J5 with all the OCs you listed! (I’m a recent follower so I didn’t even know you had OCs :o)

hey, welcome! and thank you for the ask ^w^ i’ve actually only somewhat recently started to reveal them (well, as of a couple months ago). i’m even currently working on a sideblog dedicated to them and the rest of my writing, but it’s still under construction (css is a bitch). when it’s done though, it’ll have detailed character pages and profiles (which i may or may not copy some of onto my main blog like the gremlin multi-fandom blogger i am)

J 5. what brings them the most joy in the world?

marie kondo would be proud of this ask

Valentina Ledoux: seeing the people she cares about be happy

Adrianna Hawke: being truly seen as herself, as just a person

Lucas Trevelyan: being accepted

Ashawyn Lavellan: sticking it to the chantry sunsets and sunrises that paint the clouds in gorgeous palettes

Yasena Adaar: breathtaking views

Reka Cadash: compliments on her beard

Kirsa Runadotten: learning new things about magic

Serena Amell: seeing everything the world outside Kinloch Hold has to offer

Athenna Surana: cloudless nights and starry skies

Elizabeth Peterson: finally feeling like she fits in her body

Leah Riley: riding a motorcycle on a sunny day (with her gf pressed against her back with her arms around her)

13 for all of them

13: Which one likes to surprise the other with a lot of small random gifts?

Eliza x Athenna

So Athenna is definitely That Warden that gives her friends random things she finds, but she never expects anything in return. Which is why she’s very pleasantly surprised when Eliza gets her something and she’s smiling for like the next week

Val x Marianna

Marianna absolutely gives Val lots of small (and not so small) random gifts all the time once she has money. A lot of them are suspiciously weapons or armour.

Val x Cassandra

They’re not big on openly giving the other gifts, as their relationship is for them and them alone. That said, they both like to surprise the other with small thoughtful gifts; it’s part of their courting ritual tbh, although really for Cassandra she just wants to do something nice for her lover, get her something nice. It’s difficult for them both to find gifts for the other–they’re both very practical people–but they find a way. A lot of the time, they’ll get back to their room and discover some flowers waiting on their desk.

ask meme 2, #11 for all of them

ooh, good one

11. What causes them to fight?

Eliza x Athenna

whenever one of them does something reckless that puts their life in danger. it’s expected that Athenna does–she’s a grey warden, after all–but that doesn’t mean Eliza has to like it. when Eliza puts her life in danger, though, well. Athenna makes a big point about how Eliza is in no way shape or form combat trained

really though, Athenna just doesn’t want her friend/crush/lover to be hurt

(*cough* the deep roads say hello *cough*)

Val x Marianna

i don’t know that they’d fight much, tbh. like, i’m sure they would, but i can’t really think of any reason. i’ll get back to you on that

Val x Cassandra

their views and beliefs. Val is pretty vocal in her beliefs that the Chantry is shit the Temlars are shit the Circles are shit and things could all be done so much better but the Chantry likes being in control. This clashes a lot with Cassandra’s own beliefs, which are that the Chantry and Templars and Circles all have a purpose and that they are fulfilling that purpose. maybe not in the best way they could, but they are doing what they are meant to.

that, and Cass isn’t too fond of the Herald putting herself in danger. she’s their only hope of closing rifts and the Breach, and Cass has seen the scar on her hip and knows that she’s weak on that side in a close quarters fight. it eventually turns into actually caring about Val and her life, but Cassandra isn’t so good about putting that particular bit into words

they both reexamine their stances after particularly big fights, and while they’re often painful, the fights help them grow

16 for val/cassandra and for eliza/neria

16: Which one gives the other their jacket?

Val x Cassandra

Val. Val gives Cass her jacket, because Cass looks cold in just her Seeker armour and Val is warm enough with her (enchanted) leathers. Cassandra does her best to keep from blushing and is failing remarkably.

Eliza x Athenna

Athenna gives her jacket to Eliza all the time bc really Eliza is not used to Ferelden weather at all and Athenna’s warden jacket is very warm and comfy. plus Athenna thinks Eliza looks super cute wearing it

4 for eliza and neria

4: Which one tells the other not to stay up all night and which one stays up all night anyway?

Eliza knows that Athenna hasn’t been sleeping well lately (thanks archdemon) and tries to get her to sleep because she genuinely cares for her even before they get together. Except that when Athenna does try to sleep, she wakes up after only a few hours, at most, so she just stays up all night anyways. Less nightmares that way.

[jennserr]

for the ask meme: 2 for eliza and neria

2: Who sleeps in the other’s lap?

since Athenna doesn’t sleep well due to archdemon dreams, it’s almost always Eliza who calls asleep in her lap when they make camp. it starts even before they’re together, and everyone thinks it’s adorable bc Athenna gets all flustered and like she has second watch but she can’t move bc Liz is on her lap and she can’t move her

[jennserr]

7 for all of them

7: Which one constantly wears the other’s clothes?

Eliza x Athenna

Neither wears the other’s clothes much, since they’re almost never clean what with crisscrossing Ferelden for a solid year straight, but if they were to, Eliza would wear Athenna’s clothes bc Eliza is finally small enough to wear her gf’s clothing and she will take advantage of it as much as she can. Athenna thinks it’s adorable af

Val x Marian:

Val definitely wear’s Marian’s clothes, but that’s mainly bc Marian has a lot more clothing than her bc she can afford it (though tbh most of the clothes are ones that Leandra bought). She totally goes to work one day still wearing something of Marian’s without even realizing.

Val x Cassandra:

They wear each other’s clothes when they’re both at Skyhold, but only in the privacy of their rooms. When Val is away on expedition and Cassandra stays behind though, Cass will occasionally sleep in one of Val’s undershirt layers bc it smells like her
