Dragon Age Day fic recap!
It’s Dragon Age Day! I don’t have any new fics for you, so I thought I’d present to you instead: my fics so far in this amazing fandom, and what I think of them now!
(see more DA fanart over on @chrideart)
These will be in order from oldest to newest:
Of Rashvine and Embrium
Posted: 31 Aug 2019, one shot
Pairing: Solas/F!Lavellan
Rating: E
Summary:
“It’s quiet here. I like it,” he mumbled in her direction with the shadow of a smile twinkling in his eyes as they slowly walked through the pass. She nodded, reluctant to break the silence.Ellana Lavellan and Solas find themselves alone in Ghilan'nain's Grove on a scouting mission after setting up the Fens Camp. The threat of a high dragon forces them to find shelter, stay quiet, and face their feelings. Smut ensues.Set in the Exalted Plains, loosely after the events of Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts, and All New, Faded for Her, mid-relationship. Mostly canon compliant. No late game/DLC spoilers (but some foreshadowing). Physical description of Lavellan kept to a minimum.
What I think of it now:
This was my first attempt at writing a fairly explicit sex scene, and my first fanfic in a while. I was fueled by pure solavellan hell UST anguish. Reading it now, I think it’s weird that it’s in past tense, but other than that, it’s pretty cute and holds up fairly well.
First Signs of Snow
Posted: 4 Dec 2020, one shot (Coiling Time tie-in)
Pairing: Varric/M!Hawke
Rating: T
Summary:
“Why am I really here, Varric?”
“It was an open invitation. Would’ve been rude not to extend it to you,” Varric replies, full well knowing it’s not what Hawke is asking. Adamant is not really something you get over. “Wine, cards, nostalgia and bashing on Anders. Get you your signed copy of Tale of the Champion.”
Hawke laughs.
Hawke visits Skyhold after his journey to Weisshaupt, because there's nothing like repeated near-death experiences to make a man speak the unspoken.
Set in the autumn after the events of DA:I. No DLC spoilers and minimal DA2 spoilers.
What I think of it now:
I landed into Hawke/Varric through seeing one piece of excellent fan art, and went down the deep end immediately. Since I was in love with these idiots and their repressed feelings, First Signs of Snow ended up as probably the most romantic hurt/comfort/fluff I’ve ever written. Maybe that I’ll ever be able to write.
There are two things I’m not feeling 100% on. Firstly, I kept the fic rated T with a fade to black, since I didn’t feel comfortable writing an MLM sex scene -- I don’t have personal experience, and I didn’t have the time to do the proper research. The second thing is, I don’t think I got Hawke’s voice down, so he sounds a bit more like a snarky Trevelyan. But overall, I absolutely love this fic to bits and want to continue with these two at some point.
The Inquisitor's Desk
Posted: 01 Jun 2021, one shot
Pairing: Solas/F!Lavellan
Rating: E (Very much E)
Summary:
All those long nights out in the field have paid off. Despite his efforts to keep up a mask of propriety at all times, Lavellan has learnt how to read the subtle signs the man can’t seem to control, and his expression is worth the risk of embarrassment. Right now, she sees the tension at the corners of his mouth, the flare of his nostrils, the widening pupils of his luminous light eyes. There’s a moment of hesitation, an attempt at that futile propriety, fighting against thinly veiled desire. Lavellan raises a finger to his lips to shush the reply forming.
“Fuck me against my desk, Solas,” she whispers.
Inquisitor Lavellan invites Solas into her quarters for a little stress release. Shameless smut without feelings ensues.
What I think of it now:
Ooooh boy, if I remember correctly, I wrote this one as I had finished all the smut for Coiling Time, but it was still a long time before I’d post it, and I felt an urge to write some more. Okay, I might also have been out of good one shots to read and wanted to write something steamy.
It’s rather formulaic and porn without plot compared to my other one shots, but, I do like it and the actual smut works pretty well. There’s just enough context to keep it anchored, but not too much to keep the reader from inserting their own Lavellan.
silk and seashells
Posted: 30 Jul 2021, one shot (Coiling Time tie-in)
Pairing: Sera/F!Lavellan
Rating: E (Very much E)
Summary:
Lavellan climbs in Sera's window at the Herald's Rest armed with a vague plan to wind down from a stressful day through going down on Sera. Absolutely shameless smut ensues.
Canon adjacent, spoiler free, mid-relationship.
What I think of it now:
Reading this one, I feel as if I cut it short, somehow. I remember, when writing it, that I felt a bit shy going into too much detail. Still, this was pretty much my first time writing WLW smut (I’ve written sapphic romance before though), and I had a good time with this one, albeit a short time.
Coiling Time, or, Thedosian Pottery
Completed: 27 Nov 2021- 32 chapters - 138k words
Pairing: Solas/F!OC
Rating: E (NSFW chapters marked with *)
Summary:
Coiling Time aka. the Thedosian Pottery fic
"Just that feeling when you’re about to go but then you’ve forgotten this particular data strand and the continuity just barely lets you pass through deflux... You know, like every molecule in your body is screaming in frustration at you over being reassembled just a little off. Oh fuck,” a wave of nausea and pain passes through me, and I accept a hot metal cup of liquid with shaking hands and a grateful sigh. “Thank you. I really must have miscalced some… something, something bad this time. Was it a timecode thing? Two days, you said?”
The man hums, as if in agreement.
“Well, there goes my plan to document hand-building techniques and drip glazes for a few months in the nineteen-seventies... Oh, this tastes nice and herb-y. Is that mint? And... Fennel seed?”
“Elfroot, mostly,” the man says, and I nod, leaning back.
Following what appears to be a mishap with her calendarium, time travelling 22nd century researcher Malika finds herself in Thedas during the Inquisition. Staying undercover proves hard however, despite your training, when you've caught the interest of a certain stoic elven mage... Also, pottery? Complete!
What I think of it now:
It’s a little early to say.
The reception on this fic has been insanely lovely, but, I am also proud of myself not only for finishing this fic but also for facing its challenges head on. And trust me, there were plenty! I suspect a few plot bunnies and plot holes remain, and there’s probably scenes that could have been edited out, but overall, it’s quite solid and I love it - I hope you will, as well. More than one of my wonderfully kind readers immediately started rereading this slow burn from the start, so I’m starting to suspect it is actually better than I’d given myself credit for.
