you see wolf & Deer symbolism and go predator & prey, I see pride & wisdom parallels, we are not the same

That's right! I'm talking about you morrigan, anders and solas

Suffering consequences

[green-eyedfirework]

Dick can tell that the alpha is angry from the moment he spots him. To be fair, no father would be calm right now, but angry seems like an insufficient word for Slade's current mood.

When the alpha growls, the entire clearing bows their heads.

The men chasing Dick and Rose are already dead, ripped apart by a furious wolf pack, and Dick is numb, wondering if he's next.

He was supposed to keep Rose safe. He was supposed to teach her and protect her. And he failed.

Rose is slumped unconscious in Dick's arms. She isn't seriously hurt, just bruises and scrapes and magical exhaustion, but Dick can practically feel the murder exuding off of Slade as he stalks closer.

"She's okay," Dick tries to reassure, voice hoarse.  "Just tired."

Slade's gaze snaps to him, and Dick abruptly regrets getting the alpha's attention.

The sound Slade makes is a cross between a snarl and a roar, and it's enough to start the trembling. Slade closes the distance, lips pulled back, teeth gleaming, and Dick stays on his knees, frozen to the spot. The sound of his heartbeat is the loudest thing in the clearing.

Dick's whole face is prickling. "I'm sorry," he forces out, because he failed, and then he shuts his eyes. He can't watch his death.

The bite is sudden and deep and agonizing as sharp teeth sink into the junction of neck and shoulder.

Dick cries out, or thinks he cries out, the pain a sharp counterpoint to the way he's getting dizzy. His arms are losing strength and he makes a muffled sound when he feels Rose slipping, but hands skim across his, picking her up easily.

His eyes are open again, but that doesn't make a difference, not when the world is growing ever more blurry between each gasping breath.

Slade disengages, and this time, Dick screams.

It feels like a thousand fire ants chewing on his collarbone, like someone carved him up with a superheated blade, and if this is how bad it hurts, Dick doesn't want to know how bad it looks. The world tilts around him the moment Slade lets go, and Dick finds himself sprawled in the dirt, sobbing so loud he can't hear anything else.

Something wet and cold touches his face, wandering across his skin. Please, Dick tries to say, please make it quick. If the alpha decides to play with his food, well.

The darkness is approaching swiftly, Dick's own injuries catching up with him, and Dick swears he can feel the rough, sandpaper edge of a tongue before it washes over him.

~#~

Dick wakes up feeling warm, which is pleasing enough to almost ignore the other throbbing aches that demand attention.  His shoulder is pulsating with soft waves of pain and he very carefully turns his head to avoid aggravating the injury.

He remembers—the fight, Rose passing out in his arms, his own magic drained, the wolves appearing, Slade.

The bite.

Dick swallows.  Slade was snappish the entire time Dick was teaching Rose how to use her magic, he doubts that this episode endeared him to the alpha.  The only niggling problem is that Dick feels far too cozy right now.

He cracks open an eye.  Fur.  Dim light.  Silver hair.  He blinks, looking down in surprise at the curled-up wolf pup sprawled across his chest, breaths softly whistling through the air.

He honestly thought he'd never see Rose again.

There's another pup tucked under his left arm, light-colored and drooling on his shirt, and a bigger, dark-furred adolescent wolf with his back to Dick, and on Dick's other side is—

A cold, ice-blue eye meets his gaze.  The alpha doesn't look any less angry, any less murderous in human form.  Dick is stuck to the spot, trapped by more than a sleeping wolf pup and heavy furs, as the alpha leans over him.

"Sleep," Slade says, in a voice that makes it sound remarkably like a threat.

Dick shuts his eyes, and sleep follows quickly.

Have you played MAGE : The Ascension ?

By Stewart Wieck, Christopher Earley, Stephan Wieck, Bill Bridges, Sam Chupp, Andrew Greenberg

Set in the World of Darkness, players are ordinary humans who awaken to magic and become able to shape the reality around them. Players will be a part of a sect which has its own philosophy of living and of the purpose/nature of magic and how it should be used. The ultimate goal of most mages is to ascend beyond mortality to become a higher being (some mages believe ascension to be impossible and focus more on day-to-day living). Players will need to survive in a harsh world of vampires and werewolves while also trying not to cause paradoxes with their magic. At the same time the faction known as the Technocracy is attempting to stamp out magic and hunting mages (unaware that they, themselves, are mages which is why their technology is so advanced).

WOO, finally got this ref chart together! the art's actually kinda old by now (I started this back in february) but I didn't feel like redrawing everything outside outfit changes sooooo,,,,,my apologies 😅 here's the main cast! you can find individual refs in this masterpost

[felassan]

(click link for clear version of image). I was so psyched to see the Blood Dragon armor set return hhh. :D so far it's been in DA:O, DAII, and even in Mass Effect 2 and 3. iirc it wasn't in DA:I, so they've brought it back ♡ it was a neat surprise and it takes me back to the early DA and ME days (nostalgia). :') I wonder if it will have the same lore blurb on its item description/codex this time around or a new one? ^^ also, it looks to have received a redesign/design update while keeping the iconic elements. I like the wings on the helm of the warrior version (reminds me of the Wardens, and if you look closely there is a griffon on their breastplate under the blood dragon) and the big long sleeves on the rogue version (rogue version seems more Crowish?). the mage version is the coolest though, like damn omg!! Main Character Energy. it really suits qunari mage Rook. the mage version has snakes on the fabric, a scale pattern, and a snake forms the belt (the belt is super sick), so maybe the mage version is more Tevene/Shadow Dragons inspired? and is that Blood Dragon vitaar? it's dragon-shaped. :>

All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes. Please look at tags and warnings on ao3 before reading.

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-Kun

Sick Days by IcyPheonix

Iruma encounters a side effect of living in the demon world he'd never considered before.

He has absolutely no immunity to demon sickness, and when a mild seasonal cold sweeps through the school, Iruma is wholly unprepared for what happens.

how to be a good person by thewunderkind

In the middle of one of the harshest winter in the Netherworld, they found a human child.

DC

Beef Consommé by Vamillepudding

Parenting is Bruce's thing, and Jason isn't planning on messing with that. But when Bruce fails to spot the countless red flags about Tim's home life, it falls to Jason to step up. Of course it does. Because he's literally the only one in his family who knows how to be responsible, and if Dick disagrees, he can suck it.

stay with me by envysparkler, Periazhad (+podfic)

Jason knows it has to be bad if Bruce is asking him for help.

ATLA

The prince and the admiral by Buridanio

Iroh was exiled many years ago. Instead, Zuko is sent on his Avatar hunt on the ship of the abusive admiral Zhao. Until they cross paths with the ship of Chief Hakoda of the water tribe who, despite Zuko's insistence, for some reason refuses to kill him.

A Start by RumpleByRam

After long years at sea fighting the Fire Nation, Hakoda hopes the shipwrecked prince will have some useful information to end the war.

After long years at the mercy of General Zhao, Zuko hopes that the Water Tribe chief will kill him and be done with it.

Neither of them get exactly what they want, but somehow, that's better.

Marvel

No patch job by Buridanio

Fury wants Peter Parker to join the team of Avengers. The Avengers aren’t unanimously thrilled about the idea. But they get to know him, come to care for him, and start to realize that he really, really needs their help.

Clone Wars

Get the Balance Right by litrapod (litra), wanderingjedihistorian (RangerJedi67)

"It’s why we have to get the balance right,” Cody pointed out. “You are my mate which means in our pack hierarchy your word carries weight. But if I’m there and you speak up when I don’t?” Realization dawned on Obi-Wan’s face. “It could come across as me trying to take authority from you,” he said. “The very thing our mating is designed to prevent.” Cody nodded, grateful that Obi-Wan finally understood.

It's been 4 years since I saw this post about an elf joining the Inquisition (or is inquisitor?) and claiming to be Fen'Harel. I finally got hit with inspiration for a design and here we are. Thank you @another-rogue-trevelyan for that brilliant post

A little lore/character ideas beneath cut

Armed with two crossbows and a bit o' magic, they might just be the quickest draw in Thedas, but that could be as much of a tall tale as it is their claim to being the Dread Wolf. We hear riveting tales of their glowing feats, from liberating slaves wherever they may be found, to simply wrangling a stray halla or helping the local grandmas bake pies for the upcoming market. This Fen'Harel is super cool and charming and everyone loves them.

Other random RIDICULOUS lore:

Tattoos on their chest!

Golden City - always searching for their "golden city", but also abide by the Golden Rule. ("Unless it's gambling or a heist...y'know, rules are bendy things, let's not get into the fine print.")

Black City - what is that thing that would make them give it all up and go all in?

Arm tattoo - they forgot the meaning, as they got it during one drunken night in Antiva (or was it Rivain?), but they're pretty sure it's a poem or song to Fen'Harel.

[Akin to an Adoring Fan, this elf searched high and low for stories and eventually it paid off. They realised what Fen'Harel really stood for, past all the propaganda and even the darker truths. His sacrifices, his mistakes, the hope he inspired. They saw and wished the Dread Wolf meant more to modern people or wanted others to see that truth as well. Of course, they have a massive ego, pride, and gambling problems but we all have our flaws. So. They've donned the old name, for better or worse.]
