“please… i need you”
❝ begging is for the poor and the weak . for war widows and street urchins . i dare say you’ve never been any of that , yes ? ❞ take his hand , press kiss from fingertip to fingertip . ❝ we know very well you are not weak . ❞
there is something disgusting about being in love . see : dorian’s desperation brings results . zevran crawls above him and grants him a kiss , if nothing else .
zevran is no praying man and dorian pavus is no god . to claim so would be to mock both concepts . but there is something precious in crawling over him , to see the sunlight fall over his face . ❝ with patience like this i must wonder how your studies went . i believe necromancy would take time , dedication . ❞

you left your knives on the bed and i almost sat on the pointy ends so i threw them in a snowbank
❝ i would never do such a thing ! surely you know me better than that , darling . i am known for my orderly actions , and my concern for others . ❞ 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 : antivan working down the mattress , all fox’s smile and snake eyes . lay across mage’s lap with arms twisting out . zevran , in his own mind , sweet as pomegrantes . press kisses against the back of mage’s hand like gifts . ❝ i would be eager to make it up to you , mi amor , should you let me . once you return my knives to me , of course . ❞

how to say : there are a thousand lifetimes where i would have . this is one of them . stability is , in irony , a fragile thing . flowers dying out where they should be blooming / flourishing in the sunlight . they were never such things . dorian pavus reads in a tone like something contently passed , and suddenly the embarrassment washes over him . to think he has thought of this far past when dorian ever has - well , that’s quite unlike zevran , isn’t it ? ❝ if what happened is tevinter coercion , i will sleep with one eye open . not that my idea of persuasiveness has ever been very honorable , mind you . ❞ there is that signature wink . his nails tap against glass , all tension he’s rather not have . ❝ you put me in no position i hadn’t suggested to you in the first place , or wasn’t repeated . the majority of fault would fall upon me , i think . typically i trap my rooms , but the women came and went too often to try . ❞ he is choking on his own lovesickness , stupid as he feels . he feels like he’s standing awe struck in that doorway again , cheek bleeding . ❝ she told you , didn’t she ? she is not the devil she makes herself to be , you see ? but that is not . . . what i was saying . i never would have left you had i the choice . ❞
a laugh , something stable and current running through his veins like live wire , pulling him taut and buzzing . the wink brings forth a blush of familiarity , dappling both the tips of his ears ears and apples of his cheeks cheeks -- he promptly covers it with his titter . ❝ it was rather rude . i thought that i was the one who was supposed to leave before the sun came up . ❞ he bites at his cheek , looking down toward the tiled floor , taking a sip of his own wine only to keep it under his tongue longer than necessary as he stews . ❝ you can stop explaining yourself . really . ❞ within him those little shattered bits whisper darkling efforts , not into deafened ears , but directly into his thoughts . his fears are pebbles to his lies , licking over them like water to shore , a gentle yet scathing bob ( and you did . i am to be tossed aside , used and reused , though i cannot lie and say that i haven’t done the same ) . ❝ it isn’t as if i was more than a conquest . i’m a grown man , zevran , and you don’t need to act like i’m made of glass . i of all people understand that we’ve all made mistakes in youth . you won’t hurt my feelings . ❞

❛ 𝙸 𝚆𝙾𝚄𝙻𝙳 𝙱𝙴 𝙰𝚂𝙺𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙸𝙵 𝙸 𝚆𝙾𝙺𝙴 𝚄𝙿 𝙾𝙽𝙴 𝙳𝙰𝚈 & suddenly i wasn’t a mage . ❜ lips curl / visage changed little , & an eyebrow slightly rose at the inquiry . earlier , he was speaking to leliana of the missing wardens ─ it disturbed him , being commander of the grey . ( & he felt it as well , the false calling . a haunting song that lingered as a vestige in his head , even though he heard it no more . ) following rodric’s arrival , even more interesting people joined , all brought together by a common goal . hands clasped behind his back , his amber - orange gaze focused / unwavering / opaque . ❛ my staff makes it quite obvious , does it ? should i be flinging spells left & right ? ❜ rodric was far from offended by the man’s proclamation . rather , he wanted to know why it was said . perhaps it was genuine worry toward how things were currently progressing ─ toward chaos , or peace ? down an unpredictable road with a thousand paths .
❛ but yes , i am a mage . no doubt a bunch of orlesian nobles are shaking in their doublets . ❜
amber unsteadies him for a moment , unnatural hue equally transfixing and perturbing in a way he can’t help but long to understand : wardens are scourges of the damned and damned themselves to bare the world , floating in steady vitro ( something familiar in his own depths is stirring gently , an affinity for spitting cherry vertebra and running down plush lips like velveteen and blight ) – the concept of fighting for something other than oneself has long been lost to those north of fereldan . it’s sad , to think they once fought together but remain split about petty squabble over a long passed woman . such is life – and death , as it were . he shifts his stance , shoulders squared in a more open gesture . ❝ apologies if that question came off as odd – i haven’t had the chance to meet a southern mage who wasn’t shrivelling away in some tower with their tail tucked between their legs . if you’ve ever heard a lick about tevinter you’d understand why the whole concept is jarring . ❞

❝ i owe her a great deal more than you could ever know . ❞ a breath as he leans back into his seat . ❝ you do not need to ask , and i know you would not have . but it is a reasonable thing to wonder about the one who comes after you . ❞ he taps his finger against his glass , stalling a conversation prompted by no one but himself . he has had the habit of speaking before thinking in things such as this all his life , and one day he’ll learn . ❝ you’d think as an assassin , i would fear death less , no ? it is not true . pardon me for embracing ego so lovingly , mi - ❞ you never called him mi amor before this . why are you having issue not starting ? ❝ - but i have never had to worry about it . i had always had a plan . i could not go off the crow’s course , but someone would want your father dead eventually , yes ? and then i could return . my dear hero had a knife to my throat , and not since i met your father had i been so scared . nor would i have had anyone to mourn for me . save you , had you not learned to hate me like a long list of others just yet . more likely you never would’ve heard of my death . ❞ he clears his throat . the wine is a dry tevinter red , not his taste . perhaps because he is drinking it quick like a rum and not sipping like a fine wine . he hasn’t made eye contact with dorian pavus this entire conversation , and doesn’t intend to start . ❝ what i’m saying is that she has saved me many of my greatest fears . things with her have , in their own way , led me to you . how can i bear ill will toward her with something like that ? ❞ / @clymns .
sometimes when he looks in the mirror there is a not - him staring back . there is kissing , there is pain shooting upward like the rachis of some sort of poison plant , sweet decay and breaking bones between bruised lips , smiles holding blades ‘twixt teeth granting mercy / victory / promises of a better place — and then , it shatters , and the only pain left is in the pieces left behind . and that is what we are , a longing for something more than a reflection : unchangeable , sitting pretty on that throne meant for gods and not salix / diaphanous layers of some once - there labyrinth . the castrum that guards his heart is littered with goldenrod , an imperial tinsel all glitz and glamour without anything left to truly defend it . ❝ you needn’t prove yourself to me . it isn’t as if i blame you . i’m a selfish man , but i’m not cruel . my father can be a ... very convincing man . ❞ and there is terror there , wordless , some unspoken memory that not even he can grasp -- not blades and beatings but something more primal .
❝ i'm only sorry that i put you in that position in the first place . i couldn’t have expected you to stay , no matter how much my youthful idiocy might’ve willed it . ❞ ( she could protect you where i could not ) .

if he kept to his lie , he'd be half drowsy and half metallic , bare legged in something silken , drinking wine from a lavender cup budding with ardency — he’d see stars waltzing ‘cross the sky in distant shouts like lovers , one a deathless god with chapped lips skimming over pulses and the other burnishing a dusty rose and splitting fruit with his thumbs ... two sides of one coin joined with one another , deathless and dying , a carapace unbreaking -- but now , he's standing in the cold with half his pec out , too proud to ask the quartermaster for a coat . damn his pride . ❝ it occurs to me that you're a mage . ❞ there is a vexation held within the weight of his word , though it comes out lighter , almost like a joke ( an issue just as fascinating as it is sad ) .

❛ I’d forgotten the world is full of nasty surprises. ❜
he hadn’t . evidence of his own savagery was left in all the close - stitched patchworks of this endless fight , jagged and falling through chasms and crevices , clutched together not with thread but with a dancing bronzed light . tear it apart , mangle it , defile it — souse it in jessamy and set it aflame . leave it to be sacrificed to the old gods of morass pleasures in exchange for opulence , the asinine putrefaction of one’s own soul . definition of pyrrhic , flowers blooming still - born — these thoughts are anything but cynical . they are truth . the world was changing , for better or for worse , long before corypheus decided to wake up from his beauty sleep , it seems ( though he won’t pretend that his life is filled with any more turmoil than a warden . perhaps he’s only closer to the maddness ) . ❝ to be fair , there seems to be more nasty surprises than usual as of late . ❞

❝ you and me both . ❞ his mind is dream infested , ravaged with something vanilla white and flat whilst the world moves around him . shadows flock to a body stained with bursting red ( my father taught me how to make things grow , to form something from nothing , sparks from hollow and cloud – but i know there is more to me than creation . within me there is ravaging , unmaking , and sometimes , that is enough ) twisting around it , underneath the throne . meanwhile , his voice is a call made into sweet vetiver , searching for meaning in the difference of shine and phantoms , crushed underfoot and bled like slaughter ( there is much you know not of me , and there is much i know not of you . where duality is in my nature , springtide and bursting ‘longside brumal ferocity , there is something within you aching primal . i can relate to that sweet pain forced into veins through careful breeding ‘til obedience becomes second nature . i suppose i was just lucky enough to escape it sooner ) . for a moment , his eyes and hips are heat - softened . he grins . ❝ maybe after a few years of searching we’ll find the lucky bastard – a diamond in the rough , our one true saviour untainted by the poisons of society’s ‘ greatest ’ . i mean , it’s unlikely , but it could happen . for now , we’ll have to settle for corrupt nobles and assassination attempts . i can’t even begin to think of living with something else . ❞
