Kinda in my Dragon Age phase again...
“So you are here to join the Inquisition then?” Cassandra asked condescendingly, anger making her accent more noticeable. Athera shifted uncomfortably as her eyes darted to me, and I couldn’t help but curl my lip at the Seeker.
“I am here for my cousin.” I replied icily, my fingers twitching just a moment, eager for the daggers I had strapped to my thigh. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the male’s grip on his sword tighten slightly. “The one you wrongfully took prisoner.”
“Evune.” Athera called lightly—pleading—from behind me, her hand resting gently upon the grand, wooden table they had placed in the middle of the room—a war room, I had realized. But I stood between the Seeker—Cassandra, Athera had called her—and my cousin as a few others stood on the other side, including the commander I had threatened not an hour ago. Athera wanted peace, her heart was kind, but mine was not—mine had hardened long ago and I had no faith I could afford to hand out to the people in this room. Not after what I had heard, not after what I had experienced.
Ignoring my cousin entirely, Cassandra and I eyed each other, her glare becoming more prominent as the woman in yellow looked more and more nervous. “I made a decision in the moment, and it was a mistake. The Inquisition wishes nothing more than to fix the Breach and to bring Divine Justinia’s true killer to justice. The capabilities—”
“I am well aware of the capabilities your kind possess.” I held my head higher as Fen’an bared his teeth, his body trying to wrap itself around my legs out of the need to protect. “You call my cousin the ‘Herald of Andraste’, claiming she was sent by your Maker with blatant disregard to the honorary markings upon her face—that is the least of your capabilities, I’m sure.” Athera said nothing at that, the truth of it loud enough to echo in the room. “I have spent time in alienages before I found my family in the Lavellan clan, finally grasping the freedom the Dalish provided. I know what happens to those elves, I know what happened with your Empress of Fire.” Cassandra bunched her fists as she took a step forward, the light from the torches around us making her expression far deadlier.
“That has nothing to do with this!” The scar on her face became more prominent as she frowned, her rage coming off her in waves. “You do your kind no favors bursting in here and holding a blade to our Commander’s throat like some deviant! Instead of approaching peacefully—”
“My cousin is an apostate.” I cut her off quietly, but not softly. “An elven apostate, who you accused of murdering your precious Divine. As if the Chantry was not a danger to her as is, as if the Templars and mages are not at war with each as we speak. Your precious Commander was in no real danger, if he earned his title than he could have easily defended himself without true repercussions. But what of my cousin? Her name smeared despite what good standing our clan has held with the humans we trade with—she would have never recovered from the accusation regardless of her innocence and you want to cry to me about how I was able press my dagger to his throat and let him free?”
“Evune!” Athera hissed as she stepped closer, her grip tight on my arm as she grabbed me. But I didn’t hesitate to turn to her, silver-grey eyes meeting the icy turquoise of my cousin—one that I saw more as a sister.
“Our Keeper sent you to keep an eye on the peace talks, and when we heard of the explosion, we feared for you.” I whispered as I worked hard to keep my voice even, to keep my vision clear, though I felt the threat of tears burn in my throat. “And of course, when it became common knowledge that it was no mere accident, that it was perhaps a murder of the Divine, we feared more. Can you imagine, then, our reaction when we heard it was you that stood accused? With a risk of being shipped off to Val Royeaux? When fear runs high, rumors fly faster, cousin. And your mother became sick with worry over whether you were safe, and she pleaded Deshanna to allow me to hunt you down, and I came here to see for myself that you were in no danger, and to pull you from it if need be.”

A Snip In Time - Chapter 2
Callie learned all about the Breach and the Inquisition in school; who didn’t? Shame she didn’t pay closer attention … Time and magic went wibbly wobbly, and now she’s a modern hairdresser in Dragon Age Thedas. So how did that story go again?
Read on AO3
Excerpt:
“You know, I’m really not enjoying all the implications that this is going to go horribly wrong.” Callie said, hugging her arms about herself as she rose to walk slightly behind the Seeker. “No one’s told me what happens if it works, either.”
“If this is successful, we will require you to tell us all you know of the history of this time,” Cassandra said, leading the way up the long flight of stairs that would take them to the sunlit courtyard of Skyhold Fortress. “I do not suggest lying to us.”
“What good would it do me to lie about it?” Callie rolled her eyes. “If I lie, you might do things differently and then I’m not born, which means that I never drop out of my own timeline, which means you never get that future knowledge, which means that you don’t do things any differently, and then I am born, and that’s just a whole lot of paradoxical looping my brain can’t cope with. I can’t even watch Magister Whom without getting a headache, so the real life stuff is just not happening with me.”
“I ...” This seemed to have wrong-footed Cassandra somewhat, turning the Seeker’s habitual scowl into a frown of genuine concern and confusion as she glanced at the woman by her side. “I had not considered this. A true concern, certainly.”
“Whom is Magister Whom?” Dorian asked from barely two steps behind them.
“Oh, it’s a T.V show,” Callie said without thinking. “About a time travelling magister from Ancient Tevinter who drops into different time periods in history and messes around with them until they go the way they’re supposed to. It’s pretty good.”
“Tee vee show?”
Callie blinked, looking over her shoulder at him with a guilty smile.
“Oh.” She shrugged. “Technology that means people can watch moving pictures - like plays, but on a screen in their own home, and recorded so they can watch it over and over again if they want.”
“How marvellously dreadful. We should talk more about this terrifying advancement in future.”

OC Name Meanings
Thank you so much for the tag @elveny! Your answers were so good and thoughtful that I feel like mine are going to be so dumb in comparison LMAO.
Rules: Search and post the meaning of your OC’s name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! bonus if you can find something for their last name too.
*********
All right [cracks knuckles] I'll start from the top.
Mass Effect (original trilogy): Commander Adriana Shepard. I named her after my husband because he introduced me to the game. NOT VERY ORIGINAL, but named with love? 🤣
Mass Effect Andromeda: Mara Ryder. I honestly cannot remember why I chose this name for her. Vibes, probably? I often just pick a name that "feels" right...
Dragon Age Inquisition: okay, I made up sooo many fucking Lavellans, and when I first started writing, most of them were just named after Game of Thrones characters. This includes Elia, Arya, and Lyanna.
(By now, you may have noticed that all my OCs have names ending in "a". I do like names ending in "a." I am consistent that way. 😂)
Athera Lavellan is the DA:I OC whose name is the most thought-out. I borrowed it from FenxShiral's Elvhen book of names, and it means 'part of a dream', which thematically tied into her romance with Abelas.
But then there's Tamaris, which is another name that I chose because of vibes (it "felt right"). I will admit that I know someone named Tamaris and I love the name, but I was also surprised to find that this is coincidentally a name from FenxShiral's name dictionary - a fact that I used in my fic of her and Felassan.
Dragon Age 2: Rynne Hawke. Her name was also chosen for vibes; 'Rynne' struck me as a kind of fun, playful name. I think in-world, she is named after a great-aunt. (It's been a while since I revisited her, I think this is the lore. 🤣)
Dragon Age Origins: Yara Mahariel. BACK TO THE TRIED AND TRUE METHOD OF USING GAME OF THRONES NAMES. 🤣💀
Baldur's Gate 3: my main Tav is Eilaena Valderol, aka Brynn Bladetongue. THIS WAS THE NAME I THOUGHT ABOUT THE MOST. Her birth name, Eilaena, is a drow name broadly inspired by the goddess Eilistraee. Her last name is her mother's name, which I used a D&D name generator to come up with. Her criminal alias, Brynn , was borrowed from an adventurer she admired who was a regular at the theater-tavern where she grew up. 'Bladetongue' is a stagename-like surname that she came up with; in her words, it's masturbatory (flattering herself for her silver tongue), and she likes the alliteration. She's half-wood elf/half-drow, and she purposely gave herself a human-sounding alias to fuck with people LOL.
My other BG3 OC is Tavanah. I liked the idea of using the default "non-special" name of 'Tav', but making it special by having her romance, Rolan, be the only one who calls her by her full name.
Tagging forward: once again, to genuinely anyone who wants to play!!! But let's start with @seabirdsong @iamcayc @novarunestone @elinorbard @crackinglamb @johaerys-writes @alyssalenko @vorchagirl @hollyand-writes

Been re-reading @pikapeppa 's Inadvisable and on chapter 2 Abelas encounters Athera Lavellan, and encounters someone who isn't putting up with his bullshit. He eventually comes to love it. As for the "art", sorry not sorry.

Fic authors self-rec! ✨ When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers 🖤
Awww thank you for the ask! 😭😭😭
- I guess the first one would be my Call of Duty fic, mostly because despite all the flaws (because there are MANY), it was my first official fic and I love my ocs and ships. It’s probably one of my bigger universes in terms of tying things together because I combined the old Modern Warfare series and Black Ops 1 and 2 together. The characters are still hella fun.
- So obviously I can’t go into this list without mentioning my Far Cry fic. Mostly because I love my ocs and I love how they all tie together in one way or another. It’s gonna be a lot of fun jumping perspectives and tell the story of Wren’s fall from grace and how the ramifications of that affect other people or how other people’s actions brought it to be.
- My Dragon Age fic. You’ll probably see a trend now as I start to explain, but again, it’s the tie ins and the characters. But honestly, I love working with the lore and how deep that goes for Athera and Evune Lavellan, and the other ocs I have. Plus I like playing with the romances. It’s another big world I have.
- I haven’t even started this yet on paper, but my plans for my RDR2 fic. Because I love the story, I love the characters, and while the main canon will fall into the plot of my fic, I will also work magic with putting together an au so that things can be different and that happily ever after can be a bit happier.
- Last one…I wanna say Succession because I’ve been building that, or maybe my Batman one because I’ve worked on that for YEARS, but I think I’m gonna go with my Peaky Blinders fic. I had a lot of fun with it and I love writing for a Shelby oc. Grey characters are so fun to write. Dahlia is so well-rounded, I can’t help but be obsessed with her.
- Okay, I cheated, honorable mentions would be: my Witcher fic and my ACOTAR fic. Because they’re fun and bring me joy. ACOTAR was a book that got me through a lot, and so making ocs for it was definitely self-indulgent, but I don’t mind. And then Thela…my girl, I love her so much. I’m still building for her but I love complicated will they or won’t they enemies to lovers situations. And of course piggybacking off that last statement brings me to the True Blood fic I have because honestly, vampires are my faves and I will always enjoy writing about them.

A SNIP IN TIME 'VERSE
The three known heroes of Thedas as of 9:41 Dragon.
Gisela Cousland-Therin - one of two survivors of the Howe attack on the Cousland family, the woman who ended the Fifth Blight almost before it began, beloved Queen of King Alistair Theirin.
Left her home in Denerim mid-summer of 9:40 Dragon to seek out a cure for the Wardens who willingly inflict the Blight upon themselves to protect Thedas from what will come. A cure that may also save the life of her only child ...
***
Robert Hawke - a survivor of Lothering, and the reluctant Champion of Kirkwall. Brother to both a Warden and a mage, who has lost as much as he has gained. Was once closely associated with the Prince of Starkhaven, but events in Kirkwall appear to have ended that association.
Left Kirkwall in the wake of the destruction of the Chantry to prevent the threatened Exalted March. Last known location was somewhere in mid-Ferelden, before the explosion at the Conclave; appears to be investigating the proliferation of red lyrium ...
***
Athera Lavellan - the only known survivor of the explosion at the Divine Conclave, declared Herald of Andraste, and accepted leader of the Inquisition.
Seeking answers to her own mysteries as much as to the mysteries plaguing the Inquisition. Has proven her loyalty to the Inquisition many times over thus far. May be the only one who can stop Corypheus ...

”30. Sharing A Bath/Swim” Want to write something about Shok and Athera? c: Or any pairing!
Ruba dub dub~
Shokrakar leant against the back of the bath, his head and large horns hanging over the edge. As the warm water touched his aching joints he groaned loudly, his weight making the water rise, almost spilling over the sides. He looked down at himself, sighing at the sight. His wounds have healed and scarred, he found new scars every time he looked himself over, but knew they were old when he touched them. His once black body hair had now turned into a pale grey, his muscles had began to sag. He was still in good shape but he could see the difference in himself.
“Room for one more?” Came a soft voice from beside him.
He looked up to see Athera stood next to him, wrapped in nothing but a towel, and a smile on her face.
“Of course dear, hop in.” Shokrakar moved up a little.
Athera climbed in, dropping her towel onto the floor, revealing her naked body. She sighed happily, and sat on Shokrakar’s lap. The water, rising even more, eventually spilling over the side a little. He wrapped his arms around her, and held her gently against his body, letting out a soft, happy sigh.

After DA4 is released - and as the rumors say, the Inquisitor will appear again, will you write a sequel to Lovers In a Dangerous Time?
Ahh thank you so much for asking this great question! The short answer is: maybe?😂
The longer answer is below the cut because it's a little rambly!
Okay! I haven't been writing Dragon Age fic recently, and the reason is that I'm basically waiting for new material to drop so I can be re-inspired. I can't waiiiit to be handed new material to play with, and I'm 100% sure I'll get back to DA once we have anything fresh to work with (including that Netflix series in December, which I'm cautiously hopeful about).
I suspect that once DA4 drops, I will be drowned by the number of things I'll want to write, with a sequel to Lovers In A Dangerous Time (Fenris the Inquisitor, Fenris/f!Hawke) being one of them. But I'll now throw down a list of the possible ideas/ships I would want to get back into once DA4 drops:
A sequel to Lovers In A Dangerous Time, obviously. I purposely left the end of that fic with a few loose ends to play with (Briala being in Kirkwall, for example) in the hopes that I might pick up Fenris and Rynne again in the DA4 era. My main qualm about writing a sequel to this fic is that FenRynne have a son now. From my understanding of timeline, I think DA4 will take place 7 years after DAI or something like that, and in all blunt honesty, I'm not really interested in writing a child character. Then again, I never thought I would give any of my couples a kid in the first place, and here we are! 😂
A sequel to Fall Into The Tide, my Sten/f!Mahariel fic. I actually REALLY want to write this one. Based on the material from Tevinter Nights, I strongly suspect/hope that the qunari will play a big role in DA4. I wrote a whole post about how I'm hoping Sten (i.e. the Arishok) will return, and I am honestly frothing to put him and Yara Mahariel together again -- maybe with a happier ending depending on what happens in the game...?
Solavellan SOMETHING. JESUS CHRIST, I WILL NEED TO WRITE SOLAVELLAN SOMETHING. In all likelihood, I'll use @elbenherzart 's Nare Lavellan since I've fallen in love with her and kind of stopped being interested in my own Solasmanced Lavellan.
Felassan and Tamaris Lavellan. I refuse to believe that Felassan is fully 100% dead unless it's bashed over my head repeatedly in DA4. Even then, I might genuinely yeet this canon because I'm too in love with the cheeky boy to let him go. Tamaris might actually be the "canon Inquisitor" that I carry forward into the DA4 era since she used to be with Solas, but now she's with Felassan, and Felassan and Solas were bros once upon a time, and THERE IS SO POTENTIAL DRAMA FDKJGSHLJKG. It's fine I'm fine.
Abelas and Athera Lavellan. These poor babies also had a tragic ending when Abelas left her to follow Solas's path, and I would loooove to bring them back together in some horrible angsty way.
If I was really insane and ready to dive down a fic rabbit hole, I would combine these ships together -- e.g. Felassan and Tamaris as my DAI couple, Sten and Yara as my DAO couple, and Fenris and Rynne as my DA2 era couple (I'll put them into a more canon-DAI role where they both went to Skyhold together because FUCK THEM being separated, I refuse). BUT WE'LL SEE.
Anyway, this is just a look inside my frothing mind once something drops for us parched and starving DA fans. 😂
-- love from your friendly neighbourhood Pika! xoxo
