WiP Wednesday
Me? Writing Dragon Age fanfic again? More likely than you think. I was thinking about some old ideas the other day, went perusing through the document where I have a partially written long fic, and now I've been pulled in. Technically, this little snippet was written in 2017 (?) but I've never shared it. Cora as a companion in Inquisition has been one of my fave things for her, and I'm actually really excited about writing right now??
Anyways, here's wonderwall the snippet:
“Yes,” Cora straightened a little, more sure about her answer this time than she was talking about her past. “I’ve worked with many different companies over the last few years. I’m on good terms and have people with ears to the ground who I can call upon. It’s not massive but every little bit should count, yeah?” She paused, adding quickly, “Also, please, I’m not a Lady. Cora will suit me just fine.”
“But as a Trevelyan,” Leliana spoke up for the first time in this meeting, arms folded over her chest, “you are part of a rather large noble family that is well-known in the Free Marches. Why insist on ignoring your title?”
Cora considered her words, waiting a moment as she slurped her coffee deliberately in a plea to give herself a moment longer. “As I’m sure your connections will tell you, my family and I haven’t been on speaking terms for the last eight years. I’m not certain but I’m pretty sure I was disowned. I haven’t lived as a noble for years so I prefer not to be called a Lady when I haven’t been one.”
“I see,” Josephine was diplomatic in her own reaction, though Cora wasn’t surprised. “I’m sure we can come to some sort of arrangement. I do not think we will turn away any help.” There was a brief exchange between the two women behind the desk: a pointed look from Josephine and a small sigh from Leliana before they both turned back to Cora.
Leliana straightened a little, nodding stiffly, her lips curving only slightly into a very thin smile. “No, I suppose we won’t turn down your contacts, if you can reach them. I won’t say no to expanding our network, Agent Trevelyan.”

if they’re allowed to keep republishing the same booktok romances with different coloured clipart then everybody should be allowed to do magic school without being compared to h*rry p*tter. actually i think every queer writer should write magic school at least once just out of spite. take her out by numbers alone

also look man. joel has reminded me of my stupid little blorbo the mezalean king now. i am once again spinning. he was such a WEIRD little guy who's whole personality was "loves his wife", "also loves jimmy", "cool palace", "kill horse", "magic isn't real", and "weirdly feral energy". and then he DIED OF SADNESS. after almost swearing to end his final episode. WHAT A MAN. MISS THAT WEIRD LITTLE THING.
