Happy Friday! Would love to see Blackwall x Thora Cadash + ‘ love speaks in flowers. truth requires thorns. ’ from the Language of Thorns prompts.

Thank you so much for the prompt! Here's a little something starring Them for @dadrunkwriting

Summer days are the hardest. The world glows, and she glows with it. Not the Mark on her hand, but her smile, her eyes. It’s greedy to think it’s all for him, but some afternoons he’s selfish enough to pretend. She laughs and warns him to mind the thorns as he plucks a flower to hold under her chin, as though he doesn’t fend off pointier ends on a near-daily basis. When the rosebush draws blood, she tends to it dutifully, wrapping his finger with the ribbon she wore in her hair.

He can’t tell her now, and be the one spot of darkness in her world of sunlight.

Autumn days are the hardest. The nights grow longer, and he grows used to the sight of watching her from the bed, studying by candlelight until he passes into dreams. When he wakes, she’s beside him, her hands tucked against his chest to keep them warm. He lies longer than he ought to, the new recruits will stand, blinking in the newly dark dawn, wondering where the Warden could be.

He can’t tell her now, while the night devours the day, and leave her to an empty bed.

Winter days are the hardest. The rosebush lies bare, stripped naked by the first frost of Haring, the thorns black against a backdrop of snow. This is the world at its most honest and ugly, the wind bites and the frost eats bare skin. He’s never felt like a poet, until he holds her in his eyes. Snowfall lies like lace in her dark hair, her eyes still shine like sunlight, and he basks in it a moment more.

He can’t tell her now.

Spring days are no easier. Rain falls against the roof of the barn they’d slept in, drumming like the final notes of Mornay’s life. She’d wanted the truth from him, she’d nearly asked him, and he nearly gave it. But if he told her, she might stop him. If he told her, he might live. He might want to.

He leaves without a note, Blackwall’s badge resting where he once slept. The same badge he’d fished out of the mud with her a year and change ago. He heard the truth in his voice for a moment, only a moment, but she opened her lips and spoke in flowers. His mouth was full of thorns.

14 Days of Dragon Age Lovers

Here’s day four of @14daysdalovers

Day Five: A Kiss in the Rain

Pairings: Thora Cadash x Blackwall Fandom: Dragon Age: Inquisition Rating: G

Lantos used to say duels were like lovers, and if you didn’t end up soaked it was a sure sign you’d had a bad time.

So when the first drop hits her face, she doesn’t take it for rain. Sweat rolls off Blackwall in waves, and she feels its shine on her brow, as well. Their mouths hang open, shouts fueling the force of their swings, dictating the angle of their strikes.

The second drop staggers her, and she looks up. Blackwall doesn’t leave the opportunity hanging, foot hooking around her ankle and sending her into the dirt. A short fall, but her back will be feeling it days from now. “Got you!” he roars in triumph, but the celebration is short-lived.

From the ground she sees the heavens open, rain parting the clouds, which seem to collapse under their own weight. The shield that had worked against her seconds ago now lifts over them both, splitting the rain above her head. “Can you get to your feet, love?” Blakwall asks, and she nods in answer, rising with knees that strain with the effort. “Bloody rain came out of nowhere,” he mutters as she nestles closer to him.

“No. It’s been building all day.” No wonder her joints had been aching before he’d taken his first swing at her. She’d just been too busy to notice. Thora tilts her head up to catch his eye, a grin sneaking over her face as she eyes his shield arm. “Getting tired?”

“I could do this for hours.” His boast inspires a laugh, and she lies her lips across his, the damp ends of his beard tickling her cheeks. She hears his good humour rumble against her ear as he adds, “Maybe all day.”

Read this and future updates here on AO3.
