Dear Creator!

I'm trying to give some prompts but I'm honestly much more curious about what you come up with. I'm not married to any prompts is what I'm saying and if you find a way of writing for these pairings in any way without hitting a DNW, I will be happy.

I'll be happy with anything romantic or sexual, any content rating too.

General Likes: fluff, smut, feelings, consent and communications, pining, flirting, dialogue, character studies, glimpses into life, funny moments, soulmates

Smut likes: urgent sex, vanilla sex, loving sex in any shape or form, non-penetrative and penetrative sex, fingering, oral, cunnilingus, hand jobs, soft Dom/sub, consensual non-con, sex toys, discovering differences (alien/mystical/monster anatomy), kisses, little funny moments of awkwardness, porn without plot but with feelings, sex pollen, fuck or die

Prompts:

Fenris, always Fenris:
Fenris/Dorian Pavus, Fenris/Merrill, Zevran Arainai/Fenris

I'm obsessed with this elf. He is perceptive, intelligent, and fiercely independent, now that he has gained his freedom. But he also yearns for love, so much! I can see him experimenting with sex, testing his freedom but I think he can't be unemotional with that. As much as he tries to hide under his broodiness, he's got such a passionate heart. There's a lot of potential friction with these pairings and it may at times be painful but I don't see him as intentionally cruel. Unintentionally, maybe, but he would realise and apologise for that.

Solas, the mysterious one:
Dorian Pavus/Solas, Fenris/Solas, Justice/Solas

I'll be honest, I don't get Solas. That's why I would love a fic where I get a glimpse into his mind. He's got so many layers and I would like to see... maybe not exactly a reason why he is like he is, but some honest introspection, maybe? Really, it's up to you, this elf is a mystery to me.

Zevran my love:
Zevran Arainai/Dorian Pavus, Zevran Arainai/Fenris, Zevran Arainai/Merrill

It is a crime that Zevran doesn't show up in DA:I and I would love to see that rectified. But I would also love a fic set in DA2 (DA2 is my favourite game). The point is, I see Zevran as someone who sees and knows a lot more than people like to think. He can be vicious, ruthless, but omg how he loves. And he always protects the ones he loves from the shadows.

Lavellans I need to know better:
Female Lavellan/Merrill, Male Lavellan/Merrill, Merrill/Nonbinary Lavellan

Yes, Merrill in DA:I, I want to see that. Poor Lavellan, thrown into this andrastian organisation, where their own culture and religion is never recognised. And finally, there is Merrill, who they can geek out with over dalish culture and religion, who understands! And Merrill isn't that naive girl anymore, Merrill has lived in Kirkwall for ten years! The worst city of all of Thedas. Merrill probably knows more about shems than Lavellan. I want to see them be smart and cunning and surprise everyone together.

Alright, I hope this was helpful. Just suggestions though, you can come up with whatever you like.

Once more my DNWs:
Non-con, abusive relationships (mentions of past abuse is fine), explicit underage sex, minor/adult relationships, daddy/mommy kink and other ageplay, hard BDSM (some powerplay and spanking is fine but not TPE, no severe punishments), incest, bestiality (meaning cats/dogs/horses/etc-- tentacles/monsters are fine), animal cruelty, infidelity (open relationships, polyamory or separated/estranged couples are fine), mpreg, rimming, fisting, sex involving toilet stuff, bloodplay, vore, emetophilia, foot fetish, excessive character bashing (a character disliking another is fine), homophobia/biphobia/aphobia/transphobia/etc., slut shaming, heavy angst, depressive endings, pregnancy, 1st or 2nd person POV, Modern Girl in X-Setting, school AUs, crossovers unless Star Trek or prompted, mage bashing

I made so many images for my fenders fic Sunset, Sundown, Sunrise, I want to collect them all here.
This fic has been a constant obsession for several weeks now, taking up all my time, even though I wanted to finally write some original fiction. But the muse gets what the muse wants.

A little late but another cross post from tumblr.

Can you believe I forgot about the monthly promo posts? The last one I did was apparently for November. And since it’s Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day 💕, I decided to make a little post about the fics I wrote recently.

So when I look back at the list of published works on AO3 since last year, there’s about 17 fics on there. Seven-teen! Don’t worry, I’m not gonna list them all here, that’s way too many. Let me just show off some highlights, fics I’m especially proud of.

I wrote a couple of original fics for exchanges. I really like the format for these, the prompt is in the pairings and from that you can just go wild.

For the prompt “Detective/Phantom Thief with a crush on her“ I wrote Vanish in Steam. A bit of steampunk, a bit of magical artifact, and a tight closet/wardrobe to hide in.

For the prompt “Chaste Paladin/Silver-tongued Scoundrel“ I wrote A Sin to Seek. Let’s just say, the paladin doesn’t stay chaste for long 😜.

I loved writing for the prompt “Jaded Alien Soldier Stationed To Protect Farming World/Cheerful Human Space Sheep Herder“. I wrote a story from an alien’s point of view, who takes interest in this strange and cheerful human. And there are cat-sheep.

The prompt was “Male Space Freighter Pilot/His Ship's Male AI That Accidentally Became Sentient“ and I made it smutty 😜. I love stories where characters have to explore their differences and it doesn’t get much more different than with an AI that doesn’t even have a body.

For fanfic, we’re still firmly in Dragon Age lands. I updated a few older fics too, I swear, nothing is ever forgotten, just occasionally postponed.

Inquisitor Carver Hawke is still going strong, now entering part two of the tale, with a focus on Merrill asking Solas so many smart questions. Lost Templar in Skyhold will continue soon.

One can not read so many fenders fics and not write one themselves. Sunset, Sundown, Sunrise is a bounty hunter AU, where Fenris is a famous bounty hunter and catches Anders. But of course, things are never easy and when Anders gets taken by templars, Fenris has to face his feelings.

Speaking of AUs, the Alistair x Zevran vampire AU is nearly finished. Destiny's Bite. This fic can be summarized as “pining idiots”.

Fresh from the paragon exchange, another AU. A Trail of Particles is a science fiction AU with Lace Harding pining after Captain Cadash on board of the spaceship Inquisition.

I love AUs 😀😀.

Hello dear creator!

I'll be happy with anything romantic or sexual, any content rating too. I can deal with some angst and don't be afraid to lay on the melodrama but I don't want unhappy endings. Give me happy and hopeful endings. For this polyshipping exchange, with the exception of demons and tentacles (cause they can't really "love", can they?), I want everyone in the polycule to love each other.

I like canon fics, but feel free to twist canon in any way you want. I don't like mundane fics, so if you go modern or scifi, keep the magic in. I'm not a fan of crossovers, with the exception of Star Trek, Star Trek always works.

I like: fluff, smut, feelings, consent and communications, pining, flirting, dialogue, character studies, glimpses into life, funny moments, soulmates

Smut likes: urgent sex, vanilla sex, loving sex in any shape or form, non-penetrative sex, fingering, oral, cunnilingus, hand jobs, soft Dom/sub, consensual non-con, sex toys, discovering differences (alien/mystical/monster anatomy), kisses, little funny moments of awkwardness, porn without plot but with feelings, sex pollen, fuck or die

I'm really bad with giving prompts, please just write what you want. Here are just some thoughts.

The Anders pile

Anders/Male Hawke/Dorian Pavus
Anders/Fenris/Dorian Pavus
Anders/Fenris/Tentacles

I love Anders the revolutionary, who did what he had to do and doesn't apologize for it, even though he sometimes feels guilty for the mage/templar war. I find the Anders/Fenris/Dorian polycule especially intriguing, here you have three men who had to each question their perceptions and prejudices and find ways to respect each other.

The ladies

Leliana/Josephine Montilyet/Cassandra Pentaghast
Female Hawke/Isabela/Merrill
Dagna/Lace Harding/Sera

Can you imagine the powerhouse of Leliana/Josephine/Cassandra? The intelligence, the efficiency!
Hawke/Isabela/Merrill, cute with hidden depth, maybe? Especially Merrill, she's a grown woman and not some naive girl.

The Dorian pile

Dorian Pavus/Male Lavellan/Desire Demon(s)
Dorian Pavus/Cullen Rutherford/Male Trevelyan
Dorian Pavus/Male Hawke/Tentacles

I love it when Dorian discovers that he can love openly and freely, when he learns to let go of the shame his homeland has taught him. I love how confident Dorian is with magic, how natural it is for him.

Just to have everything in one place, here are my DNW again:

Do Not Wants:
Non-con, abusive relationships (mentions of past abuse is fine), explicit underage sex, minor/adult relationships, daddy/mommy kink and other ageplay, hard BDSM (some powerplay and spanking is fine but not TPE, no severe punishments), incest, bestiality (meaning cats/dogs/horses/etc-- tentacles/monsters are fine), animal cruelty, infidelity (open relationships, polyamory or separated/estranged couples are fine), A/B/O, mpreg, rimming, fisting, sex involving toilet stuff, bloodplay, vore, foot fetish, excessive character bashing (a character disliking another is fine), homophobia/biphobia/aphobia/transphobia/etc., slut shaming, heavy angst, depressive endings, pregnancy, 1st or 2nd person POV, Modern Girl in X-Setting, school AUs, crossovers unless Star Trek or prompted, mage bashing

Look who’s back!

I have not forgotten our friend Zevran, the vampire and his freshly bitten pining friend Alistair.

Coming close to the end but I had to add yet another chapter to the prediction.

A tumblr ask grabbed me by the hair and forced me to write a vaguely Western AU fenders fic. And now it's on AO3.

Sunset, Sundown, Sunrise

After being declared leader of the mage rebellion, Anders is on the run. Fenris, famous bounty hunter, catches him. But as they talk, Fenris' view of the mage changes.

A vaguely Western inspired AU with magic and horses, where Fenris didn't stay in Kirkwall after he killed Danarius, so that Anders and Fenris don't know each other well. That changes, of course.

Two chapters so far.

Rating: Mature
Relationships: Anders/Fenris (Dragon Age)
Additional Tags: Past Abuse, Past Rape/Non-con, Suicidal Thoughts, Prostitution, Fenders

This fic is my pride and joy. Lost Templar in Skyhold makes me so happy, you don't even know.

It started with the idea of "What if Carver Hawke, templar and forever the little brother in his sister's shadow, turns out to be the Inquisitor?" and from there it just kept growing.

I tried my best to recreate Carver in the DA:I character creator, using the Trevelyan Warrior base, and I'm playing the game along as I write the fic.
Carver Hawke

Isn't he cute? Read his story on AO3

The fic is at 100k words already and we are currently at the battle of Haven. Yes, I know, barely scratched the beginning of the game and already so many chapters. I swear, I'm trying to be short!

I made quite a lot of images for this fic that I really like, so here are a few:
