selfprove, arthur pendragon.
❛ 𝒏𝒐𝒐𝒓𝒂 . . . ❜ she slips from his grasp but , despite his injuries , his hands easily wrap around her wrists again. this time , he tugs a little harder , pulling her up for their eyes to be level , her hands far away from his wound. he feels a small amount of blood pool around the newly cut up skin on his thighs but he doesn’t care ⸺ he’s survived this far , he won’t collapse now. ❛ 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 . there’s no cause less worthy than me to strain yourself for . i’m not about to die . if i was , i would’ve done so already . ❜ gently , he lets his arm wrap around her waist to keep her in place , right there between his legs and against his chest. if he were to die , 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑜 𝑐𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑖𝑚 ?
❛ i don’t want you straining yourself like that . these injuries are minor ⸺ i can clean myself up with a cloth then bandage myself after my bath . ❜ he’s unsure how strong she is. she looks mostly healed , acted like it too but he’d been there while she was comatose. he’d seen just how affected she’d been by her fight with the arishok and he knew from experience , no matter how much you 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒅 , you don’t just heal so easily from such a state ⸺ even when you look like you’ve entirely recovered , 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝑤𝑎𝑦 𝑏𝑒𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡. and he knows all too well noora is the first to push past her limits. his eyes meet hers again , emotions bare for her to see ( when did he become so open ? ) . ❛ don’t lie to me about how you feel , ❜ he begs.
finally, she listens. the glow in her hands turns to a dull yellow and then goes out completely, and her hands rest against his bare thighs. she wants to heal him completely. she wants to take away every ounce of pain, absorb it through her healing magic and make him as good as new. but for now, she rests. sadly, he was right. she can put on a show like everything is fine, but she knows she’s not completely healed. the deep gashes in his leg and side had taken more of a toll on her than she was willing to admit. she’s thankful that he knows her better than he knows herself.
“ okay, i’ll stop. ” she finally murmurs, hand reaching up to cup his face. her thumb brushes over his cheek as she looks into his eyes, and she feels her heart pound the longer she looks at him. she wants to kiss him again. but she doesn’t, not this time. but maker, she wants to. “ the same goes for you, okay? if i can help anymore, please tell me —— to hell with the consequences. ” she rises, walking over to the bath, dipping her hand in the water. “ now, before it gets too cold. i’ll help you. ” she says walking back, offering her hands to help him stand.

faergreen, leehra kelly.
she watches the cogs turn and for a second , she thinks about slapping her around the head for questioning her morality. lee’s never met someone as good as noora and she’s been around. gently , a hand comes to comfortingly tap noora’s head. ❛ noor … it’s not on you to save this guy. it’s good you want to help and all but you can’t feel bad for not being all up in his business especially when he’s clearly trying to keep you out of it. ❜ she switches chair and lays her head on the table so they’re looking at each other again. ❛ but if what you think is happening is happening then take it from someone who’s kinda been there : the best thing you can do is offer an ear and some time. friendship , i guess. anything else isn’t on you. ❜
she tries to believe her friend —— but it’s hard. “ i’ve tried my hardest, lee . . . the other day, we were studying together, and she just showed up at the library. she was all over him, and i ended up leaving early because i couldn’t bear it anymore. i’d get that level of jealousy if i was all over him, but we were studying parametrized curves. and the way she looked at him and looked at me . . . it’s like she sees him as a toy and i’m interrupting play time. ” noora shakes her head, fingers tapping against the table. “ he doesn’t even want to talk about it. i’ve tried. maybe it’s just best if i give up. ”

selfprove, 𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏.
❛ look li ⸺ noora , are you trying to insult me ? ❜ his tone is lighthearted. truthfully , he’s not sure what he looks like if he’s honest. not great , probably. his face worn from the lack of sleep and lacking its usual joviality after a week of concern. who knows what she saw on his face to make her worry so. but he supposes it’s down to him now to give her the bad news. reaching for her hand and wrapping it in his , he focuses his eyes on the gentle movement of his thumb caressing her skin. ❛ i’m not sure entirely what it was. they had a fight a few days after everything happened. it ⸺ it didn’t go well ? ❜ maker , he wishes he didn’t have to talk about this. it was an awkward situation already and his position with everyone didn’t exactly make him the prime choice for recounting the bad news. ❛ your banister’s broken. ❜ he offers it almost as a joke , trying to avoid having to go into further details even if he knows noora will ask. a fight isn’t new for them. how bad could it be ?
“ a fight? ” not entirely foreign to them —— they’ve had their fair share of arguments, but none that were worthy of banister - breaking. “ a broken banister? arthur, please tell me you’re kidding. ” she’s so stressed thinking about it now —— she doesn’t want to have to pick between them. “ well, it figures this would happen while i was asleep. ” noora sighs, free hand resting against her temple, using the little strength she has to squeeze arthur’s hand with her own —— but this time, it’s for her comfort rather than his. while she was asleep, her house was falling apart —— metaphorically and literally. “ will they be okay, arthur? please, be honest with me. ”

as she hides into him , he holds her tighter , hoping he might take some of worries away by merely willing them to come into him instead. he can only imagine how tired she must feel over this , how guilty she feels for “ dragging them into this ” as if they didn’t all make the choice willingly and gladly. he leans up to presses a kiss to the top of her head. ❛ antiva is not an option , ❜ he’s firm. they are too vulnerable and noora too known for a place crawling with some of the best assassins the world has ever known. 𝐡𝐞’𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰. ❛ absolutely not , too many hired hands there. and par vollen ? i’m pretty sure they’ve heard of the arishok slayer. it seems like a dangerous gamble to go into their territory. ❜
he moves slightly so his back can lean against a rock and he can pull her close to kiss her forehead. they’d find a way. they’d have to. ❛ i know , ❜ his voice is soft and content. noora said it all the time. he’s the one who struggles with the words , not because they aren’t true but because they seem strange on his tongue. i love you was not heard in the pendragon household. with a soft sigh , he captures her lips chastely. ❛ i love you too , and we’ll find a way. ❜ his mind is starting to hatch a plan. surely varric … letting the people who are after them find them feels dangerous but if varric can help them get married … maybe it’s worth it.
who would have guessed little noora hawke would be making waves in her whole country? it felt wrong. but still, regardless of how wrong it felt to her, it was her reality. she was now wanted everywhere and would be for the rest of her life, even though the crimes put against her were not true in the slightest. at least she had him. she had him, her fiancé, she had edmund, her closest sibling, she had leehra, her best friend. at least she had them. if she didn’t, she didn’t know what she’d do. turn herself in to the templars, maybe. be forced to join the circle, or worse, be made tranquil. a fate worse than death. she’d rather be an abomination.
noora rests her head against his chest, letting his i love yous ring through her ears, taking in his displays of affection towards her. she wanted to marry him so badly, and she’d be damned if she let something so silly as her reputation stop it. “ i know we will. ” she murmurs, eyes turning upwards towards his face —— though, her eyes only catch his chin until he looks down at her. she smiles when he does —— what a handsome man, and he was all hers. “ i started working on my dress, by the way. ” she grins. “ i’d show it to you, get your opinion on it, but i kinda can’t. ”

they practically begged her to come back —— they love you. you’re wonderful to work with. please, if you have any time at all, please come back. and now she sat, her makeup artists fawning over her. noora would be lying if she said she wasn’t happy to be back —— she was. she loved being around arthur and being on camera with him —— and she hoped these intimate scenes meant sophia wouldn’t be there today. “ let me see that. ” she looks down at the sheet, and sure enough, the intimate scene is heavily underlined. “ well, today’s my lucky day. tell me, did you pull some strings to make this my first scene back? ”
@iceyns plotted pv.
❛ it’s good to have you back. ❜ he smiles his most charming smile as he wanders into the makeup department. noora had been hired to add a little bit of drama in his on - screen love life ( and off - screen , he suspects. the show gets more viewership when him and sophia are on tabloid covers ) but the fans had loved her and her character so much , they had to negotiate with her people to get her back on the show. and he isn’t complaining : she’s a lovely woman. ❛ did you take a look at today’s call sheet ? ❜ he grins as he dangles his own in front of her , owning himself a dirty look from veronica the makeup artist. he only gives her a grin before turning back to noora and handing her the sheet , their intimate scene underlined for emphasis. ❛ what a way to start the day , isn’t it ? ❜

he leans back in his chair and watches her sitting on his desk , eyes drinking her in. his mind runs wild with the things he wants to do to her on any desk but , thankfully , he gets a grasp on himself fast enough , swallowing the heat he’s starting to feel and offering her a simple smile. this crush is getting out of control … ❛ they just like me because they see you every day , that’s all. ❜ he chuckles , pen dancing in his fingers to distract him from the forbidden thoughts threatening to spill out into the world. an eyebrow arches. ❛ really , you too ? ❜ his little act doesn’t last long as he gives a small laugh and shakes his head. ❛ well , i cancelled my date so … probably just watching some football , doing some grading if i don’t finish tonight. what about you , miss sunshine ? ❜
“ i’m sure she’s heartbroken. ” noora grins, glancing down at her lap and smoothing a wrinkle in her dress. lord knows she’d be heartbroken in that situation. but this was a crush, something so juvenile but a crush nonetheless. “ i’m getting some things for a little game we’re playing on monday. it’s a treat for them being so well behaved lately. ” thankfully, her class wasn’t super grade heavy. it was a plus side to her class, and the reason arthur walked into her classroom in the first place. “ football sounds exciting. do you watch it with friends or are you a pub guy? ”

faergreen, 𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒉𝒓𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏.
❛ we can only hope so. now that everyone has seen what it looks like when the city’s all fucked up , they won’t want another war. ❜ she’s starting to get annoyed at the small thread hanging from her wrist and finally pulls off her hand wrap. it stings to take the little part of ed she’s been carrying while they’re not talking away. she throws the mangled piece of fabric onto the table before snuggling herself into the sofa corner , hugging herself in hopes of finding the same comfort. ❛ i don’t know if it will teach you but we’ve been basically standing guard in turns to tell people the champion’s not to be disturbed so … it might have taught people to take care of their own problems. ❜
she certainly hoped so —— curse her bleeding heart. maybe it’s because she had an unmistakable urge to help those who couldn’t help themselves. maybe it’s because she knew flemeth helped her and her family in their lowest moment. she couldn’t turn her back on someone when she was helped. not selflessly, but for a price, just like noora was doing now. “ maybe it’ll take people not coming up to me to say no. although, i don’t really have an option if they’re not coming up to me. ” she laughs softly, attempting not to jolt her irritated shoulder.

it feels like a million little hands are reaching into him and burning his skin but at least he knows he’s healing. his head falls back with a groan on his lips. whoever said magic healing was a fast and easy fix lied. it is painful , only in a different way. “ all that matters is i’m here now. ” he agrees. she was the driving force for him to come back , the call back to the shore. while he doesn’t speak , his fingers brush against her skin again , letting them do the talking. when she finishes on his side , he sits up just a bit , gritting his teeth as the pain still remains. she’s done a beautiful job , almost nothing can be seen now but he can still feel the aching , like a bruise buried beneath the skin. still , it’s better than what it used to be. he’s thankful.
her voice echoes in his brain. ❛ cut it out ? ❜ he’s a little bit in shock. he was praying that it would not come to that and yet … ❛ cut it out , right. ❜ he’s barely got time to take the information in before her hand transforms in an atrocity of rock and sharp edges , eyes widening at the display. he did not know she could do that. “ you’ll tell me if it hurts too much, right ? ” the voice is a little distant as he stares at the crude instrument she’s about to use on him. he can only nod before he sits back in the chair and closes his eyes again. just don’t think about it. he squares his shoulders and grips onto the edge of the filled bath as she starts to cut , the kiss to the hand still on her cheek only bringing so much relief. his face twists in a grimace of pain but he bites back any and all sounds that threatens to spill out. she’s finally done and , by the time he finds the courage to open his eyes, her hands are glowing again. ❛ hold on. ❜ he sits straight in the chair , hands wrapping around her wrists and gently tugging them away from him. ❛ are you sure you’re ok ? i don’t want you to strain yourself. i can get our physician to help for anything else. ❜
she’s so focused on him, the sudden tug causes noora to jump. he’s the one she just dug an arrowhead from, and he’s worried about her. she’s tired, yes —— healing in any capacity tired her, especially when it was something like this that had been ignored for this long. she’d been tired before —— she’d been strained. what better cause for that than the one you love?
“ i’ll be okay. ” noora looks up at him, eyes softening the longer she looks at him. it almost makes her forget the things she’d done, makes her forget she’s an arishok killer, an apostate mage, the cause of most of the bad things in her family. he made her feel like the sun, something so important that he couldn’t live without her. the sun continued burning, giving its light no matter how long it worked, and so would she. “ trust me, okay? and even if i do strain myself, it’s for you. it’s a worthy cause to me. ” her wrist breaks free from his hand again, but this time it’s more gentle, and she takes his hand and kisses his knuckles tenderly. “ if i feel faint, i’ll stop. i promise. ” the truth of it was that she would go into a week - long coma again if it meant he could be fully and properly healed. she wanted him to be well and happy. “ are you feeling better? if something still hurts, i can work on it more. ” she murmurs, hands and wrists glowing gold again as she works at the cut in his thigh.

it was hard work to be as good as they are. hours of training , blood and , if he were a more emotionally open man , tears but they were all worth it for the thrill of being on the ice in front of an audience , hearing their reactions , losing yourself in the choreography … it isn’t where arthur thought he would end up but he would not change a thing. they finally get to sit for their points to be awarded and he smiles wide at her. ❛ you were amazing. ❜ he hopes the adoration isn’t too apparent in his voice. she was amazing , she is amazing , but the deeply burrowed feelings hiding in his heart don’t need to come out. clearing his throat , he lets his hand come rest on her knee for a moment. ❛ if we don’t win with what we did today … ❜
she’s painfully aware of his touch on her knee, the heat from his hand obvious against the cool climate of the rink. they were the last to go, the way the judging went is what would determine the way everything happened from here on out. the direction of their careers, any routine they did in the future . . . she hears the judge adjust his microphone and it nearly causes her to jump. though she tries, she can barely pay attention. she’s so nervous. she’s never been this nervous.
. . . and, with 125.9, pendragon and hawke take first place.
first! her heart soars as she hears it. “ oh my god. ” she’s smiling so big —— she turns to arthur, pulling him into a tight hug, not unlike any they’ve ever given each other before. this time, however, she does something different. as they pull back, she catches herself looking at his lips. this was not unlike anything she’d ever done —— but this time, she leans in, catching his lips in a kiss.

he’s leaned with his head on his hand , elbow on his desk , his eyes glued to the copy he’s grading. “ my class loved having you over today. ” he jumps , not expecting anyone to walk into his classroom. he doesn’t know if she waited for him to have his pen off the copy to talk but he’s grateful he didn’t rip through his poor students’ test ( though considering the responses , the student might have preferred it ). looking up with the brightest smile his tired self can muster , he watches as she sips at her tea. ❛ 𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆 , who would like mister grumpy more than miss sunshine ? ❜ he’s still not sure if it’s the kids or the faculty members that started those nicknames. he strongly suspects gwaine might be the one who first used mr. grumpy.
she feels bad watching him jump —— but the smile he gives her makes her smile in response as she walks into his classroom, eventually sitting on his desk, blue green eyes falling on the test he’s grading. “ my students. after you left, they asked me when you were coming back. ” her hands fold in her lap, she looks back up at him with a smile. “ so, mister grumpy. any fun plans this weekend? ” not that she’d ever act on the little crush that was developing . . . plus, she’s curious. maybe she wants to see what her chances are.

he gets startled by her statement , brows furrowing in worry. he lets her lay against him , his hand finding her cheek to rest on while his arm keeps her close to him , wrapped around her waist. ❛ ferelden ? ❜ concern is etched on his face and into his every word. she hadn’t been in ferelden since she had to flee , since she lost her sister and her home in one quick day. it was the same for edmund and while leehra was somewhat different , she’d also made a home in kirkwall away from her past in ferelden. would any of them really consider going back ?
he’s been to orlais a few times. it has its charm but he worries a little ⸺ orlais is not for the faint of heart , the uneducated and the rash. he knows a little about that last one. his father had to train him in orlais politics for months after the first time he went and nearly caused a diplomatic incident. ❛ i have some contacts … but is that really what you want ? the seeker is still trying to find you and she’s gone back to ferelden. ❜ his hand rubs circles on her lower back , more to soothe himself than her. 𝑖𝑓 ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑟 …
he relaxes somewhat at the idea of her marrying them. ❛ i don’t think that’s how it works , noora. and i would prefer it if you were next to me. ❜ he looks at her adoringly. she deserves it , to have the wedding she dreams of whatever that dream may look like. and if he has to go to extremes , then he’s not against doing that. even if she might be angry at him at first …
she hadn’t thought about the seeker . . . she still remembers hearing word from varric that someone was looking for them, for her. apparently, thedas hadn’t gotten the memo that noora hawke was gone. why couldn’t she live a normal life? why couldn’t she disappear into history, settle down with her husband and live happily? no. she’d be hunted down until the day she died, whether by angry templars, those damn truth seekers, or people looking to exploit her and her story. as noora feels his hand against her back, she buries her face in his shirt. out of frustration, out of sadness, out of anger . . . she didn’t know. she didn’t know what she was feeling.
“ we could try antiva. par vollen. somewhere far away that’s never heard of noora hawke and her rowdy band of hooligans. ” she murmurs into the fabric of his shirt. she can feel herself tear up —— not out of sadness, but out of frustration. his attempt to cheer her up at least causes her to look up at him, and even though her eyes are filled with tears, she smiles and giggles just a bit at the way he looks at her, at the way he talks to her, at the tone he uses. “ i know i say it all the time, but i really do love you. ”
