#oc: aurelia trevelyan

[curiouslavellan]

Summary:

“She should see fire and go towards Light. The Veil holds no uncertainty for her,” - The Chant of Light, Transfigurations 10:1 The singular survivor of the Conclave’s destruction has Andraste’s sunburst burned into her face. They say it must be a sign. Later they’ll say Andraste is the one who cured her Tranquility, that it was proof of the Maker’s infinite mercy for those who follow His will. Aurelia doesn’t know about all that. She’s a little busy trying

be yourself

the final OC kiss of the week is for @murderspice and their darling asher trevelyan! <3 xoxo me and aurelia

***

“Why the long face, Trevelyan?” Aurelia teases, leaning back against the battlements with such carelessness and ease that one would never know there was a mile-long drop into the river gorge behind it. “Or is it Inquisitor? Inquizzy… Trev?”

“Ah.” Asher folds his hands in front of him first, then behind his back. He’s still not accustomed to meeting new people outside the Circle, despite having been in the Inquisition for months now, and the appropriate etiquette for someone of such renown—the Champion of Kirkwall, Maker’s sake—seems to escape him. Before, it would have been easy. Smiles. Bows. Mingling. Posturing. But most importantly, as his parents had always drilled into his head: no magic. It was the secret he’d built all of his formalities and charm around.

Meeting people as part of the Inquisition has been much different.

Everyone knows he’s a mage.

He’s not quite accustomed to introducing himself as…well…himself.

“Is it Cullen?” Aurelia presses. “Is he being an ass again? We go way back, you know. Want me to bite him for you? I’ll bite him.”

“I—” As much as the thought amuses him, he’s too stunned, if anything, to agree. “Um, no, that’s quite all right.”

She looks almost disappointed.

“Thanks though.”

Aurelia shrugs. “What is it then? Did Varric undersell me? Oversell me? He gets in the habit of telling tall tales when you get a drink in him, and even taller tales when he’s completely sober.”

At least this time, Asher manages a smile. “No, that’s not it either. I’m sorry. To tell you the truth, I’m still getting used to…” He gestures at the great keep around them. “Well, this. And you know. My position here, my leadership. Of so many people both from the Circles and from…elsewhere.”

She raises her eyebrows, and he finds himself almost nervous under the gaze of her ice-blue eyes.

“Which isn’t to say that I’m unaccustomed to leadership, of course—I was quite high ranking in Ostwick’s Circle before…although, I suppose I shouldn’t expect you to—”

“To understand?” she interrupts him, and he swallows. Nods. “Ha.” She hoists herself up to sit on the stone wall behind her, and he has to fight the urge to pull her back to her feet lest she topple over the edge. “I do, though. My sister…my little sister was taken to the Circle in Kirkwall. I visited as often as I could. Half the time, the templars wouldn’t even let me see her. But the times I did, I saw the inside. I get what it was like.”

“I—I hadn’t known,” he says, truthfully. “Forgive me for assuming—”

“There’s nothing to forgive,” she says quickly with a smile. “It’s all just to say that I do get it. Even leadership in the Circle isn’t the same as this. The same as power.”

That’s just it, he thinks, and he nods vigorously. “Yes, that’s exactly the feeling. It’s just…different. And meeting new people, especially someone of your, ah, accomplishments…it’s strange, sometimes. I don’t know why. I find I don’t always know how to present myself. I would have, once.” In another time, another place. Before he could be himself.

She nods slowly. “Well. First of all, don’t let my titles and reputation and all that other bullshit intimidate you. Cullen certainly doesn’t.”

He laughs out loud at that now, finding himself more at ease.

“I’m just a person, you know? Like you. Just people. People pushed into something way bigger than we are, trying to find our way through all the crap.”

“That’s one way of putting it,” he chuckles.

“Now.” She hops off the wall—again making Asher’s heart nearly stop—landing thankfully on her feet and in front of him. She takes his cheeks between her hands and plants a kiss right on his forehead before rolling back on her heels again and grinning. “Good talk. But I can’t help but notice I’ve been here an hour already and you haven’t even offered me a drink.” She tilts her head down toward the Herald’s Rest. “So? Are you gonna?”

Asher laughs, a light flush crawling over his cheeks. “I suppose you’ve called me out on it now.” He waves his arm before her. “After you.”

If there's one thing Dragon Age Inquisition did right, it's that the rocks are very nice.

Nobody asked, but here’s Aurelia Trevelyan, my latest Inquisitor!!

Anyway, I’m pretty proud of how she turned out! And ugh, Cullen romance hits good.

Oh, and I obvs used some mods: [hair] [Skyhold outfit] [Fancy Attire]

Aurelia Trevelyan

Art by the lovely @jeannedarcprice

The second eldest child, Aurelia's task in life was to marry a suitable husband that would benefit her family financially or politically. Every encounter required her to be perfect, demure, and charismatic. She gave up the illusion of choice long ago and can only feel free and like herself when riding a horse.

[mistresstrevelyan]

☆ - happy headcanon for Drusilla!

One of the happiest moments of Drusilla’s life is welcoming her sisters to Skyhold. Both Aurelia and Calliope visited her there while her father refused to take back disowning her. (Her mother later showed up as well, leading to the slow reunion of the entire family. Her father never reconciled with her though, his pride won’t permit it, Herald of Andraste or not, this makes him feel like the charge of heresy was even more deserved than before)

All three Trevelyan sisters gave soirees and performed together again (Drusilla missed singing outside the Chantry more than she knew), they have the greatest time performing Antivan folk songs. Like this one:

Both Aurelia and Calliope are excellent players of the virginals and lute, thus making little pieces like that heartachingly beautiful. Bull cried when she sang this btw. :P

Fic asks: 1, 22, and 62 for See Fire?

Do you daydream a lot before you write, or go for it as soon as the ideas strike?

I am a constant daydreamer, sometimes to my detriment because it means I put off actually writing the thing. I've been getting better at taking notes when I think/ramble about a story for too long so I don't puzzle something out and then immediately forget it lol

22. Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles?

this is different for all my fics but for See Fire specifically, I love the writing of the Chant, and I love that the major quests in DAI are named from it, so I just decided to do that as well. It felt extra appropriate for Aurelia because obviously all Inquisitors are tied to the Chantry whether they want to be or not, but she's also literally got it stamped on her face.

The specific lines for this title, "She should see fire and go towards Light / The Veil holds no uncertainty for her" are obviously related to her fire magic but mostly they're sort of aspirational/hopeful

62. In [insert fic], is there a deleted scene/idea you wish you could have included? Why did it get cut?

Aurelia and Dorian had a much more extended argument about why time magic doesn't make any sense in the original draft of ch8, but I had to cut it down because it didn't make sense for her to have done that much thinking about magical theory yet. RIP heated discussion of the mechanics of the haste spell

Worldstate: Then Let it be Ruby

This worldstate is entirely about exploring the ways in which women in power come to be, and subverting tropes associated with women. Specifically the evil queen, the little old lady, the coming-of-age narrative, the girly girl, and the monstrous feminine specifically.

[nulfaga]

if i’m doing my math right i have 49 distinct oc’s (that is; characters with a concrete name and design whom i’ve drawn or posted about at least twice or who otherwise have a claim to living permanently in my head)

HOWEVER if you count the one-off characters, characters i barely think about anymore, and the side characters [that is to say, characters who have at least one line of dialogue] i’ve made up for fics or to flesh out my real characters’ backstories (elyas waewenys; galatea; aurelia, adamantus, aloisius and adelaida trevelyan; aafke; téodor; niko and fortunata; thayna hester; giftbearer deliv; kári, dionísia and gislenus falkaheri; gina gray and daniela díaz; yura gra-lugnaz; turwyn; marc; silya; fatima al-qamar; count aloisius goldwine; silrilgor; bashha gra-khaza; lorbulkhar; morshnag; tatianus marcianus caridenius; valens marcianus caridenius; marcus aemilianus caridenius; martina marciana caridenius; lavinia marciana caridenius; livia iuliana caridenius; nadinandriah; faustinia ancharia; shalha; afilus gregori; dra’abari rouvandi; do’vasha sijoni; durgz; tillari ofemman; curate sidonie; suria fabiana quaspus; eira; araedaen tahromuseus; relvasi ofemman; lord deribonia; kazaarr-jo; bolgrod; pari; briljye;  sybistina lexennia; dominus olcedius; ajirra; avia silacia and mamulla rora caridenius; jakob wolf-mouth; aline clément; galespia orim; simplifora lexennia; jara-tei; beldris; dar’zhim; tyranus urtarus; umayra mazir; emem nasar; defar; hlaila; orna potorin; duilius valentinus caridenius; nushmei-witzlg; déoric and florian; afan of the kvatch city guard; isidor of calm waters; synehil seedwing of valenwood, former champion of the anvil fighter’s guild; fonik; llivsi; voryvus; sanaru; iduria berheran; dordeni gra-varalea; faldhan thallan, plus 7 i don’t wanna name)

then my total comes to about 139
