Celestine Black
Pairing: Josephine Montilyet & Solas (gen)
Characters: Josephine Montilyet, Solas
Fandom: Dragon Age: Inquisition
Archive Warnings: None Applicable
Other Tags: Classism, Fantasy racism
Summary: Though Skyhold's guests may be of noble blood, their manners often leave much to be desired. When one insults the Inquisition's resident magical expert, who just so happens to be an apostate, Josephine takes it upon herself to remedy the situation. In typical Montilyet fashion.
Written for TheSilentBard on AO3 for the @solas-lovers-exchange
“Apostate!” The word is an accusation upon Lady Verise’s lips, cutting as the shattered glass on the rotunda floor.
Josephine catches no more than a glint in the corner of her eye before she hears it break. By the time she looks it has scattered, broken pieces crawling across the stone like a plague of translucent roaches. Wine slides down Solas’s temple. Thick and viscous, it dries a violent plum purple where it landed on his sweater. The delicate slope of Lady Verise’s nose rather resembles the bellows of an accordion as she snarls in his direction.
The rest of the room looks on in a mix of shock and amusement. A knowing smile curls beneath the porcelain moustache of Lord Maigny, a sure sign that she ought to have expected this. Anticipated it in some way. It had seemed improper, showing off the murals without giving the artist his due, especially not when he stood so close at hand.
But it was a mistake, that much has been made evident.
Solas is the first to speak, dabbing at his face with a paint cloth as he does. “It appears our guest is in need of another glass,” he remarks, in a tone remarkably dry for one so damp. He levels his gaze towards the guest in question, then ducks it, deferential. “You are of course correct, my lady. I have never known the Circle’s guidance, although the loyal mages within the Inquisition have made it their mission to remedy the oversights brought about by a hedge mage’s education. Should you have the opportunity to speak with Enchanter Vivienne while you are here; I am certain you will find her insight as to my insufficiencies invaluable, and how she has endeavoured to correct them.”
Josephine bites the inside of her cheek to keep from smirking (a critical skill for an elder sister and ambassador to possess). Although she possesses no limit to her admiration for Vivienne, she had sat in on one of their discussions long enough to become well-acquainted with Solas’s. Still, if asked, she has no doubt Vivienne will play along. She has tied her reputation to that of the Inquisitions, and undermining that, as well as her own influence within it, is not how the game is played.
“Madame de fer was among the few dissenters in Empress Celene’s court after she invited the swamp witch into our midst,” Lady Verise tsks. “Why would she abide an apostate’s company?”
Seeing the chance to retake the reins of the situation, Josephine steps in. “If I may be so bold as to speak on Enchanter Vivienne’s behalf: Master Solas has behaved with the utmost propriety since joining our ranks. Any reservations we had regarding his position here have long since passed.”

Sometimes...characters being in a romantic relationship is worse.
#text#sometimes it's the most boring way to have characters interact#sometimes it's worse than the chemistry they have as literally any other kind of relationship#sometimes their platonic dynamic is better#sometimes their hostile dynamic is better#sometimes their dynamic is better if it's anything other than romance#because maybe them falling into generic romance is how you ruin their characters.#aro#aromantic#aroace#i only tag these because it feels relevant to why i feel this way

Spurred by a recent disagreement between my ex and I, I want ask;
If "other" explain in the tags, or clarify if something seemingly higher on the list is acceptable but something lower isn't.
I'm actually really curious about this because I'm wondering if my view on this is skewed for various reasons.
Edit: I'm talking about what is considered socially acceptable by modern society. I know it's fine to fuck the homies.

Nothing will ever be as funny to me as doctor who from the masters pov. Your best friend wanders into the woods and befriends a group of squirrels. He decides he will protect that specific tree with his life, even at the cost of your own species. You are the last two humans in the world. You once again try to burn down that fucking tree

For the DADWC: ‘ there is no pain like the pain of transformation. ’ for Solas?
Thank you for the prompt! Written for @dadrunkwriting. I went for some Felassan-induced angst.
In this corner of the Fade autumn leaves fall in perpetuity. A perennial state of decay, they drop from the branches and leave the forest floor awash in a carpet of orange. The knots and hollows of the trees seem to watch Solas as he walks in their presence, vacant eyes following him towards the clearing.
He never meant to come here again, but the smoke sent signals above the forest line, calling to him.
The fire burns eternal in the deepest woods. At its heart the herbs kept the memory of the summer they were harvested in, rich and warm, calling him to a fireside he may have once shared with a friend.
Tonight he sits alone, folding his legs beneath him. The last traces of Felassan linger where he fell, threaded with vain hope for a girl armed with naught but a roadmap of a ruined empire.
In the days after, he asked himself why. Why had he done it? No answer revealed itself. Agents that might have been safe within the folds of the Crossroads went missing on human roads, falling victim to bandits, Templar, and lesser beasts. Their blood watered the soil of his grave, and for what?
His answer came a year later. It came in the voice of strangers calling his name as though welcoming him home. He found it between the pages of a book of dwarven poetry, or dangling in the threads of a Dalish string game. For as often as it inspired laughter, it inspired tears. They sprung from his eyes in moments of solitude, and did not dry until he feared he would drown in their tide.
And yet from one answer begets another question.
“Did it hurt,” he asks the flames, “when you realised?”
It burns brighter, as though his question were kindling cast into the fire’s heart.
Felassan’s final arrow had found its mark. Its tip had speared him, barbed head snared in his ribs. Remove it, and he risks everything he had ever believed about himself. He had no choice but to break away the shaft, and let the wound heal around it.
“Did you know that I would learn this lesson, too?”
His friend does not answer, of course. The forest is silent, the dead leaves lay still.

Something that often scared aspec people is being left out in the cold when all our friends eventually find partners and start families and it leaves us feeling so unimportant and like we always come second place.
But this...
It shows how capable of perseverance platonic love is. It only needs to be strong enough. People can love their best friends just as much as their families. And it can be beautiful. To see this as an aspec person gives me so much hope for the future, I hope rtd knows how much this finale means to so many ace and aro people

Dark Platonic! Fire Nation Royal Family x Non-bender Reader
With Ozai:
At first he didn't accept the fact that you, his youngest child, is a non-bender, and ignored your existence.
That was until he noticed how his older brother, Iroh, spends time with you, Ozai got extremely jealous.
And decided to spend time with you, only to realize that you are his favorite child, and felt like an actual father.
Yes, you can't firebend nor do you even have the ability to protect yourself.
But why would you need to protect yourself when your father is going to be the Phoenix king of the fire nation?
Ozai will burn down the world for you.
"You, my sweet child, will grow up in the presence of a very powerful father"
With Ursa:
When Ursa found out that you couldn't bend, she became overprotective of you to the point of paranoia.
Since childhood, she refused to allow you to play with anyone except Zuko.
One time, one of her handmaidens scolded you harshly for playing outside without your mother's permission which resulted in you bursting into tears.
The next day, that handmaiden was fired and Ursa made sure that she gets no other jobs.
While thinking of escaping, she thought to take you with her.
However, Ozai has forbidden that from happening.
"When you find out the truth, promise to come find me"
With Azulon
While still alive, he made sure you had the best education and guards.
Azulon also made sure to have you believe that the fire nation is without mistakes or faults.
He tried manipulating you into believing that just your loyalty to your people is enough duty.
However, you are kind, too kind.
Yet, he Azulon didn't hate you for it even if he considered a weak trait to have in the royal family.
He also still has the flower crown you made him stored away safely so it doesn't rot.
It is rumored that the last word he muttered was your name.
With Iroh
Uncle Iroh isn't really as possessive as the other characters, but he focuses on advising you from time to time.
You enjoy drinking tea with him and gossiping about everything.
Even though, Ozai has forbidden him from speaking with you, you would sneak behind your father's back to drink tea with him.
After the loss of his son in the war, Lu Ten, Iroh felt depressed.
Yet you managed to comfort him with your cheerfulness and playful attitude.
It reminded him of his son.
"The best quality in a princess is her kindness, something which your sister clearly lacks"
With Zuko
Zuko thought you would be like Azula but you have proven him wrong.
You are kind, gentle, and nurturing just like your and his mother.
That's why Zuko always found himself by your side, being your playmate...being your protecter.
His mother told him that it's his duty to protect you from danger considering that he is your older brother.
Even though Azula has never hurt you, but Zuko was always wary of her, especially after his mother disappeared.
When Ozai challenged him to an Agni Kai, you were the first to cry out and plead with him to let Zuko off, but Ozai felt jealous of your relationship with Zuko and was determined to teach his son a lesson.
However when your brother got banished, Zuko took you with him in secret not wanting you to be left with Azula.
"I know the journey will take long but once I restore my honor we can return home together"
With Azula
Azula was extremely jealous when you were born, thinking that you will take all the attention from here.
But she realized that you deserve all the attention.
You didn't treat her like a monster, you weren't scared of her.
Instead you showed her love and called her 'big sister'
You would cling to her as a toddler, whenever there was lightning, you would secretly sneak to her room and sleep beside her.
"How can you be scared of lightning, we control it, silly"
Mai and Ty Lee saw how Azula softens whenever you are around.
And when Azula discovered that you have left with Zuko, she destroyed everything in her way and burned a few servants.
"She's mine, and only MINE"

"these characters' relationship is just too weird to be platonic" "they can't be Just Friends they're way too weird" "they may not be dating but whatever they have going on is way too weird to be platonic" i'm starting to think none of you guys know what 'platonic' means tbh. anyways, skill issue.
#gav gab#i love bizarre and inscrutable and completely and entirely platonic character dynamics :)#brooooo when are fandoms gonna stop being so fucking weird and reductive about platonic relationships lmao
