Summary:
“Fuck, Jules!” you hiss as you finally spin around to find the bronze-skinned woman standing just beyond the kitchen and eyeing you with a mixture of pity and concern. Your top lip curls and you don’t even try to hide it, “I don’t know if you’ve noticed but every single fucking year since we met we’ve been involved in some sort of-“ you shake your head as your thoughts swirl viciously like a whirlwind whipped up in the wake of a storm, “-life-altering disaster!”
I was debating whether or not to make these pre-HB snippets one big thing. But realized breaking them up into days leading up just feels better

One of my favorite things to remember is how I chose Annie's name in the first place. Or, in universe, how she chose her own name.
Something I'm not sure if I've mentioned before.
But it'd be interesting to hear how some of your Sidesteps chose their names!
#she picked it from the Michael Jackson song#Smooth Criminal#i dont know if the music world has changed in the actual game universe#but thats what im sticking with for now XD#fallen hero#annie kane#iggys thoughts

Making myself emotional because I can see it so clearly if I allowed them to grow old, just Tegan and Ortega sitting at a bar. Ortega has finally accepted the wheelchair but it hardly slows him down even if he's put on some weight. Kept the mustache even if there's far more gray in it now and he wears his glasses with more frequency.
Tegan loses the undercut but keeps the length and isn't quite balding but his widows peak is pretty severe. Lost a tooth somewhere along the way but its only noticeable when he smiles and he does smile now. His hands still shake but they're far more often held and it keeps him from sneaking the cigarettes he's not supposed to have anymore.
And Hoots is different now, has been since Owl retired and the renovations make everything look too new and the clientele skews much younger than before but there's still two old heroes at the bar that have practically become a permanent fixture.

I think we should make 10 hr shift in retail a popular au. Think of the character development. Want to know what would push that blorbo to the brink? 10 hour shift in retail.
#i have done a few 10 hour shifts in retail and let me tell you#i was in a meeting nearing the end of the 10 hours#and i was just crouched on the floor#head in my hands#trying not to laugh because I was just so over the shift#it was 2pm and i had been up since 3am

3, 13 and 18 for the Sidestep ask game? :)
Hi :D
Tysm for the ask!!!
3: what is their villain name? why did they choose it? Raleigh's villain name is Heartbreak. It was between that and Anathema. They chose it because Anathema felt like it'd be too much of a giveaway, and because of the whole 'using the name of your greatest failure/fear takes away some of its power' thing. Raleigh thinks it's funny how much it pisses off Ortega idk .
13: do they want to be well-known, or do they prefer to remain obscure? As Raleigh/themself they'd prefer to remain obscure. Logistically it's a lot safer and gives them more freedom in terms of how they conduct themself while staying off the Farm's radar. As Heartbreak, I think they'd say they don't care but that they'd actually find it pretty funny and validating to be well-known. Like, they'd have twitter if it existed in-universe, and they'd 1000% take pics with the fan club graffiti.
18: what is their greatest fear? Raleigh's greatest fear is losing their freedom/being trapped/being exposed. They don't want Ortega to die either but considering how much they canonically almost kill him I think that's a fear they're a little better at suppressing.
#i love your answers to these questions so much 😍#< prev tag#you're so right#villain Twitter would be hilarious#and because i like to think of Annie as having a slight Scottish accent#well#Scottish Twitter is wild 🤣

18&25?
Hello! Sure! :D 18. What is their greatest fear?
Annie - Being dragged back to the Farm. That, and losing Julia for good. With the Farm fear, it ties into her whole thing of wanting freedom. Not just from the Farm and just all of it, but the freedom to die how she chooses. Because she knows, if the Farm takes her, she'll wish she had died instead. And with Julia, its why Annie was petrified after the crash. Not wanting Julia anywhere near her because she was just afraid that Julia would stop caring if she knew.
Evelyn - Being forgotten. Being left behind like she was before when the Farm took her after HB. That's why she holds so much anger, and hatred towards the Rangers. And Julia specifically. She loved Julia. And then to be left alone and abandoned? Unforgivable.
25. Do they prefer to be alone or with other people?
Annie - It depends. Most days she'd rather be left alone but that's because she can't tolerate being crowds or around people. She doesn't like being observed at the best of times.
Evelyn - She doesn't mind being with other people. Crowds she tends to avoid, but when she can't she can just distract herself with the hum of minds when she doesn't want to think. Some days though, she'd rather be alone. If she wakes up cranky, then watch out
Thanks for the ask :)

Chapters: 9/13
Fandom: Dragon Age
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Leliana/Female Warden (Dragon Age), Leliana/Female Tabris (Dragon Age)
Summary:
Leliana takes a breath as she wills her unease towards the back of her mind, removes her gloves which she throws somewhere into the room behind her, and grasps the sides of her loves face with a tenderness not befitting of the desperate situation. She watches as her love struggles still, watches as her neck strains while her flesh burns and Leliana’s grip only tightens when her love tries her hardest to turn her head, teeth snapping close to the soft skin of Leliana’s palm.

Relationships: Leliana/Female Warden (Dragon Age), Leliana/Female Tabris (Dragon Age)
Summary:
Connected to the main story (just not by song). A little something from Leliana's POV. Will be split into more than 1 part, as it was getting too long. - - - “But there is… something else at work here.” Leliana watches as Solas’s brows furrows. The bed dips slightly as the man leans in and lays a palm gently upon the Warden’s forehead. The figure between them shudders at the touch and a quiet, almost imperceptible moan escapes through cracked lips, “She is far too warm for someone who has just travelled days through knee deep snow and heavy blizzards to reach us. To put it plainly, Spymaster,” her title. Again. Leliana raises her head, her eyes clear, to face the healer, “It is as if she is burning from the inside out.”

Summary:
Sorry its been a while! But here's the next chapter! - - - It’s not death you’re afraid of. No. You haven’t been afraid to die since your lips graced the silver rim of a jeweled chalice and you felt your heart stop within your chest. What you’re afraid of is love left unresolved. Of words left unsaid and a painful longing 7 years in the making being left to fester and soil in the heart of your love. You will not die here and leave her wondering once again what has become of you.

my dream as a fanfic writer is to write a story which people want to talk to me about and send asks about afterwards and discuss things the characters did and the symbolism and meanings behind certain lines and I'll be all "hehe thanks" but irl I'll be in literal tears because I wrote something that means something to someone
