In honour of trying to make Bioware drop DA4, I brought a Solevellan song back and remixed it. Thank you to all and everyone who has listened to and appreciated my music. Love forever! xoxo I hope you enjoy!
Lyrics under the cut:
Can you hear the wolves howl?
Sleep, dear Fade Walker
I’ll sing to you in our dreams
Touch me, lost lover
With healing hands bloodier than any other
Fen’harel, whisk me ‘round the woods
Tell me that you want to dance
Your pulse on mine is heavy
Give me a secret whisper. A stolen glance.
The Shepherdess loves the Wolf
(chorus)
He met me in the night
Growling with his jaws open wide
Kissed me like a hunter I prayed, “May the Dread Wolf take me.”
Clawed his way through my chest
Ripped out my lungs and stole my breath
Once he caught my scent, he ate my heart, whispering in my ear,
“Ar lath ma, vhenan.” 2x
He howled 2x
Fen’harel, run
One day I will catch up to you
Take you by the ear and make you mine
Oh, the Shepherdess never cried wolf for he was one of her sheep
Don’t you know?
Lone wolves never sleep.
(verse 2)
He said, “Tell me that you want to dance! Through the Winter Palace I’ll twirl you ‘till the band stops!”
(I’d love to)
Feel your pulse on mine by the river
Give me one last whisper
The Shepherdess hunts the Wolf
(chorus 2)
She met him in the night
Growling with her jaws open wide
Kissed him like a hunter she cried, “Oh! How the Dread Wolf took me!”
Clawed her way through his chest
Ripped out his lungs. He’ll never breathe again.
Once he caught her scent
He ate her heart, now her blood is in his veins
Oh, Ar lath ma, vhenan
Ir abelas, vhenan
He howled to the Shepherdess
He howled

I’m making music….and may be making a solavellan song with lyrics that came to me with help from Chat GPT…..
Is anyone willing to listen if I do post it👀?
#solavellan#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#solas x lavellan#lavellan x solas#curious. I’ve been thinking about it all day. Chat GPT doesn’t do too bad with lyrics. but it sometimes repeats#not words but it does the ‘oh [name] and [2nd name]’ when mentioning a ship in a song#it does that for me at least but YEAH. I might be putting this together

Sleep Token song lyrics that make me want to write a Solavellan fic
"Why are you never real? / Whenever you appear you leave me with that grace / I am trembling with fear / But I know that you will disappear / Just as I awake / Whisper in my ear"
"Well, I believe / Somewhere in the past / Something was between / You and I, my dear / And it remains / With me to this day / No matter what I do / This scar will never fade"
"So let's make trouble in the dream world / Hijack heaven with another memory now"
"Why are you never real? / The shifting states you follow me through / Unrevealed / Just let me go or take me with you"
"Who made you like this? / Who encrypted your dark gospel in body language? / Synapses snap back in blissful anguish / Tell me you met me in past lives, past life / Past what might be eating me from the inside, darling"
"Half algorithm, half deity / Glitches in the code or gaps in a strange dream / Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy"
"Won't you come and dance in the dark with me? / Show me what you are, I am desperate to know / Nobody better than the perfect enemy"
"You cannot watch me ascend / And I know what you want from me / You want the same as me / My redemption, eternal ascension / Setting me free / So I'll take what I want, then leave"
"And just like the rain / You cast the dust into nothing / And wash out the salt from my hands / So touch me again / I feel my shadow dissolving"
"I know, I know, the way that it goes / You get what you give, you reap what you sow / And I can see you in my fate / And I know, I know, I am what I am / The mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb"
"In turning divine / And we tangle endlessly / Like lovers entwined / I know for the last time / You will not be mine / So give me the night, the night, the night"
#sleep token#Spotify#this post has no point#but i just needed to put these lyrics together#i know the fandom is not lacking for solavellan content but there is a fic brewing in the back of my mind ahh

Hozier lyrics that scream Solavellan to me
“Why would you offer her name to the same old tired pain?” -No Plan
“Which each love I could lose I was never the same, watching still living roots be consumed by the flame, I was fixed on your hand of gold, laying waste to my loving long ago” -Would That I
“When I was a man, I thought it ended when I knew love’s perfect ache, but my peace has always depended on all the ashes in my way” -Arsonist’s Lullaby
“I knew that look, dear, eyes always seeking, was there in someone that dug long ago, so I will not ask you why you were creeping, in some sad way I already know. So I will not ask you where you came from, I would not ask and neither would you. Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips, we should just kiss like real people do” -Like Real People Do
“You know better, babe, than to smile at me, smile at me like that. You know better, babe, you know better, babe, than to hold me just, hold me just like that. I know who I am when I’m alone, I’m something else when I see you. You don’t understand, you should never know, how easy you are to need. Don’t let me in with no intention to keep me, Jesus Christ, don’t be kind to me, honey, don’t feed me, I will come back” -It Will Come Back
the ENTIRETY of Sunlight. Think about him waking up from uthenera and cry with me :’)
“Babe, there’s something wretched about this, something so precious about this, where to begin? Babe, there’s something broken about this, but I might be hoping about this, oh, what a sin” -From Eden
“I won’t deny I’ve got in my mind now all the things we could do, so I try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I’m imaging you” -Talk
“If I was born as a blackthorn tree, I’d wanna be felled by you, held by you, fuel the pyre of your enemies. Ain’t it warming you, the world going up in flames? Ain’t it the life of you, your lighting of the blaze?” -NFWMB
“All the things yet to come are the things that have passed, like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass, like the bonfire that burns at all worth in the fight fell too, wasteland, baby, I’m in love, I’m in love with you” -Wasteland, Baby!
“When you move, I can recall something that’s gone from me, when you move, honey, I’m put in awe of something so flawed and free” -Movement
“Deer in the chase, there as I flew, forgot all prayers of joining you” -In The Woods Somewhere
“And tell me if somehow some of it remained, how long would you wait for me? How long I’ve been away” -As It Was
“I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies, I’ll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife. Offer me that deathless death, oh, good god, let me give you my life” “If I’m a pagan of the good times, my lovers the sunlight, to keep the goddess on my side, she demands a sacrifice” -Take Me To Church
“And I have never loved a darker blue than the darkness I have known in you, honed from you. You, whose heart would sing of anarchy, you would laugh at meanings, guarantees, so beautifully. When our truth is burned from history by those who figured justice in fond memory, witness me, like fire weeping from a cedar tree, know that my love would burn with me, we’ll live eternally” -Better Love
“Her fight and fury is fiery, oh, but she looks like sleep to the freezing. Sweet and right and merciful, I’m all but washed in the tide of her breathing” -Cherry Wine
“She moved with shameless wonder. The perfect creature rarely seen, since some liar brought the thunder, when the land was godless and free” -Foreigner’s God
“Honey, I laugh when it sinks in, a pillar I am of pride, scarcely can speak for my thinking what you’d do to me tonight” -Dinner & Diatribes
manifesting these for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf:
“I fled to the city with so much discounted, ah, but I’m flying like a bird to you now. Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted, ah, but I’m flying like a bird to you now. I was housed by your warmth, thus transformed, by your grounded and giving and darkening scorn. Remember me, love, when I’m reborn, as a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn” -Shrike
“When my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth. No grave can hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to her” -Work Song
“There are questions I can’t ask, now at last the worst is over. See the way you hold yourself, reel against your body’s border. I know that you hate this place, not a trace of me would argue. Honey, we should run away, oh, someday, our baby and her momma, and the damaged love she made” -To Be Alone
#no I am not gatekeeping Hozier you can apply these lyrics to your OTP all you want mine happens to be#solavellan#this is honestly just Hozier lyric appreciation I mean#it's poetry#might have missed some#solavellan HELL#really is a hellscape#honestly ignore me I just had to get this off my chest

come on home by franz ferdinand is sooo solavellan coded i mean come one
“although my lover lives in a place that i can’t live i kind of find i like a life this lonely”
and
“blue light falls upon your perfect skin, falls and you draw back again, fall and this is how i felt, and i cannot forget, come on home”
like the constant struggle of solas being like i’m fine i can live without her and the painful yearn to have her return to his home when he rips the veil apart ughhhh
#solavallen#dragon age#dai#solas#brah just listen to the whole song every single line is just raw as fuck#who knew a band named after the guy who started ww2 would have solavellan lyrics

A few of you who were here on tungles abut 6 years ago might remember this Solavellan project I made. For numerous reasons (not least of all legalese ones because I used a copyrighted language in the lyrics), I couldn't and didn't formally release it.
Despite the uphill battle I faced during the creation process, I believed in the underlying idea and had always planned on remaking it into something but didn't know what. A few months ago, I finally just went with my gut and tried a full piano solo. It quickly expanded from the original and got a LOT more feral, but that still suits it.
#firjii's music#piano solo#dragon age fan music#solavellan#i'll tag people tomorrow in a reblog or whatever but for now just want to share it with the world before I forget lmao#also yes i know i need to stop posting stuff at 9pm bc at this point at night the americas are busy and the europeans are sleeping#(yes i'm still anti-spotify but you get the idea - if you see me post a link to big green it means it's also elsewhere or will be soon)

I think everyone who watched the DAVe trailer should go read this Wikipedia excerpt about the meaning behind the lyrics to David Bowie's heroes
Like, this is the same series with the infamous Dragon Age Origins 'this is the new shit' trailer, but there's something very interesting about them picking a song that feels inspiring and heroic but is really about the bleak, naïve hope of two lovers on opposite sides of a WALL then having to come to terms with reality and standing up to it.
(it's also very Solavellan coded but I think that was unintentional 🥲)
#text#dragon age spoilers#dragon age the veilguard#i like this song a LOT and i thought it was a really interesting choice for this trailer#it might be a marketing nothingburger but it FEELS like a deliberate irony really

Solavellan lyrics of the week
“Heartbreak is one thing, my ego's another
I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherfucker, oh
Please, please, please”
Hits differently when I’m thinking about an embarrassed Lavellan who chooses to remove the vallasin during the Crestwood breakup

songfic tag game
got tagged by @kierarhawke, thank you! this was tricky but fun :') anddd a little treat for the followers of my main where u get to hear about my fics lmao
also i cannot make embedding spotify links work lmao so! just popping the lyrics under the cut
Rules: Pick a song to accompany each of your fics or as many as you like. This might be the fic's inspiration or just pure vibes that you'd like to share with readers. Tag as many people as fics you feature (or do as you please!)
Antiquation - series
solavellan; an inquisitor with a secret; shaping the world
false kings - poets of the fall
Parody of a Destiny
solas rivalmance; city elf inquisitor
valkyrie - caligula's horse
tagging let's seeeeeeee @lyriumlullaby-ao3 & @ruthvelyan
trying to tag ppl ik listen to a lot of music lmao <3 as ever, no pressure uwu
false kings - poets of the fall
Getting lost singing their song
Caught up in all I've done
It's all I know, but not what I need
Cut by my love, cut till I bleed
So I want to run to your shelter tonight
Run to the shelter tonight
United in silent resistance
Of bowing to false kings
So let me run to your shelter tonight
Run from this meaningless pantomime
I'll swallow my pride, give up the pretence
Of bowing to false kings
Bought their smiles, liquid and smooth
Took their words for the truth
Edge of light and shade
My broken soul once more enslaved
So I want to run to your shelter tonight
Run to the shelter tonight
United in silent resistance
Of bowing to false kings
So let me run to your shelter tonight
Run from this meaningless pantomime
I see the false kings
I see that all this
Must end
When there's no love in my embrace
Cold blood runs through my veins
If I soar without grace
Do I still soar
I need the love in your embrace
Open doors, brand new ways
End my wars and erase
And I'm yours
So I want to run to your shelter tonight
Run to the shelter tonight
United in silent resistance
Of bowing to false kings
So let me run to your shelter tonight
Run from this meaningless pantomime
I'll swallow my pride, give up the pretence
Yes, I wined and, and I dined on, on that cyanide
---
valkyrie - caligula's horse
Wait
You're holding your breath and not your ground, we're here again
With a head full of war, you need it to fill the fight in your hands
So scream at the wall, an echo calm spits back to say
"I will not falter"
Wait
Pacify, survive, time's no symmetry
You rattle the cage but to be still is not to be weak
And you'll never run until you've got the strength to be on unsteady feet
Collide
Breathe with me
Peace is not your enemy
Call for the Valkyrie
It's not impossible
It's just the end of your reach
This is not forever
Valkyrie
The song inside us all
This is it
You and me
We bleed impossible
Oh, it's alright
Can't you see the wonder in the wait?
It's never too late
It's alright now
Gravity is growth, we're not there yet
Can't you see the wonder in the waiting?
It's alright
Choose the way
Unafraid and the wait hasn't even begun
Together we choose the way (We choose the way)
Collide
Choose the way
You can fight for the quiet, the old war
Together we choose the way (We choose the way)
Collide
Choose the way
The alive will strive to sever
Untethered, we choose the way
We're not there yet
Clinging to the weight of the world
To static, the martyr to pride
But you are the war
The spite and its author
You and I were born unready
To stumble, to see
Peace was never your enemy
Go on and call for the Valkyrie
It's not impossible
It's just the end of your reach
This is not forever
Valkyrie
The song inside us all
This is it
You and me
We bleed impossible
Oh, it's alright
Can't you see the wonder in the wait?
It's never too late
It's alright now
Gravity is growth, we're not there yet
Can't you see the wonder in the waiting?
Oh, it's alright

solas exchange fics!!
this post is criminally late omg but I finally got around to it! This was by far the most fun I’ve ever had with an exchange (not to toot our own horn lmao) and there were so many many many beautiful works created that I’m gonna rec more fics than usual!
My gifts:
strike a match (whisper my name) by @dreadfutures (Solas & Dorian, 8500 words, T rated)
Blood magic. Blight magic. Time magic.
From the earliest troubles of the Inquisition, it is clear that the topics are intertwined, and Dorian is determined to tease it all out. He is, after all, the brightest thaumaturge Minrathous has seen in an Age.
If only Solas would recognize the fact, they might truly get somewhere.
A Dorian pov that’s both delightful and makes you feel things 🥺🥺 Dorian is so very clever, and pushes back juuust enough to get some fun reactions from Solas 👀👀 Also this fic follows them both through-out the inquisition AND afterwards, so that was Fun 👀
-
Fen'Harel and the Halla by sweaterghost (Fen’harel & Ghilan’nain, 2500 words, T rated)
Reality seems to break, as if Ghilan’nain has torn it apart with her hands.
The new creature emerges from that break as if born, bloody and panting on the floor of Ghilan’nain’s laboratory.
And it is horrible.
Or: Solas remembers his friendship with Ghilan'nain and how it fell apart. Told in vignettes.
Some G L O R I O U S horror happening in this fic 👀👀👀👌👌👌Beautiful and dark and visceral, this was everything I could have ever hoped for in a Ghilan’nain fic 👌 gimme more cold pitiless mad scientist Ghil please and thank you
My offering:
shed all your layers (Anders & Solas, 4300 words, T rated)
When Anders returns blearily to consciousness the first thing he sees is the earthy ceiling of a cave, badly illuminated by a nearby campfire. The second thing he sees, when he turns his head, is a pair of luminescent eyes staring right at him.
“Maker!” Anders jerks upright, scrambling for his staff. His magic flares up in a sputtering, flimsy barrier. “What the—who the hell are you?”
The pair of eyes belongs to an elven man, crouching next to Anders, wearing traveler’s clothes and a neutral, calm expression. “Good. I see your body has recovered,” he says, evidently unfazed by both the shouting and the magic. He rises up—and up, and up; this stranger is tall—and turns back towards his campfire. “Do try not to make any more sudden movements though.”
—
Two hermits, carrying their own secrets, stumble upon each other.
well!! I don’t have anything to say about this other that I had an enormous amount of fun writing it! 😂 I never knew how much I wanted these two to snipe at eachother until I had it. Also while Justice wasn’t a significant enough presence to merit his own tag, his ghost haunts the narrative the entire time
special shoutouts to:
where all roads lead by @apostacism/wilderferns (Solas/Female Lavellan, 10000 words, T rated)
"Lavellan sometimes came awake from dreams in which her lover watched her sadly from across an endless distance."
Solas means to stay away. It would be easier in the long run. Yet he turns ever back to her, chasing in dreams what he cannot have in reality.
one of the most AMAZING!!!! solavellan fics I’ve read in ages!!! like seriously if you like this ship and you read nothing else on this list PLEASE give this one a try, it’s so lyrically beautiful and a PERFECT Solas characterisation and honestly I’m still reeling from this fic, it’s gonna be living rent-free on my mind pretty much permanently from now on 👌
-
The Eyes of Gods by @edda-grenade/apfelgranate (Mythal & Solas, 2000 words, T rated)
Pride has grown in power from a mere spirit, in serving as the All-Mother’s messenger. Mythal thinks it should keep growing, but Pride has reservations.
gorgeous gorgeous prose, very atmospheric and evocative and, for the lack of a better term, Mythological TM. Also Solas’s depiction as a spirit in this is one of the best I’ve seen!
-
Celestine Black by @queenaeducan/theharellan (Josephine & Solas, 2400 words, G rated)
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.
as always this author delivers pure gold! a very thoughtful and careful character study both of Josephine and of Solas as seen though her clever eyes. Delightful!
-
in our eternity, only darkness reigns by @rosella-writes (Dirthamen & Solas, 2000 words, T rated)
Solas accompanies the Inquisitor to the Lost Temple of Dirthamen. The experience digs up old memories Solas had nearly forgotten.
SUCH a good, dark atmosphere in this one! Also the Solas Angst TM is unparalleled 👌👌 read this if you want to feel the crushing weight of an unchaning, uncaring world lol
AND ALRIGHT this post is already getting too long so I’m gonna really really super quickly mention some other fics I liked: this Alistair & Solas fic (seeing Solas though a stranger eyes is swiftly becoming my favourite trope ever, and Alistair’s voice here is absolutely fantastic), this Zevran/Solas fic (the flirting!! my god 🥰), this Iron Bull/Solas fic (soulmates au but make it HURT 👌) and this solavellan fic (super ambitious, super intriguing, super pretty!)
okay I’m done!! whoof! also seriously just check the rest of the collection cause SO MANY of the works we got were gorgeous and I only talked about less than half of them!!! go see them for yourself!! and thank you to everyone who participated 🥰🥰🥰

Not really, no.
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
I've had ideas that I made up wholecloth for my DA fics, stolen. I've had plot points that I took from my own life, stolen. I have had ideas, plot points, and headcanons, that I shared in DMs with trusted friends, stolen without permission or acknowledgment. This is different than the headcanons I share that my friends run with and we acknowledge where we inspire each other!!

No! That would be so flattering.
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
Several times!!! Many of my older fics were cowritten actually, it was such a fun pasttime with my friends ;-; i miss it.
14. what’s your all-time favorite ship?
Link/Zelda.
15. what’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I would love to write Ixchel's first life...but it would be sad, and I don't want to.
16. what are your writing strengths?
Lyrical prose, visceral emotions and especially eldritch horror, and conveying sentiments that others have felt personally.
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
Brevity.
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
So, I stopped doing it in my DA fics because the Project Elvhen creator was a bigot and kind of awful actually, and everyone would whine about not being able to understand it and being too lazy to look it up. Now I just write the English but do it in [[italics and brackets]] to convey that it's Elvhen. I think conlangs are different than real life other languages.
But in other places I do things in Spanish, and I just. Leave it. People can and should look it up, or try to understand. Or my characters also don't understand it clearly, so this is a way to convey that feeling. And I think we should normalize just having dialogue in other languages, and leaving it to the reader to put in just a smidge of effort to get it--or not! I think there's importance to reading something without understanding that component but feeling the consequences of what was being said, and also, of reading something and looking it up to understand and get ADDED context.
19. first fandom you wrote for?

I read the most recent fic you have book marked and it is driving me INSANE that that person only has one Solavellan fic and they only upload like once a year.
This person is referencing this absolutely gorgeous one-shot called "some nights (i still dream of you)" by acogna. One chapter, 12k words. Go read it right now.
Sometimes you stumble across the most amazing, true-to-character, lyrical piece of writing that's beautiful in every way... and when you finish it you run to their author page looking for more only to find they did a drive-by of your chosen fandom and then fucked right back off again to write for Phantom of the Opera (although in my experience it's usually Tolkien or Check, Please!). Bullet straight to the heart.

Here are some songs on my Solavellan playlist that make me feel like
for having thought of them, and some of my favorite/thematic lyrics from them. Some of them just fit how i think my lavellan or solas felt.
• Pretend.Relive.Regret by Emarosa
“Take me all this way, And tonight you can stay .
Cuz you know what it feels like. When you've gotten so cold on the inside. Walking away.
And I... I will move on.
And I will move on.
I will move on.
I will move on.
Cuz it takes a while to stop waiting up
To get over the need, your loss, wasting time with you.
But I'll take a life for you
To spend my life with you,
And in the end you always leave.”
• The Moon Will Sing by The Crane Wives
“I could have been anyone, anyone else
Before you made the choice for me
My feet knew the path
We walked in the dark, in the dark
I never gave a single thought
To where it might lead…
The moon will sing a song for me
I loved you like the sun
Bore the shadows that you made
With no light of my own
I shine only with the light you gave me”
• Big God by Florence + the Machine
“Well, you can never know
The places that I go
I still like you the most
You'll always be my favorite ghost
You need a big god
Big enough to hold your love…
Shower your affection, let it rain on me
And pull down the mountain, drag your cities to the sea”
• Love Love Love by Big Thief
“Underneath love
Avoidance and pride
I look you in the face and lie
I tell you I want your love
You're the cigarette in my fist
You are so hard to resist
I can't help but breathe your love…
I'm dreaming of release, my love
Release my love, my love…”
•Delete Forever by Grimes
“Lying so awake, things I can't escape
Lately, I just turn 'em into demons.
Don't you tell me now that I don't want it. I see everything. I see everything.
But I did everything, I did everything
White lines on a mirror, then a song.”
• Savior Complex by Phoebe Bridgers
“You want blood and I promised
I'm a bad liar
With a savior complex
All the skeletons you hide
Show me yours, and I'll show you mine”
• Somebody That I Used to Know by Elliott Smith
“I watched you deal in a dying day
And throw a living past away
So you can be sure that you're in control
You're just somebody that I used to know”
•Wolf by Now, Now
“I would kill to be your clothes
Cling to your body and hang from your bones
But I could make a mark If you would let me start
I would kill to be the cold
Tracing your body and shaking your bones
But I can't sleep at night
I can't sleep at night”
• Allies or Enemies by The Crane Wives
“What happens now? Do we have another go? Do we bow out and take our separate roads?
I’ll admit I’ve had my doubts
But I want to be let in, not out
Are we allies or enemies?
This will be the death of me
This will be the death of me
All is fair in love and war, but I can’t fight with you anymore
This will be the death of me”
• Atrophy for Lethargy by Wayne Szalinski
“My face has grown old, my face has grown old
I'm sick to the stomach and I made it so
My mind has grown old, my body's necrosed
My muscles are atrophied and I made it so
My heart has grown cold, my heart has grown cold
I am a monster and I made it so”
#lmao i will continue to add as i find more#solas#solavellan#solasmance#solamancer#fen harel#dragon age#oc: adahlen lavellan#adahlen lavellan
