#brosca mac tir

[milesmentis]

A Brosca for a Brosca! 2, 10 and 19 for Brosca Mac Tir please 😳💞

Heck yes, Brosca Time! I love her and hardly ever get to talk about her so let's go!!

2) Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind? 

Yes and no. Originally, the long fic that I am (slowly) writing was intended to have three Warden protaganists: Daren and Heulwen were already established characters so I wanted to throw in one more character to round out the team. The problem was, as I got further into the outlining, I realized that it was just too full to juggle 3 protags + Alistair and Brosca was so overwhelmingly competent that I was stealing character development from other people. So she had to die, but then *that* freed her up in my mind to truly develop. Basically everything about her came about once I took her *out* of the team dynamic and set her loose on her own.

10) If they have an LI, how much of their character is tailored to be compatible to that person? 

Ooooh, so I'm going to talk about both of her LI's bc Brosca is my Alistair-mancer. In a single word, big yes! Her tough-as-nails but heart of gold personality was basically tailored to be Alistair catnip, and where Daren leaves Alistair softened (to his own detriment) I knew that I wanted to make a character who would both love him and harden him. She pushes him to put the kingdom first and wed Anora, a decision which erupts explosively at the Landsmeet. I like to refer to this worldstate somewhat cavalierly as "Ultimate Divorce Timeline", but the tragedy inherent in their failed relationship is so beautiful to me that I genuinely had no intention of shipping her with anyone else. Loghain kind of, just ... happened. So where she and Alistair are "opposites attract" her later relationship with Loghain is "like recognizes like" (it's the PTSD, but don't tell them that).

19) What is your favorite fact about your OC?

Brosca has hydrophobia. The first time she sees the ocean, she gets vertigo so bad that she almost vomits and blacks out. She wakes up to Alistair cradling her and coaxing her to hold on to the grass and just look at him

rica, who would have done anything for her baby sibling to believe in nobodies who become heroes, telling little brosca every single smuggled scrap that anyone in orzammar ever heard about loghain mac tir

[skyjynxart]

Miles wanted a sassy, tit-for-tat style feel for Brosca and Loghain for March’s Kofi sketch, and I decided to have fun with her literally bringing his tall ass down to her level XD Loving all the dwarf protags I've gotten to do lately!

[tuxedo-rabbit]

Does anyone have fic recs that involve a warden!Loghain?

I am finally doing a playthrough where I recruit him and I realize I've literally never read a fic that included him.

Preferably set during DAO, but any type of warden is fine!

Your Brosca's thoughts on Loghain for the npc ask game

Thanks for the ask! Radka is extremely willing to hate Loghain!

He's a teyrn, and she's well trained to expect a noble caste who cares for the lives of no one below themselves. The idea that he had no qualms leaving the Grey Wardens to all die faces no resistance from her, and she even starts to think it was premeditated when she remembers how Loghain had the Tower of Ishal blocked off before the battle. Killing the Grey Wardens is inexcusable and so she's not keen to tolerate his continued breathing

Then putting a hit on her after? Like, it was personal before, but now it's personal personal

Like ... are you kidding me??? How could I not be obsessed with her 😙

Happy happy Fridaaay! For DADWC, how about “Trusting you was a mistake" for Nanders, maybe? 🥺

Happy Friday, Gin! 💜 have some angst for @dadrunkwriting

Anders had not been pleased when Nate insisted they bring Loghain to Kirkwall, but he couldn’t deny he’d been useful.  The city guards damn near fell over themselves for the fabled Hero of the River Dane far more than they would have for a simple pair of no-name ragged Wardens.  Nevermind that he’d almost torn Ferelden in half.  Nevermind that the refugee crisis in the Marches was partially his own fault.  Nevermind that Wardens weren’t supposed to have any ties or allegiances outside the order.  He was still Loghain mac fucking Tir, father of the bloody queen of Ferelden.  

He wanted to head straight for the Gallows, but Loghain insisted they do it the next morning.  “They won't look on us kindly if we're still covered in sea spray and road dust.”

“Besides,” Nate added, “the boats only travel to and from the city twice a day.  We’d be stuck there all night.”

Anders shuddered at the thought as he stared over the water.  Karl, please, just one more day.  “Fine.”

They found a small inn near the alienage, paid for two rooms, and took their evening meals upstairs.  To Anders’ surprise and Loghain's confusion, Nate chose to bunk with him, leaving him alone to wonder and worry instead of sleeping.  

When they reached the harbor just after dawn, the ferry to the Gallows was still docking.  They got into the blessedly short line to embark and were back on the water in less than half an hour.

The boat ride was simultaneously the one of the most boring and – hah – harrowing experiences of his life.  Anders fidgeted with his jacket, as much from nerves as the need to do something to keep himself from jumping off and swimming the rest of the way.  It would be apropos, after all.  The swim across Lake Calenhad was one of his favorite and more successful escapes; doing it again to get Karl out would have a poetic irony.  

“Stop that,” Nate hissed as he slapped his hand.  “The more nervous you look, the more they’ll worry something is wrong.”

He bit his tongue to keep himself from snarling a retort.  Something was wrong, wrong with the institution, the whole bloody world.  And he was going to fix it as soon as Karl was out of harm’s way.

Karl, I’m coming.  For him, he’d keep his damn hands still.

The strange jangling in his nerves that he’d always associated with lyrium use was thick in the air as they walked down the gangplank, and only increased as they wound their way past the Tranquil shops to the main entrance.  He'd known it would be crawling with Templars, of course, but knowing it and feeling it were two different things entirely.  He felt like he was trudging through molasses and hot coals all at once.  I'm a Warden, they can't touch me.

It was a cold comfort.  No, it was just cold, with icy fingers that squeezed his heart and made it difficult to breathe.  He followed Loghain and Nate almost blindly and prayed they'd be able to get this over with soon enough to take the afternoon ferry back to the city.

A familiar face was at the gate.  Familiar and unwelcome.  Maker, it's Cullen; I thought he died, now he's here and promoted?  Anders knelt down to adjust his boot, wishing Loghain or Nate were taller.  Hopefully he doesn't recognize me.

Loghain pressed a paper into Cullen's hands.  “We're here for the Right of Conscription; these are orders from the Warden Commander of Ferelden.”  

When had Brosca done that?  Was it forged?

“We're not in Ferelden,” Cullen sneered, then crumpled it up.

“The Wardens have authority to Conscript anywhere Thedas.” Nate waved his hand in disgust.  “Even Kirkwall.”

Cullen made a face.  “I'll have to take this to the Knight Commander.  Gallows are off limits to everyone, yes, even Wardens, without her permission.  We can't simply – wait.” He peered over Loghain's shoulder.  “Anders?”

Damn.  He tried to hide his wince as he stood up.  “Knight Captain, what a surprise to see you here.”

Cullen ignored him as he swung his gaze back to Loghain.  “Warden Constable, is there a reason you're bringing an apostate into the Gallows?”

“Call it a gesture of goodwill.”  He pointed at Anders.  “This mage has proved to be more trouble than he’s worth.  We need a different one.  I'm sure you understand.”

What?  Anders looked at Nate, who cleared his throat and fiddled with his belt pouch.  “Nate, you – was this the plan the whole time?”  He lunged for him, reckless with despair as the smite hit, stealing his voice, burning his mana away, and Maker, it hurt, but not as much as this.  Templars were suddenly at his sides, grabbing his hands, then pushing him to the ground and twisting his arms behind his back before hauling him back to his feet.

Loghain watched the whole thing impassively, but Nate, fucking Nate, Nate whom he’d slept with, who’d offered to help him, couldn’t even do him the courtesy of looking him in the eyes as he sent him to his death.

It happened so quickly he was too stunned to even fight back as they marched him past Cullen and toward the gate.  The crushing silence faded as the gate lifted, and he twisted around in their grip, ignoring the agonizing pop as his shoulder came out of his socket.  

“Trusting you was a mistake,” he spat before they dragged him away.

hi i love your work, i just had another Though about wacky worldstates. if you romance (or just dark ritual) with a male brosca kieran, by marriage and depending on your choices, is related to the aeducans thru rica your sister. alt the same with a male aeducan, that would just make him have royal dwarven blood. i know bioware is just gonna ignore all these variations but god i wish they'd do something with it ):

leliana, cassandra, the wardens as an institution, the world as a whole: where can the the hero of ferelden and morrigan possibly have gone! disappeared! vanished!

orzammar, perfectly happy to have the king’s brother/brother-in-law’s powerful apostate on hand for the fair price of paying child support and letting her snark at people in the palace: truly a mystery to us all. no dangerous mages loose down here in orzammar for sure

What's the fic that you had the most fun in writing? No stress, no block, just fun?

ooooo thank you for the question! I tend to be an overthinker, but looking back over my works there are definitely a few that I've just sat down and had the words pour out of me without any writer's block at all :3

For all three of these, I can remember a couple scenes, or some specific lines of dialogue, or a certain theme that came to me and hung out in my brain as an itch until I wrote them, so that's probably why I didn't struggle getting these done!

if our demons cannot dance

Anders/Female Hawke | Rated T | 7/7 chapters | 12,469 words Missing scenes & expansions on the rivalmance between Mari Hawke & Anders

hold my hope by the throat

Carver Hawke & Female Hawke, Female Hawke/Loghain Mac Tir | Rated T | Oneshot | 3160 words When the Blight takes Carver, his sister entrusts his life to the man who once left him to die.

Shards of Glass

Female Brosca & Rica Brosca | Rated G | Oneshot | 3304 words "The babe who was not yet Nika Brosca rested in a crevice beyond the bounds of Orzammar." The Stone gave her life, and life gave her all rough edges.
