NEW CHAPTER! KISSING???
Tumblr media
Between getting Covid and this chapter ending up twice as long as originally intended (I had very important things I needed to make sure were communicated, okay?), this took a hot minute to get out. But, I hope it was worth the wait, because after 128197 words... it happens. 👀 Here be a snippet right before it all goes down:
“You know that I’ve got a good memory, ma fen, you know that. I don’t forget things easily,” She was back to nicknames, it would seem. “Well, do you know what Garrett Hawke told me when he first arrived?”
Had she scooted closer? No, that was just the way the shadows cast across them from over the wall. Surely, there was no other explanation.
“Tell me.”
“He told me,” A snort. A snort! Mellan covered her nose with one hand and squeezed Solas’ with the other, eyes closed and face cast to the ground. “He told me, that my symptoms - oh, you won’t believe a word of this - that they mean, that I’m smitten with you!”
Solas’ eyes felt wobbly.
Ah, well--that was a new sensation. He wasn’t altogether sure he’d felt that before; not in a context like this, at any rate.
Give him the credit of maintaining his composure, the world within him shook with greater violence than a Titan fighting against the bonds of--
Is this how adolescents felt? Real, true, young people? Was it always so stifling hot?
“Oh, and Solas? Solas, the best part. You’ll find this funny,” Did she even realize he wasn’t laughing? Of course not, ragged hand covered giggling mouth and she hadn’t looked up to him once since she’d started. Was he to stop her? Let her continue? Did this manner of ‘announcement’ count towards that finish line he had promised he would meet her at one day? Was this the correct path?
Ironically, she was a balter from his own path, but an enrapturing one that left him dumbstruck with each new revelation of hers. Like an impatient reader he wanted to skip ahead just a few of her pages. Have her spoil the story and tell him what lay ahead.
“He said that,”
‘What comes next?’
“That you were a ‘lucky guy;’ that we were more than dear friends.” Another giggle and their shared fate was sealed. “As if, oh, my goodness, as if you were smitten with me as well!”
Mellan shook her head for a final time, before, at last, she raised it up to meet Solas’ eyes.
“But, that would be silly, wouldn’t it?”
She hadn’t actually thought much on what she expected to see when she opened her eyes. Perhaps a smile, a shared laugh, but not a stare. Not a look from her friend that held something deep and lurking just beneath the surface of murky waters.
Not something that made her wonder if the petname she’d given him of ‘fen’ was a bit too apt, and that if she moved too quickly, some emotion would snap; and oh, dear, Mellan was nowhere near ready for whatever that emotion might be.
“W-Wouldn’t it?” Had she actually spoke aloud, or simply thought the words? Mellan supposed she might have mouthed them, let them fan across her teeth. It took a real gulp of purest bravery for her to truly speak heartily again. “S-So, um, academically. Academically… my symptoms.”
‘Spirits, even my nose feels like it's on fire; I probably look like a tomato to him. Why couldn’t I just keep my mouth shut? Why couldn’t I just learn the blasted dance and be done with it all?!’
“Thought? Your thoughts?”
Peculiar, even by their standards, Solas held a single chuckle in his chest. Barely hiding his lip, he rested fingers upon it to shield the smallest smile as he turned to think.
“My thoughts,” he began, a twinge of well-measured mirth to his tone. “Are that Ser Hawke is far more attentive than I gave him credit for.” And that he could now confirm that he had been a right prick to the man, but that was neither here nor there at this point. 
Out of the corner of his eye he could see Mellan take a gulp for air, most likely absorbing the information he had technically-not-confirmed - and, therefore, was still following his own personal set of rules - but, also not at all denied. The blessing was that he knew she was smart, and that she knew precisely what he was getting at, all with his plausible deniability still perfectly intact.
He still was just as much of a prick, wasn’t he?
“A--hm,” She nodded, readjusting herself yet again, back straightening. Solas could see how her shoulders rolled back beneath her braids like branches beneath leafy willows, how her chest rose and fell across the skin exposed above her ill-fitting tunic. “I see. So, then, I suppose you are suggesting that Garrett’s observation was, ah, correct?”
“No, I am declaring it.” To him it was not a subject for debate.
Read the rest here on Ao3!
I hope you guys are excited and enjoy because holy moly I’ve been fucking amped for this jerhbuerbgueibguearburbygber I really hope it was worth the wait and this chapter is enjoyable D’x Love y’all!!

"Faith is what leads the weak to follow false gods," Geldauran snapped. "Faith is for those who have no trust in their own nobility, and strength. We would do well to cast it off, as we all should cast off our chains!"
"Ah, but it is faith that led us here." Felassan smiled. "What can compel a slave to stand against a god, if not faith in oneself, and in each other, above all?"
[Podfic Version]
I read a thing for @dreadfutures! I loved this gift from her for the @arlathanxchange a while back and wanted to try my hand at making podfic, so here we are.

In my fic universe, Merrill becomes an Agent of Fen'harel. My beta said this makes perfect sense because my red Hawke is so red that in her relationship with Fenris, he's the soft, well adjusted one. Red Hawke rivals Merrill, doesn't let her do anything with the Eluvian and doesn't give Merrill the Arulin'Holm (Dalish knife).
So ofc my fic Merrill is like "I met a human once. Hated it."

The Friends of Fen'Harel
or as my friend described them "A full Arlathan Breakfast" (Click all images for better Quality)
Tumblr media
More art of them with the Dreadwolf himself below the cut!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In these images- from top to bottom
Mehari- A former servant in a temple of Dirthamen, when Solas stormed the temple, everyone fled except for Mehari, who was solely tasked with Defending the temple until her dying breath. Solas found her amongst rubble and fog, bleeding and beaten but still determined to protect what she had lived for her entire life. Fen'Harel took pity on her that day and extended a hand of friendship towards Mehari. she has dutifully fought by Solas's side ever since.
Vawen- A former slave, marked for service to Mythal. Solas freed her and stripped her Vallaslin from her, Determined to show her gratitude Vawen swore to fight for Solas and does so with pride. cutting down foes and stealing for the Dread Wolf to further the revolution
Hathir- A member of the middle class in Arlathan, Hathir was dissatisfied with the treatment of others of his kind and was determined to change. He sought out Fen'Harel himself to offer his magic and his might to the revolution. though he may have offered more to the Dread Wolf than just his magic.
I really enjoyed creating these 3 characters and more so enjoyed developing their backstories! hopefully, with Christmas break coming up soon I can draw them more!

A letter from the Hero of Ferelden to the Arishok dated somewhere around 9:49 Dragon, found in the Arishok's private war tent:
Dear Sten,
Hi, it's me. An interesting message has reached my ears. Don't ask how, I won't tell. Apparently, your army is set out to Antiva? Is that true? Sten, I fucking live here, and by the amount of qunari coming into town I'm sure you know that. And no, they're not Tal-Vashoth. I know the difference by now.
I really want to keep this friendly, but I will not have an invasion. I already had to leave Amaranthine. I have kids now, Sten. I swear, if anything happens to them, I'll have you pay tenfold.
I hope the courier delivers the cookies. I hope you like them. For old time's sake, yeah? I consider you a good friend and I really don't want to lose that friendship, but if your people invade Antiva... well. Just don't do it! It's not so hard!
Zevran sends his love and his own threats. If you don't invade us, we'd love to see you again. If you really want to see Antiva so bad, you can come over any time, you know? Without your army.
Lots of love,
Astala
It is unclear whether the Arishok ever responded to the letter, but the paper looks like it has been crumpled and then smoothed out again several times.

Concept for Felani in a Post-Inquisition/Pre-DA4 timeline that I haven’t used yet. Not sure about the headpiece. I love those pose though. Maybe I’ll finish this some day.

Ghilana Elf Warrior (Champion)
Ghilana is an elven Ben-Hassrath. He was not born into the Qun but joined too young to remember life outside it. His father, Novhen Tabris (the uncle of the Hero of Ferelden, who was named for him, don’t get it confused), was a Rivaini pirate. On shore leave in 9:07 Dragon, he was caught in a scuffle between Tevinter and Qunari soldiers. He sacrificed his own life to ensure his son's survival. With no information on the young Ghilana, the Qunari, the victors of the fight, took the baby back with them to Par Vollen to raise it under the Qun.
Ghilana is not the named assigned to him. Rather, it is one he took up in his travels to use among non-Qunari to make him seem less untrustworthy to other elves. He has been sent to southern Thedas as one of several parties to find what information he can on the Blight.
In the south, he has been experiencing dreams which shake his faith in the Qun. In them, a lupine figure has been making frequent appearances and is attempting to lead him astray. In his companion quest, the Warden can either encourage him to defect to the Wolf or stay loyal to the Qun. After the epilogue of Origins, he does not return until Trespasser. Then, the choices made in his companion quest will affect his interactions with the Inquisitor.

WELL ITS ABOUT TIME FOR A NEW CHAPTER
Tumblr media
Copied this over from my Ao3, but I am SO SORRY its taken me so long to put out a new chapter. After attending a friend's wedding, I immediately went into surgery, and recovery has been difficult ever since.I still am not fully recovered, but my beta-reader surprised me and let me know that this chapter was finished, and I'm so happy that I get to share this one with you all!
I hope you enjoy it, and again, I'm so sorry for keeping you all waiting. <3
Chapter 26: A Fool’s Errand
Felandaris did little to dull the scent that somehow still pulsed through Mellan’s nostrils as headily as fresh bread seeping in across the threshold via the not-so distant kitchens.
The scent was plaster.
Plaster, with a hint of paint beneath fingertips. Fingertips that crushed ferns beneath them in one hand, and in the other cupped her face. The sour scent of magic, acquired and electric. A familiar sweater’s warmth in its well-loved care, washed in a home-brewed soap but holding a natural aroma that lingered with its age.
‘Mellan,’
Her toes curled to the floor and the elf let out a little ‘yip!’ of pain as she hit a splinter where the wood cracked to betray her. ‘Wake up,’ it seemed to say, unknowingly echoing the very words of the one she was fantasizing over.
Fantasizing! Her!
Of all people; she hardly even thought herself capable of it. It wasn’t as if anyone else would think she could.
Turning herself on a coin to plop her rear upon the wood, Mellan shimmied her knees to block out her chin from the candlelight. She’d been practically salacious; what would her Keeper say if she saw her like that?! Wasn’t that how the ladies - she didn’t even really like being called a lady! - in Varric’s books acted… she certainly felt like she was blushing like the Seeker was when she read them - it wasn’t as if Mellan didn’t spy that wee chestnut.
Worrying at the loose ties of her tunic, she snuggled her forehead deeper to bump her legs. Then again, did she care much anymore? Now, that was a truly scary thought; a thought she really ought not to be having. First she was struggling to care for this nasty Inquisition business, but now what her Keeper may think of her actions?
Well, what about Aislin?
Oh, Aislin would hate this. Hate, hate, hatehatehate--
‘You know, I don’t recall asking anyone’s sister’s opinions…’ On the topic of dreams one failed to forget, eyes she hadn’t realized she’d squeezed shut sprung open to the sound of an echoing chant in the recesses of her memory. 
‘What are yours?’
Slow arrow.
Mellan lifted head and hand, tracing the shape of the bracelet in the air with her pointer finger. Silver and light, near mockingly so, much like the glinting of his lavender eyes.
Lavenders. For loyalty. Devotion.
“I liked it,” she admitted to the man in her mind’s eye, whispering on the wind, so sure that only the cobwebs would hear her. “I don’t want to forget it. I--”
‘I’m afraid,’ she thought, before another remembrance returned:
‘You feel safe, don’t you?’
“More than I know I should.” Something was amiss, something remained unspoken and more than her own cowardice was to blame. Everything returns to the dirt after it is born, and eventually in it is forgotten, until it is one with the Fade, and lingers.
That should not scare Solas, but something in it did, and he seemed determined to shield her eyes from it like it should blind her if he not.
‘What of this lingers that you do not wish I know, ma fen?’
‘You’ve yet to guess, Mellan.’
Braids fell hard and unforgiving, like chunks of snow off of shaken trees, as she leapt down and shook her head all in one fell swoop. She would, she would; she was nothing if not a diligent researcher. Better yet, she was one that was, perhaps, developing something that her precious books had that, until recently, she’d so greatly lacked:
A spine.
Read the rest Here on Ao3!
Again, I’m so sorry that its taken me so long to publish this, please be patient with me as I continue to heal up. <3 I love you all so much, thank you all for being so supportive of me, it means so much.
