thinking about earthborn shepard never knowing what a home is comforting a homesick tali on the sr1

thinking about shepard saying 'youll reclaim your homeworld someday, tali. if your father cant help you, i will' because she may not understand what a home is but theres nothing she wouldnt do for tali

thinking about shepard saying keelah se'lai ‘by the homeworld i hope to see one day' to tali before facing down the reaper on rannoch

thinking about tali leaving her people on rannoch to fight by shepard's side

thinking about shepard doing everything she can to make sure that the galaxy survives if only so that tali can finally have her home on rannoch

thinking about shepard saying to tali 'get back to rannoch. build yourself a home.'

and tali's broken reply 'i have a home. come back to me.'

thinking about shepard realising, right before the end, that she does know what a home is, and she's had one this whole time

thinking about how happy they would've been, building a house together, already at home

🎶 9 Ship Songs 🎶

Thank you @my-dumb-obsessions for tagging me ❤️ I saw this and wanted to do it too so I’m very grateful xD

Rules: List 9 songs for one (or more) of your ships. Optionally, tag 9 people.

Tagging @azurechicken @sillyliterature @ace-trash-boi @elvhencore @daedrabait @queentheirins @yurissweettooth @malabadspice @corgiofdeath only if you wanna do it! No pressure ❤️ and sorry if you’ve already been tagged 😅 Also anyone else who wants to do this ofc!

This got long so I’m putting it under the cut 😅

I can’t choose one ship lmao so, starting off with Dragon Age~

Riyaad x Fenris (for when Fenris leaves yknow. I promise they’re not this angsty all the time)

Shadow Preachers by Zella Day

I close my eyes, just close the door You want a minute, I'll give you more Maybe I don't want you either We're both unsettled, nighttime creatures Shadow preachers, nighttime creatures

Veara x Solas (though tbh this is just peak Solavellan song to me, it’s not really specific to Veara idk)

Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) - Acoustic by AURORA

He holds the gun against my head I close my eyes and bang, I am dead I know he knows that he's killing me for mercy

Garrett x Anders (two apostates against the world + religious trauma who doesn’t love it!)

Sinners by Lauren Aquilina

So lets be sinners to be saints And lets be winners by mistake The world may disapprove But my world is only you And if we're sinners then it feels like heaven to me Our hearts are too ruthless to break Lets start fires for heaven's sake

Arianwen x Cullen (this was always their song for me, I listened to it all the time when I was writing Command Me to Love)

Gold by Echos

Nobody knows who I am I've got intentions of gold with my plans Nobody knows who I am I've got intentions of gold with my plans

Some polyships—

Heroes of Ferelden (Nayima x Leliana x Alistair)

Nayima x Leliana (they have issues post blight/honeymoon phase but they’ll work things out eventually. I see this as Leliana singing the song about Naya)

October Passed Me By by Girl in Red

Yeah, I got bitter when you got cold Could you really blame me though? 'Cause I'm still tied up when you go You know this song is about you, who else could it be? You were the first to make me feel like I was me

Nayima x Alistair (sometimes I think I choose this song for them/aliwarden just because it has the word ‘tainted’ in it)

Battlefield by SVRCINA

Meet me on the battlefield Even on the darkest night I will be your sword and shield, your camouflage And you will be mine

i havent made a leliana x alistair playlist yet

3 Snipers + Tali (the name started as a joke but it stuck lmao. So this is Sarani’s polycule with Tali, Thane and Garrus. Garrus is also romantically involved with the other two, Tali and Thane are queerplatonic. It’s a whole thing, I’m writing their story rn and it’s pretty complicated ngl but I’m having fun)

Sarani x Tali (yeah ok the music video I edited for them is to a different song but… *shrugs*)

Love from NGC 7318 by Tanerélle, Barnes Blvd.

I wanna tell you how I feel tonight I keep trying, but the words ain't right Nothing's fitting for a kind like you I'm never speechless when the earth's my view Killing the time Building a fort Wrapped in each other as we fall in love I've never met a girl like you, never met a girl like you

Sarani x Thane (but they WILL last, they WILL, I will MAKE IT SO)

Won’t by Tanerélle

I tell him 'Go fast' I've gotta thing for speed He tells me 'Lean back' I let him take the lead I know it won't last But he is all I need I write my name over his tongue So it is all he speaks I got a million fucking reasons I should leave him But I don't I got a million fucking reasons to stop dreaming But I won't

Sarani x Garrus (hmm, that’s a lot of Tanerélle, you might think. idk I was listening to a lot of her when this polycule was cooking in my head)

Ripe by Tanerélle

I know you been thinking that you can't But I think that you should If I can make your whole body ache I can make you feel good I'm what you need, I'm what you know Hooked on your axis You make my world go I'll keep you wild I'll keep you free Say you'll be mine I'll show you what that means

I have songs for the entire polycule too but I’m already at 9 so I’ll stop lmao

for poetry requests: fshali + home/homecoming

send me stuff to write poems about <3

fshali my beloved!! i was fully in bed and i got up just to write this because they give me so much brainrot

shamelessly sharing my other fshali stuff below <3

this post about earthborn shepard and tali that if you squint is basically a poem. i still think about this all the time. had to be careful not to write the exact same thing here cause... home.

this gmv (gay music video) i edited for them because. again. brainrot. god i love them so much kjdfhgs

After Death, a poem i wrote about shepard in me2. Not Tali specific, i kept it vague on purpose. And I had Sarani's polycule in mind, not just Tali but thinking of their stories, it fits Tali's relationship with Sarani the best.

12, 30, 42 for the ship asks!

thanks for the ask!! <3 I'll choose different ships for them all

questions are from here

12. Do they have many heated arguments? How do they smooth things over?

otp: 3 snipers + tali (sarani shepard, tali'zorah, garrus vakarian, thane krios)

They have a LOT of arguments, especially early on in the relationship (not so much later) and especially between Sarani x Garrus and Sarani x Thane. Garrus and Thane too probably, but it's not as bad. Sarani's and Garrus's relationships with Tali is a lot more chill. Thane and Tali a different dynamic. The arguments mainly stemmed from Sarani's recklessness and hypocrisy (which is why they don't argue about it later, she figures things out eventually. with their help <3). Because she sort of wants to die. And also because she was pushing Garrus that like, the ends do not justify the means, we shouldn't hurt innocents while we're trying to catch the bad guy, and he listens to her but then she turns around and does the opposite of what she's preaching ('if it's wrong for me to do it, why is it okay for you??'). Same kinds of arguments with Thane, but they also clashed because they both kind of disagree with each other on a lot of different things. But it's also kind of because they mirror each other a lot so they criticise in the other what they hate most about themselves, if that makes sense. So it does get heated sometimes (like maybe one or two big ones) but mostly it's not that bad. It's a lot of talking, and later, cuddling. This got long lol sorry.

30. Your OTP gets to pick out each other’s outfits; what is each wearing?

Garrett x Anders

I have a thing for my babies wearing each other's clothes, but also Anders would love seeing Garrett in his coat. Garrett would do the blood swipe on Anders. Garrett would probably get Anders kitty pyjamas if that was a thing in Thedas.

42. What’s their favorite type of weather to enjoy together? (getting snowed in together, watching thunderstorms, etc.)

otp: heroes of ferelden (nayima x alistair x leliana)

They aren't all together for very often, and never for long, so I think taking the time to just chill and enjoy something like this is like... rare for them. But maybe there was a stormy day once, when both Alistair and Leliana were in Amaranthine. The three of them cosy up in the Warden-Commander's chambers and they reminisce about the Blight, and how wet and muddy and cold it got. They all heap into a big cuddle pile in front of a fire, and despite the troubles plaguing their relationship (the constant separation, but also all the other angsty drama), despite all the unfinished stuff and things left unsaid (or very much said that still hurts them), they get to just... relax. and appreciate being alive and together. Their relationship was a lot less complicated during the Blight, and things are Real now, but in some ways it is much easier now than it was then. Maybe just relaxing together and cuddling and joking about the Blight reminds them of how much they love each other - how much they want to keep trying to stay together, despite their various problems. Maybe once they're apart again, or things between them get hard again, a stormy day comes along, and even far away from each other, they all smile a little. It's hard. But it's worth it.

#thanks again for the ask!!#when i list sarani's polycule i always put thane last #its to avoid accusations of favoritism (says person who named themselves thane)#ask games #asks #sharkyboshaw #garrett x anders #sarani shepard #garrus vakarian #tali'zorah vas normandy #thane krios #garrett hawke #anders #nayima surana #alistair theirin #leliana #death ideation #three snipers and a shotgun #heroes of ferelden
