it's #wipwednesday again already here's some awakening era andersfic from ser pounce pov because it's fuckin cute #dragonage
Assured that they weren’t in immediate danger, Pounce settled against his human and started to purr, cautiously releasing a bit of healing energy as he did. Humans were so unobservant, Pounce thought, Anders had yet to notice. Pounce’s abilities were different from people, more subtle, as cats exist in two worlds at once: the physical world, and the Fade. They could shift between the two at will, though they did not always keep the same form in the Fade. It was why cats could move unseen when they wanted.

Pounce’s efforts had the desired effect. 

“Shall we go get a little treat?” Anders bundled the kitten up in his shawl, called a puff of light to follow them, and set off toward the kitchen.

bsky fucked up my first attempt at posting this for #wipwednesday so trying again… some horror i started for spook me ficathon on dw a couple years ago that i still want to finish, featuring crowe backstory. i think the prompt was grimoire? #ffxv
“You wanna know why I’m so good at magic?” Crowe asks the group, casually stretching out her legs so the dwindling fire licked at the toes of her boots. She sipped her beer while she waited for a response.

Her friends just grinned; they know this story by heart. But the others on their team looked at each other warily, hesitant to look too openly curious even though they were. She knew they were scared of her wild power, deep down. They should be, for it’s not the King guiding her hands. And her friends haven’t heard the whole tale.

the other thing I’ve been enjoying in this hissing wastes this time around is finding all the lore surrounding the tomb of fairel
the four pillars codex entry: estoris, not only did we find the dwarven tomb precisely where I said we would, the writing on the stone uses a transitive verb found only in scripts that predate 700 TE. It means, obviously, that these ruins were built before the first blight, just as I predicted when we started this expedition. I believe you owe me some gold. Avanthum
Demons of the Stone


-Demons bound into the rock! How did the ancient dwarves manage it without mages? (Binding runes? Subtle properties of stonework? Investigate!)

- "Gangue" carved into walls. Could be translated from Old Dwarven as "Stone waste" or "Impure spirit-of-the-stone." Dwarven superstition, saw demons as "impure" spirits of rock?

- Study impossible with dormant demons. Ask Sephus and Urathus for help with binding.A journal on dwarven ruins

The inscriptions on the ruins are all in the old tongue. (Thank you, Grandmother, for teaching this ungrateful brat Old Dwarven.) The writing talks about "the sad parting from the Stone." Hundreds of years ago, several houses left their thaigs to settle here under one leader. They were running from a war, or running so there wouldn't be a war? I read and re-read the pillars until the light faded, but I know I'm missing something.

I'll go back tomorrow. I wish Felicity's

Back near the brothel door Zhou Zishu used to escape through, there is a cracking of wood, and Liang Jiuxiao is suddenly ejected through the window, skirts flying.

Kiku’s eyes are starting to well up with unshed tears and Izou can’t stand the silence any longer. He asks softly, “Mother, what is it? You can tell us.”

Mother finally speaks, “Your father has been arrested. He will not be coming home for a long time.”
