In a kinder, better world, she wouldn’t be needed. But then again, in a kinder, better world, she never would have existed. Is that how she justified being who — what — she was?

For Adrian/Thane!

❤️ Who is the more romantic one? Do they wish their partner was more romantic?

💐 What’s their favorite “domestic bliss” moment? Do they cook/clean together? Do they like to go out shopping together?

💜 How do they silently show love or affection towards the other?

And @aceghosts

❤️ Who is the more romantic one? Do they wish their partner was more romantic?

Tough call, because they're both sentimental romantic dorks xD Like, outwardly? Half the Normandy crew's losing their shit (out of earshot ofc) that the scary assassin is the sort of sap who memorizes a favorite drink or will leave flowers, most of them would say Thane is the more... obviously romantic one. Thane would not necessarily disagree, but would deeply argue that nearly tearing oneself apart at the molecular level to avenge his dead wife puts at least a few points Adrian's way. (As does the poetry and music...)

In any case: they're both quite content with what the other has to offer, as is everyone else around them because anything more would be insufferable :D

💐 What’s their favorite “domestic bliss” moment? Do they cook/clean together? Do they like to go out shopping together?

Differs! Adrian would absolutely say cooking: Like. She has, historically, managed to fuck up the likes of MREs, so getting to advance to 'can grill a cheese without setting off smoke alarms' is one of those delightful little milestones that becomes even better when it's shared with her boyfriend, y'know? But beyond that... it's the sort of domestic moment Thane thought he'd never have again, and the sort Adrian never even contemplated getting to really have. The warmth as things cook, the scent and taste of the ingredients, catching up on the day or singing or just working in companionable silence is... so far removed from so much of the rest of their lives. For Thane, it's a second chance and a return to what he loved, but for Adrian... it kind of becomes a major distinction between two phases of her life, even more so than literally coming back to life lol.

Thane, meanwhile, would be hard-pressed to name anything more specific than 'time together'. He's used to solitude and had pretty much accepted his time with Irikah and Kolyat as a tragic blip in what was meant to be a lonely life. Finding anyone else was never even a consideration let alone a hope- so it's those quiet moments he treasures most, just simply being /together/.

💜 How do they silently show love or affection towards the other?

H a n d s

No but seriously they are so touchy - not much overt, especially in public, but it gets. Obvious lol. Quick touches to the arm or shoulder, linked hands. (And one that... Thane didn't quite consciously pick up on doing, Adrian straight up did not catch, but /so many other people did/ and it Sparked Some Rumors: Thane would kind of keep positioning himself just behind & beside Shepard in sort of a bodyguard way more than general squadmate follow lol.)

💛 What are their favorite activites to do together?

Cooking (particularly in the AU take on 3), reading, biotic sparring & shooting are definitely up there. I also imagine, in the 'congrats living is harder than dying' AU, they take up gardening and just find a lot of contentment in that or like, hiking together - spending time outside in a non-combative way xD

🍿 If they had a movie (or other fiction) couple equivalent, what couple would it be and why?

... yeah i got nothing for this one the tired sleepy is winning and apparently i have never seen a movie or read a book to draw a comparison from xD

🤍 What is their favorite or most admired quality in the other?

For Adrian - Thane's ability to accept things. That he could live through so much tragedy and still like... live, without it eating at him every waking moment; even when he shakes off the passive calm... he's still leagues ahead of her, in being able to face up to a situation as it is and not be shaken half to pieces from fear.

For Thane - Adrian's passion. Even though they met at about her lowest point - she loved so much and so /deeply/ - even if she didn't care for her own life, she cared for everything around her enough to keep trying, instead of simply shutting everything else out.

🍬 Who is their biggest supporter (friend, family, etc)?

Tough call xD Though I feel Chakwas and Mordin would be up there, and as far as my canon goes, were the first to pick up on anything (quite literally in Mordin's case), and were quite supportive - they're the ship doctors and had to deal with Adrian and Thane quite a bit beyond the usual injury patchups, so they got a unique little view of just how positive an effect they had on each other - /and just how much the pining fucked with them/ xD

No-pressure writing ask: what's a line or a scene you've written that you still think about because it makes you happy?

‘Happy’ isn’t my usual writing forte, but when I sat down to think for something that actually elicited some of that vibe instead of just like, a passage I was particularly proud of…

… and I immediately thought of this scene near the end of To Find a Cure, an Anora/f!Cousland epistolary fic I wrote a few years ago which takes place during the events of Inquisition!

A flash of hot panic runs through Elissa’s belly. Her hands shift to grasp Anora’s shoulders. “Anora. Anora. Listen to me.”

Anora stares back at Elissa, intently hanging onto her every word. Is this really it? Their final goodbye? There are no words that can truly capture the magnitude of the moment.

Elissa wets her lips. “Anora. When I die…” She takes a deep ragged breath, stopping short. She’d never actually confronted her inevitable death before, like it was something that was absolutely going to happen instead of something she was desperate to prevent.

She’d never been the type for wills or testimonies or succession planning. That had been her wife’s forte. She doesn’t know what to say.

She goes with her gut.

“When I die,” she finally continues, blood roaring in her ears, “I don’t want another fucking statue.”

Cauthrien laughs before Anora even has a chance to process what Elissa's said. There's a moment where they're all laughing, the three of them, and even Dog seems to be joining in.

#my endings are usually more bitter than sweet so I like how this fic is more sweet than bitter!! #elissa and anora are in LOVE!!! #anyway #anora mac tir x cousland #anora mac tir #asha answers #thank you for the fun ask friend! it gave me a good opportunity to reflect on my preferred writing beats #mxanigel

Tell me about a song from your Spotify Wrapped that you looooove but haven't gotten an ask with its number yet!

My number 2 song... which I knew months ago would either be number 1 or 2. Fuel by Metallica. It's one of those songs that to me is really stupid and silly but I can't help but love it. One of the main reasons that I listened to it so much is for some reason I was on the subway and wasn't feeling well so needed a distraction, and for some reason my thought was "I need to listen to Fuel on repeat until I get home".

Thanks for asking :D

For the headcanons ask, I'd love to hear about your thoughts on Merrill!

Thank you so much for the ask!!! Merrill is my fave ever! Sexuality Headcanon: Personally, i think the Neuroqueer label applies best to her! it is when someone's queerness and neurodivergence are so inherently mixed they cannot be separated! Gender Headcanon: Somewhere in the femme/women realm. Demi-girl would work well, and She/Her Fae/Faer pronouns A ship I have with said character: love shipping her with FemmeHawke! though MerriBella is a great ship too A BROTP I have with said character: Not sure what BROTP means, but I'm guessing a platonic best friend situation? If done well, I think her becoming friends with Fenris post DA2 (and Fenris getting more comfortable with mages, maybe apologizing for being so rude) could be really precious. A NOTP I have with said character: Carver/Merrill, no offense to those who like it, but the few lines Carver has about her are upsetting to me due to personal reasons. A random headcanon: I think she loves Sewing, for a practical reason because fixing clothes and such is important when on a tight budget. But when she mends clothes, she also does her best to make the mend visible (using contrasting colours with the original material) because it tells it's own story General Opinion over said character: Absolutely love her. She is my wife, she is the best girl in the world, never did anything wrong!

🎀 give yourself a compliment about your own writing (if you've already received this ask, give yourself another one!) 🍭 why did you start writing?

🎀Not sure how to compliment myself? But I think I write emotional intimacy and emotional intelligence very well. Also think I write longing very well as well as horny and emotionally engaging sex scenes and smut. Actually I think the fact that I've written smut that a lot of ace people enjoy is the biggest compliment possible.

🍭honestly? because I didn't see the content I wanted read so i started writing it. I also wanted to write bisexual Cassandra coming out and embracing her bisexuality in a beliveable way and 110k+ words later here we are, now with added demisexuality and a life long love for Ellana I literally can't explain to anyone I know irl because they don't need to know that about me 😅😅

How does Adrian feel about her reputation during ME1?

She's this close to making a shirt that says 'Send 1k credits to [email protected] if you want to bring up Akuze'

While she's never been proud of the Sole Survivor reputation preceding her, it was... tolerable enough, vaguely. As soon as she gets the Spectre position though, it just. It's downhill from there, because she has only the faintest goddamn idea of what she's doing. Adrian is a computer nerd with good aim and good barriers, developing this reputation as a major soldier is. Pressure. A lot of pressure. (Which does crack after Virmire, literally the only reason her reputation didn't shift to 'raving lunatic who propositioned Counselor Tevos right there in the Council Chambers' is because Sovereign attacked within about 12 hours of that incident.)

She does get some satisfaction out of being known for bringing together such an unlikely crew, though, so there's that?

From the soft asks! 1) what song makes you feel better? 29) morning, afternoon or night?

What song makes you feel better? My number one go to pump up song is Glorious by Macklemore. Like, it has always cheered me up, but something about it permanently altered my brain chemistry the day I listened to it on repeat while driving home from work while I was waiting to hear back from HR about a promotion a few years ago. Whenever I listen to it now I'm immediately transported back to the way I felt that day: full of joy and hope and pride and achievement!! I never thought I would really make anything of myself, and yet, here I was!! It truly was a turning point for my life getting a lot better. Unfortunate that the pandemic kicked off soon after, but at least it provided me with some emotional buffer for the roller coaster of challenges that lay ahead. I'm still here! I did it! I made it!! In sum: 🎵 my mama told me never bow your head, woo! 🎵 29. Morning, afternoon or night? brb crying in shiftworker for whom time has lost all meaning sdjksdjk. but purely from a time of day perspective, I'd have to go with late afternoon, from 3pm-sundown? It's when I have the most energy when it's still light out, and there's just something about the sun that makes everything more bearable. [soft 'get to know me' asks]

From the artist asks! 🐻 Your go-to things to draw when you need comfort? 🌗 Is night or day better for drawing?

🐻 Your go-to things to draw when you need comfort?

Usually Geralt LOL. He is my blorbo, my comfort character, my everything. If I don't feel like drawing a person though I usually just end up doodling some flowers or some 2DFX stuff

🌗 Is night or day better for drawing?

Night time! I always end up drawing at a point where I SHOULD be going to bed but then stay up and suddenly it's 3am

Thank you for sending the ask! :D
