Typical Caerwyn

[lenna_nightrunner]

I thought I'd share this little anecdote with you guys for the lulz:

In-game Caerwyn has shut Lel down. I have no idea what he did, but that little fuck no longer has the option to romance Leliana. I am given to understand that Shimmy has never done this before, and in fact often has the opposite problem, where Lel keeps falling in love with her PCs!

This is so typical of Caerwyn. Now Shimmy is going to have to help me mod the fscking game so Caer can romance Lel.

What have I wrought?!

I've been converted. Is there, like... a meeting I have to go to?

Anyone who I beta for, or has beta'd for me, knows The Motto. So much as mention Orzammar in your fic, and you'll get a lovely comment in your sidebar containing the following icon:

Regalia - what form does it take in Dragon Age?

[varelishawt]

Okay, so I've been thinking about this on and off - we know that, even though we don't see it in the game, Alistair and Anora presumably have crowns, given all the references to "I'll take the crown". But do the other nobles have any regalia at all? Maybe not as fancy as these collars of office, but something like it for maybe the teyrn and arls? The lower the rank, of course, the less fancy it gets, probably. They also had livery collars, maybe worn by those part of a coalition of nobles.

The reason I'm posting this here is if you guys think it's plausible for the Warden-Commander to wear one, as he/she is also the arl/arlessa of Amaranthine. I think they would definitely wear these things in Orlais, but I am unsure about Ferelden - much is made of the pragmatism and practicality of Fereldans.

Travelling Around Ferelden

[biffmclaughlin]

Random questions as I set the groundwork for a new story. The Wiki is not producing the maps I want to look at today, and here's what I'm pondering:

Am I correct in thinking that Soldier's Peak is located in Highever? Based on the maps I can view, that seems to be the case, but I'm no orienteering expert, the maps are likely on different scales, and one is a hand-drawn representation, so...anyhoo...

If that were the case, how long do you suppose it would take for a party of people with horses and a covered wagon or several to get from Denerim to the Peak, knowing that the path through the tunnels to the Peak have now been cleared and well lit. I want to say five to seven days, depending on the urgency of travel...does that seem "realistic"?

Cheers, 
Biff

Fanfiction: Old Roads: Pitiless Games Chapter Six

[aithne]

Chapter Six continues to be visited by not-necessarily-welcome old friends and has a nefarious plan to carry out, and goes by the title The Mark of the Seeker. (And on AO3.)


Title: Old Roads: Pitiless Games
Rating: M (for the sexytimez, and for occasional graphic violence)
PC: Amell
Word Count: ~51k, ~9.5k this chapter
Spoilers: At this point, it's not so much spoilers as it might not make any sense if you haven't played through Origins/Awakening...
Summary: Amaranthine is destroyed, and Warden Amell travels to Vigil’s Keep to take command. But one either must play the game of politics or be used as a pawn, and like it or not, every last one of Kathil’s demons are about to come home to roost... Amell/Zevran/Cullen, post-Awakening, multiple viewpoints, Part 5 of Old Roads.
Warnings: Horses die on stage in this one.


"Stand behind them," Kathil said to him. "Try to catch them when they fall."

"I think letting them fall over is traditional," he pointed out. The mage was carefully pouring foul liquid from an iron pot into the Joining cup. It moved restlessly, seemingly on its own. "I mean, they let me fall over, and I think we let you collapse as well."

"Yes, and I woke up with a headache that had nothing to do with the ritual and everything to do with the fact that my head hit the ground when I passed out." She grimaced, and looked sidelong at him. "Or was that a ritual lump on the back of the head and double vision I had when I woke up?"

"Had to make sure your head was hard enough to withstand being a Grey Warden." He waggled his eyebrows at her. "Or did you not notice that we both spent a lot of time being hit on the head during the war?"

"That was you. I mostly got stabbed. Or on really good days, lifted into the air and gnawed on by ogres." She frowned into the Joining cup. "Somehow, I remember this cup being bigger."

"You screamed like a little girl."

Random Bites

Title: Winter
Length: about 1400


Winter is in full swing where I live, at least, according to the calendar. Somedays, it flirts with spring, so of course, that means a snow-storm the next day. *sighs and longs for real spring*.

The little fic that follows is just a bit of winter fluff about Zevran and his Warden during the first snowfall of the year.  m/m
It's part of my Random Bites series. Other tidbits can be found at Fanfic: Random Bites.

Enjoy! (And try to stay warm.)

I would like to say that, after three weeks of hell, I have finally finished my vanilla sex scene.  'Normal' Secret Service may now be resumed.

YAY

That is all.
