A Treat :3

So, started writing my Modern Solavellan AU, and I haven’t decided on a title yet, but it’s labeled ‘Project Yune’! I have snippet and I want to share it because YES. X3

Wanna swing by the bar after your shift, Temp? I know you got the money, but let me put you on my tab. And bring Yune if you decide to come. Hawke won’t shut up about him. Let me know what you plan, I’ll reserve the VIP suit for ya! - Varric - Read at 4:32 AM on November 6th, 2021

You owe me three bottles of wine after that goose chase, Lavellan! The most I could find was a nearly obliterated copy of ‘Dragons for Dummies’! And let me say, the writing was atrocious! Three bottles. By midnight tonight. If not, I’ll come to that ritzy apartment of yours and raid your shelves. This is a threat. <3 - Dorian - Read at 4:40 AM on November 6th, 2021

Yo, Drag. Drop by the gym if you can. Krem’s itching to box with you again. Lol You’re the only one, besides me, that doesn’t go easy on him. And I could go for a few rounds. :P - Bull - 4:42 AM on November 6th, 2021

I was able to get the files uploaded from the University of Orlais’ database. I’ll encrypt and forward them to you. Transfer to a flash drive this time. Just fyi. - Leliana - Read at 4:45 AM on November 6th, 2021

An automated message from the FPD - Mr. Fane Lavellan, it has been brought to our attention that you have been seen and reported of walking your dragon without a leash. For the safety of the public and in abiding by the law, we ask that you use one. If not, you will be sent a citation of $400 with the possibility of jail time. Thank you for your cooperation. - Sent to Trash at 4:47 AM on November 6th, 2021

Brother, Cullen told me you were walking Yune again without a leash. I know how you feel about that stuff, but at least look as if you’re using one. Think about Mother, kay? The last thing she needs is you getting vaulted into jail. Btw u coming with me on Friday to visit her? Let me know! :) - My - Read at 4:50 AM on November 6th, 2021

Fane let out a heavy sigh as he read each message on his phone, leaving each one left on read as he did so. Well, not the one from the police department. That one belonged in the trash, and it would always belong in the trash. Rutherford could kiss his ass and send him the citation. All he would do is pay it, be done with it, and begin the dance again.

“Dragons don’t belong on leashes, and I’m not going to pretend to put him on one. Suck my ass, Rutherford.”, Fane grumbled into the open area as he chucked his phone into the covers next him, the glare giving him a headache. Why was he even up right now? He still had two hours before he had to get ready. “Fuck, it’s too early for me to be up. Damn these nightmares..” He lifted a hand from under the covers, a light huff from the tiny creature of white and silver next to him making him snort tiredly before he began to rub the sleep from his eyes, the lids feeling as if sand was behind them and a pulley was yanking them downwards. Yeah, way too early, but nightmares that practically screamed at him were hard to shake off. His father could suck his ass, too.

Another heavy sigh left Fane’s lips as his rubbing yielded no relief and bitter memories threatened to follow from his dreams. This was starting off to be a fantastic morning so far. A myriad of messages that he would have to respond to, most were simple though, it was just a hassle, especially when his day started off shitty, awake at the ass crack of dawn, no sunlight filtering in from the blinds just behind where his bed was situated yet, and disgusting memories of physical abuse that had scarred his body and mind alike from a man he had regarded as a father when he didn’t even know who his real one was, but only saw and thought of as a monster now. At least he hadn’t had to tear from bed to vomit. What a plus, right? He hated mornings with a passion.

Fane threw his hand down onto the bed with a growl as the calling of further sleep was nowhere to be found, but froze up a bit when he could see a pair of glittering golden emerald eyes, the two tone hue like that of a precious jewel, glaring at him with sleepy agitation from his peripheral. He smirked a bit at the exasperated huff that expelled from a tiny snout, the air surprisingly cool despite coming from a living being. Then again, his little judge used to be indigenous to frigid mountains and tundras. He could probably freeze Fane right where he lay, and it would appear that that might be just the thought as round eyes drooped into a mild glare, the undulating gold in them seeming to brighten despite the dimness of the bedroom.

“Cool your jets, Yune.”, Fane quipped at the little dragon, letting out an amused huff of air when the twinkling glare didn’t abate. “Don’t glare at me like that. You think I want to be up at..”, he reached over for his phone again, gripping the sleek black and silver cover and scooping it up, tapping the button on the side to awaken it. He blinked a bit with a grimace as blue light blinded him for a second before he saw the time displayed before him. “..5:15 in the morning? Egh..” 

Yeah, it was way, way too early. For both of them.

It has a begun! And it is MARVELOUS!

Writing Tag Game

Thank you so much for the tag @noire-pandora! <3

Time to show people just how much of a baby I am in the fanfic world~! >:3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

A total of ten! Mainly because I lump drabbles together for easy access!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

....273502 words so far. :3 I like words. Words are good. Words are friends. 

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Emerald Eyes Amidst Golden Vows (the very first rendition!) - 48 kudos

Emerald Eyes Amidst Golden Vows - Bound Brighter - 24 kudos

A Dragon’s Hope - 15 kudos

Dragon Drabbles - 13 kudos

Poetry of Wolves - 11 kudos

(Honestly, the progression of style change in each of these fics is terrifying to me. I look back on the last one, and I’m like, ‘Oh my god.’ X’D) 

4. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I do, on occasion, respond! Though I may use a lot of words while writing, when it comes to communication? I suck. XD But, I do get extremely, extremely excited whenever I see a comment in my inbox, and I do go back and re-read them when I’m feeling down about my writing! I usually respond when a person asks questions, but I try to read them as rhetoric since I don’t want to spoil too much! X3 So, to everyone who has left me comments on my fics: THANK YOU. I do really appreciate and adore them. :3

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Many of my short fics (those ranging from one to two chapters) all end relatively happy. I like angst, but I also enjoy making characters that are usually somber and stressed a little lighter. :3 If we want to get technical, then the first several chapters of my main fic all have rather angsty endings because the beginning of Fane’s journey is...heh. It’s not easy, and it’s not supposed to be. 

Although, now that I look, a very old fic of mine called ‘A Dragon’s Guilt’ has a rather angsty ending. Basically, Solas’ frescoes in the rotunda send Fane into a momentary spiral, and it was me playing with Adamant possibilities before he was ‘set in stone’. Panic attacks and mixed memories galore! :D

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

*rifes through my fics* Uhhhh... All of them? :3 Okay, okay! No, if I had to choose it would have to be...one of the short stories in ‘Dragon Drabbles’. It’s a four part story (and my first hand at smut >:3) that’s titled ‘Existence is Not a Sin’. It starts off angsty, but by the end it’s so sweet, so sickeningly sweet that I’m like, “...How did I write this?” X’D ...I’m actually thinking of re-writing a lot of my previous fics just to see if I’ve improved with writing! :D

Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I do not write crossovers, but I’m open to the idea! Sadly, my brain hyperfixates on one thing at time, so my imagination is limited. X’D

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I haven’t, and I’m very grateful that I haven’t. To be honest, when I started writing and posting, I expected to get hate (prepare for the worst, you know?) because I was doing something that wasn’t really the ‘norm’ for a lot of people. After all, people are entitled to their own interpretations and mine some times don’t link up with someone else’s. I understand that, and I respect that, but some people...don’t offer the same courtesy. All I’ll say is, if you don’t enjoy my content, don’t read it. We’re all adults, so shrug your shoulders, say, “Not for me”, and move on. Just know that if you do leave a hate comment, you will receive no reply, no fuel. So, don’t waste your time and don’t waste mine. Simple as that. I’m here to share and make people smile, not argue. :3

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I have. Once, and I for the life of me can’t figure out how to do it again. X’D I’m very into soft intimacy; gestures and actions that speak a thousand words. Close positions (missionary, straddling, etc.) and a lot of eye contact with some healthy crying in the mix. *winks* I’m kind of inching towards a theme of ‘body worship’ when it comes to Fane and Solas because those two.. *sighs* They really need to shown that they are beautiful people; inside and out.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I have not. Thank God. XD All I’ll say is this though, you steal my fic, my son and claim them as your own? *gets close to the screen* I will track you down and demand a talk. Don’t steal other’s hard work. Don’t. Writing is not easy, and it takes weeks, months, years for authors to pump out their inspiration, so don’t steal that labor just because you want to say you could. Same goes for drawings and pieces of art. Don’t.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

I haven’t! English is my first language, but I understand some French! :D 

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, I haven’t, but the idea is intriguing to me sometimes! I’m just a tad unreliable due to how my mood ebbs and flows. I have very long dry spells. X’D

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Solavellan! >:D While I write solely M!Lavellan/Solas, I do support all genders and orientations for the ship! Because I didn’t get into the ship because of what I saw, it’s what it meant to me. 

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

*side eyes my main fic* LISTEN. It’s coming! I swear. I’m just having intense writer’s block with my main fic, and I’m not sure why. That’s why I’ve been messing with prompts and drabbles. X’D There’s also my modernAU, too.. *sweats* TIIIIIME! WHERE ARE YOU?!

What are your writing strengths?

Describing emotions. I like emotions. Emotions are nice. :3

What are your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue. Mainly because Fane...doesn’t speak much at the beginning of his journey. He’s very curt, short, so I have hard time incorporating other’s reactions to him. I’m getting better though, I think! :D

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I’m for it! Sometimes that little splash of altering dialect can draw someone in and establish a connection! Language connects us, and it’s never too late to try and learn so as to reach out to another! :D

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Dragon Age, my beloved~ 

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

A short story of mine called ‘Blood in the Snow’. It was one of my very first fics and it was the first time I was like, ‘This Lavellan is my muse. I can do so much with him.’ It was just so fun to write a vulnerable moment for Fane, but still keep him locked up. ...It was also where I went, ‘Oh. This is Solavellan Hell. I wasn’t meant to go there, but I DID.’ X’D
