Started this one years ago, finally I’m painting it again over and over - still a work in progress tho.

Our favorite Spymaster ❤️👀

no it's funny though because my lavellan is probably the bioware protag i based the most on my own personality. when i was 24 playing dai the first time she was sarcastic and didn't take things seriously and just flew by the seat of her pants on making decisions. but now replaying it as closer to the age she actually is (30s...ish lol), she's more mellowed out and responsible. even if she doesn't know what to do she's going to try her best to do it right and care for others. i think it really reflects how much i myself have grown and matured in that time and i'm really glad i chose to replay it and fiddle with the character a bit.

leliana x morrigan is forever btw. the only dragon age ship that exists along side merrill x isabela (unparallered btw but the morriana comes close)

idris would feel so validated after trespasser that he never trusted solas. i mean, he doesn't trust anyone, so it's like you throw a thousand knives and one will finally hit something, but we're not talking about those 999 others, right. he was right about solas from the very beginning! he's not mad at him tho, it's not like they had any particular no destroying the world after work agreement.

Things I love about Marlow’s playthrough in Trespasser

Vivienne’s letter she sends you as Divine. Her friendship is just so sweet, she seems so genuinely happy to be able to see you again and is planning fun things to do together...I’m so glad they’re friends.

Also, Vivienne as Divine seems more supportive of the Inquisition staying together than Leliana. No suggestions about disbanding and she seems very dismissive of Orlais and Fereldan’s side. Since I think Marlow will keep the Inquisition around I really like how this could fit into the story.

This is the first time Sera has asked one of my characters to join the Jennies! Toth got the marriage scene instead and my Lavellan did not get along well enough with Sera to get it. It’s a really sweet scene!! I love seeing the other Jennies. Marlow as a Jenny would be...interesting. But I think he’s more likely to do that than go back to being a not-official-bard in Ostwick.

Dorian using the word Amatus every chance he can is very sweet. He must have become more comfortable with being recognized as lovers in public. Even more interesting that this is happening as he is deciding to take a more active role in Tevinter politics.

The Divine armor is very cool.

Might reblog with more as I keep playing. Especially once I get to the Solas parts, I’ve never played through with an Inquisitor that Solas hates before!

actually i take it back i read the justinia journal codex maybe she really was just that naive

The Chantry Sister and The Spymaster

Leliana from Dragon Age 💖

[ontarom]

A moment of discrete tenderness between the spymaster and the King of Orzammar, aka the Hero of Ferelden, during a visit to Skyhold.

A couple months ago I played DAO with a noble dwarf and I really fell in love with him. He ended up being a great fit to romance Leliana, I think: very honorable and gentlemanly, but not without his sins (he has fathered two kids, which Leliana knows about and is okay with, but he's mortified by it)

But now I'm mad that Leliana gets introduced as "mistress to the King/Queen of Ferelden" in the Winter Palace, if she romanced a human Grey Warden, but not as "mistress to the King/Queen of Orzammar". Maybe it depends whether on you put Behlen or Harrowmont on the throne... Bleh, anyway, my headcanon is that Duran Aeducan came back and took the throne after Harrowmont.

Also yeah I REALLY simplified the crown of Orzammar because the real thing looks cumbersome as hell.

Has anyone speculated that Rook is called Rook because Leliana might have recruited them and/or sent them to Varric?

Reasons:

her alias as Sister Nightingale (bird codename already existing)

the fact that she is in the Rookery in Skyhold despite rookery meaning only "nest for rooks" (according to Google) and not, as I thought, "tower full of corvids"

her current/former existence as spymaster? I mean, even as Divine, that's what I imagine she's doing in my worldstate lmao

it was Leliana that said to any Solasmancing Lavellan that she would start looking for Solas immediately after Corypheus' defeat

Leliana, regardless of whether she is Divine, is in the post-Trespasser cutscene about recruiting someone new to help in the hunt for Solas — maybe she still wants him found and is still working to that end!

See also: their hoods. Both the same muted purple.

Please, where are my Leliana-recruited-Rook truthers, I'm so soft, I want Leliana to help as much as Varric but from a much more cautious distance, send help

Patrolling Skyhold at dawn 💕

Sweet Leliana and her majestic crows are done, at last. The original sketch spent like four years buried in a folder. Hope I gave it some justice.

Now I can crawl back to my doodle because painting is hard.

i love when blackwall lies through his teeth and says he was in ferelden during the blight. that raises so many questions like where the fuck were you when the hero of ferelden was looking for wardens. it's especially funnier when you consider leliana, hof's friend and spymaster, is one of the advisors. that's so brave of him to just blatantly lie like that. i want him.

day 8, almost getting caught

You knew it was reckless, but that didn’t stop you for a second. You hardly had enough time to say ‘good morning’ before Cullen was off to his duties and you were off to yours. You couldn’t wait any longer.

The moment Leliana and Josephine left the war room you were rounding the table and pulling him into a heated kiss. He paid no mind to the markers you swiped off the map to make room for the two of you, he’d already memorized their locations during the meetings. 

You exchanged heated kisses as clumsy fingers moved to detach the armor and bits of cloth that dared to come between you. 

How you got into this position, back pressed against the hardwood of the table and him moaning above you, was a blur in your lust-filled mind. All you could focus on was how deliciously Cullen was stretching you and how much you needed more, more, more. 

You pulled him closer to you, raking your nails across the broad expanse of his back. You felt his muscles ripple under your touch, and you pressed your fingertips against the now-flushed skin. You wrapped your legs around his waist, allowing him to rut deeper inside you, causing you both to let out whines of pleasure.

“Inquisitor,” he groaned against the shell of your ear as he leaned over you, encompassing the whole of your body with his. 

Voices sounding outside the heavy wooden doors of the war room caused you to tense against Cullen and him to stifle a groan against your shoulder. 

“Josie, I’m sure you didn’t forget it,” Leliana’s voice was muffled behind the doors, but you’d recognize it anywhere. 

“I must be sure, Leliana. It’s my favorite quill; I’ll just be a moment,” came Josephine’s muffled response. Cullen froze above you, both of you straining to hear the conversation just outside the doors. 

“I think I saw it in the rookery when you walked up with me, maybe we should start there? I’m sure the Inquisitor and Commander are still discussing important matters.” Leliana’s voice rose at the last part of her bid to lead Josephine away, and you flushed. Nothing could get past your spymaster. 

It was quiet for a moment, and Cullen slowly picked up where he left off, thrusting deeply inside you. The gasp that escaped you when Cullen hit the particular spot that had your back arching against the hardwood was stifled by his lips against yours. 

The thought of getting caught sent a jolt through your body, and you clenched against him. His pace quickened, and you could tell he thought the same.

“Very well, we can check there first,” Josephine replied and the footsteps receded. 

Cullen cupped your face with one hand and, as his thrusts became sloppier, he kissed you. He pulled away after a moment, just enough to look you in your eyes as he fucked you.  With one final snap of his hips, you were coming undone and his name tumbled past your lips. 

He was soon to follow you off the precipice and he shuddered against you as his hips stilled within you. He pushed the hair out of your face and his gaze softened as he looked down at you. 

He pressed a tender kiss to your temple, then to your nose, and finally to your lips. “I missed you, my love,” he whispered against you. 

“Perhaps we should move this to my chambers before Leliana and Josephine come back,” you suggested, a small grin gracing your features. 

A blush spread across Cullen’s face, but he nodded and helped you dress. He was quick to put the markers back into their correct spots and drag you out of the war room to continue your reunion elsewhere.
