick. and yeah it’s nice to think about sometimes; what if i’d done this or that, gone these places instead of those, spoke up, stayed quiet, a hundred ideas for every situation. but things in the past had to work they way they did to get to this exact present, and that includes losing people i really wish i didn’t have to let go of. but if i’d found a way to keep them, would i still end up where i am now, with the people and life that i do have? would i be the same person? would i be willing to sacrifice who i am now for some hypothetical version of me that i may not like or even recognize? ... maybe i’m assuming a lot of ‘worsts’, but. you get my point”

an old maura cousland+bethany hawke au i just rediscovered:

morrigan’s ritual is completed and neither dies to the archdemon

everything is fine and dandy for a few years

start feeling effects of the calling

panic

maura goes off in search of a cure, leaving bethany with the other amaranthine wardens. story continues as normal

bethany takes the place of the warden contact in da3

hawke and bethany go to adamant with the inquisition, quest runs as normal

you see where im going with this dont you

option a: bethany once again can only sit back and watch as someone else decides her fate for her, only this time the direct result is that her last surviving family member dies in her place

option b: maura returns to amaranthine exhausted but successful in her search only to find her order in disarray and a letter from leliana that starts “i’m so sorry”

#dragon age tag #dao tag #da3 tag #endlessly screaming into the void #warden girlfriends #maura cousland #bethers #:) :) :) #this is fine #and im deciding now that theres an option c: hawke stays in the fade and bef afterwards finds a way to go back in

[queerloquial]

idek my dude. best explanation i have is that im in a sappy mood tonight

“so, why *do* you call me ‘firefly’?” maura nudges her head back against the soft pudge of bethany’s stomach, eyes still closed. the smile at the edge of her mouth twitches wider when bethany’s hand rubs at her shoulder where the nightshirt had slipped to the side, fingers sliding under the lacy edge to rub gentle circles around scattered freckles. hawke shrugs and hums a response

“because fireflies remind me of good things,” she wants to say, “remind me of summer nights by the side of the road, sitting around a campsite with my siblings and my parents. remind me of my mothers smile before she grew old and bitter. my sister catching lightning bugs between her fingers and holding them for me to see. my father pulling me into his lap when i woke from a nightmare and humming songs to me until i fell asleep on his shoulder. fireflies remind me of feeling safe and warm and of when times were simple and happy. things that i feel here with you.“

“because fireflies are... bright like fire. and. fire is red, like your hair?” she stutters instead, grateful for the darkness that hides the sudden rush of hot color to her cheeks. maura laughs, soft and ringing, and loops one arm back to graze curled knuckles against bethany’s back

“oh, better than the time you compared my eyes to dirty water. progress! i’ll make a flirt out of you yet, dearest” bethany flicks her fingers sharply against maura’s chin, but breathes out a laugh of her own

“and why should i flirt with anyone else? i already have you, don’t i?” she’s still deciding whether to say it aloud when the words tumble from her mouth of their own volition. she doesn’t even realize they have until maura gives a comfortable sigh,

“yes, you do. always”

[queerloquial]

found part of an old ‘hawkes become wardens in addition to the existing wardens’ au with squid

ok but have you considered, in the multiple wardens au maura roping jasper into teaching her a handful of rivaini words and phrases so she can tell bethers things like 'i love you' and 'you look beautiful today' in her own language her accent needs a little work, but the words are right, and the intent consider that neither maura nor jasper let bethers know shes learning rivaini either, so its a complete surprise when maura one day scoops her up to press fluttering kisses across her cheeks and nose, whispers 'te amo, querida' in between giggles

hfidhdhfh AT BOTH THIS AND MALCOLM

hehehe <3

i just woke up from a nap and catapulted into wordless screaming

good

okay but have you considered zevran lowkey grilling bethany about what sort of presents jasper likes back

tghbjnk i had not (mm... he likes jewelry, for one; soft fabrics and sensory things; little trinkets from far-off places) (rivaini items are, nturally, his favorite, but he likes just about anything that gives him thoughts of a lifetime of traveling thedas, free to do as he pleases)

zevran disappears into certain back rooms in denerim and comes back with a travelogue of a rivaini seer grey warden alistair is appalled. where'd you get that. what. where. how. and zevran just winks i'm guessing the Mage underground trades it back and forth

most likely jasper gapes at the book, looks from zevran to it and back again, smile playing at the corners of his mouth. 'i... you... this...'

zevran tries to look utterly nonchalant but he's clearly hanging onto Jasper's every word. "i did, and it is," he confirmed, with a nervous smile

'how are you so utterly amazing?' he mutters, pulling zevran into the warmest bear hug he he can possibly manage, and if he leans down a bit to kiss his forehead that's nobody's business but their own

let my cries touch their hearts

Still in mourning for her family, Maura Cousland doesn't take threats lightly, and has no time for mercy. Assistance from a Chantry sister might change things.

Femslash February Prompt: Red.

Female Cousland/Leliana, Pre-Relationship.

"We surrender!"

If the sister hadn't stayed her hand, Maura knew that she would have slaughtered every last one of Howe's Loghain's men, without remorse.

There was one last man standing, the other two having been downed by her or one of her companions. Alistair was even more furious than she was about Loghain's betrayal, and Morrigan, it seemed, had no patience for those that would attack her. But Maura, the child of a Teyrn, the daughter of the Seawolf, should know better.

  Mercy, Maura. We must always have mercy on our enemies, as the Maker teaches.

She pressed her blade against his throat. It was already red with the blood of his fellows, and Maura wasn't inclined to listen to her mother's lessons at the moment.

Her mother was dead, and it was men like this who were responsible.

"Wait!" The sister rushed towards Maura, laying her hand on her right arm, stopping her blade. "Stop! Don't kill him!"

Maura could feel her lips draw back in a parody of a smile.

"Why not?" she asked, the edge of her sword - the Cousland sword - digging into his neck. "He would have killed me."

"You do not kill an unarmed man. One who has surrendered."

Maura doubted that either Loghain or his men would afford her the same courtesy. She glanced over at the sister, the woman who had fought with them and showed so much skill. Her hair was almost as short as Maura's own, and red, but not the red of blood.

The red of sunset.
