I had so much fun with the ask yesterday, that I rewrote some bits to make a Dorian/trans male Lavellan version x3 I crossposted both on my Ao3, because I had fun writing it, but I am sharing the altered version here too x3 Just be mindful that this could use some triggering words, and if you are not comfortable with the Cl** and Cu** words being used, stay clear of this please x3 Pairing: Dorian/trans male Lavellan Rating: E

The rush of air felt cold against his flushed cheeks.

He heard the soft splashing of the nearby well, the sound comforting in contrast with the noise inside. Just a moment for himself was all he needed, a moment of calmness after dealing with too many politicians and murder plots.

Revassan took a deep breath, inhaling the soft scents of the exotic flowers around him.

“Ah, and there I wondered where the hero of the evening went. I figured I’d find you here.” Dorian’s voice made him smile on the spot. It had been hard to find even a minute for themselves with everything going on. They’d only been able to squeeze in one tiny dance on the balcony.

“You always seem to sense where to find me,” Revassan smirked at the mage. “I’d almost say you keep a magical tracker on me.”

“Maybe I do.” He watched the eyes of the Altus glinting slightly, his lips stretching into a mischievous smirk. “We Tevinter mages are rather good at keeping track of our elves.” Dorian joked. “Wouldn’t want them to run away and develop free will, right?” he teased.

“Ah, I knew there was a catch.” The elf chuckled, observing as Dorian's expression softened. “I take it you came to fetch me then?”

“Actually, I wanted to steal a moment with you.” Dorian presented him with the bottle of wine he’d held behind his back. “What could be nicer than a picnic in Celene’s gardens right?”

“And also her wine, I assume?”

“Of course.” The mage gestured him toward the stone frame of the well. He would never get dirt onto his outfit. “But to soothe your conscience, I asked very politely,” Dorian added swiftly.

“Aren’t you always?” Revassan chuckled as he graciously sat next to the Tevinter mage. “I’m impressed.”

“As you should be.” By the creators, he loved this cocky man. He’s tried to withstand his charms at first but fell for him sooner than expected. Now, he was caught in his trap, unable to let go of the magnificent man that Dorian Pavus was.

“I see you’re very humble tonight.” Revassan teased, watching as Dorian conjured two drinking cups up before he filled them with the sweet red liquid.

“Of course I am.” Dorian’s mustache moved with his smile. “I am the humblest man you’ll ever meet,” he added, only his eyes betraying his words and calling his tease out. By now, Revassan was more than capable of reading this man.

It took him a while to see the vulnerability of Dorian, but he’d taken a deep understanding after meeting his father in Redcliffe.

“Thank you for sneaking the wine out.” Revassan’s smile was genuine. “I needed it,” he added. The past evening had been a lot, and he hadn’t been sure how to deal with political situations. His people didn’t really meddle in things like that, the conclave being the only exception he witnessed.

If he was honest, it was surprising that they listened to a Dalish elf.

“I know.” Dorian’s voice sounded soft when he spoke. “You’re not ballroom material,” he added, the tease evident in his voice. “For me, it’s like coming home.” His gaze drifted away for a heartbeat, the corners of his lips dropping slightly.

“Do you miss it?”

“Home? Of course. Tevinter might have his flaws, but it’s still my home. Don’t you miss your Clan?” he replied, taking a thoughtful sip of wine as he let it dance on his palate. “Hm, I have to say not bad, but nothing could beat a Tevinter Redwine.”

“I miss them.” A sad smile danced on Revassan’s lips. “I miss them ever since I left. Funny, isn’t it?” he chuckled.

“I always wanted to leave, but now that I am so far away from them, I can’t help but want to go back.” It wasn’t as if he could or would, to begin with. There had been nothing more he wanted but to go back when he woke up in the dungeon in Haven. But he knew there was no turning back now.

He’d come too far for that.

Also, there was Dorian. He wasn’t sure if his father would approve of a Tevinter Altus, meaning he’d need to make a choice sooner or later. For now, though, he didn’t want to choose.

“We always miss the things we can’t have. Or so they say.” The mage’s face turned firm, his eyes studying him intensely.

“I told myself I won’t compromise myself anymore.” He set the cup aside before his hand stretched to touch Revassan’s cheek. The elf felt the cold metal of Dorian’s rings pressing against his skin, the touch soothing against his wine-heated cheeks.

“Neither should you.”

Revassan couldn’t say who initiated it, maybe both of them, but he didn’t care much about the hows and who’s as he melted contently into the kiss. Dorian always knew what he needed, the sweet taste of Orlesian wine lingering on his lips.

He got lost in the touch, slightly shuddering against the mage’s palm cupping his cheek.

It was easy to forget everything around them as he closed his eyes, just enjoying the moment and closeness of the other man against him as neither wanted to withdraw.

“Getting a little excited?” Dorian chuckled against his lips as he felt him shiver

He didn’t even give him a chance to answer until his tongue brushed against his lips, gently asking for entrance before slipping in. This bastard knew all too well what he did to him. Revassan melted in his arms as his whimpers were muffled by the invading tongue exploring his mouth.

An unbearable heat began to claim his body, yet he also shivered as he felt the chilly breeze.

All he felt was the body pressing against him and the tongue moving inside his mouth. A hand pressed against his lower back, drawing him closer while the mage ravaged every corner of his mouth, leaving him wanting more.

“Dorian~” his voice got muffled against his devouring lips, and he wasn’t sure if he had spoken or just uttered the altus’s name in his head. It didn’t really matter.

“You’re shivering.” The smug reply indicated that Dorian heard him after all. “And you’re aroused. I know it,” he added, luring a groan out of the elf’s lips as their pelvises touched.

“So are you.” Revassan teased before a rushed breath escaped him when Dorian pushed him further against one of the walls surrounding the gardens.

“I am always excited for you, Amatus,” he whispered against his ear, his tongue darting over the pointed tips and making him moan hoarsely. Revassan tried to hold back, but he couldn’t betray the want in his voice.

Creators, he wanted this man, and he wanted him now.

“We can’t.” The elf tried to protest still, fighting a battle against his wine and lust-filled brain. He wanted to do nothing more but to be ravaged by the tevinter mage, no matter the place or the time.

“I can tell you don’t mean what you say.” Dorian chuckled, his lips still too close to his sensitive ears.

He dragged his tongue all over the tip, causing Revassan’s fingers to curl into his tunic tightly. A strangled moan escaped him as he tilted his head to the side, giving the impossible man more access to his ear and neck.

“I guess I have to make you beg for it then. We both know you will.”

It was both a threat and a promise. Dorian always managed to bring him to that point, and Revassan was sure the Altus would manage this time, too. No matter if they were in the Empress's gardens or not.

A part of him needed to admit that the thought excited him a bit.

“What if someone sees us?” The elf asked, even though the chance added to the thrill. He knew the corner that Dorian was dark enough that no one would see for real, but just the implication of it would serve the nobles enough topics to gossip about.

“Are you truly caring about that?” Dorian’s voice was husky, but Revassan knew he only needed to say the word, and he’d stop.

“I leave that to you to find out.” Revassan teased him, only to moan as quietly as he could when he felt Dorian’s teeth scrapping against the sensitive skin of his ears.

One hand slowly snaked towards his crotch, brushing against his pants innocently enough to play it off accidentally. But he knew it wasn’t. He couldn’t help but press against the hand, secretly yearning for more as the mage’s lips and teeth drove him insane in such a short amount of time.

“Dorian…~” he whimpered as the Altus kissed his way to his earlobe, only to continue at his neck.

His hips couldn’t help but move against the hand, but he was too proud to beg. He wouldn’t give in to Dorian’s demands that quickly, but he also couldn’t help the dizziness rushing through him. It probably was the mixture of the blood flow and the wine.

“I love it when you moan my name like this, Amatus.” The cocky mage whispered against his heated skin.

His lips left marks where they touched him as his hand slowly vanished within the elf’s trousers. They were so close to the goal as they stretched over the smooth skin above his cunt, the touch so very teasing as Revassan wanted nothing more but to be touched.

But Dorian wouldn’t give him what he wanted. Not just like that.

“You’re such a… a prick.” Revassan stuttered out, his brain unable to focus on anything but the heat and the wetness.

“I am, but admit it, You love me for it.” Dorian chuckled against his neck, leaving another mark behind after sucking the sensitive skin. Revassan felt every tooth dragging over his skin and the soft sensation of the mage’s lips as it pressed right against him.

But Dorian was right. He loved this man more than anyone else.

“Dorian…” a moan broke past the elf’s lips again, his hips grinding wantonly against the hand touching anything but his pulsing clit. “Pl… Please.” he gave in and fought his pride, not caring if anyone would see them.

All that he wanted was Dorian.

“I told you. You would eventually start begging.” The altus chuckled just as his hand traveled lover to rub Revassan’s clit. “It’s alright,” he added in a soothing voice as the elf moaned underneath his touch, his fingers curling firmly into his clothes.

“I take care of you,” Dorian promised softly, his hand never stopping its circling motion as it pressed against the elf’s engorged clit.

It drove him insane. The sensation, as much as the knowledge of being handled in the Empresse’s gardens, was too much. He didn’t know what to think since all his thoughts became a heated blur, his hips thrusting into his lover’s hands on their own.

It didn’t matter anymore where they were or what they did. All that mattered was that Revassan was here and the heat rushing through him, wanting more. And what he wanted right now was to find release within his lover’s hands.

“I’m close.” he moaned, his forest green eyes hooded and foggy when he tried to make eye contact.

“Then come for me, Amatus,” Dorian answered, his voice hoarse since he couldn’t hide his own desire. “Come,” he added in a whisper, his lips gently sucking at the tip of Revassan’s pointed ear as his hand kept pressing firmly against his sweet spot.

He didn’t budge when the elf found his release within his hand, hips stuttering as his cunt clenched around nothing.

For a moment, he felt shaky. Only the body of his lover could keep Revassan from falling onto the ground as his heart rate went up. He almost felt like he was bursting, and everything around him was a blur.

But he felt Dorian’s warmth and strength as it held him, the mage’s aftershave so prominent in his nostrils.

Revassan could’ve fallen asleep but forced himself to regain a clear head. No one was around them, just the two of them sharing a heated embrace as the elf slowly came to his senses.

“What about you?” he asked hoarsely as one of his hands softly brushed questionably against Dorian’s bulge.

“How about we join the party for now, and you repay me after we retire to our quarters?” The altus whispered against his ear, cleaning his hand with a handy spell and giving Revassan a moment to make himself decent again.

“You think anyone can lend us any silk shawls?”

some background information

What am I doing? Why, I'm re-watching House, M.D. as a whole-ass pharmacist and taking meticulous notes!

I’m only going to focus on when House, M.D. gets something about medication just wildly wrong. I’m not going to be like “why are the chest compressions so slow” or “would Chase really be inserting that temporary transcutaneous pacer at the beside wouldn’t they want to do that in the EP lab” or anything else along those lines. I am but a humble pharmacist.

Hydrocodone/acetaminophen (APAP), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)

This is going to be interesting because House aired from November 16, 2004 to May 21, 2012 and there are two things that come to mind for me: 1) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asked drug manufacturers to reduce the strength of acetaminophen in combination acetaminophen products to 325 mg in 2011(1) and 2) hydrocodone combination products were still scheduled as schedule III by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).(2) Hydrocodone combination products weren’t rescheduled to schedule II until 2014. Schedule III prescriptions are a lot easier to write and fill than schedule II prescriptions. A lot of the legal nuance varies by state and I am not going to read New Jersey pharmacy statutes, thank you very MUCH I barely passed every Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE) I’ve ever taken. Back to the Vicodin. So how am I going to know exactly what formulation of Vicodin House was consuming?

I really don’t care about the hydrocodone component of it. There is no ceiling to an opioid, it’s whatever the patient can tolerate it. (Well technically there is too much to give but you have to look at if the patient is used to taking opioids or not don’t just slam someone with 10 mg of IV Dilaudid you know what I’m saying.) And if they don’t tolerate it give them some naloxone. And patients with chronic pain can tolerate a lot of opioids. Was Vicodin an appropriate opioid for House? No! But it was less regulated! And the threat of liver failure is dramatic! But Oxycontin would make more sense – Wilson’s an oncologist, he would be prescribing it all the time! Cancer hurts! Antineoplastics hurt! Oxycontin was the most widely abused prescription opioid in the United States in 2004(3), right when House started airing. But no, it’s Vicodin. The writers chose Vicodin for a reason. I’m going to let the art flow over me. We’re sticking with Vicodin. Or, hydrocodone/APAP because Abbott isn’t paying me to do this.

I worked in an independent retail pharmacy my first year of pharmacy school (which was 2010 before I realized I do not have a poker face to deal with the general public and immediately started working in a hospital), and I vaguely remember there being way too many formulations of hydrocodone/APAP. Hydrocodone/APAP has a few brand names: Vicodin, Norco, and Lortab. I usually say Norco because it’s the easiest. (I actually say hydrocodone/acetaminophen because I’m an asshole.) I found this email(4) sent by Abbott in October 2012 that discussed the newly reformulated Vicodin®, Vicodin ES®, and Vicodin HP®, which is handy since it lists the old formulations too:

Vicodin®

Hydrocodone 5 mg/acetaminophen 500 mg

Vicodin ES®

Hydrocodone 7.5 mg/acetaminophen 750 mg

Vicodin HP®

Hydrocodone 10 mg/acetaminophen 660 mg

Who the fuck puts 750 mg of acetaminophen in one tablet? That limits the patient to five tablets in 24 hours. We’ve known the maximum dose of acetaminophen is 4000 mg since the 1970s. What the fuck, Abbott.

(Matthew Mercer Voice) How Do You Want To Do This?

So, like, I guess I’ll just count the tablets I see House consuming and then calculate the total daily dose of acetaminophen for each Vicodin formulation? I feel like I can do total acetaminophen dosage based on episodes versus trying to keep track of the days. The timeline of this show is wonky and like once you hit the toxic dose you’re there so? Also, sometimes he takes more than one and it’s hard to hear the tablets like, clink against his teeth or whatever. Sparkle on! We’ll do our best. I was going to put this in an Excel spreadsheet but I just remembered I am a pharmacist and I cannot function in Excel.

Let’s talk about the mechanism of liver toxicity and treatment of acetaminophen overdose if we hit significant toxicity. Wouldn’t it be funny if we didn’t?? That would result in me rambling about House M.D. for pages and pages and he doesn’t even get hypothetical liver failure. Is this fanfiction? Am I writing really weird fanfiction? Anyways significant toxicity occurs if you hit 150 mg/kg of acetaminophen.(5) How much does Gregory House weigh?? Let’s give him a range: 160-180 pounds (73-82 kg). Fairly average, actually. So House’s toxic dose of acetaminophen is likely 10,950 mg to 12,300 mg. Let’s say lower range is 22 tablets of Vicodin®, 15 tablets of Vicodin ES®, 17 tablets of Vicodin HP® and the upper range is 25 tablets of Vicodin®, 17 tablets of Vicodin ES®, and 19 tablets of Vicodin HP®.

I always feel bad for getting annoyed over BBH backlash, because I just don't know how much of it is irrational. But the hate seems like that as well, it's always over such silly things constantly, and it's blown to ridiculous proportions; it's not a small random chunk of a fandom that everyone has, it's a huge chunk of it. Or at least, the loud minority

i know its happened so often that i cant tell if im make hard leaps? am i too biased? but i swear mcyt fandoms have something against bad. like why did even smptwt hate on him so much ?? and such a large portion too ??

i really do think it is the loud minority though, which is why i try not to get too upset. i just wish they hated him for more valid things LMAO

#ask #neg #i do think i overreact a bit and i try to stop myself from doing so #buuuut sometimes im just not good at it which culminates in a day or two of increased negativity #so please bear with me

♠ Name: Esmée Chiara Floyen

♠ Age: 23 in front of human

♠ Height/weight: 173 cm / 50 kg

♠ Gender: female; she/her

♠ Birthday: January 30th

♠ Race: Pure blood Vampire

♠ History: She is the only daughter of an affluent aristocratic family serving at the royal court. Her ancestors from both sides had undertaken roles of ministries of interior and foreign affairs; the latter role being currently fulfilled by her own father. Her family is closely related by blood to the ruling family. Esmée had a happy childhood despite her twin brother dying in unexplained circumstances, when she was 3 years old. She was brought up as a boy or more exactly as a heir(ess) to her family name. Everything had changed when she was 13 and her mother was killed by the Vampire hunter. Her father remarried when Esmée was 16. His new wife was human and gave birth to a baby boy. Esmée’s stepmother had convinced her husband that her stepdaughter should be married off to the crown prince with the hope that then she’d be able to pass Esmée’s heritage and wealth to her own son. Esmée had tried to convince her father not to follow her stepmother’s wishes, but she had failed. It is not clear, however, if the plans are successful or not since nothing was officially announced.

Esmée accepts the fact that she might have to become the next queen consort, practically an arm candy for the crown prince, but she was not the one to accept it without a fight. Though, there was nothing she could officially do, she decided the best way to avoid the fate was to become the head of her family. She plotted against her stepmother and her father, whom she had learnt to hate. As a result, her stepmother was killed and her father heavily injured; no traces linked the events with Esmée. But her father knew (or more suspected) and sent her away to the human world as a punishment, although officially for training. That still does not stop Esmée to fight for, she believes, is rightfully hers.

♠ Appearance: Esmée is rather high, slim, with porcelain-like skin. She has white hair and red eyes. She would usually have hair down, without many accessories. Her hairstyle and dressing style is rather simple.

♠ Personality: Ever since Esmée was old enough to understand power and politics, they were important parts of her life. Living so close to the royal court and its affair taught Esmée to conceal her feelings, keep things to herself, observe and gather information, and use people around her. She seems friendly and sometimes acts naïve, but she is, indeed, intelligent, proud, determined, manipulative, and often cruel. She has learnt to accept the possibility of becoming the future queen consort and has decided to use her current freedom as much as she can. Before her life ends with the unwanted marriage. She’s also plotting against her father and half-brother (whom she does not recognize as family anymore) to become the owner of her own life again.

♠ FC (temporary)

Iris Lana Almeria from Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter

Another chapter?! So soon?! I’m feeling so very spoiled!

Celebi’s confirmed with Suicune, but who’s going to be hurt enough to need King’s leaf? 😱

I don’t think Floyd knows what to do when he’s not the one doing the flustering.

I think one of my favorite things about your writing so far is the dreamlike vibe of the narration. Like, has Jua fully accepted her new reality, or is she still waiting to wake up? I’m very excited to see where this goes! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! ❤️

/hold your ask gently/

I was planning to save it for later, with more details and more of the plot actually! But life has been quite busy so I decided to post it soon, cause I don't want to make you guys wait foreverrr

About the King's Leaf... /hide my plot/ Let's just say that, it's gonna be a damn train of angst-

XD Floyd is definitely not used to being the one who get teased and flustered haha. That's why his reaction is quite conflict and mixed!

And thank you, thank you so much 😭 Pokemon and TW are all so wonderful, I'm so happy that my story seems to manage to convey that feeling. I'm so glad you enjoy my writing! I will make sure to do my best!

#twisted wonderland #twst x pokemon #pokemon crossover #juanita #everything goes wrong (but it will be fine)#ask #thanks for the ask!#The plot is going to be wild #so please bear with me

Doctor Who spoilers for The Power of the Doctor - probably not in concrete, but definitely implied nevermind

I fully don’t know what I’m going to say about this episode until I write some stuff down. It will be rambley

I got caught up on all of Flux between yesterday and today so nothing has really had time to settle yet, and I imagine my thoughts and feelings will change as I think about stuff more and potentially rewatch (with my copious amounts of freetime /s)

But first off, as an episode, I highly enjoyed The Power of the Doctor. Like, the viewing experience was great, I had a great time watching it - and I can’t say the same for all episodes during 13′s tenure - which is probably why I should rewatch her whole time, because episodes that were meh on first watch might be better on rewatch

I saw a post being disappointed that they spent a year building up Yaz and the Doctor’s relationship and then just. Didn’t mention it. And you know what, I hadn’t thought about it in as many words but yeah, I am annoyed about that. Like, there were times when they could have put it in

It was cool and exciting to see old companions and old doctors - did kind of wonder why that was happening here and now, not that it was bad per se, but it didn’t feel as meaningful as previous times when companions have returned

THAT BEING SAID. I was actually really glad to see the companions making a space to be able to talk about their experiences with the Doctor with other people who understand what it’s like for them to come into your life and then leave and all the stuff that leaves you with. Companions Confidential, as I said to my dad (my dad and I are good at watching TV together because we both like making quips)

overall plot stuff - idk. I’m not sure I fully like. Internalized the plot, things just kind of happened, but I definitely was invested and along for the ride, so it didn’t detract from the experience. Also, I REALLY LIKED YAZ DOING THINGS THOUGH. Like, yeah, she had help from the hologram Doctor, but also she did fully figure out how to fly the TARDIS and I’m so fucking proud of her.

The inclusion of the song. You know the one. 10/10. My dad had never heard it before I showed it to him a few months ago, and that experience came in handy, which I wasn’t specifically expecting at the time, I was just surprised he had never heard it before

Vinder!! - it was cool to see him again, especially since I just binged Flux. Again, it did feel a bit like it just happened for no super big reason, but I’m also not sure I care, the Doctor’s companions teaming up to save the Doctor is excellent, 10/10 would recommend

#caps lock #doctor who #doctor who spoilers #ramble #I'm not used to expressing thoughts about media #so please bear with me #might have more later as things digest #will definitely have something about Flux at some point
