... If Tristan went to the Inquisition as was the Divine's plan partially... Would he have a rivalry of management with Josie or perhaps Viv?
maybe lmao!! tristan wasn’t really trained to handle international affairs on josephine’s level but he was trained to run fereldan castles full of soldiers, raise militia, govern resources, etc. so he would not at all expect to take josephine’s job at the war table but he would consider himself more qualified to run skyhold and they might lock horns over how to treat important guests JGHDJSKSK

Here's a snippet from the exchange fic for the Solavallen Hell exchange that I wrote for Mafalda!
-
"That block is incorrect."
Ellana sighed and did the sequence again, otherwise ignoring Solas. He appeared in her peripheral vision after a moment. Closing her eyes, she tried to breathe the way Helaine had taught her.
"You are holding the block too low, Inquisitor."
Groaning, Ellana tossed the stick down and turned to face him. "What do you know of swordplay, Solas?"
His lips pursed as he shook his head. "In the Fade-"
"Dreams and visions in the Fade aren't the same as real life! You can't teach me how to fight when you haven't done it."
"I know what the correct version is, though, from witnessing countless battles throughout history," he answered coolly, "and I have seen the consequences of that block performed poorly."
Frustrated, she unbuckled her armor and let it clang to the ground with gleeful abandon. Her fingers ran through her soaked hair and slicked it back out of her face. From the corner of her eye, she could see Solas watching her. His face was mostly clear of emotion, a faint furrow between his brows the only sign of discontent. She regretted kissing him now.
It had seemed a natural action in the dream. There in Haven, the two of them wandering in calm silence unless they spoke. She remembered the way his eyes had shone. "Felt the whole world change." And she had kissed him, the memory of a dying man's lips on hers as she pressed into the living version.
Ellana sighed. "Show me, then."
Solas straightened his shoulders and gestured for her stick. Once handed to him, he twirled it casually before raising an eyebrow at her. "Why a stick and not one of the practice blades?"
"Commander Helaine says the spirit blade will feel like nothing when I wield it, so it is best to practice with as light a replica as possible." She shrugged.
He hummed quietly to himself before launching into the drill she had been practicing. The motions appeared graceful when Solas was the one performing them. Ellana saw the block he pointed out, saw where she went wrong, and made the — likely foolish — decision to pretend she hadn't.
"Did you see what I did differently?"
"Maybe?" She hedged, holding her hand out for the stick. Solas passed it over quickly and watched her repeat the drill. Making a sound of disgust when she flubbed it again, he stepped forward and grabbed her arm to yank the block up higher.
"What are you trying to protect with this block?" He asked, the calm he normally projected cracking.
"My chest?" Ellana questioned. She repeated the drill, deliberately failing to execute the block again.
He left her sight and she thought she might have taken it too far, that he was frustrated enough to leave, when suddenly his arms were around her.
"Let's try it this way," he said in a stern but quiet voice directly into her ear. Ellana shivered as he guided her through the drill. Right step, left, back. Sword sliced down, swung back up, and shifted to come across her face.
