For #SummerSoT2025, filling the prompt: Anchor I literally never participate in writing prompts like this (and haven't written & posted since April), so go easy on me <3 archiveofourown.org/works/67152451 🏹🖤🛡️ #StoriesofThedas2025 #DAFanFriday #ThomAndMira #DragonAgeInquisition #Fics

A screenshot of my fic on AO3. All text available at the link in the post, but to summarize, it's titled "Anchor" by InkyInGreen, and is a Blackwall/Lavellan angst and hurt/comfort fic (825 words, rated M). Added to my Series, "Our Anchor, Lead and Stone," where I stick all my Thom and Mira fics.

Fic summary: Mira's marked hand worsens, paining her even in sleep. Thom resolves to be an entirely different sort of anchor for her.

#StoriesofThedas2025 Prompt - Anchor Blackwall questions the wisdom of joining the Inquisition and helping them search for Wardens, and considers leaving before anyone can learn too much about him. archiveofourown.org/works/67083397

a screenshot from Dragon Age Inquisition. A female inquisitor wearing heavy armor with a greatsword on her back stands on a rock at the shore of the storm coast. The photo is taken from behind and below, so you can only see her from the shoulders down. She stares out at the water as waves crash along the rocky shore.

I don’t encounter many other games where I feel so engaged with the lore that I’m compelled to analyze sentence structure and potential disambiguations in codex entries. DA is a fantastic series (which has had its stumbles) & it is sad to know this is the truth.

Asteria @asteria49.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Sigh. The thing I found so unique about DA was that it played with unreliable narration & how truth is twisted w/ time & how history is told from a very specific perspective, begging a lot of interesting questions about how to interact w the world which I don’t see in many other games.

I used to think Ilariya (inky) would become a spirit of perseverance (with spiteful tendencies if left unchecked) but after writing her entire story, I rather think she’s a spirit of Change, now.

Quote this with an out of context image that represents your OC, and a picture of your OC

Two screenshots from Parks and Recreation show where Ron Swanson says “yeah, I’m just gonna stay angry. I find that relaxes me,” while he is visibly in pain.

Voidwoken Deep Dweller! 🧶 The Void's been pushed back before, but I doubt it's ever been snuggled. I've been wanting to make one of these for ages, and I'm super proud of myself for seeing this project through. Details in alt text 🖤 #DivinityOriginalSin2 #DOS2 #Larian #crochet #amigurumi #fanart

A crocheted Deep Dweller from Divinity: Original Sin 2. It's lying on its stomach with its arms out at its sides in a "sploot"-like pose. Displayed on a white backdrop, the piece is 24" long (61cm), 7" tall (18cm), and 9" wide (23cm). Crocheted with dark blue and black sparkly acrylic yarn (held double) and stuffed with Poly-Fil, it has several antennae along its head and back (with lighter blues on the tips to give it the appearance of glowing lights), along with fins (in a lighter grey/blue) atop and at the tip of its tail. The front legs end in clawed hands, while the rear legs end in fins.

Freehanding this was a complete and utter pain, but obviously there aren't patterns out there for super-specific fandom stuff like this, so I did what had to be done and tortured the fuck out of myself. Worth it, though!

The same amigurumi from the previous image, seen from the side and facing to the left.

The same piece as in the other images, but seen from slightly above. Unsurprisingly, this was ridiculously difficult to get clear shots of.

We're all trying to cope in these trying times so please do not feel guilty or silly about your hobbies. You are *not* silly for finding comfort in fictional worlds, little distractions, and characters like god knows we could all use joy right now. No one has the right to take that from you. ❤️

Why, no, I’m not at all emotional replaying this knowing that I just wrote how she and Solas greet the end of eternity together in the exact location she stumbled out of the rift from. In the exact location solas first laid eyes on her. Just a completely normal playthrough, mhm. Mhm.

I love this question! Ilariya was sooooooo sus of Solas. She instantly clocked him as hiding something. They had a really tumultuous start and fought pretty hard. It was the adversaries to lovers arc for them.

020

Asteria @asteria49.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

After 10 years Ilariya’s story is finally done and I can’t stop sobbing about it. What a ride. My OTP solavellan, the one OC who has stuck with me the most. 😭

Together, the two spirits greeted the end of time, a single thought echoing through the cold, long dark:
var lath vir suledin.
And so it had.

Ugh. I wish I could play DAI for the first time again.

Asteria @asteria49.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

I’m going to my happy place: imagining Solas and Lavellan laughing and being playful while swimming under the waterfall in the Emerald Graves. Then laying on the riverbank in the sunshine, fingers entwined, and napping.

I like how dark urge's journal is written in 2nd person. "You" do this, "you" feel that, while tavs and origins' journal is written as "I". Durge doesn't have control in his own journal. But when he rejects Bhaal, the journal is written in 1st person. "I escaped", he's free, and his body is his own.

my post VG hc breaks almost entirely with canon. The veil is down. Neither the titans’ spirits nor Solas and Ilariya are isolated. Harding is guiding the titans’ spirits back to the titans with a new relationship w the dwarves. #veilguardspoilers

Asteria @asteria49.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

Time for a joyful hc: After VG Solas becomes very close with Lavellan’s father. He teaches Solas woodworking and Solas then crafts a bow for Ilariya. They sit and chat all the time, exchanging wisdom. Solas learns the meaning of family from him, and trust, and how to just Be.

Digital portrait of Cecilia "Ilia" Trevelyan, a white human woman with dark red hair put up in a bun and hazel eyes. She is looking up, the green glow of the Breach reflecting in her eyes, with lips slightly parted. She is well lit, as if standing on the balcony, with the Inquisitor's Skyhold bedroom seen in the background behind her. She is wearing blue robes with gold details.

It seemed like they were really considering it, too. They had 2 drawings of it and I think a third reference somewhere. I would have been completely devastated.

Asteria @asteria49.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Just thinking about the fact that they were at some point in the ideation cycle they were heavily considering an ending where Solas makes himself tranquil

#tavqotd An unfamiliar person arrives in camp one day with a message for your tav/durge that chills their blood. What was that message? For Lithariya it’s, “Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood. You will never be rid of me. You will never escape me.”

Just wrote the last line of my solavellan fanfic and I am sobbing. Nearly 250k words in total. A decade of her story changing and growing as I changed and grew. Just. Oof. Sending her off like this has me emotional.

They are the embodiment of tranquility, the definition of repose, the personification of contentedness, and the muses for Love. She kisses his freckles and he braids her hair to keep it from blanketing her neck.

Solas and Lavellan lounging and reading together under the shade of the trees in the Emerald Graves. Sunlight dapples their cheeks and shoulders. They do not speak, but they do not need to— they can feel the love in the air around them. They lazily get up and swim in the river then return to snack 🧵

I am deeply unwell, actually.

You're cold, Solas gently tapped against her arm.
He draped a blanket over her shoulders then wound his arms around her. After a few minutes of silence, he continued. You need not remain here.
I want to, she assured him. And it was the truth.
She wanted to be here with Solas. She wanted to paint the history and dreams of the titans. She just didn't know who she was anymore.
That, I can answer, he tapped against her navel as he nuzzled his face into her neck. You love the smell of the rain in autumn. You love strolling through the heavy fog in a lush forest. You love the quiet of the trees, the chirps and birdsong as you read. You are resilient and passionate and fiery.
You are graceful and cunning. You want better and you'll do whatever it takes to get it. Yes, things have changed. You have changed. You will continue to change. Eternity is a long time, but you will always be llariya Lavellan, the woman I fell in love with, the woman who bewitched me body and spirit, the woman to whom my heart will always belong.

Asteria @asteria49.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

OMG YES THE LETTER OF ALL TIME: “You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own” IT IS SO SOLAS CODED
