"Ser Hawke!" Marian turned around at the child's voice. She looked down to see a small elven boy who looked like he'd been rolling around in dust. He held a note out to her.

"Oh, thank you," she smiled, bending down a little to take the neatly folded note. "Here," she said, reaching into her coin purse to hand the boy two silvers for his trouble. He grinned and thanked her profusely before darting back off into the crowd. She leaned against one of the buildings bordering the crowded marketplace, opening the letter as casually as she could.

Dear Hawke, it started, in a familiar, adorable handwriting. I quite hope that this letter finds you quickly, because I have a bit of a situation at home. Don't worry, it's nothing very bad, but I would just like you to come over before you dismiss my situation because it's a little silly. Please, do not bring your dog. I'm afraid he would not be much help. Your friend, Merrill. Hawke felt her heart squeezing at the letter, the loopy handwriting addressed to her and her alone making her all but physically swoon.

She stuffed the letter into her breastband and left the marketplace without buying anything. She'd completely forgotten what she had even come to buy, but it didn't really matter at this point. She had an elf to attend to.

• • ♡ • •

She always felt a little out of place in the Alienage. Of course, it was partly due to her round ears and overall human-ness, with the fact that she seemed to be at least half a foot taller than everyone a major reason she stuck out like a sore thumb. At least her popularity with the elves was good. They seemed to approve of killing slavers and charity.

"Merrill?" She knocked three times on the door to Merrill's tiny little home. She cringed a little as she heard things banging around inside the house, a little just a minute! calling out from somewhere inside.

The door was yanked open after a second, revealing a disheveled but excited elf.

"Hawke!" She grinned. "You got my letter, then?" Marian nodded. "Come in, come in," Merrill said, gesturing for Hawke to follow. "Oh, I do hope Lord Stubs is at home," she said. "I don't think he would do much good here."

Hawke was glad Merrill's back was to her, not noticing the dumb smile on her face. Then again, Merrill wasn't very observant when it came to people liking her—Hawke knew this fact all too well.

"So... What is it you wanted me here for?" She asked, bouncing on her toes.

Merrill turned to her and smiled. "Wait here, I'll go get him," she said, running off to a corner of the tiny, one-room home. Hawke tried not to pay too much attention to the cracked mirror covered in moving darkness in the other corner as she leaned against the wall. "Okay," Merrill said, positively shaking with excitement as she reached into a small box. "Close your eyes, Hawke."

"If you put a spider in my hand, I'm going to be very cross," she said, smiling as she closed her eyes.

"Oh, I wouldn't do that to you!" Merrill giggled, her light footsteps hardly audible on the rickety wooden floors. "Alright, hold your hands out and cup them." Hawke did as she asked. "Now, be very gentle and don't squeeze too hard."

Hawke felt something light and fluffy being placed into her hands, and jumped a little when it started to move.

"Now," Merrill began, "why don't you-" She was cut off by a little peep coming from the thing in Hawke's hands. "Shush!" Merrill huffed a little. "She's supposed to guess!"

"Uh..." Hawke couldn't help but smile. "Is it... a tiny dragon?"

Merrill giggled. "No, don't be silly, I don't have the time to go searching around a dragon's nest for a little baby dragon!" She paused for a moment. "And spitting little bitty flames might not be so good in a wooden house..."

"Okay, what is it?" Hawke really wanted to open her eyes.

"Oh, just look, silly!"

It was a duckling. A tiny, adorable little baby duck. "Where did you get it?" Hawke laughed, holding the little thing tight enough so that it couldn't escape, yet gentle enough to not crush it.

"Well, I was down by the docks trying to buy some fish, you see, but the prices were too high and I decided that maybe I could go to the boats directly and see if they were willing to sell to me for a lower price. The fishermen are always so kind, really. Well, anyway, then I heard this itsy bitsy little peeping noise as I got closer to the shore," she said. Maker, Hawke could listen to her talk for hours. "So I went over to go look and see what this little peeping noise was coming from. And, what do you know, here's this tiny little baby duck with no mother in sight," she gave it a few pats on the head with her finger, making it peep again. "Well, I gave him a bit of lettuce I had in my bag, and I turned to leave. I figured he had a mum somewhere, but then he started following me!" She shook her head with a sad little smile. "So I scooped him up and brought him home."

"So you accidentally adopted a baby?" Hawke asked, stroking down the little duck's back with her thumb.

"Accidentally," she said, nodding. "So, I figured, you have Lord Stubs so you know how to care for babies. And your last name is a bird."

Hawke wouldn't deny that her mabari was just an oversized toddler with the capability to maim. "Well," she said, shaking her head with an amused smile, "looks like you need to either set him free or get ready for parenthood, Merrill."

"If I set him outside, he'll get eaten! Or stepped on!" Merrill shook her head. "No, no, I can't do that."

"Duck mum, then?"

Merrill gasped a little and smiled. "Duck mum," she repeated, nodding with conviction. "Here, hand him to me, please," she said, holding out her hands. Hawke handed the little guy over as gently as she could. "I'm going to put him back in his box," she said, walking over to the corner. Hawke followed to see the duck's accommodations. "See?" Merrill said as she set him down. "He has water-" She pointed to a shallow wooden bowl full of water that the duckling immediately jumped into. "- and food-" There was a pile of lettuce on a tea saucer. "- and light!" She had a small orb of glowing yellow light floating just over the makeshift pond. "I think he's pretty happy," she said, looking up at Hawke. "What say you, Hawke?"

"Uh, yeah, he seems content," she said, squirming a little under Merrill's adoring gaze.

Merrill tsked, shaking her head. "You're always getting hot flashes, aren't you?" She sighed. "Here, watch the duck for a moment, I'll get you some water."

Hawke nodded tightly as Merrill left. She let out the quietest breath she could as the elf went to fetch her a drink. Lord Stubs was going to have to sit through a long, drunken, love-struck rant tonight. Again.

She sat down on her knees and reached into the little crate, gently running a finger along the duckling's soft back. "Have you thought of a name yet, Merrill?" She asked, not looking up from the little duck that had stopped moving in favor of leaning into her touch.

Merrill hummed as she came over and sat down next to Hawke, handing her a glass of water. Hawke gratefully took it. "I was thinking... No, it's silly," she said, shaking her head. Her ears flopped a little with the motion and made Hawke's stomach flutter.

"Merrill, anything you say would be better than one of my ideas."

"Oh, don't talk bad about yourself Hawke," Merrill cooed. "Well, I was thinking when I was walking him home earlier," she said. "I walked by the stall in the marketplace where you bought me that journal, you see, and I thought of you." Her face went a little pink, and Hawke had to suppress the urge to think about why. "And, it's silly, but I just thought about how your last name is a bird, but with an e at the end..."

"So... duck? But with an e at the end?"

Merrill covered her pink face with her hands, laughing embarrassedly. "I know, I know!"

Hawke grinned, scooping up the little duck as gently as she could. "Merrill!" She said in a high, babyish voice, holding the duckling in front of the elf's face. "I think it's a wonderful name!" Hawke gasped, turning the duckling to face her. "You, too, Ser Ducke?" She asked, grinning. The duckling peeped at her, seeming to be on the same page. Merrill was looking through her fingers at the odd pair, green eyes sparkling. "Well, I think that settles it!" Hawke smiled, holding the fuzzy little thing to her face. "We both think it's brilliant!"

Merrill was shaking her head, smiling. "Hawke and Ducke," she said, laughing to herself. "Oh, what am I going to do with the two of you?" She gently scratched Ducke's chin, and he peeped happily, flapping his tiny wings. "Adorable, the both of you."

Hawke tried to keep her face from overheating, laughing a little awkwardly. "Well, I think he really likes you," she said. "Do you think he thinks you're his mum?"

"Oh, I hope so!" Merrill grinned. "I should make a little sling," she mused. "Walking around the marketplace would be very amusing with a little duck in a pouch." Hawke nodded. Merrill would look no stranger than usual with a fuzzy yellow duckling accompanying her. "I'll wait for him to grow a little bit more before I take him to Wicked Grace night," she said.

"Well, tell me when he's going so I leave Stubs at home," Hawke laughed.

"Oh, he does love chasing birds, doesn’t he?”

"Yeah, I-"

"Oh, Hawke!" Merrill gasped quietly, shushing her. "Would you look at that?"

Ducke had fallen asleep in Hawke's hands, his little head resting on Hawke's warm palm. It was adorable.

"Awe, you're like his second mum," Merrill cooed. "Here, set him down gentle in his box," she whispered.

Hawke set him down, shushing him as he let out a little peep of protest at being moved.

"Doesn't he look cozy?" Merrill asked in a whisper, her shoulder pressing against Hawke's. She held her hand over the little yellow orb of light, changing its colour to a dark red. "There, that should be better. Nice and toasty." She looked to Hawke, a soft smile on her lips. "It was nice having you over," she said, voice quiet.

"It was nice being over," Hawke said slowly, unsure of what to say. "You going to the Hanged Man for cards tomorrow?"

Merrill nodded. "I won't bring the little fella," she said, laughing softly. "So I think Ser Stubs would be welcome. I do enjoy playing cards with him."

Hawke smiled, shaking her head. Stubs was pretty good for someone without any hands. Merrill stood, offering her hand for Hawke to take. Her hands were small and warm.

"See you then," Hawke said, walking with Merrill to the door.

Merrill gave a quick nod, opening the door. The sun was setting, bathing the usually neutral-coloured Alienage in orange and pink. Before Hawke could say her final goodbyes, the words died on her lips as Merrill stood on her toes and planted a kiss on Hawke's cheek.

"Bye, Hawke," Merrill said, a gentle hand on Marian's shoulder.

"Bye," Hawke said, her entire body flooded with warmth.

Maker, Stubs was going to get an earful tonight.

(i was literally about to send you uncharted for the fandom game thing until i saw your ask toke shsjshsh) uuuh how about dragon age for the game? 👀💕

thank you my love!!!!!! 💖 i go crazy over dragon age!!! watch me write an essay about it right now— (thank u for not sending me uncharted it would’ve taken me a week to decide on my answers....)

The first character I first fell in love with:

alistair......my baby.....my sweet little biscuit....i’m love him......he said “you know, one good thing about the blight is how it brings people together” in that voice of his and i was Gone.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:

isabela honestly. i played da2 without much care for her but then like two years on i go crazy when i see something that resembles her Once.

The character everyone else loves that I don’t:

gotta be real i really dislike solas i don’t care that his romance is like tragic or whatever like.....just get with iron bull instead come on he’s fun and tender.

The character I love that everyone else hates:

i’m not sure? i don’t think i have any Problematic Faves about?

The character I used to love but don’t any longer:

i used to really love leliana bc she was baby but she changed a lot by inquisition. i understand it’s bc of character arc and her “toughening up” but i love how like genuine she was in origins i dunno??

The character I would totally smooch:

.........don’t berate me for replying with alistair again.......also isabela. and merrill. and varric but maybe on the cheek. and josie. and fenris. and anders but like awakening anders. and—

The character I’d want to be like:

uuhhh iron bull maybe? he’s very accepting and fun-loving but also has this side where he’s willing to give up everything for those closest to him and that’s just So Good

The character I’d slap:

solas.......meredith.......sebastian is very chantry-based but maybe i’d just hit him in the arm......samson......dorian’s dad......danarius......probably more

A pairing that I love:

literally alistair x warden. any origin. i go crazy. i’ve also seen isabela x merrill recently and i’ve decided i love it.

A pairing that I despise:

have seen danarius x fenris which is No. also dorian x fem!inquisitor. Bad. any kind of hawke on hawke action bc that’s also terrible. ew.

#can u tell that i love alistair?#ill tell you again if you dont quite understand #thank you lauren 🥺#dragon age

Might do 1 Fanfic in trade for fanart art

So I wanna do a trade with one person with artistic skills. I usually do these with @auqroix but they are currently busy with projects and other things. I just love their art a lot hahaha

Anyway I will gladly write a 5-7k oneshot fanfic in trade for fanart. Now I know there are a lot fandoms people can enjoy so I compiled a list below as to what fandoms, ships and characters I can and won’t/can’t do.

•

Fandoms I can do:

- Rwby

- Dragon Age

- Elder Scrolls (Skyrim or Elder Scrolls Online only)

- overwatch

- Mass effect (1-3 & Andromeda)

•

Ships im comfortable doing (most are wlw ships) :

- White Rose (area of expertise)

- bumbleby (dabbled a little bit in it)

- Fem!Warden x Leliana

- Fem! Hawke x Isabella

- Fem!Inquisitor x Josephine Montilyet (experimented with it)

- widowtracer (tracer x widowmaker) (also experimented)

- Symbra (symmetra x sombra)

- Meka mechanic (Brigette lindholm x d.va)

- pharmercy (Pharah x Mercy)

- female elder scrolls character x any female npc (ones you can romance or wanted to romance)

- Fem!Shep x Liara

- Fem!Ryder x Peebee

- Somva (sombra x d.va)

- Fem!Inquisitior x sera

- Fem!Hawke x Merril

- Fem!Shep x Any female character

- Fem!Ryder x Keri

•

Things I won’t do or write:

- M/F pairings (personal reasons)

- M/M pairings (because I’m not a male and I can’t write from a male perspective I’d just make a mess of it)

- Pedophilic ships e.g. Winter x Yang, Cinder x Ruby etc. (mass effect excluded due to aliens having different life spans and laws that considers them “adults”)

- Incest ships (self explanatory)

Ps: If there is a certain RWBY wlw pairing or any other fandom pairing that you enjoy that you want me to add to the list simply comment in the reply section.

If multiple people are interested I’ll have to do a random choosing. As I only have time to one trade.

If you are interested here is a List Of My Work

CONFESSION:

I can never leave Hawke in the fade because Merrill's romance with her means too much to me. Yes I know I am a crazy sap but I just can't help it.

Dragon Age 2 :D

001 | Dragon Age 2

Favorite character: the struggle between Anders and Varric…… GOSH, I’ll go with Anders

Least Favorite character: it’s so obvious, Meredith :| I always hated the Templar Order first of all for the way they treat mages.. And Meredith was terrible, a tyrant and I would punch her in the face

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): omg, here I have just two ships, that is Fem!Hawke/Anders and Fem!Hawke/Fenris

Character I find most attractive: Anders, he stole my heart at first sight.. That handsome little crazy mage *blows kiss up to the sky* wherever you are, Blondie

Character I would marry: Varric, do i have to say why?? *remember his chest* *sigh* b y e

Character I would be best friends with: absolutely Varric ~

a random thought: Anders deserved better 2k4ever

An unpopular opinion: I don’t like Isabela.. Maybe I didn’t talk to her so much to know more about her past etc, but after her betrayl argh just nope *waves her hand* farewell

my canon OTP: Fem!Hawke/Anders, mah beautiful babies ç-ç (even if in my first playthrough I couldn’t finish the romance because I had done some mistakes during the game)

Non-canon OTP: I don’t have one, sorry

most badass character: Anders, again and again, I’m boring I know AHAHAH but he rocks \m/

pairing I am not a fan of: Anders/Fenris, I can’t understand the meaning of this ship :/ They barely suffer each other and I sometimes ship this kind of hate/love pairing, but in this case I don’t

character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): mmh I’ll say Orsino?? He went crazy and ruined everything, but I liked his charatcer.. I suffered during the final battle against him :c

favourite friendship: Varric/Hawke, they’re bros and I just love it ❤

character I want to adopt or be adopted by: I want to adopt Merrill, she’s cute and she can teach me some blood magic(?) bwhuahauahau

Thanks ùwù

Tagged by @fereldanwench and saving this until I had time with my laptop and brainspace. ;)

First ship you ever read fic for: FFXII’s Ashe/Vossler + Vossler/Basch all in one story. Google served it up to me while I was searching for a game FAQ. Changed my mind about fanfic. Dove in. Never looked back.

First ship you ever wrote fic for: FFXII’s Basch/Penelo, writing it as a taboo fucked up mess. ;)

Ship you write the most now: FFVII’s Vincent/Yuffie, with Vincent/Lucrecia + Lucrecia/Hojo playing the in the background.

Ship you read the most now: Hard call. I go through periods of reading everything for a ship and then I stop reading for a while unless I am specifically following a certain group of fic writers and then I’ll read most of what they write, regardless of the ship or fandom. Last night + today I read fanfic for the first time in a very long while (various Yuffentine stories). Have been feeling like reading some dragon age fanfic but not really picky about the ship...

Newest ship: All of my ships are ooooooold ships. Idk. Maybe the upcoming Assassins Creed game: Kassandra and her female LI?

Rare ship you wanna read more of: Dragon Age: Isabela x Merrill.

Your taboo ship: lolololololol. Which one? I only seem to write taboo ships. Or ships that raise controversy. Penelo and the Ronsentwins. Cullen and all those mages he keeps ending up with. Fenders. Yuffentine. Any Lucrecia ship.

They never met in canon ship: Well, Dissidia (or Record Keeper) sort of fixed that because everyone from any Final Fantasy game eventually meets up. But assuming Dissidia never happened: Gabranth x Terra. Oooh, wait, I have another one: Solas x Merrill as a complete clusterfuck.

Your unexpected ship: If you travelled backwards in time 20 years to tell me that I, 20 years later, would be in the middle of writing an EPIC Yuffentine novel, I would have laughed in your face for so many reasons. So. many. reasons. (I did have a soft spot for Yuffie x Vincent but it wasn’t a ship obsession in any way, shape, or form).

The ship you always forget to give love to: Isabela x Merrill, although they occasionally show up in the background in some of my fic

Ship your OC with a canon character (if applicable): Uh... all my Wardens and Hawkes and Inquisitors? So many different ships with so many different LIs. The non-canonical ones include Inquisitor!Merrill x Solas, Cullen/Hawke, Hawke/Seneschal Bran, Cullen/Warden continuing post-prologue, Warden/Nathaniel Howe, and probably others I have forgotten... ;)

A ship you’re embarrassed to ship: Most of them?

Your most romantic ship: Strangely, Yuffie x Vincent, despite the fact that neither of them are good at being romantic, between Vincent’s canonical weird poetic metaphoric way with words and Yuffie’s blundering randomness.

Your sexiest ship: Isabela x fem!Hawke

Your most tragic ship: DRACE x GABRANTH (!!!) which I’ve created as an affair because in my headcanon Drace x Bergan are married and its so messy and OH HOW I MISS THIS TRAINWRECK.

A ship you want more content for: DA2′s Aveline in a variety of different ship configurations. I’d love to see more Aveline x Isabela.

---

Tagging: if you read this and want to play, please do it -- consider yourself tagged. <3
