Last but not least! My main Templartations assignment, a tavern scene for @nirikeehan
Give me the idea of Cullen and Rylen grabbing a cold one in The Herald’s Rest, and I am all fired up immediately! Not to mention an OC with a complicated love life 😁
You can read the accompanying short drabble on AO3! (I wrote a thing!!!) and check the whole Templartations 2023 collection here.

Work Summary:
What would happen if the Inquisition lost?
Months after a disastrous defeat, Cullen Rutherford and Thalia Trevelyan are imprisoned in Skyhold, the one-time beacon of the Inquisition's power. It is now under the control of Corypheus's triumphant general, Raleigh Samson.
Caught in a cat and mouse game with Samson, Thalia and Cullen must make a desperate bid for escape. Yet even as they search for a glimmer of hope in an unkind landscape, the question remains: what is left of the world, and can they survive there?

random prompt perhaps? (no pressure)
"I...I love you." "That sucks."
This is so Thalia coded (Happy Aro Week)
"Thalia, can we talk?" Captain Soren approached Thalia, the rogue clone towering above her small stature.
"Yeah, sure." Thalia sat down, pulling her shawl around her shoulders to better ward off the night's cold. "What's going on?"
"Ever since my wife died, I've felt this void in my chest." Soren said. "I've been trying to raise Camille on my own, but it's been hard, especially since she barely remembered me, after I was captured by the Empire for all those years. You're the only person who's made all this better for me."
Thalia had a feeling where this was going, and she didn't like it. "Yeah? I'm glad I can help."
"Thalia, I..." Soren took a deep breath. "I love you."
"That sucks." Thalia cringed.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult you." Soren bowed his head sheepishly. "I hope this doesn't make you too uncomfortable. I value our friendship more than anything."
"No, it's not that, Soren." Thalia shook her head. "I just... don't feel that way about anybody. Never have, never will. I'm perfectly happy to remain friends, and this doesn't change anything about our friendship, it's just... I don't love people. Not like that. I was disappointed because I knew I would have to break your heart, since I just don't feel those feelings for anyone."
"It's fine. I understand." Soren smiled. "Friends?"
Thalia grinned, shaking Soren's hand. "Friends."
"But seriously, beyond all that, I just want you to know how much I appreciate everything you've done." Soren said. "Taking care of my daughter while I was recovering from the conditioning the Empire put me through, helping me with Cam while neither of us had any idea what we were doing... it means everything to me."
"You and your daughter mean a lot to me." Thalia smiled. "After losing Aurora, I didn't know if I could even handle being around children again, since she was basically my little sister in the Order. But with Camille, it feels like I can try again. Maybe this time, I can protect her from the people who want her dead, now that I know they're out there."
"Yeah, after Order 66, I lost myself. The chip in my head... I didn't even bother fighting it, since I thought that Cam had died with Lydia. When I found out she was alive..."
"You found the strength to fight back, right?" Thalia squeezed Soren's hand. "You and me both. You have a really special kid, Captain, and I'm not just talking about her making rocks float."
"I'm glad that what I said didn't push you away." Soren said.
"Yeah, no, I've heard it before." Thalia replied. "It's more the response to 'no thanks I'm not interested' that pushes me away, usually. If someone's cool with me being uninterested in relationships and all that, it's fine."
"I'm glad." Soren nodded. "You're a really special person, Thalia. I'm glad we both survived and found each other."
Thalia leaned her head on Soren's shoulder. "You and me both."

I want to know which characters you think have orchestra or choir energy instead of band energy
First of all bold of you to assume you can’t be both (speaking as a choir and band kid who had two years of orchestra (I didn’t like orchestra tho))
Here’s some of the choir and orchestra line up for the marching band au:
Choir kids: Luke Skywalker (he’s in color guard tho, Rose Tico (could also see her as clarinet tho), Samakro, Thalias, Padme Amidala, Lando Calrissian (like Luke he does color guard)
Orchestra kids: Thrawn (he’s in band but also plays violin), Arhinda Pryce (viola), Thrass (Cello), Del Meeko (Bass), Gideon Hask (Violin)
That’s all I can think of rn
