I had the absolute privilege of commissioning @kharonion for this gorgeous art of my favorite boys and just look how beautiful!!! Their expressions just absolutely hit me in the heart every time I look at them, and the color scheme is just so perfect and just feels like them!!! Ahhhh I am just so in love with it.
Please please commission this wonderful artist, they are so wonderful to work with!!!
Loving Deacon felt like empty spaces. In the moments they stole together, when it was just the two of them, it was electric. Warmth spread from even the faintest touches. MacCready would smile so much his face hurt, and laughter came as easy as conversation did. In Deacon’s arms, MacCready could finally relax. Sometimes Deacon would rub his shoulders to work out the knots as he told animated stories MacCready knew better than to believe. It was comfortable, and in those times, the hole torn through MacCready’s chest when he lost Lucy no longer felt so empty. Their kisses were intoxicating, and needless to say, the sex was incredible. MacCready would fall asleep with his head on Deacon’s chest, listening to the beat of the spy’s heart. Deacon would gently run his fingers through MacCready’s hair until the sniper fell asleep.
But when MacCready woke up, he was always alone. It was like waking from a beautiful dream. The bed wasn’t even warm where Deacon had laid. All that was left was an empty pillow and the faint smell of his lover.
MacCready tried so hard to be understanding. Deacon was a spy, he knew that going in. Secrecy was kind of a big deal, and MacCready was far from subtle. Everyone at Goodneighbour knew the merc, and his name spread far across the Commonwealth. His signature look made him easy to pick out in a crowd. Deacon had explained it to him several times, and he really did try to understand. However, it still ached whenever he’d reach for Deacon’s hand, only to have Deacon stuff his hands in his pockets to prevent that from happening.
MacCready loved so openly, yet Deacon could only love behind closed doors.

I was absolutely determined to get this chapter done before the year ended. Please, please forgive the wait.
While not on purpose, this happily coincides with the birthday of the amazing @bardic-inspo, so happy birthday! Hope this is a nice birthday bonus.
I’ve had nothing but Halloween on my mind lately, and it’s entertaining to think of what each companion would be for it- and the SS trying to explain it in the first place 😭 I could probably make at least four more panels for this comic if I tried
Last panel has @electricshoebox‘s SS Anthony, because the thought of him in particular trying to explain the concept makes me laugh
(personally, I think Maccready should agree to the matching costumes)
Happy Birthday to the CEO of DeaCready @electricshoebox <3

A Dragon Age prompt list for October! I tried to include a mix of creepy and general autumnal vibes.
Make whatever kind of creative works you’d like to focused on each day’s theme, and feel free to tag me in the results! I’d love to see what everyone comes up with. :D
eta: I’ve also created an AO3 collection, in case any participants would like to join in that way!

Sigrun and Velanna were mysteriously absent from the Dragon Age Day portraits so I took matters into my own hands 😊
