Timelines and ages aren't definite, but during Origins, Companion Novhen has a pair of twins aged somewhere around 4. The Inquisitor Novhen AU is an offshoot of that Companion Novhen about ten years later
Which means the Inquisitor Tabris, Herald of Andraste, savior of the realm du jour, and possibly also bann and/or hahren, has a pair of kids about to enter the age where it's time to start arranging their marriages
Besides their father's accomplishments, it is possible for their aunt/uncle (first cousin once removed) to be the Warden-Commander and Hero of Ferelden, and even without that, Novhen still has the possibility of being good friends with several important people which will rub off on the kids. When looking for a partner for your children, someone's family being close to the king or the Divine is generally considered a good thing, i'd think
He might have someone else who can take up his duties as hahren or bann in his absence (which already include arranging marriages for younger members of the alienage with no one to represent them), but give a little time to account for Inquisition definitely taking longer than a year and once he finally gets back home, he is going to be fighting against a deluge of proposals from all over Thedas for the two latest Most Eligible Elves
#novhen tabris#au: companion novhen#au: inquisitor novhen#might talk about his children as a companion more but i'll have to finalize names first#should also talk about his wife but i plan to do that while also talking about my surana and amell#it's in the works#also the inquisitor novhen au gets a bit canon divergent so i may have to make *its* own post explaining all the major deviations

Tagged for another round of incorrect quotes by @palepinkycat, went with some of the Dragon Age kids, some came out so perfect they had me on the floor. [Rahna, Trinne, and Gabriel are Wardens; Astrid and Sigi are Hawkes, and Tighe’s an Inquisitor]
----
(love that both times I’ve gotten the braincell one it’s been bang-on. 😂)
#tagged#sigi is mad at me for using her first name xD#and tighe would wear glasses in a modern au so that was funny#also i HAD levyn in here but a) he's not ''technically'' mine being an inquisitor!jowan au and#b) the generator kept being mean to him so i took him out xD#rahna tabris#trinne amell#gabriel andras#(you wanna talk about loved but rarely talked about ocs? he's one of mine)#astrid hawke#sigi hawke#tighe lavellan

best of sara's fic, according to her
Because I’m feeling some kind of way about my cancer lately and wanted to put together a Sara’s Greatest Fic Hits while I’m still around to do it (which is a morbid thing to type, but see the intro: been feeling some kind of way lately).
These range from my most popular fics, to the ones lost to weird posting hours, and everything in between. If I counted correctly, there are 14 fandoms on this list: from Mass Effect and Dragon Age, to Grey’s Anatomy and Stargate SG-1, to The West Wing and Calvin & Hobbes.
I’d appreciate reblogs on this (I am not ashamed to pull the stage iv cancer card here) so it can reach as many people as possible.
I have been writing fic for over 15 years; this is not a short list.
All are rated T or lower unless otherwise indicated. All stories are at or under the 3k mark unless otherwise indicated.
Stargate SG-1:
waves are universal (the heaven in hiding remix) (Sam/Jack; I’m very Normal about this fic; time travel and alternate realities, a host of OCs (and some familiar faces from Norafic if you look closely), oh and the Sam/Jack kid from the alternate reality! Only she’s an adult and working on a way to save the world! This has it all, folks: humor, romance, angst, action! I told you I’m Normal about it; 40k)
strange is the night where black stars rise (Sam; horror! A low creeping sense of doom! The King in Yellow! No, seriously, fuck that planet; 10k)
#sg1wedding (Sam/Jack; their wedding turned into An Event against their will; bets are going down about who would win in a fight: Bra’tac or the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs; also Jack loses his socks; twitterfic from 2012 and technology has definitely Marched On, just read it like an unhinged group chat fic)
phoenix (Sam/Daniel/Teal’c, Sam/Jack, Sam/Jack/Daniel/Teal’c; apocalypse (that I consulted a real live geologist on!); rebuilding in the wake of said apocalypse; team family feelings, kids, and some really shitty neighbors; 38k)
Dragon Age:
joy cometh in the morning (Ariadne; rated M; a host of OCs; mind the warnings; friendship; worldbuilding galore; friendships and mentors and first loves; did I mention friendship and worldbuilding?; 56k)
through the rude wind’s wild lament, and the bitter weather (Ari+Cullen; quiet magic, kind magic, good magic is still new to Cullen)
as the sun kissed the horizon (Ari/Josephine; a relationship in ten moments)
‘til we meet again (Ari+Cullen; platonic sleeping together!)
so hold my hand, consign me not to darkness (Ari; her faith is the core of who she is and, for the first time, Andraste isn’t there; post-Trespasser)
raise your fists up to the sky (Kylie/Krem; it’s Krem’s first day with the Chargers and there’s a naked elf in the middle of camp)
every demon wants his pound of flesh (Krem+Bull; Krem was in the Fade with the Inquisitor and the fear demon had some Things To Say To Him)
black dove (Anaya) & strange little girl (Anaya+Dagna) & dissolving clouds (Anaya+Cullen) (because neurodivergent Inquisitor, friendship, blossoming romance, and three very different takes on blood magic)
skeletons (Zahara+Bull; she is saarebas, he is Ben-Hassrath, and language is important)
children shouldn’t play with dead things (Juliette Amell; she’s always had an easier time with the dead than the living; cw for bugs)
a sorta fairytale (Josephine/Cassandra; flower shop & tattoo parlor AU; 8k)
Mass Effect Trilogy:
gonna set your flag on fire (Nora Vakarian, Liv/Garrus, James/Liara, Liv+Liara, Livfam; action! Humor! Angst! Worldbuilding! OCs!; I am Super Normal about this fic too; I promise everything’s okay in the end, promise, even though it isn’t written yet; Nora is an N3 and has an inactive control chip in her head. She and her team are ordered to investigate a Cerberus facility. It goes, shall we say, awry; 40k)
anthem (Liv/Garrus, Hannah/Zaeed, Liv+Liara; eight months is a long time without each other; angst with a happy ending (I promise); post-Destroy; 13k)
holy ground & dress (Liv/Garrus; ficlets from the night he gets sworn in as Councilor)
brightly shone the moon at night (Liv, Liv+Liara, Liv/Garrus, Livfam; five Christmases in Olivia Shepard’s life; 5k)
the pieces of gold, they light up your eyes & now we’re alone, now we’re alive (Liv/Garrus; the evolution of a relationship)
fighting is said to have reached palaven (Liv/Garrus; please, please let him be alive)
and some things you just can’t speak about (Quentus+Nico; the war)
‘cause i know that it’s delicate (Liv/Garrus; pre-wedding!)
nosce te ipsum (Nico; he likes boys and fanfiction and he didn’t think he’d get his little italicized oh moment)
i will write you love letters if you tell me to (Liv/Garrus; Hannah gives him one of Liv’s notebooks before he goes off to Omega; Garrus does the only thing he can think of with it)
i really need you (Liv/Garrus; James POV during the reunion scene in Priority: Palaven)
you look really tired (Liv/Garrus, Liv+Liara; post-Thessia, Olivia’s not doing well)
hey, so, ground rules (Liv+Zaeed; it’s a lot weird now that he’s dating her mom)
and all the scars you bear are from a previous war (Liv+Quentus; Mom!Liv)
you can hear it in the silence (Liv/Garrus; just a moment, post-war)
this all started because of a bad day (Liv/Garrus; from first meetings to matching rings)
combat, i’m ready for combat & turn on your favorite nightlight (Hannah; she’s a civilian and her daughter isn’t, and she’s bound and determined to know what Liv goes through when her boots hit the ground; Hannah, Zaeed, Liv, and Garrus hit up Armax)
four quarians who never made it back to the fleet (and one who did) (kinda what it says on the tin, honestly. Oh, Tali’s in this!)
everyone’s lost, the battle is won (Evangeline; somewhat predictably, my experiment in getting as many of my team killed as possible resulted in Feelings About It)
across the sky (Susan/Liara; how to make the Control ending feel good)
and yours is in red underlined (Vanessa; The Illusive Man has pissed her off for the last time)
i’m headed straight for the castle (Vanessa; renegade control ending; kneel before your queen)
Mass Effect Andromeda:
for saviours (Tori; ten scenes from a pre-Andromeda life; 10k)
ringing joyful and triumphant (Tori/Liam/Jaal; just some morning fluff)
the thing with the baby angara (Tori/Liam/Jaal; thinking about the future)
the undone and the divine (Tori/Liam/Jaal; the lone single solitary explicit fic on here, give it props for that alone; Liam gets absolutely railed by his partners. That’s it. That’s the fic.)
you’re like the thing that makes the universe explode (Sara Ryder/Suvi, Drack; kid, the only people who don’t know that you like Suvi are people who haven’t met you and Suvi)
this one’s for the torn down, the experts at the fall (Tori+Garrus; one night in the intersection of Victoria Ryder and Archangel; maybe they’re better friends than they both thought)
The West Wing:
a great revelation sigh (CJ; she’s Chief of Staff; ten steps to the apocalypse; the apocalypse source probably didn’t age well, heads up)
it’s in my blood and i won’t give up ‘cause it’s running through my veins (Amy+Andi; it’s Election Day in the future and Amy has nothing to do)
Grey’s Anatomy:
dropsonde (the singers in a lower choir remix) (Addison/Alex, Derek/Meredith, Addison+Derek, Addison+Mark, Mark+Derek; the one that kicked off all the remixes; absolutely off the rails from canon somewhere in S3; budding romances and kidfic and my theory about people being storms and lighthouses; 40k)
scarlet city (Mark/Addison, Burke/Cristina; film noir gangster and detective AU; Addison’s the gangster, Burke’s the detective; literally everyone I could fit into this fic shows up; also Denny is comic relief; 18k)
Misc:
access records (Star Trek Voyager; Naomi Wildman’s holodeck access for the past week; worldbuilding!)
in this twilight our choices seal our fate (the song in the house of night remix) (SVU; Olivia/Elliot; rated M; on the rise and fall of partnership; probably a little too much religious imagery but what the hell else am I gonna do with a minor in religious studies?; 4k)
the end of days job (Leverage; Parker+Eliot+Hardison; the apocalypse job, basically; this one ages well!)
let the only sound be the overflow (D&D; Calia/Kelpie/Edal, aka ot3: fathoms below; the ocean is big and they are not)
we are golden stars above silver seas (we hear echoes from another galaxy) (Calvin & Hobbes; Calvin+Susie; throughout all those years, she never gave up on him; this one went viral on tumblr [LINK] and I cleaned it up for the AO3 version)
lift her, pull her, from the orchids (Grace and Frankie; Grace/Frankie; the one where I invoke the spelling bee)
rocket queens (Babylon 5/Pacific Rim; Susan Ivanova/Talia Winters; look, they’re jaeger pilots, I really don’t know what else to tell you)
the great gig in the sky (Battlestar Galactica; Six; rebirth is painful, she forgets this sometimes)

7 snippets, 7 mutuals
thank you @rowanisawriter for the tag!! i'll tag @theluckywizard and anyone else who wants to share :) lots of dialogue this time around lol:
bodyguard au (cullen/f!trevelyan)
“You’re jealous,” she laughs again, because she’s feeling this insane urge to wind him up. Like maybe it’ll lead to something. Around them, a dozen Cullens purse their lips in disapproval.
“They don’t know what you can really do,” he murmurs.
“And does that frighten you?”
He blinks, something heavy swirling in his eyes and in the air between them. When it becomes obvious he won’t say anything, the dozen versions of her stride away from the dozen versions of him.
“We have an early morning, Enchanter,” he calls out behind her. She wonders what he’s trying to remind himself of with that.
2. a heart that laughter has made sweet (cullen/f!trevelyan)
It’s strange to see Cullen out of uniform. He wears light traveling armor, his wife similarly clad. It’s strange to see Cullen at all, really. He had not realized it had been that long.
“You just missed Hawke,” he says.
“Oh,” Cullen replies after a moment, slightly breathless. Rylen snorts at his visible relief. He nods at the woman next to him, offering a little salute.
“Hello,” she says. She exhales and raises a hand to her brow. In a moment, Cullen moves to take the coat from her shoulders. Again, he notes with a hint of amusement, he had not realized it had been that long.
3. cut down at the garden's gate (hawke/sebastian)
“I wish I could have known you then,” There’s a sharp edge to it, a dangerous current.
“It couldn’t have gone anywhere good. You’re better off knowing me now."
“And you would have taken a bride.” She shifts the topic so suddenly, Hawke. True to her skills on the battlefield, her words aim to disorient and to dazzle.
“I am a younger son. It would not have mattered who I took to wed, as long as they were of standing.” And the truth is, he could never have had someone like Hawke, never would have deserved them.
“I don’t know much about being noble,” she says, slightly more subdued.
“You are noble in the truest sense of the word.” And he leaves before he can act on anything he thought he left behind.
4. ordinary world (miranda & shepard, background shenko)
That’s not exactly accurate. She’s never stopped thinking of Kaidan, or of her crew. He hovers at the edges of her mind like a ghost. Like a specter, true to his name. But it’s the first time she lets herself dream beyond the snatches that kept her alive through the rubble, through all of the surgeries. The first rational thought: what would he think?
Ashley should have lived. She immediately feels guilty for the thought. That Ashley should have lived instead of strong, sweet Kaidan, whom she’s killed a hundred times in her mind. Vaporized by a reaper beam slicing through the Normandy, skull crushed in the impact of a crash landing, shredded by the claws of a husk.
She’s almost jealous. If there’s one thing she can’t seem to do right, it’s die.
5. negative space (pacific rim, mako/raleigh, i really want to finish this soon!)
It was the abruptness of it, really. The violence of his mind ripped from hers, an indescribable sense of loss. Like losing half of herself. No—the truth of it, as the doctor insists. She had been more than herself, and she suddenly had to return to normalcy. To singularity. To loneliness.
She was shaking on that raft, shaking Raleigh, trying to work her way back into his mind, and past the relief of him opening his eyes, all that was left was bitter disappointment.
6. dead winter in the forgotten land (i call this my amell/alistair messy divorce fic)
The paper is the softest thing she’s felt in years. She wants to cry a little when she touches it, unused to comfort. The Inquisitor writes hesitantly, like perhaps she is awed. It makes Amell a little prideful and a little endeared towards her. She means to let it be, but there is something about this letter: how the envelope is covered in dirt from all corners of Thedas while the paper is untouched by any hands but the Inquisitor’s, how the handwriting slants to the right like any good Circle mage’s does, how the ink pools at the end of every stroke like the words were thought over and over. She begins to write back.
I wish to see my king again, she writes, the truest thing on the page.
7. long distance (jab tak hai jaan, akira/samar)
He says he loves his country, but that’s not really why he’s here, taking apart bombs in the dead of night while their fingers go numb. The other day it was snowing, and something detonated, and he couldn’t tell between the insulation fluff and the flakes pouring down, and he was sliced through with something sharp, the sensation of having erred grievously.
There’s a woman in London who loves him. Why the hell is he here?
He ignores it. He tries his best to ignore it. He goes home, and his boss calls. More people are enlisting. He’s had an impact, and it begins to eat at him. It has been eating at him. He was supposed to be a singer. He was supposed to be too soft for this life.
“You would be a horrible soldier,” he says to Akira on the phone the next morning.
“When have I ever wanted that?” There’s a rustling that feels like it’s inside him. She must be adjusting her coat. That bright one with the fur.
“You don’t listen. You’re very reckless. And your decision-making—“
“I didn’t ask for that, either,” she snaps, and the muffled rush that undercuts her words of traffic makes him frown.
“Be careful,” he can’t help but say. A pause—and then she scoffs, but there’s a softness to it, something he would like to think of as fond.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favourite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💕
With the obvious caveat that I would assuredly pick five different fics tomorrow, here you go nonny, in no particular order, and attempting to NOT list just half a dozen Malec things just because they are my Hotel California fandom apparently... But I do have to have at least one for them! #BecauseMalec
out of some dreaming tree: Malec Fairy Tale Quest! A Forest That Eats "People" (and other Things)! Weird eldritch and magical lore!
This AU requires absolutely NO CANON KNOWLEDGE and I keep hoping some of the people who occasionally just read my fic for shits & giggles will try it even though they're not Shadowhunters people. But also more Shadowhunters people should also read it, I had such a great time writing it. 🤣
Vindication: M!Shepard/Jack. Did I mention I have a thing for fairy tales? AND ALSO JACK FROM MASS EFFECT? (I'm love her, your honors)
So it's almost more a series of post-game scenes than my usual prose story style (because Jack POV and that's how she wanted to tell it) and Jack's trying to learn the context of kids' stories, and take care of Shepard who is being kind of a dumb ass but mostly just, yk, trying to recover, and Miranda is Brilliant (even Jack is willing to admit it) and I am very fond of it.
souver'inan isala hamin (weary eyes need resting): DAI, Varric & a Dalish Inquisitor, friends vs family vs love... or something like that.
Having Varric be in your party again, having Hawke's shadow from the previous game spilling over your Inquisitor, was fascinating to me. (Especially as Varric & my Adelaide were family but not ever really friends, and family is a fraught sort of thing for a Tethras and a Hawke/Amell.) Romancing Blackwall and trying to be friends with Dorian, being Dalish and Inquisitor, it was just... prickly all the way through. (In a good way, imo.)
My Inquisitor was also noticeably older than my Wardens or Hawkes had been, much more self-aware and dangerous in a way that the narrative of DAI seldom let me illustrate or articulate, and while I'm not sure how much of that is clear in the fic, I can still feel what it was like for Erana to despise the world she's going to save because she loves too many of the people in it to do anything else, and I enjoy wallowing in that sometimes.
Solace: DA2, Adelaide Hawke/Sebastian Vael, my darlings, my beloveds
While not the first thing I wrote for them, it was the story of their first meeting, and it meant a lot a lot a lot to me when I finally did manage to let it happen outside of my head. Also Sebastian recognizing the Adelaide/Bethany/Carver/Daryn joke made my day when I wrote it and still makes me smile.
Fine Feathers: Yuletide fic! Book!fic, which I don't do terribly often! M/F Regency Romance
An epilogue for The Quiet Gentleman which is, if you are unaware, a novel by The Lady Who Made Regency a Viable Modern Genre almost 100 years ago, which means it has a Very Specific Style and I was very pleased I managed to capture it. (Also it's both one of my favorites of Georgette Heyer's books but also one of the most frustrating, because the lead couple has like ONE HALF OF A SCENE TOGETHER so I wrote them together more and honestly now I like the original book better, which is some hellishly ridiculous hubris but I don't care.)

I have a lot of OCs, so I'm making a list of all of them to keep track of their tags, especially if my special interest ever moves to something else for a while.
All under the cut. For art of any of them, or to just see my art in general, go to my art tag ama doodles, or you can follow my side blog @amasdoodles!
Dragon Age:
-Surana : My main warden for dragon age origins, a young elven woman taken to the circle so young she couldn't even remember her name, and had to be named by one of her friends. Was recruited by Duncan into the Grey Wardens in 9:30 Dragon, leading into a domino effect of her and her senior Grey Warden, Alistair Therrin, to be the sole surviving Ferelden Wardens during the Fifth Blight. Died committing the Ultimate Sacrifice.
-Allyn Hawke : My main hawke, a mage and eldest child of the runaway noble Leandra Amell and her apostate lover and eventual husband, Malcolm Hawke. A very depressed woman due to the events of her life, and currently living on the run with her lover Fenris after the destruction of the Kirkwall Chantry.
Evie Trevelyan : The elf blooded child born from an affair, and sent away to the Circle by her mother's noble family as quickly as possible, happy to be rid of her. Becoming the Inquisitor causes her identity issues to increase to a horrific degree, and she drinks from the Well of Sorrows out of desperation to both have a connection to her and her father's people, and feel like she made her own choice for once.
Katla Brosca : My other Grey Warden, the younger child of Kalah Brosca. In the au she is recruited instead of, or with, Surana, she helps bring end the Fifth Blight, and does the Dark Ritual with Morrigan herself. Her efforts have her declared a living paragon of Orzammar, a title she happily uses to take in other casteless into her House.
Leann Amell : The eldest of five, Leann was the first child of Revka Amell's children to be taken away by the Chantry. She was friends with Surana and Jowan when they were young, all arriving in the Circle around the same time, and even named Surana when the child revealed she could not remember her name. Leann committed suicide in 9:25 Dragon, and her death had a deeply profound effect on the friends she left behind. Surana wears her hairpins as a memento.
Pathfinder:
Layla : A dhampir bard who fled to the worldwound in a desperate attempt to shake off the people sent by her cousin to capture her, only to end up being fucked over by that decision as well. Struggles between giving into her growing embitterment, and with holding onto her optimism the world seems keen to take from her. Azata Path to Legend.
-Her pintrest board
-Her spotify
-Her fake TV Tropes page
Sigrid: A emphyral sorcerer born in the time before the Worldwound was opened, and childhood friends with Areelu's child. After their death, she aided Areelu in opening the Worldwound in grief of her friend's death and anger at the culture that would both prosecuted her for her magic and would kill her friend over it.
Eventually she committed to using herself as the vessel to bring back her friend, but the process fails, leaving her falling onto an aeon as a guiding figure and undoing everything she and Areelu did, unable to host her friend's soul and regretful for what they had done. True Aeon path.
Dungeons and Dragons:
Aurora : A fey creature called a snow maiden, cursed by the Hag Mother to turn into a hag herself if she were to ever to kiss someone, but also to be consumed by loneliness regardless.
Gwynnever Calear : Seemingly a sea elven young woman who is the niece to the ruling King of Azuri. She made friends with people in very dark places, but carries more secrets than one would assume. If you would like to know her whole deal, here's a very long post I made about it.
Balaerra : A half elven drow who grew up on the streets. Desperate never to feel so powerless again, she studied magic feverously, but her desperation may very well lead her to her own ruin.
- Spotify
-Info
Dawn: An aasimar with no memory of who she is, a muddled mind, and a lot of unexplained bloodlust. My other Baldur's Gate 3 ocs, made for a dark urge run.
- Spotify
Giselle: A young woman who was on her way to meet her fiancee when she ended up being taken by the mist. My second Curse of Strahd player character, she is a shadow sorcerer.
Adelaide Oftedahl : From a now dead dnd campaign, she was a noble woman of a country called Agdar, forced to join the Queen's special task force. Came from an abusive home and was not well adjusted because of it, but did manage to romance and change one of the first villains in the campaign, so good for her.
#ama mumbles#amas ocs#for my own categorization#will add others if i remember to or i make one that sticks in my head#i refuse to make seperate blogs bc once the fixation dies down the blog will too so i doesnt feel fair to ppl who might follow it ya know

the post to reblog is so confusing for no reason now. here's all you really need:
what's their name?
are they a warden (canon origin or oc?), hawke (default or custom?), inquisitor (canon origin or oc?), companion, misc canon, oc, or are they from a completely different fandom and have a dragon age au/verse?
are they on a single blog, multimuse blog, sideblog, or a combination of the last two?
that's it. some examples, using my own characters:
ignatius amell. warden (oc). single.
nerien tarenan. warden (oc). sideblog.
garrett hawke. hawke (default). multi.
malcolm hawke. misc canon. multi.
hircine. au. multi.

I've recruited Sera, Blackwall, and Bull.
Solona is meh about Sera, but she agrees with the general sentiment of Red Jenny and decides she can get past Sera's... Sera-ness.
She didn't have high (read: any) expectations for Blackwall. Wardens are a mixed bag and you're more likely to get an ex-criminal than not. But halfway through the conversation ("next time they won't need me.") she had the measure of him and liked him.
She's also ambivalent towards Bull on first meeting. The Ben-Hassrath thing doesn't bother her because hey, she kicked around Fereldan with the current arishok back in the Blight; Bull letting him know what she's up to saves her the trouble.
The words "last loyal mages" left Vivienne's mouth and Solona went Absolutely Not.

#squad for all your thedas kids! photo album, parachute, contact for caes, dai and minah!
thanks dear!! // oc ask meme
#squad: who’s friends with who? what are the squad dynamics like?
okay so I tried to hash out the various canon and AU and DADND worldstates and who would conceivably interact with who and that failed so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
on the DADND side: I don't think caes and minah would ever be friends. caes is way too invested in politics and power for minah's comfort and caes has no interest in petty circus thieves unless they're useful to his goals. maybe with some of those nat 20 insights caes would find something interesting (if he could get past her deception), but you know his prodding would only shut her down faster than iggy could rip a guy's throat out. obviously I want this desperately. in a world where both their histories and motivations were laid bare I think they'd be a lot of fun. still not friends! but a lot of fun
for the canon thedas girlies: warden!lira and inquisitor!vesper would be 30 y/o wine-drinking friends post-Inquisition when they've both mellowed out a bit. they'd get along marvelously well—both stubborn, both exhausted, both inclined to long nights bitching with possibly the only other person in the world who Gets It. the secret shadowy remains of the inquisition have a contact in the Ferelden court and it's the Hero of Ferelden who stops by vesper's house while cullen is busy with the kids so they can gossip and talk politics.
alternate wardens and worldstates: lira and winry amell would not get on well and there would be a lot of clashing opinions but eventual (grudging) respect. lira and kalle tabris would also not get on well but would have a lot of the same opinions, and they'd both be incredibly annoyed by that (probably they should kiss about it). winry and kalle would get along surprisingly well but would disagree on everything. not sure what the alt worldstate inquisitor contingent would be like. rasa gets on with everyone. rosie trevelyan is a two-faced bitch but she gets the job done
photo album: describe one of your OCs’ favorite memories.
CAES — the first time Aneleus turned to him for some public show, the first time he realized there was power in the performance and in being the favorite student—it didn't make the hate or the ridicule or the servitude any better, but the future was suddenly a clear and sharp thing that he could craft with the careful application of performance and perceived duty and a long, slow game of attrition
DAI — that incredibly strange night in monrah after the test of strength but before they set out to find asmeda, before the izzy fight and the mirrors and the castle falling out of the sky and the deaths. even the annoyance of scratch and ozy prompting the mothmen to bother him was undercut by the game of it and zaref stepping in. it was just nice. it was a moment where daichi though, oh, I would be okay if it were like this forever. and then, of course, it wasn't.
MINAH — coming off stage the first time she performed in a show, the utter wonder of being someone else and being loved for that transformation. the orchestra had toasted her that night and that had been a pleasure too, being plied with food and drink and praise and laughter, but nothing held a candle to the magic of disappearing into someone else's face, even if only for an hour or two.
parachute: who does your OC(s) trust the most? who makes them feel safe? who would they do absolutely anything for?
CAES — I don't think caes trusts anyone but I do think there's a certain comfort with deca and knowing that they both know far too much of each other's secrets (something something mutually assured destruction turned into working towards the same goal). he does truly want her on his side, mostly for her skillset and partially because she's become something familiar. besides that, he hasn't much love or loyalty to share with anyone at all.
DAI — at this point he trusts the party the most, and would do anything for them, and feels safer with them around. and his dad, of course. zaref definitely makes him feel the safest, probably, but that's boyfriend privileges.
MINAH — alesso is the person she trusts most at the moment. he's also the person who makes her feel safe, along with a couple other long-time members of the orchestra—people she's traveled with and worked with for years. as for who she'd do absolutely anything for? her sister.
contact: how does your OC(s) feel about touch/physical contact? are they affectionate? if so, how do they display affection to others?
CAES — touch has always been something held over him as a sign of ownership and obligation, and he doesn't particularly enjoy it. that said, he doesn't particularly mind it either. he's happy to use any and all tools he has to his advantage, and sometimes that includes getting chummy with someone. he's not super picky, just vaguely irritated. (he isn't affectionate and doesn't display affection to others, except as a means to an end)
DAI — he's actually a big fan of physical touch, he's just awkward about it. he's pretty straightforward (verbally) with his affection, but he definitely sprinkles physical affection in there—hugs, clasped shoulders, ruffled hair, other small touches. once he knows he has the go-ahead to be physically affectionate he will be, it just takes a while for him to work up to it
MINAH — touch has been part of her line of work these past years (performing, dancing, living in cramped quarters with six to twelve other people, even some of the thievery) and she's pretty at ease with it. she used to be skittish as fuck, but she's grown past that, thankfully. that said, it wouldn't be her number one way of showing affection—she's more about giving people things and keeping an eye out and making herself useful. (I think despite the work she's a little touch starved, and if someone were really properly gentle with her she might have to Take A Moment)
#ah the thedas squad#some of my favorite kids and yet the most frustrating to pin down#I really need to rehash a canon hawke I feel like my og hawke just doesn't quite fit with everything else#anyway#ty for these my dear!!!#minah#daichi#caesonius#memery

dragon age 2 is the best and worst game ever. it has had me in a chokehold since the moment i finished playing it for the first time eight years ago. it makes me so crazy. i can look at fanart for about 5 minutes before my heart rate goes out of control. i've written 70,000 words of dragon age fanfiction because of the da2 characters. my world revolves around varric tethras and hawke and anders and the gallows and orsino and maud and and and. there are 2 things that have captured my autism special interest and that's the sims and da2. i just accidentally put on lungs [2009] by florence + the machine while im writing a post-dai au where an amell cousin from the gallows became inquisitor. and then "im not calling you a liar" came on. come on man

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐄 : asteria amell , dragon age: origins
overview: in the world of thedas, the darkspawn are orc-like creatures who dwell in an underground network of tunnels known as the deep roads. every few centuries, they rise to the surface in a hive-mind attack led by an archdemon. these apocalyptic scourges are known as the blight. out of the darkspawn's tainted essence, enhanced warriors known as the grey wardens were created to kill the archdemon and put a stop to the blight no matter the cost. it has been over 400 years since the last blight, but the fifth blight finally takes root in the country of ferelden. asteria is a newly initiated mage who was conscripted into the order at the eve of the first battle against the blight. political treachery lost them the battle and killed the king of ferelden, as well as nearly all the grey wardens. only asteria and alistair survived. with ferelden's borders closed and political ambitions still taking precedence, these two rookies and their motley crew of unlikely companions are thedas' last hope to stop the blight before it spreads beyond control.
CANON VERSES.
✧ origins : the events of the first game unfold and ultimately end with asteria being the warden who kills the archdemon. she survives the ordeal albeit changed, having incidentally absorbed the archdemon's soul unto her own, a fact that is evident to anyone who sees her violet eyes (as further explained here). [ alt. companion verse ] asteria can be picked up (or snuck out) during the circle tower crisis and join the warden's party. afterwards, she'd either live as an apostate mage or request to join the wardens as a new recruit during awakening. [ full bio ]
✧ awakening / da: 2 : asteria becomes the new warden commander of ferelden tasked with rebuilding the order. however, tensions are high as her survival and rumors of her absorbing the archdemon's soul brew resentment among the ranks. after she vanquishes the darkspawn threat in amaranthine, tensions begin to smooth over. she establishes the silver order and comes the new arlessa of amaranthine (although actively seeking a means to separate the two roles). when the mage-templar war starts, asteria receives an influx of mage and templar refugees alike seeking to join the order. she sets out looking for a cure for the taint so that those who chose this path in desperation could someday reverse it. ( a good crossover verse, since asta's search can take her to all sorts of places even outside of thedas )
✧ inquisition : my default is that asteria gave up her search for the cure and went straight to skyhold upon learning of the breach from a wisp in the fade. this happens sometime after warden commander clarel and the wardens of orlais are killed. after adamant, she becomes the temporary warden commander for the surviving orlesians and leads them in tandem with ferelden's warden forces against corypheus, should the inquisitor accept their aid.
AU VERSES.
✧ greek myth : asteria is the titan goddess of fallen stars and nocturnal oracles. she was a commander leading her father's northern celestial forces during the titanomachy, but was spared from being locked away in tartarus by her daughter, hekate's appeal. after being pursued by zeus, asteria fled to the underworld, and has been nyx's ward ever since. [ full bio ]
✧ dnd / critical role : asteria is the matron of ravens who presides over fate, winter, memories, and death. she was a mortal mage during the age of arcana, but ascended into her position after killing the previous death god. her name and her story has been wiped from historical memory. any remaining legends about her are varied and conflicting, but the one thing that is certain is that she has a disdain for orcus, the demon prince of undeath (or koschei if we decide to integrate his au here too). she actively seeks champions to defeat his undead forces and cult followers.
✧ fae verse : asteria is a faerie from the unseelie court and/or winter court. lots of flexibility here, but my default is affiliated with maeinade's unseelie queen, whom asteria assisted in usurping the previous monarch. she also has a proclivity for sorcery outside of faerie magic that she doesn't frequently employ in fear that it could raise suspicions that she isn't fully fae. [alt. acotar verse] also flexible. default is that asteria is illyrian, secretly a witch, and was one of the girls who joined the ranks in book 3. she fights in the battle against hybern, and uses her magic to save some but unfortunately not all of the illyrians who were caught in the cauldron blast.
DOSSIER
name. asteria amell
diminutives. asta
pronouns. she/her
titles. champion of redcliffe, hero of ferelden, warden-commander of ferelden, arlessa of amaranthine (verse dependent)
age. 19 (during origins), 31 (during da:i)
origin. free marcher (w/avvar roots), identifies as ferelden
etymology. human mage, spirit medium (spirit of command incarnate)*
sexuality. bisexual
alignment. chaotic good / neutral

height. 5'7"
build. athletic & mesomorph
hair. black & smooth as a river stone, usually kept back in a long braid.
eyes. originally blue; now an unnatural violet
scars. multiple faint scars, but the most prominent one is from the arrow she took at the tower of ishal. it sits right on her left shoulder, just below her collarbone, about the size of a coin and shaped like a gnarled silver star. there's an identical one on her left shoulder blade where the arrow pierced through.
scents. rosemary, deathroot blossoms, & bergamot.
abilities / skillset .
entropy & necromancy specialization. the school of entropy deals with spells that attack the life force of an enemy and includes: creating death clouds to drain life energy (which can be absorbed to heal herself & companions), drawing residual spirit energy from the surrounding dead to replenish mana, paralyzing, disorienting, spirit bombing etc. necromancy allows her to call on and bind spirits from the fade to dead corpses and command them to attack on her behalf.
spirit medium . not a specialization that can be learned, but one she was born with. mages can interact with spirits and demons in the fade in their dreams, by physically summoning them with spells, or through their possessed vehicles, but spirit mediums are mages who have one foot in each of the two worlds. they can see through the veil and communicate with the beings on the other side at any given moment.
grey warden abilities . wardens undergo a ritual (the joining) where they infuse darkspawn blood (the taint) with their own. this grants them: enhanced strength, durability, immunity to blighted illness, ability to sense when darkspawn are near, a connection to the darkspawn hivemind controlled by archdemons during a blight. typically, the archdemon can be seen & heard through dreams
archdemon soul absorption . after absorbing the archdemon's soul in the final boss battle, asteria essentially became an archmage, with an increased capacity for mana storage. she refuses to tap into that extra powerbank for a variety of reasons
restrictions .
other schools of magic . asteria was one of the top students of her class in the circle, and had to learn all the schools of magic at some capacity, but in the years since she's become a warden, she's been out of practice, and relies almost exclusively on entropy & necromancy if not her weapons.
high risk of possession. as a spirit medium, she can see through the veil in the waking word, but likewise those entities can see her. demons are often drawn to mediums like magnets and chisel away at their peace until their will is weak enough for a possession.
the calling . while the joining grants wardens increased abilities, it does not come without consequence. the taint is a poison which corrupts and overtime her mind will become more darkspawn than warden. this process is known as the calling. eventually through delusions it draws a warden to the deeproads where they are sure to meet their death or worse. it usually takes up to 30 years after a joining to hear the calling, but wardens, like asteria, who are active during a blight have this process accelerated, bringing it closer to 10 years.
archdemon soul absorption: although asteria has an increased mana powerbank to draw from, she still has a human body and to tap into that powerbank will take a massive toll on her physically. to draw on it completely might actually kill her.
themes. battle cry, imagine dragons / ezio's family, assassin's creed / to the stars, tyler bates / female robbery, the neighbourhood
