Been working on this for so long I need to post a WIP or I will loose the rest of will to continiue. My three beloved Ferelden gals just being pals and totally not controling half the world.

Also I am forever salty that Dragon Age didn't let my Aeducan officially marry Anora. But in my headcanons noone can stop me - I shall create a polycule that is also any Orleasian's worst political nightmare,

I took inspiration from here while drawing the Leliana outfit.

Anne's Dragon Age Femslash!

Happy Femslash February! Have a list of all the F/F fics I've written for Dragon Age so far. Listed from shortest to longest. Ratings are noted here; please check AO3 tags for full list of warnings/content notes.

Herald's Rest. Female Trevelyan/Sera, 370 words, rated M. The Inquisitor finds a respite.

In Darkness Enveloped. Cassandra/Leliana, 1800 words, rated E. The Conclave is destroyed. The Divine is dead. The Left Hand and Right Hand are at odds, and at loose ends. It's the worst of times. It's certainly the worst possible time for this.

What We Can Do Together. Shianni/Briala, 2000 words, rated T. Briala has never called her away from Denerim before, so Shianni can only assume this is important.

Gifts of the Hunt. Female Mahariel/Morrigan, 13000 words, rated M. Lyna Mahariel follows Morrigan through the eluvian, leaving behind her life with the Wardens and with her Dalish clan. With only each other, Morrigan's child, and the magic of a long-forgotten past, what kind of future will the two of them have together?

No Woman Rules Alone. Anora Mac Tir/Female Tabris, 34000 words, rated E. Warden Tabris convinced Anora and Alistair to marry for the good of Ferelden, to unite the lands against the darkspawn. They have settled into a functional partnership and even friendship, but there is no love between them and they both know it. Over time, Anora finds that it is the Warden-Commander and Arl of Amaranthine who has won not only her respect, but her heart.

writing prompt: A plaque denoting the Hero of Ferelden’s birthplace

Happy Friday! for @dadrunkwriting

Anora wouldn’t shut up.  Wouldn't stop blathering on about Alistair this, Alistair that, like she hadn't been ready to throw him to the wolves just weeks ago.

Tabris sat straight-backed in her chair, dry-eyed and stone-faced.  These shem wouldn't see her cry.

When she finally wound down, the grand cleric nodded at two servants.  Elves, Ris noted bitterly.

"We send you to the Maker's side."  At her words, the pyre was lit.  They had to treat bodies with something to make them so . . .combustible.  Alistair's body caught instantly, and the smoke stung her eyes.

The rest of the mourners started filing out of the courtyard, but she stayed put, hoping the attendants would leave too, just so she could have a moment alone with him once more.

"Warden Tabris."  The queen was approaching.

She didn't move to stand.  Didn’t even flick an ear.  

Anora smiled thinly.  "I know you and my husband's brother were . . .close."

Fuck you.  Ris just nodded.  She might have power now, but it wouldn't last, even if she had put this bitch on the throne.  "And?"

"Is there anything he'd want?"

To be alive.  She shook her head.  "Nothing you can give."  It wasn't a politically savvy answer and she didn't care.

Anora sniffed delicately.  "I know what it's like to -"

"Go away, your majesty."  She pointedly turned back to the pyre.  Alistair was already ash and she'd never been able to say goodbye.

She didn't go away, but she did finally stop talking.  Ris ignored her as she watched the ash blow away.  Her eyes burned with tears, but she wouldn't cry.  Not in front of her of all people.

Only when the fire died down and the last few attendants started to sweep up what was left of him did she stand, still not acknowledging Anora.  The bitch followed her as she walked out.  "Warden, would you walk with me?"

She bit back the Do I have a choice? and just nodded again.

Ris followed her through the winding corridors of the palace.  Anora collected a few more guards as they continued out the front gates.  They headed toward the alienage.  Years of practice kept her face neutral, but nothing about this felt right.  What is she playing at?

The vhenadahl looked the same: sickly, but trying.  Just like the alienage itself.  Shianni was talking with Alarith nearby, and headed toward her as they approached.

"Your majesty," she said, nodding respectfully, before falling in next to Ris.  "I told them not to," she muttered, so softly only an elf could hear it.

Before Ris could ask what Shianni meant, Anora clapped her hands.  There was a sudden cacophony of trumpets, and only Shianni's hand on her elbow stopped Ris from drawing her blades and falling into a defensive crouch.

"We've gathered here to honor one of our own: an elf from Denerim, who saved us all!  The greatest elf since Garahel"  Anora'a voice was resplendent and insincere.  A politician's voice.  "She saved us from certain doom, stopped the Blight in barely a year!  How should we thank her?"

Leave me alone, Ris wanted to scream.  Wanted to, but didn't.  Not when confronted by all that fucking hope on the faces of the gathered onlookers.  This was what heroes did, she supposed.  Fought and died by inches, giving others a chance to keep going.  She didn't even recoil when Anora grabbed her hand and hoisted it to the sky.  "Behold, our Hero of Fereldan!"

The crowd cheered.

She held her tongue and smiled.  Anora nodded at her, like she could see through it, like she knew Ris was fantasizing about cutting her throat.  "We'll build you a statue later, but this is all we can do for the moment."  She let go of Ris' hand and pointed at the vhenadahl.

Ris followed her gesture with her eyes, despair turning into horror.

It was a gold plaque.  Nailed to the tree.

Birthplace of Kallian Tabris, Hero of Ferelden, 9:10.

They'd poisoned the only thing that mattered in the alienage to honor her.  Her gaze swung to Shianni, begging her mutely to tell her this wasn’t happening.  Her cousin only shrugged, then low under her breath, mumbled, "Fucking shem."

Fucking shem indeed.  To the void with appearances.  Ris fled.

I received two extremely delightful gifts in the The Black Emporium exchange for Dragon Age rarepairs, and they have just tossed me right back into the depths of my Mac Tir feelings!

So Tangled Up Its Hard to Know (Loghain/Female Cousland) Set during the Inquisition era! I just love the intimacy of two old comrades reconnecting and it leading into something more 💖

open your heart like the gates of hell (Anora/Morrigan) Morrigan and Kieran end up living at the royal palace after Morrigan becomes Anora’s arcane advisor, and there is PINING and COMPLICATIONS in regards to Kieran’s parentage 👁

Looking forward to reading more of the collection and collating more recs over this coming weekend!

Listen Before I Go

"It was a love match, you know."

Sereda hesitated as she snatched the handle to Anora's temporary chambers. She'd heard enough of the woman's insistence on being queen, especially her implications with regard to Alistair.

"...What are you talking about?" Sereda asked, humoring her. It had been years since she'd spoken of Cailan, and her last meeting with him was bittersweet, just before his death.

Anora casually ran her fingers along the wood of her sleighbed as she spoke, knowing she'd struck a chord. It was unnerving how well Anora sensed it. "Don't insult my intelligence, Lady Cousland. You know full well as to what I am referring," she said.

She dropped her hand, defeated. All Sereda knew about Cailian ending their brief courtship was his 'duty to the throne'; after his father went missing, and marrying Anora as a result. He never fully explained why, just that he was to do as he was bid - and nothing more. It vexed her for years until she was able to push it into the deep recesses of her heart.

And now the woman who claimed him had the audacity to mention him.

"...Fine, I'll bite," Sereda said softly, still avoiding the woman's hard gaze. Yet, she continued to speak so casually of Cailian, the man she had wed, her dead husband.

"I found him, once..." Anora paused, as if considering her next words. Unbeknownst to Sereda, she was opening her own wounds. Perhaps, she hoped, if she reached out to the Warden, heart to heart, woman to woman, she could convince her that she would be the proper ruler that Ferelden needed, and not the bastard that she was so utterly in love with.

Oh, the irony of it all.

"He was asleep in our bed, from a night of drinking," she scoffed bitterly. "It was supposed to be a night of celebration. I was pregnant, with his first child. He was so happy. The kingdom, was happy..."

Sereda recalled the gossip and rumors, the stories from her mother and father of the announcement. She still remembered how bitter she felt, but did her damnedest to ignore it all the same. Sereda fought to urge to ask her to get to the point.

"He fell asleep, with some missive in his hand, close to his chest. I thought he was in the middle of some last-minute paperwork, some notice. My curiosity got the better of me," Anora had been slowly pacing about the room, consoling her own growing anxiety from the memory.

"It was one of your many letters, from what I learned later on. I knew you both had corresponded in the past, that he once courted you. I accepted that. 'Twas the nature of men and their politics," she paused, her tone changing into something soft; vulnerable.

"But, this letter... it was different. It was worn, unlike the others. As if he'd read it on many ocassion. I knew I'd regret reading it, but I did it anyway. I... I had to know. I had to know what you had that I didn't..."

the thing abt rowena and alistair that kills me is how her making him king is (in her head) an act of love in the same way her parents sending her with duncan against her will was

#forcing fate on another bc it’s your only means of protecting them #dooming them to a life they never wanted but at least they’ll live a few years long #*longer #in her head there isn’t even a choice and that is fucked up!! of course there’s a choice!! his choice!! #bc in her head as long as he is alive he’s a threat to the crown and people will never leave him be #and she can’t trust anora because anora is too much like her and she’s already been wounded by the people in power #too much to trust anyone other than herself #so she makes him king and promises she’ll carry all of the burden and he relents only because he loves her #it’s so messed up !! tbqh !! warden alistair is the ideal to me #but it’s just not something rowena would do #there’s commentary about how a deeply traumatized TWENTY YEAR OLD should not be the one deciding the fate of a country #too much power in the hands of a girl so angered at those whose actions put her there #idk why i’m rambling i just. that decision is awful yet so complex. there’s so much going on there and so much that intersects !! #her and alistair her and anora her and eamon and loghain and howe….. #i know ppl hate when alistair isn’t a warden and especially when he’s still softened while made king it’s just !! it’s abt The Narrative 😔 #and they end up okay. they do. they’re okay. he doesn’t hate her for it. they love each other Too Much. it’s just !! u know !! a flaw !! #anyways.txt #ch: rowena cousland #x: a soft epilogue

OC master post: Heather Cousland

(left piece by @/savnanigans, right piece by @/lilithkb)

Basic info:

Dual-wielding rogue fond of poisons and stealth; taught the bow from a young age but prefers daggers

She/her pronouns, biromantic, bisexual

25 years old when the Fifth Blight began; younger twin sister of Fergus Cousland

Extremely close with her immediate family

Has a short-lived fling with Nathaniel Howe as a teenager

Falls for Anora in her late teens; their eventual relationship remains clandestine because Anora is betrothed to and later marries Cailan

Is absolutely devastated by her parents' deaths, as well as that of her sister-in-law and nephew, at the hand of Rendon Howe

She barely escapes with her life and eventually operates in the shadows during the Blight to wage her own war against Howe (and support the Warden from a distance), becoming Denerim's Dark Wolf

Continues to serve Ferelden even after Anora ends their relationship in 9:33 Dragon

Ends up in a throuple with Nathaniel Howe and Neri Surana at Vigil's Keep for a time in the mid 9:30s (but it's complicated)

Ultimate endgame ship is with Anora because I need that (yes it will be messy but WHO CARES~ they'll figure it out somehow)
