Like a fire in my blood [AO3 login required to read]

Summary: Warrior Gloria 'Ria' Hawke never asked for a lot of things thrown at her in this life. She doesn't like most of them. But meeting Loghain Mac Tir is one of the few for which she's grateful. And for the kinship with him that eventually becomes something more.

Written for a Discord server exchange (organized by the one and only @mxkelsifer) in response to @judithmactir's fantastic prompt. I'm now 110% on board the Hawke/Loghain ship and am already feral for Ria Hawke. I'm so thankful I got the opportunity to explore this relationship! <3

(I like Ria so much that I've started a new DA2 playthrough for her~)

Here’s the little fic I wrote for @galfrey for our discord server’s Wintersend gift exchange 💕

DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION -> CORINTHA TREVELYAN

"There was about her a wildness that flashed in her eyes. She was spoiled and beautiful and easily bored."

[freesidexjunkie]

honestly love whatever the dragon age writers were on because looking at their calendar and all the months have cool thematic names like Wintersend and Drakonis and Bloomingtide and then you get to the eighth month and

it's just August

then nine on we're back to cool names like Harvestmere and Firstfall like that didn't just happen

Dragon Age OC Exchange!

We do a little Wintersend exchange on the Dragon Age OC server & I wanted to share the pieces I wrote!

The first was my assignment for @melisusthewee’s Quinn Trevelyan - a man caught up in a new love affair leaving a confusing but satisfying fling behind. https://archiveofourown.org/collections/DA_OC_Winter_Exchange_2023/works/52639819

And the second was an extra treat I wrote for @sandalinbohemia’s Roe Trevelyan who is a beloved character to me! I love Sandal’s updates with beautiful art of Roe and I had a free afternoon to write and had her on my mind, so I wrote this little exploration of Josie’s feelings as she’s falling for her. https://archiveofourown.org/collections/DA_OC_Winter_Exchange_2023/works/52677496

Both rated T, nothing spicy.

Check out the rest of the collection and fall in love with some new dragon age OCs for the new year! ✨

WIP Wednesday

(taking inspo from @greypetrel and making myself tagged for WIP Wednesday)

& since @dungeons-and-dragon-age always tags me in these - turnabout is fairplay

I'm working on Nat's timeline to scaffold my longfic ('love knows life') on:

9:30 Dragon 10 Wintersmarch - Lunar Eclipse 14 Wintersmarch - Nat's Proving 19 Wintersmarch - Nat is Conscripted 22 Wintersmarch - Nat Surfaces Wintersend - Nat's 23rd Nameday 16 Guardian - Arrive to Ostagar 2 Drakonis - Enter Korcari Wilds 8 Drakonis - Joining 15 Drakonis - Battle of Ostagar 17 Drakonis - Wake at Flemeth's, Leave for Lothering 22 Drakonis - Arrive to Lothering 28 Drakonis - Solar Eclipse 30 Drakonis - Leave for Brecilian 9 Cloudreach - Enter Brecilian 13 Bloomingtide - Leave Brecilian for Denerim 22 Bloomingtide - Zevran 29 Bloomingtide - Arrive in Denerim 7 Justininan - Leave for Soldier's Keep 11 Justinian - Arrive to Soldier's Keep 13 Justinian - Leave Soldier's Keep for Kinloch Hold 27 Justinian - Enter Kinloch Hold 11 Solace - Leave Kinloch for Redcliffe via boat 13 Solace - Make landfall, need to walk to Redcliffe 15 Solace - Arrive in Redcliffe 18 Solace - Corpse fight in Redcliffe 30 Solace - Leave Redcliffe for Orzammar 8 Matron - Nat gets pregnant 11 Matron - Enter Orzammar via Hall of Paragons 14 Matron - Reunite with Rica 4 Firstfall - Leave Orzammar for Haven 10 Firstfall - Lunar Eclipse 17 Firstfall - Arrive to Haven 22 Firstfall - Leave Haven for Redcliffe with Ashes 4 Haring - Arrive back to Redcliffe 6 Haring - Wake Arl Eamon with Ashes 11 Haring - Leave for Denerim with Arl Eamon 16 Haring - Arrive to Denerim 30 Haring - Landsmeet 9:31 3 Wintersmarch - Leave Denerim to muster at Redcliffe (23 weeks pregnant) 16 Wintersmarch - Muster night. Kieran Conceived (Nat 25 weeks pregnant) Wintersend - Battle of Denerim (Nat 27 weeks, Morrigan 2 weeks) 10 Guardian - Nat wakes up 8 Drakonis - Coronation, Shooting star 2 Bloomingtide - Gwinna Born!

This is out of date of my current notes, but I haven't pulled the current segment off donjon yet. Need to get Witch Hunt and Awakening scheduled in yet, then will put da2's timeline into the same calendar & dai as well, then Nat's "missing years" can be put in, in reference

Thedas Astrology for the WIP title ask game? :>

Thedas Astrology is my very messy, very incomplete lil pet project to create astrology for Dragon Age :3 I've studied astrology quite a bit, so I'm mainly using my knowledge of that and semi-translating it to Thedas, rather than coming up with things completely off the cuff. Hence why it's taking me forever.

I intend to put it up on AO3, probably with the first chapter just being the signs, potentially written as if by an in-universe astrologer. The second chapter will be the details of how I came to these conclusions and why I decided certain things, which might not be of much interest to people and could potentially go over people's heads a little bit. I'm not sure how much of astrology itself I want to explain 😅

Here's some never before shared bits and bobs!!

"It's my headcanon that the annums and solstices coincide, so their astrology cannot be directly compared to ours in terms of "6th/7th month = Cancer". Summerday (the summer solstice) happens in the 5th month, Bloomingtide, so that's where their equivalent of Cancer falls, being summer's cardinal sign. Also, as the solstices and equinoxes happen at the start of the months, each sign takes up one whole month as opposed to being spread out over two."

In astrology, the signs are ruled by 7 planets, which perfectly lines up with 7 Old Gods – making it Tevinter in origin (or at least, somewhat; they could have stolen and adapted the system from another culture, but I digress). There would likely be other systems; Qunari, Elvhen, Rivaini... but it's taking me long enough to do this one 😂 Besides, with how pervasive Tevinter was, it makes sense that theirs became the most widely used system – just as we use Roman names in Western astrology.

It will probably end up being very different from ours. For example, if I make the first annum (excluding First Day) the first sign, that would place Aries in Guardian (Pluitanus) aka the annum Wintersend. This used to be called Urthalis, and was dedicated to Urthemiel, the Old God of Beauty. So it makes sense to me that the first sign is ruled by them, as opposed to Aries being ruled by the planet representing the god of war for us. Urthemiel is mentioned in the codex for the constellation Bellitanus; thus, Bellitanus = Aries, the first sign.

But right now I suppose I'm unsure how much to lean into making it something completely unique. I could twist Bellitanus into Aries, Urthemiel into Mars, or instead they could be more easily lined up with Libra and Venus. But placing Libra at the front of the wheel is already a massive change, so why not do away with the equivalents altogether? I don't know.

I feel like most people would prefer direct equivalents. But by associating the annums with solstices/equnioxes, I'm already throwing off people's expectations of when a sign would fall in the calendar anyway. So maybe I should just do whatever.

Anyway, you see why this is taking me so long 😂 Thank you so much for asking!

Before the Deal

The inimitable @mxkelsifer not only ran the Gwaren Castle Wintersend Exchange but also wrote an incredible Anders & Justice fic for me:

I am still not coherent over this fantastic gift *flails*. SO MANY FEELINGS. It really captures the struggle Anders faces over how to help Justice, a struggle built up from Justice inhabiting a corpse and templars hating the idea of mages escaping their control to live as Wardens and the all-too-fragile power balance between the Amaranthine Wardens and the Templar Order. And his ultimate decision to merge with his friend makes perfect sense through the build-up written here. Thank you again and again, my friend. <3
