Would you possibly give us the cliffnotes for what the plan was for the rest of this fic? I've been following early on (like 2015??), it really truly has an important space in my heart. I even have it saved offline in case there was ever a time where it would be removed!! Even if it will never be finished, I still like to re-read it, maladaptive daydream about it, etc. I'd love to know where it would have gone in the end!! Or if you would release any drafts or whatever have you!!

I will write down what I remember! I think I've lost any outlines we had but:

Yes, Alistair was the shitty neighbor the entire time. It was so silly, we were obsessed with it.

After Liv leaves his hospital room, she spends days locked in her house, triggered bc of her parents and just generally shut down.

When she opens her door and sees Alistair standing there, she basically blue screens because he's a) real b) extremely good-looking and c) he's her what? I don't remember much about what comes next but I know they spend a few hours hashing things out, talking, putting together all the context of their friendship (discussing everyone they have in common, lmao).

Liv goes back to running away from her problems, tells him she's had all of her fears about being with him confirmed for her.

Ultimately, he talks her into giving him a chance to at least take her on a date. She walks him to her front door and he asks if he can kiss her. They do, and he's very convincing. :)

They spend a few days(?) flirting through windows at each other. For their date, he sets up a scavenger hunt for her to find the location for the date? And it was going to be so cute, he has her go to Andrastea to find a clue to the next location, which is Druffy's, and so on and so forth, he leaves clues at the places he's recommended to her. The final date I think was going to be at the beach. Liv ultimately realizes that she'd rather be with him and risk losing him than be alone and dreaming of police lights forever. It gets steamy. :)

After that, I mostly remember the two of them doing a tour around to all their friends and giving the update that they're a thing. Happy endings abound!

There was going to be an epilogue where they go on a road trip with Cullen and Lua, and we planned to commission different artists to make polaroids of them having a good time. Thedas Space Program 4 lyfe.

We really were at the finish line, and I'm so sad we didn't get to tell the rest of it. I have some small things like playlists, previously unposted sketches, and snippets that I'll leave in this Google Doc if you still want more. Emrys may have files I don't, so I welcome her to share them if she wants to.

I also welcome anyone who wants to play in the space to go buck wild, and if you do I would love to see them if you message me @bucket-fucker. I'm replaying Liv's canon as we speak, and I hope to write her again, I still had much more to say!

Thank you all for showing interest in my lil OC. And thank you for still caring. It's been a blast, and I appreciate you all.

Hello!

Just wondering if there is any hope of this fiction being continued? I've ready approximately 13 times and just craving more. 😅

So I guess this is probably overdue, but I haven't known how to address it until now.

Unfortunately, we (the co-writers) ended our relationship a few years ago, and since this fic was a collaboration of writing and of OCs, there's really no way to continue it with the way things turned out.

It took me a long time to accept the death of the fic, it feels like the death of a child. But for the forseeable future, I don't see a way forward.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us all this time. Your comments and messages have been really lovely to see all these years, and maybe you'll see more writing out of us individually in the future.

I for one still have lots of ideas! ;)

Take care everyone, and here's to DA4 in the fall. <3

To be completely honest, Alistair and Olivia Cousland cause me great bisexual panic.

[h-eefic]

I hope youre all ok!! This fic is my comfort fic. I've read it so many times. Would love 1 more chapter of in person interactions now theyve finally met.

Thank you for checking! We're doing well, we've just had some life stuff get in the way. But I'm working on outlines and planning for the next chapter! We are DETERMINED to finish this fic, so don't fret! We have 8 more chapters to write and no matter how long it takes we will write them.

Thank you for calling it your comfort fic, that is SO sweet. It's my comfort fic too ;)

Holy shit this fic is so fucking good. I hope the authors are alright, because it's been a long time since the last update. But holy fuck, it's so so so good.

rising from the grave to answer this ask to say that I have been reinfected with the Heart-Eyes Emoji brainrot and I am rereading the fic right now so that I can HOPEFULLY update sometime in the next few weeks.

I've missed interacting with you all so much and the positivity that writing this fic brought into my life, so I am determined to thank you all for your kind words during this looooooooooong hiatus by..... ending the hiatus lmao.

Lots of Love!!! -A.

Some Liv and Alistair to tide you over while you wait for the next chapter.

A birthday gift from the incredible @artbyalliward to inspire me to write!

[h-eefic]

I hope you’ll all join me in wishing Emrys @emryss aka tijgertje a very happy birthday today! (I’ve included a picture of her cat, Prince, as she doesn’t like having her picture taken.)

She is so much of the heart and soul behind this fic, I’m blessed to have such a wonderful writing partner (and life partner).

Happy birthday, Em! 😍

i WAS RIGHT I KNEW HE WAS HER NEIGHBOR EVER SINCE HE TURNED ON THE MUSIC AND WAS WORKING ON HIS MOTORCYCLE. also I am yelling at you even though it was amazing

Yesss!! I’m glad someone picked up on that!

Admittedly most of the “clues” were probably too subtle, but I’m so happy to know that that one was noticed! :D 💖

Heart-Eyes Emoji Chapter 19: Interlude is up!

In which there is Dorian, there is Luana, and there is Cullen. There is coping, but for others, not so much.

(update/chapter art by @artbyalliward!)

Heart-Eyes Emoji AU where there is slightly less angst and slightly more tea-drinking (ya know, because Andrastea didn’t work out, so how about a cup with royaltea (in the hospital cafeteria because ouch)?)

anyway go read heart-eyes emoji (@h-eefic) , if you’re ever played a single (1) dragon age game (or even if you haven’t). It’s tearrific!

“Cullen Stanton Rutherford.” Alistair holds his forehead in one hand, “You manage to be embarrassing in less than 140 characters, I’m impressed.”


In other news Heart-Eyes Emoji by @h-eefic is still bomb 😎 check it out if you feel so inclined 💖

I've literally been checking this fic every 2 days for a year and nearly screamed when I saw it had finally updated omg... now to wait until the 21st 😭

Chapter 18

Hi friends!

I know we mentioned this in the new chapter, but I just wanted to assure everyone that chapter 18 is finished and you won’t have to wait in suspense for too long. We wanted to make sure to finish 18 before posting 17 to make up for the fact that a year long hiatus ended with another cliffhanger.

So we will be dropping Chapter 18 on Saturday, September 21st, at 4:00p UTC (9:00a PST). Thanks for sticking with us! We still have 8 chapters to go!
