In the whole Solavellan romance. Solas was selfish in it. He wants to feel love, to feel care for-and at that point, it had been many years since he felt actually seen by someone. This could also work with high approval friendship bc I think the friendship is very important as well-and thr concept of being seen, being respected and that emotional connection-warmth is just very important to Solas. Solas, despite how he may try to portray himself, is a deeply emotional person.
That's why he falls in love with the Inquisitor, not just romantically.
In this essay, I will-

A banter between Cole and Solas, set in the aftermath of this conversation with Inquisitor Adaar.
Cole: Solas, you aren't still any more. Something has happened.
Solas: You've no need to trouble yourself. It is not a matter of any real importance.
Cole: That's not true... The surface shudders, shifting, silence shattered with a single look. You thought it would be softer, but it wasn't. You want to know why. I could tell you, if you like. That part is easy to hear.
Solas: I would ask for your discretion in this, Cole.
Cole: Still different, still dangerous. He sees a beast who dons their own collar, making decorations of their chains. Hurt flashes, furious and fast before they catch, too late. The wariness he wears is salt in old wounds, worn raw in carelessness.
Cole: You said she was more than you expected. She didn't think she had to prove that again. Not with you.
Solas: Ah. I... I see. Thank you. I've much to think on, it seems.
Cole: She doesn't want to be different. She just wants to be her.

Re: rarepair Hell. I would like to know how many pits we mutually occupy, so. Could I get a list of like, idk, your top ten (based in enjoyment level) rarepairs? And/or headcanons but I would prefer "and".
okay i'll assume you mean dragon age specifically MFDSKJFSDKJF but okay, i'll list some!!!!
the obvious ones:
fenders (fenris x anders) : i love a good narrative foil
zevistair (zevran x alistair) : idk if this counts as a rarepair but!!! their canon flirting banters always make me go sooo insane. that you can include zevran in the foursome w alistair if alistair is hardened (lol) makes me INSANE. they are basically canon aND YET!!!!!!
warden x loghain : ive written so much abt them already. you get the idea
nanders (nathaniel x anders)
the less obvious ones:
anders/merrill (bonus: anders/merrill/isabela): for all the same reasons i ship fenders (which i would argue is still relatively a popular pair, so not quite rarepair??); they're such good mirrors, they're both encapsulate what the other fears. anders being 100% okay to hurt people despite being a healer vs merrill being a blood mage who has never wanted to hurt anyone is just *chef kiss*. you can take a look at this for more compelling reasons to ship them.
fenris/merrill: for all the same reasons as above. i think if u dont ship each individual LI of the kirkwall polycule w each other, u shouldnt say u ship the kirkwall polycule.
solavelyan / soladaar / soladash / solas x non-lavellan inqs: i still think it should've been a romance option for all inqs tho i suppose they didn't really have the time to develop a non-lavellan route for them, but i love thinking about it, and i love the vibes for it so much. again, i love narrative foils, and i think it's so natural to be drawn to someone who could understand you like that.
alistair x bethany: a not-templar and a not-circle mage, in the wardens together. i think they'd really like each other and have a very interesting kind of energy!!! they've both got these secret bitter/spiteful sides to them, there's a lot of parallels (like alistair thinking warden conscription is a good thing bc it was for him and bethany having v different emotions abt being a warden in general). i've also really enjoyed most of the fics i've read for them.
nathaniel x f!cousland: UNFORTUNATELY THOUGH i dont think i've been able to find the kind of fic i want for them in the tag. i've got too many wips as it is, but maybe one day i'll write the nathaniel/f!cousland fic of my dreams...
nathaniel x anora: this one is admittedly @rosella-writes' fault, but they've got me by the THROAT as a concept
m!hawke/cullen: LIKE ESPECIALLY IF IT'S ONE-SIDED FOR CULLEN it's something that can be SO fascinating to explore (esp in an amell worldstate). [shaking cullen] babygirl what is WRONG with you!!!!!!!
m!hawke/sebastian: sebastian grappling with his admiration for hawke vs his chantry vows but THIS TIME make it mlm..... i think this is probably baby vee coming through w how hard i used to ship d/estiel in the early 00's LMAO. fsr they hit the same beats in my skull.
morrigan/leliana: noooo girlies don't fight haha <3 they should dump the warden and kiss instead <3
josephine/the iron bull: i read a few fics for them that admittedly captured my interest. i think their dynamic is something that could really be interesting to delve into for so many reasons. i've read the evidence and i find it compelling enough to put on this list

savraas is extremely happy with his little romance with the iron bull but there’s always going to be a little piece of my heart that explodes about soladaar

some sketches i made while working on a matter of love
soul names (love and death names, in the case of this fic) are honestly a narrative goldmine, like is it fate? is it yourself? are you being controlled, and if so, are you gonna let it? stack a pile of cultural pressures about soulnames on top and off you go :D

Savagery
It truly is a beautiful place. The falls alone would make it a worthy spot to admire, its rushing waters carrying on a hum that pulls at a rhythm beyond music. With the high, natural walls of stone, lush greenery and twinned elk statues sat in their elegant vigil made addition, Kai might go so far as to call the whole of it bucolic. And the sight of it now, draped in soft, dappled moonlight, makes her sick.
She cannot wait here like this much longer, the venom buried in her chest long since spread through the rest of her body. The silence only makes the burn that much worse, every bite of teeth against her tongue or nails into the palms of her hands buying her ever less time. Another moment. Then another moment more. Each one of them are as wretched as they are precious, every second she keeps her hold another footfall drawing Solas further away.
There are thorns buried in her throat, wrapped about it on their vines pulling tighter with every thin breath she takes. Her eyes burn, hot and bitter as the tear tracks scalded down the curves of her face. He will not see this. She was a fool, a simpering idiot caught up in fancies meant to stay in the pages of the twice cursed books from whence they came. But for all her missteps and wishful thinking he was the one who guided her through them, and he will not see this.
The levy in her chest breaks, splintering into a thousand pieces. Solas had been right about one thing - the Veil is thin in this beautiful, terrible place. She has no more than twitched a finger for her magic than it is there, sizzling along her skin with all the roiling black anger of a summer storm. For once she does not hold it back, giving in to the gale tearing through her, screaming in her blood. There is no longer the sound of gentle waters in her ears, no hush of verdure and ancient peace. The winds are in her, surround her to tear at cloak and robe and the shards of a bared heart left at her feet.
Light flashes, great, violent arcs of lightning thrown out in a careless snap of her arm while thunder roars over the sound of her wailing. They crack against the stonework, broken rock sent crashing into the tranquil surface of the pond while their mossy cover smoulders into blackened husks. Another bolt leaps free, connecting with the front half of one of the elk, it's regal crown of antlers reduced to splinters as its torso cracks away from the whole and topples forward to the ground.
Good, a voice snarls in her ear as she watches the statue's head snap free and roll off into the churning depth of the pool. Let it crumble away. Let this whole place match the ugliness seeded here tonight.
Besides. If the world - if he - wishes to see her as no more than a beast, it is only right she be allowed this taste of savagery.
