Happy Friday, Syrupywit! For DADWC, I have an angsty prompt: C15. Hurting oneself with power overuse to save another character (and they’re mad about it). For Anders/Fenris, please! Thank you :)
Hello, and thank you so much! There might be more of this story, but I think it's at a good stopping place. Under the cut, please find >1200 words of Anders/Fenris for @dadrunkwriting.
CW: non-explicit suicidal ideation.
-
Through the haze of cold, shock, and what he can tell must be pain, Anders sees Fenris’s outraged expression. A laugh curls out of him, and he chokes, feeling blood and phlegm rising in his throat, lyrium gritty on his tongue and nostrils. He falls to the forest floor.
It was worth it. Though this last effort may have killed him, draining more than what was left of his strained and abused mana as he blasted the wolves swarming them with spikes of ice, it was worth the look on Fenris’s face. He feels his eyes roll back in his head, but his mouth won’t stop smiling.
“Idiot,” the elf says, “idiot mage.” Rough hands haul him into a lap, gauntlets catching and tearing his coat. Anders is shivering, and Fenris is trying to warm him, cursing as he rocks his body against Anders’.
“Told you I’d prove myself to you,” Anders says, but it comes out garbled and wrong. Fenris doesn’t hear him. In the distance, more wolves howl.
Darkness takes him.
-
Anders wakes, and had not thought he would. Every day that he’s been out here with Fenris, traveling through the wilds to rendezvous with Hawke and the others, has been one more than he expected.
He wants to die. Kill him and be done with it.
It’s near dawn. A fire spits embers close by. Anders has been wrapped in a blanket and several furs, tightly and efficiently, so that the cool air is a shock when he shifts enough to expose some skin.
Fenris is staring at the fire, apparently lost in thought, but he snorts when Anders starts struggling to sit up.
“Try not to strain yourself any further,” he says.
“You’re so considerate,” says Anders. “I thought you’d be thrilled to get rid of me.” His head feels heavy and off-balance, body still tingling with the last traces of the lyrium potions he took.
“Yes, well, Hawke would ask awkward questions if I showed up without you.”
“Really, like what?” Anders switches to imitating Hawke in goal-oriented mode. It’s an uncharitable impression, and too shaky and clumsy to be accurate, but give him a break; he’s just cheated death for the hundredth time. “‘Fenris, was it fast, or did you make Anders suffer? Tell me you made him suffer. Why didn’t you make him suffer more?’”
While Fenris’s expression doesn’t change, the firelight catches his eyes differently. Even for an elf, he has striking eyes, luminous and empty as windows. Merrill’s are prettier. “Neither your self-pity nor your performances of self-sacrifice have ever endeared you to me.”
“Andraste’s ashes, it was a joke. I know better than to court your sympathy.” Anders maneuvers himself into an upright position and is at once exhausted. “I guess that’s all the thanks I’m going to get for saving you from, and I’m under-counting here, 20 to 30 wolves.”
“Mage.” Fenris’s voice is hard. “Stop fighting.”
“I’m not fighting. If I were trying to fight you, your hand would be through my chest by now, and we’d both have peace.”
“You need to rest.”
“Oh, Serah Healer, I defer to your many years of expertise,” says Anders nastily, but he slumps back down. He shuts his eyes, searching for sleep.
-
What might be some time later, judging from the lightness of the sky, he feels Fenris sit next to him.
“What are you doing?” says Anders. The elf’s movements are guarded, slow, and very deliberate. He seems to be trying not to startle Anders, as if the brands aren’t constantly singing to Anders, making him conscious of Fenris no matter where he is. He used to hate it, that he could walk into a room and know that Fenris was standing here or there.
“Drink.”
Anders opens his eyes, and finds a water-skin thrust near his face. He could refuse it. He could accuse Fenris of trying to poison him, or twist his earlier joke about Fenris’s expertise into an ugly dig at his lack of formal education, the irony of his playing healer to Anders. But he’s thirsty.
“All right,” he mutters, holding out a hand for the skin. Fenris tips it to his mouth instead, then steadies Anders’ chin with his bare fingers, not gentle but not rough.
Anders drinks. Some water dribbles down his chin. Fenris wipes it away with a corner of Anders’ blanket, brisk as a nursemaid, and makes him drink more.
After a point, Anders shakes his head to refuse any more water. He closes his mouth, and Fenris nudges the water-skin to them again, intent.
Maybe it’s just the acute lyrium withdrawal, or the muzzy confusion in his brain, but Fenris’s attention is doing something to him. Maybe he’s the one with the prettier eyes. Anders softens his lips against the rim of the skin, brushing it, almost caressing it.
Fenris’s too-pretty eyes narrow. He takes back the skin, and while Anders watches, he takes a long drink.
“What are you,” says Anders, but he’s not fast enough to dodge when Fenris kisses him.
It’s not the most awkward kiss he’s ever taken part in—that shared honor, the memory of which still humiliates him, belongs to Hawke—but it’s a near thing. Fenris is astonishingly successful at transferring water from his mouth to Anders’ (as in, when he breaks off, there’s more water in Anders’ mouth than before). Anders swallows and splutters.
“Do you think I’m some kind of baby bird?” he manages. “Or is that how people in Tevinter—” Fenris’s mouth clamps over his for a slightly drier but much more thorough kiss.
After he pulls away, Fenris says, “Do not try to hurt yourself again.”
“I wasn’t trying,” says Anders. “I saved you.”
“Your life belongs to Hawke now. It’s not yours to throw away.”
People, and spirits, are always telling Anders that his life isn’t his own anymore. He shivers, the air cold against the water splashed on his skin. “Fine.”
Fenris kisses him a third time, like he thinks that will make Anders obey—or maybe like he can’t help it, like kissing Anders is some great vice that he’s long suppressed and can’t resist now that he’s finally stooped to indulge in it. Which is so surreal a thought that Anders laughs.
“Stop,” says Fenris between kisses, “laughing at me. You are only allowed to laugh at my jokes, when I feel moved to make them.”
“Stop ordering me around.”
“Make better decisions and I won’t have to.” Fenris sounds angry, suddenly, and the next kiss involves teeth.
Something hot and miserable curls in Anders’ chest as he imagines Fenris taking the full measure of that anger out on him. It’s not an idea he’s let himself entertain before, but it seems possible, now that he knows how warm and yielding Fenris’s mouth is, how careful his hands can be. It would hardly be a punishment to repent this way.
Every morning he wakes up, he doesn’t expect to last the day. Fenris could phase right through him now, could tear him to pieces, and it would be more than he deserved.
Someone’s stomach growls, interrupting what had turned into a fairly heated makeout session. Fenris gives him one last, uncomfortably tender kiss and lets him go, getting up to rummage around in their supplies.
“I’m cold,” Anders bitches.
“You’re hungry,” Fenris counters, brandishing some hard bread and a lump of dried something, “and so am I.” Anders realizes that a fizzing sound he had heard and dismissed earlier is a pot of water warming on the fire.
Breakfast isn’t terrible.

Hi, Mari! I hope all is well with you. I saw your free tarot reading offer and I was hoping you could do a reading for me. I'd like to know if there is anything “hidden” in my life that I need to focus on and change in order to move forward? What is the best method to process it (clearing, writing about it, painting, singing, etc)? Are there any past lives I should focus on? Thank you very much, I appreciate your guidance! :)
Hi there! This is a really interesting query, and not a type I have a lot of experience reading for, so I've done my best and I hope it helps. Tbh, my cards weren't very forthcoming on this one. So either it's just not my wheelhouse, or the answer is more straightforward than you think.
Firstly, I pulled the Queen of Cups. This leads me to believe that maybe you have something emotion-related in your life that's "hidden," as you say. This could be that you don't view yourself with clarity, that a relationship of yours needs work, that you're suppressing or avoiding a particular emotion, etc.
Secondly, I pulled the Eight of Pentacles, which I'm viewing as the method to process this. I don't personally read for past lives (or at least not right now), so I did avoid that part of the question. But the Eight of Pentacles indicates to me that you're going to need to put in dedicated hard work to process this. You'll want to put your full focus into it and try to avoid distraction when doing the work. Don't forget balance, though, and remember to ask for help if you need it. Because this is a card that deals with a level of apprenticeship and specific skill development, I'd perhaps suggest processing this via a hands-on method. If you've got a physical hobby like painting, sewing, crafting, baking, gardening, etc. that might be a good way to go. Or if you prefer to write, maybe stick to pen-and-paper over electronic methods.
I hope this helps, and please feel free to reach out with any further questions or clarifications. Take care!

Ixchel Lavellan.
Ginkgo leaf pattern in the background of the left panel taken from @musetta3‘s DirthxChel piece here <3.
With exchange season comin’, I wanted to put together a sheet... Ended up doing a lot of experimenting with the rendering, feeling really meh about it. But it exists now! And it didn’t before.
Ixchel’s Ardent Blossom is marigolds instead of daisies. Marigolds symbolize a dedication to & beyond death, suitable for a Champion, to whom the Ardent Blossom would be given when they took their position.
Ginkgo leaves (and the color gold) have come to symbolize hope. She and Solas have an eternal, golden grove of ginkgo and golden maple trees where they can be at peace together. Ginkgo symbolizes endurance, survival, longevity--all things that she has found, in hope.
Her Anchor bears the imprint of the Orb, and sometimes if she squints she can actually see a ghostly orb surrounding her hand.
Her burned arm is saggy and wrinkly; half a suit of armor was melted to her when she had an encounter with the Fereldan Frostback in her first life--and its dragonlings ripped apart her face. The scar on the center of her chest is from getting stabbed by a Sentinel in the Arbor Wilds. She has a bite mark on her thigh and (not shown) on the side of her neck.
She has a spiraling necrotic burn on her throat that shimmers in the light, from a blast from an Arcane Horror.
She modified the plans for the Sulevin Blade to incorporate the chromatic great sword schematic.
Ixchel’s ears are small on purpose--she isn’t a full elf. She’s not a half elf though, but she doesn’t know what she is.

Happy Wednesday, everyone. Here’s a bit from Daughter of Fire, chapter 13 aka Elluin has too many secrets and suddenly everyone will know about them.Val Royeaux.
The city of radiant abundance shaped Elluin's life more than any other place. In the shadow of the grandiose palaces, she had learned to live among humans and to read the fine threads of truth hidden behind their masks.
When her adoptive father died, the grief of walking alone on the same streets they once roamed drove her to run away and never look back. She renounced the inheritance Hirrum had left her, even though she had promised never to forget him.
For ten years Elluin successfully avoided the beckoning of her second home. For ten long years she pretended that her heart belonged to no place.
With every step the horse took, the years in Val Royeaux came back to her mind, and the vivid memories of the good and bad days she had spent in her adoptive father's bookshop brought tears to her eyes. Tears she could only hold back with difficulty before her companions noticed her grief.
"Sparks, what's going on?" Varric startled her as he spurred the smaller horse and rode closer to Elluin. "You're paler than usual."
Of course Varric had noticed her distress. Hiding her feelings from the man was as futile as hoping that morning would never come.
"I'm fine," she said, waving her hand in front of her face where a group of pesky flies buzzed about. "The flies irritate me."
"Sure they are. Listen, if you want to talk about it ..."
"That's just it, Varric, I don't want to talk about it," she said through clenched teeth. Glory - the magnificent grey horse she rode - sensed her distress and shook his head three times, neighed softly. "I'm sorry, boy," she stroked the horse's head to reassure him. A twinge of guilt quelled her growing annoyance at Varric's persistence. She had often wondered if horses could sense the connection she had with Rage and the power it offered.
"Varric, stop bothering the Herald," Cassandra stepped in when he opened his mouth to insist. "She does not want to speak about her problems, leave her alone."

Fic writers' end-of-year roundup: 2022 edition!
It’s that time of year, writer friends — time to take stock of what we’ve been up to this year! Tagging to literally ANY AND ALL WRITERS who would like to participate, but I’ll throw down some tags from the top of my head: @contrivedchaos @kittynomsdeplume @little-lightning-lavellan, @varric-tethras-editor @lavendreapark @hobo-apostate @ranaspkillnarieth @iamcayc @ocean-in-my-rebel-soul @hollyand-writes @elveny @johaerys-writes @charlatron @noire-pandora @hellas-himself @crackinglamb @barbex @mogwaei @alyssalenko @musetta3 @iarollane @about2dance @mythicaitt @cthu-boo !
Words written (published or not, WIPs included!): 1 012 607. I was hoping to crack a million this year and I FINALLY DID IT. 😂
Smut scenes: 41! Less than other years, but not the least.
New things I tried:
I wrote fanfic for anime for the first time this year — for Samurai Champloo (Fuu/Jin/Mugen) and for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (David/Lucy). On a related note, this year was the first time I wrote for a form of media that I didn’t originally watch in English. I was always a little scared to write in English for something that I hadn’t watched in English, because capturing characters’ voices and speech patterns is so important to me, and it’s hard to translate that across languages. But CPER got me by the throat, so I watched it in both Japanese and English so I could capture the characters’ voices as best as I could. I watched Samurai Champloo dubbed in English, though, and I am a sucker for Jin’s English voice, so that was a snap to write. 😂
For the first time, I also wrote for a game that I’ve never played before: Far Cry 5! @schoute got me reeled in with her raving loving descriptions of cheeky shithead John Seed, and I was compelled to write some smut for her. I had a blast watching a playthrough of FC5 with her (LOVE YOU BB ❤), and writing from John Seed’s POV was A MINDFUCK AND A HALF, let’s just say. GOOD TIMES. 😂
Fic I spent the most time on:
Becoming Whole (Aloy/Kotallo), which has been my main focus since March and is more than 500k words now. I genuinely did not expect or intend for this fic to be this long! I’ll blame the party banter for this. My outline will say “GAIA Gang chat over dinner”, and this single note will translate into 10k words in the chapter 😂💀 In any case, VERY honoured by everyone who has stuck with this extremely long fic!
Fic I spent the least time on:
The Wisdom In A Bowl Of Pudding (Felassan/Tamaris Lavellan). I was inspired by the news about the DA:D milestone and got so excited that this oneshot came together in… one day, I think? One or two. I JUST LOVE FELASSAN OKAY.
Favourite thing I wrote:
It’s a tie between two fics. I loved writing Finding Something In Common (Aloy/Nil/Drakka) because a) writing Nil again after 5 years of being “away” was like coming home 😭❤ and b) I fucking love Drakka with a burning passion LOL. But I also loved writing my Samurai Champloo fic Just Hold On, We’re Coming Home because it was purely and entirely for me. There are so few fics for that anime and even fewer explicit fics for the OT3, so I knew that basically nobody was going to read it and that anyone who did would be really grateful to see a rare fic for the OT3, but I had to write it because I just had the urge and couldn’t rest until I did. It was a gift to myself to kick off the year. 😂
Favourite thing I read:
I’ve actually done some actual reading this year!!! Both of fics and published books, because I wanted to start working my way through my bedside tsundoku, with mixed results: I read a couple of books from my tsundoku pile but then bought the entire Sailor Moon manga set and have only read 6 issues so far 😂😭💀 one step forward, 10 STEPS BACK.
Anyway! Fave fics of the year:
I read a few fics for Samurai Champloo. As I mentioned before, there aren’t many fics for this fandom, but one of the fics I read was both the shortest and the most drop-dead gorgeous fic I’ve ever read: Bodies of Water by moemachina. I genuinely envy this writer for their ability to pack so much emotional punch into so many words.
Where The Time Goes, a Chloe Fraser/Nadine Ross fic by @contrivedchaos. OH MY GOD WAS IT EVER LOVELY. Cat used a repeated phrase/theme throughout the fic that just had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and MY GOD was the ending ever wonderful and satisfying. 😭❤
Written In The Stars, a Kotallo/OC fic by @iamcayc WHICH IS SUCH A TREAT. Caycee has created a wonderful OC to pair up with Kotallo and expanded on Tenakth lore in a way that had me squealing!
HZD Terraforming Base-001 Text Communications Network by Discar. It’s a texting fic between the GAIA Gang and it’s SO GOOD. Hilarious, great characterization of the crew, incredible expansion on the worldstate and lore. I stopped reading halfway through because I was afraid that I’d start accidentally stealing their headcanons/lore expansion since it just makes so much sense, but I just recently noticed that the fic finished, so I might get back into it soon!
Writing goals for next year:
Oh man there are so many things I want to write and so little time and I’M SO MAD ABOUT IT.
Finish Becoming Whole. Now that we know the DLC is coming out in April, I am DETERMINED to finish BW before then so my slate can be clear for new fics ideas 🤩
An Aloy/Avad sequel to Window Bird. The conversation that Aloy and Avad have at the start of HFW makes MY ENTIRE HEART HURT. I will stubbornly maintain that Avad is the most tragic character alive in the Horizon universe, and I’m going to give him some love because he deserves it, the poor sweet man.
More Aloy/Drakka. This entire fic has been my treat to myself, and the next oneshot is in progress -- probably the first thing I'll publish in 2023!
Aloy/Nil. I fucking love Nil to the moon and back, but writing this ship again is going to take some mindfuckery because I’ll be rebooting my take on the ship as though Stormbirds and Stalkers didn’t happen 😅
I’m sure this won’t be all; I always end up getting blindsided by a desire to write something I didn’t expect (e.g. Cyberpunk this year), so we’ll see what else comes up as the year progresses!
Can't wait to see what everyone else has been up to!!! Please tag anyone you think would like to participate, and tag me back so I can spy on what you've been up to as well! 🥰
-- love from your friendly Pikapeppa xoxo

First Sentence Tag Game
I was tagged ages ago by @pikapeppa and @musetta3, thank you both!
Rules: post the first sentence of your last ten fics. If you haven't written ten fics, share as many first-sentences as you have.
I always love doing this tag/seeing others do it, and trying to see if there are any patterns in the first sentences 👀 So let's see what we have!
1. you're a walking disaster, and yet— (Achilles/Patroclus, TSOA/Iliad, T)
The Pelides’ house is big. Very big.
2. what the gods plan (for you and me) (Achilles/Patroclus, TSOA/Iliad, T)
The spear snaps in Achilles’ hands in an explosion of wood, the two halves of it now useless.
3. A World With You (Dorian Pavus/Trevelyan, DA, E)
Tristan always hated the cold.
4. Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions (Achilles/Patroclus, TSOA/Iliad, Gen)
The merchant that showed up at Phthia’s gates that day is an interesting fellow.
5. Twin Flames (Achilles/Patroclus, TSOA/Iliad, E)
Phthia’s hall is packed tonight. Patroclus doesn’t think he’s ever seen it this full.
6. Sacrilegious (Achilles/Patroclus, TSOA/Iliad, E)
Achilles is a pious man.
7. Don't Go Far Off (Achilles/Patroclus, TSOA/Iliad, T)
Achilles restlessly paces the camp.
8. Caught In The Flames (the 'To Flirt With Fire' remix) (Keith/Shiro, Voltron, E)
The first days in a new school are always testing.
9. At the Edge of the Universe (Keith/Shiro, Voltron, E)
Keith’s fingers tighten around the control stick in a death grip.
10. Battle Tactics (Achilles/Patroclus, TSOA/Iliad, T)
Achilles glared at the map before him.
The first couple things that stand out for me is that a) WHOA I've written a lot of Patrochilles lately haha, and b) Most of the time, when the fic is in Achilles' POV, the sentence starts with 'Achilles' 😂 how predictable
Tagging forth to @baejax-the-great @elveny @in-arlathan @midnightprelude @pinkfadespirit @figsandphiltatos @gwensparlour @copper-dust @petrowriting @monstersinthecosmos @thechaoscryptid @acquitarte @starlight-vld @chalkofthevalley @ticktockclockwork and anyone else who would like to do this!

Favorite Line Game
thanks @theluckywizard for tagging me for your game. 🥰I love the idea.
RULES: Pick up to 10 characters and share one of your favorite lines of dialogue you have ever written for them!
Telana to Ameridan -
“Perhaps it should be romanticized. A Dreamer should be allowed to dream for a brighter world.”
Sera to Taliesen Lavellan(OC) -
"That's not a name! That's what it does. Ought to name it something nicer. Like Hedgie, or somethin' Elfie. Or Whatsit."
Solas to Sera -
“I will assure that no harm comes to you while you’re under my watch. And should you encounter any demons, remember what I’ve taught you previously. Start counting cards, they will become too distracted to enter your mind.”
Taliesen to Sera -
“This is more than me making it official. It’s a promise that whatever happens next, that it’ll always be between you and me.”
Taliesen to Solas -
“Do you think that’s fair to Sera?”
Meredith to Lex Lavellan(OC) -
“He is a mage in my city! The safety of my people demands it! Every untrained mage that we let run loose in Kirkwall is one that could one day endanger our citizens. Sword or not, skilled or unskilled, he is still susceptible to possession. The people need to know that an abomination won’t be walking among them.”
Merrill to Taliesen
“I just needed to see you. You would have been mad at yourself about Hawke, otherwise.”

First lines
Tagged in to the fun by @ruiniel and @musetta3 recently. I’m breaking the rules (first lines of your 10 most recent fics). Here’s the first lines of a few WIP things I’ve got open in my tabs at the moment instead...
Unnamed ‘original’ short story (a fairy tale):
"Troublesome women tend to go missing around here…" her mother had once warned her. "So be a good girl, Ginny, and take your step-daddy his beer."
Warden Hawke, Chapter 9:
Carver wakes up in a real bed, with blessed morning sunlight streaming in through a window for the first time in weeks.
Mid-Life, a CYOA/litRPG thing I’ve been poking at for ages:
Chapter 1: It’s 3 am…
You've been scrolling up and down on the same bullshit AI-generated article for the past twenty minutes, completely mesmerized by the way the letters all blend into blocks of text that wiggle at your whim.
Tagging @pinkfadespirit, @serial-chillr, @noire-pandora, @midnightprelude, @normal-goatboy, @blarrghe, @paraparadigm, @convenientcoma, @grumpkinvicky, @sarsaparillia, @cleverblackcat (I saw you just did this and tagged me but I had this drafted yesterday, I swear!), @barbex, @dafan7711, @nirikeehan, @ziskandra, @genginger, and anyone else who wants to share some first lines of things! Or whatever else you want to share. Or nothing at all! Hi, anyway! :)

Happy Monday, everyone! I'm slowly getting back to sharing snippets. I'd be very grateful if you could reply to this post if you want to be tagged. I lost my tagging list.
This is a bit from an one shot I've been planning to write. It takes place after the attack on Haven and Solas isn't happy that Lavellan is so close to dying. Under his watch.
No matter how gifted he was as a healer, in the new, cursed world, death refused to bow to his hands that wielded the long-forgotten magic.
I'm going to tag the people I remember I usually tagged: @rakshadow @rosella-writes @darethshirl @bluewren @dreadfutures @retrowondergirl @fandomn00blr @oxygenforthewicked @thedastrash @musetta3 @roguelioness @thebookworm0001 @anderstrevelyan @barbex @perlen-gold @potatowitch @little-lightning-lavellan @in-arlathan @cleverblackcat
