Dear Black Emporium creator,
Thank you for offering to write for me! This exchange was a lot of fun last year, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.
As far as my requests go, I’ve got a few prompts for each below, to give you some idea of the sort of thing I’d like to read, though of course they are optional details. Feel free to use the canon first names for all Wardens/Hawkes/Inquisitors, or to use your own character’s.
If the prompts aren’t working for you, here’s some other stuff I like: mission fic, battlefield romance, workplace romance; friends to lovers, enemies/rivals to lovers; age-difference or mentor/student pairings; ust, resolved ust; angst and hurt/comfort; slice-of-life, humor & general shenanigans; long-term relationships, future fic; found families; epistolary fic; fluff, smut, & fluffy smut; exploring or expanding on canon/lore.
I do have some themes and elements I’d prefer left out of my gift, unless specifically requested for that pairing. These include: rape/non-con, character death, a/b/o dynamics, character bashing, daddy dom!Solas or Dark!Solas, bathroom stuff, and mundane or modern AUs.
I’d like to note that I am open to receiving art as a treat, but I’d prefer fanfiction as my main gift.
Now onto the pairings and prompts:
Ameridan/Female Lavellan
It makes me sad that Ameridan disappears so quickly after he's freed. I'd like to see him survive and confront what happened to the world, and to his people - with Lavellan helping him with that. Telana was still alive when he went into stasis, so finding out about her death in JoH, would seem like it was just days ago - how does he move on? In a post-Trespasser setting, how would they both feel about Fen'Harel returning? Overall, how would their two drastically different Dalish perspectives clash?
I'm down for any level of romance between these two, from a brief flirtation, to a long-term relationship. Smut, is of course always welcome.
Felassan/Female Lavellan
Again with an ancient elven character, who sadly dies. I love Felassan to bits, and I'm kind of more interested in how he meets her, what she makes of him. If they meet before the events of Inquisiton, does that affect how he treats Briala later? Or, if you want him to have survived, how much does he share about who he is to Lavellan? Are there things he didn't tell Briala? Does he have another name, as is hinted, besides Slow Arrow?
Dorian/Solas
These two clash almost whenever they talk, Dorian trying trying to find common ground, and Solas only eventually grudgingly accepting to talk shop about magic. I like how Solas challenges Dorian, but also how they are utter nerds about esoteric high-level technique and magical effects. Also, despite his otherwise standoffish behavior towards him, when Dorian gets hurt, Solas always sounds so alarmed! Tell me about what he sees in Dorian that he wants to protect him so badly.
For them, I'm kind of looking for a hurt/comfort sort of situation; with smut is good, too. I also would not mind Solas catching feelings and doing exactly what he did to Lavellan, only to Dorian, whom I think would be hellbent on saving someone who still loves him, crazy elf wolf-god or not.
Felassan/Solas
All the elven rebellion angst for this pair. Tell me how they met, what drove Felassan to join the rebellion, who he was before he was Slow Arrow, how he and Solas became close? What made one fall for the other? Or, closer to the canon timeline, was he there when Solas woke? Did he travel with him even briefly, before the event of Masked Empire happened? I don't mind a little blurring of the timeline if it lets the story happen. Did Solas botch killing him, only for Felassan to show up later to make his life difficult?
Female Lavellan/Male Adaar
Female Adaar/Lace Harding
Both of these play into my love of size-differences in couples, tiny badass Lavellan or Harding with their giant Qunari paramour learning how to fit together just right. I'd prefer either Adaar to be very much raised outside of the Qun, navigating a world where they don't quite fit in, even moreso once the Inquisitor title is bestowed.
In the case of Female Lavellan/Male Adaar, I'm not too concerned about which of them has the mark, just that they both survive the Conclave. Perhaps they met on the way there, and afterwards were inseparable.
For Female Adaar/Lace Harding, just give me tooth-rotting fluff, smut where they have to make the size difference work, or Lace helping Adaar adjust to life after the events of Trespasser.
Lace Harding/Bram Kenric
The professor's crush on her is so adorable. How does this dork make his feelings known? Do they exchange letters? Harding travels a great deal, do they make dates to meet up when she's passing through Val Royeaux? What does she think of his research, and does she send him artifacts and objects of interest while she's out in the field?
Ariane/Finn
World of Thedas 2 has a sidebar catching up with this pair, with Finn confronting his parents after they sent bounty hunters out looking for him. How has being out on the road with Ariane, long-term affected Finn? Has she brought him to meet her clan, and how did they react? How does Finn feel about being an apostate, once it's clear he's not going back to the circles? Was Ariane's interest in shemlen pickles a hint that she was pregnant and craving weird food?
Anders/Female Surana
Anders and Surana knew each other in the Circle, but how well did they know each other? Did they have a fling when they were younger and more carefree? How about later, after Kirkwall? Does Surana come and scoop up what's left of Anders and try to help him? Does she stop Hawke from murderknifing him?
Female Lavellan/Fen'Harel/Female Mahariel/Merrill
Okay, this prompt is kind of weird, but bear with me. Maybe this has already been done, but I'd like to see a story where Solas as Fen'Harel is forced to participate in some sort of Dating Game type scenario, much to his embarrassment and indignation, and to the amusement of all three women. Maybe it takes place in the Fade, or is a post-Veil destruction lark, where the world isn't destroyed, and nothing quite goes according to plan. Now he has to placate the different groups of elves he's leading, by allying with one of their own via marriage. Very much want to see all three ladies ganging up on him, having their way with him and with each other for their own enjoyment. Dalish women conquering Fen'Harel and making him beg for mercy, please. :D
Female Lavellan/Original Male Ancient Elf Character
What I'm looking for here is an elf who lived through all the things Solas and Abelas and Felassan did, but has very different perspective on it all. Perhaps he venerates one of the Evanuris or works for one of them, perhaps he is one of the other Evanuris, perhaps he knows things that Solas does not. As far as the relationship with Lavellan, perhaps Lavellan has been through Trespasser and is looking for allies who know what Solas is capable of. Or perhaps she met her Ancient Elven paramour, when she was still with her clan, and certain things about him only add up after she becomes Inquisitor. Still, she's not going to kick him out of bed.
Caronel/Valya
I love Valya from Last Flight so much! She's shy and curious, and yet daring, managing to discover the secret of how the griffons all died out, as well as rescue the last few survivors. It's subtle, but her Grey Warden companion, Caronel, seems quite taken with her, not hesitating to follow her into a dangerous place where he'd already lost friends. Tell me how these two might get together, maybe doing some bonding while dealing with the baby griffons, or Valya becoming a Warden. Maybe go into how they learn to care for the griffons, or even get chosen to be their riders!
