bestie can we get some Nathaniel Howe for the DA art? 🥺

Of course bestie here he is

[catsharky]

i wanted to let you know that you've irrevocably changed my vocabulary so that mentally, i can only think of them as "popsackle" now 💕

Ahaha you've fallen to the same curse I have!

I can't take the credit for the spelling, unfortunately (I wish I was that brilliant). It's from this tweet from 2015 that was a popular meme for a while:

It did the same thing to me and I've been unable to pronounce it properly ever since 😞

Thanks @freesidexjunkie! I have only four works up on AO3 but I have more than a few WIPs so I'll choose one of those for the 5th. I'm terrible at explaining my thoughts behind stories. I just sort of write them? Here is my attempt at explaining them.

1. In Consultation With Spirits - At the start of All New Faded for Her, you can have a dialogue with Solas where he admits to having no friends. That set me to wondering where a man like him would go if he needed relationship advice. The Fade. I didn't think he would always seek those spirits out. Sometimes they would find him. I paired each stage of the romance with the spirit I felt he would most likely meet- Wisdom, Love and Regret.

2. And Yet - I've always had a soft spot for this piece. I wanted to write something from Solas' point of view reflecting on his guilt for getting involved with Lavellan and hurting her. I wanted it to be lyrical and dreamy like Solas, which is why the refrain "and yet" keeps popping up.

3. Cold Comfort - This story has gone through many iterations. It is also my first attempt at adding smut to a story. Whether or not the Inquisitor and Solas had sex was left open. I've always wondered what might cause Solas to cross that line. In his romance scenes he always seems to get himself under control before things can go too far. So, I felt it would have to be a very conscious decision on his part. I also liked the idea that Solas would be a very tender lover. This was what I came up with.

4. An Elf Walks Into a Tavern - Part 1 of Where Wolves Fear to Prey. I was fascinated by the idea of Theneras and Varric getting together to trash their exes. When it came to writing it though, I realized that Theneras' confused feelings about Solas would make her less likely to want to talk about him. The entire conversation between Varric and Theneras then became more about her avoiding the fact that she is still in love with Solas and not being very successful at it.

When Lovers Call in Dreams - This is a WIP. The third installment in my Where Wolves Fear to Prey series. It is post-Trespasser. In it my Lavellan, Theneras, confronts Solas in the Fade after an attempt on her life. I want to explore the jumbled feelings the pair have for each other and how those feelings might affect their actions going forward.

WIP tag game

Thank you @freesidexjunkie for tagging me. This came at just the right time--I have JUST the little tidbit to share with everyone. Tagging @el-tur-el, @lostinforestbound, @darkurgetrash, and @commander-krios. No pressure at all to respond to the tag, but you're always welcome! :)

SO HERE IS A LITTLE SOMETHING SOMETHING FROM CHAPTER 10. It's a lil spicy:

Warning ahead--this isn't edited. So it might be rough.

“Gods, damn it all!” Tav hissed. She stood in the dead center of her room, fighting to untie the laces running down her back.

She had noticed a knot, a small, hardly noticeable thing, as she dressed for her performance earlier that day. She hadn’t thought it would make it next to impossible to remove the damn thing.

She pushed a hand through her hair. She could always go to dinner like this and say that she had gotten distracted by something or another beforehand.

“Tav? Are you almost ready?” Rolan wrapped on her bedroom door. 

“No,” she said with a sigh.

“May I come in?”

She pulled the door open for him.

“There’s a knot in the lacing,” she said. “I can’t even loosen the blasted thing.” She tried to gesture at the lacework running down her back, though she didn’t know how much good she was doing when she could only vaguely motion to the problem. “Could you… help me with this?”

Rolan stiffened. “Are you—” He cleared his throat. “But of course. Turn around.”

“If you’re not comfortable with this—”

“It’s fine,” he said. “Turn around.”

Tav did so. She faced her desk, where the small vanity mirror reflected the two of them. Rolan tested the laces, plucking and tugging until he found enough give to work with. His face was flushed a wine-dark red, and he kept his focus trained on the back of her bodice.

“Perhaps it’s time to look into different outfits for the performances,” he said.

He tugged Tav back into him when he pulled on the lacing a bit too roughly. 

And in the mirror, Tav watched Rolan’s gaze slide to the swell of her breasts—quickly, before he forced himself to resume.

After ten minutes of toiling, the knot was undone, and her bodice loosened. She caught the front of her dress as the fabric began to peel away, revealing the shading of her nipples. The cold air hit her exposed back.

“I’ll… let you take care of the rest,” Rolan said. In the mirror, she saw him avert his gaze.

“You know…” Tav said slowly. “I wouldn’t mind your help undressing the rest of the way.”

He lurched to a halt, his shoulder jarring into the doorframe. “Don’t be silly, you can manage that much on your—”

Realization hit him like a lightning bolt.

“Oh… Oh.”

She bit back a laugh. True, she hadn’t even kissed his lips yet, but she wasn’t opposed to their first kiss being in the throes of passion.

Uncertain, Rolan came to stand behind her. He resumed unlacing her bodice, his fingers gentle, precise… and shaking.

“Rolan, you don’t have to—” Her sentence melted into a moan when he pressed his lips into the slope of her neck. His chuckle, muffled against her skin, coiled beneath her naval and drew a blush to her upper chest and neck.

His hands drifted down to her skirt fabric, balling it up in two fists at her waist. He dragged her against him, the texture of his robe dragging over her bare back. His cock was hard, pressing into her ass.

She couldn't resist. She rolled into him, and he shuddered around her.

Despite the fact that they agreed to give Solas his space, they did not give her the same—Adan and Elan both followed her as she made her way towards her own room, finally having to firmly excuse herself before closing the door on them.

For those of you who were interested in my nap dream: @kaldurcalm @kiwimeringue @freesidexjunkie

cw: gender swap, masturbation, sex pollen trope, bodily fluids, dry humping

It was a mixture of BG3 and Final Fantasy lore.

During a fight with a Malboro, I got hit with a nasty status ailment that turned me into the opposite sex. It was also imbued with incubus spittle, which I hadn’t discovered until much later.

We finally killed the Malboro, but we were a little worse for wear at the end of our fight.

Back at camp, once the sun set, I gradually started to feel the effects of the incubus spittle. Gale couldn’t give me a solid answer on when the effects of either spell would wear off, only able to mend my surface wounds. So, I had to wait it out, hoping my ailment would end with the sunrise.

Back in my tent, I couldn’t contain myself.

Sleep eluded me. I tossed and turned on my bedroll, sweating and cramping, burning hot and mumbling obscenities. I finally tore into my pants to try to end my suffering. However, I didn’t know how to pleasure myself given my new set of…tools. So I fumbled about, rutting into my fist until I fitfully came with thick globs of sweltering, gooey cum.

But no matter how much I teased and stroked myself, it wasn’t enough. It was never enough. I was crying; it hurt so bad.

I was so wrapped up in getting off I hadn’t noticed the nighttime visitor slinking into my tent.

I jolted when I heard him tut, and I quickly tried to cover myself. Like I wasn’t drenched in sweat, my pants weren’t mottled with cum, and my tent didn’t smell like sex. It was written all over my face, for fuck’s sake.

However, Astarion looked down at me with pity and mischief as he crawled over to me. He softly chided me when he peeled the blankets away, revealing my sticky, throbbing cock. I felt exposed. Embarrassed. But the lustful glimmer in his eye had me throwing all caution to the wind.

What better person to help me navigate through this situation than the sex god himself?

“It’s no wonder you can’t get off,” Astarion crooned, running a slender finger up the span of my cock. He smirked with delight when I squirmed under his artful ministrations. “You’re doing it all wrong.”

He proceeded to show me in a torturously slow manner the proper way to jack off. Sat me between his legs with my back to his chest, teaching me how to shift pacing and firmness with his hand clasped over mine, guiding me from base to head. He cooed vulgar and encouraging things into my ear as he drove me to another orgasm. And there was so much cum, it plopped soundly on the ground around us.

“I’ve always wanted to touch you like this. Never had the courage to. But look at you now. You need me, don’t you? You filthy little thing, you. Gods, what would you do without me?”

At some point, I felt a wet patch on my back from him having leaked pre-spend in his pants throughout our little tryst. As he guided me towards another orgasm, he rolled his hips against mine, and he came in his pants with a groan trapped in his throat as I painted our wrists with hot spurts of cum again.

Title: Your Ruination Author: @wolfywolfy Rating: E Length: 58K Complete or WIP?: WIP Pairings: Astarion x f!tav Warnings: smutty things, violence/gore, mentions of abuse/trauma

Excerpt: 

“Maybe,” she said eventually, holding her smile tight. “If you say ‘please’.”

“What?” Astarion said, taken aback. Not unpleasantly, of course, this was a wonderful development in his book – but he had never seen this coming from the druid. She was all sunshine and daisies, kittens and rainbows! But the way she looked at him now… It reminded him of his own bloodlust.

“Say ‘please’,” she repeated.

Well, well, well… this was a welcome surprise. He was impressed. Astarion immediately relaxed, finding the flow of their conversation suddenly riveting. He really had judged her too hastily.

“Please,” he said, smooth as velvet. The word came so easily that he almost wondered if it was natural. Almost.

Prim grinned fully now, shockingly wolfish. How had he never noticed that look before?

“Good boy,” she praised while miming a pat on the top of his head (the irony was not lost to him). “I’ll meet you later tonight in the forest, after everyone goes to sleep.”

Why you love it: 

This one is a really good take on seducing and accidentally falling for Tav from Astarion's POV!! The pacing feels just right, she has a great understanding of Astarion's complicated characterization, and the MC is super interesting!!
