nicolina04: Elissa Cousland from 'Forged In Fire' (Elissa)
[personal profile] nicolina04
Title: Forged In Fire
Pairing: You'll see ;)
Rating: M (for violence mainly)
Warnings: uh none - as far as I can tell, anyway.
Summary: We can't always help who we fall in love with. Elissa Cousland's choice in betrothed defied her family's comprehension but for Elissa, he was the man she would love for the rest of her life. But when the Fifth Blight comes, and her world goes to pieces around her, Elissa finds herself torn between duty and desire. Now she’s not sure - not whether she can love him - but whether she should.

Note: I've been posting on Fanfiction.net (as Lady Urquentha - the name sucks but its kinda late to change it after 8 years or so) for the last couple of weeks, so if you recognise the first two chapters, that's why. The third chapter has just been posted today though, so it should be new.

2nd note: Err, I screwed up the tags...how do I fix it? Someone help!

Ingame, you are allowed to take the pelt of a certain Dalish woman turned werewolf. Some of my Wardens have elected not to do so because they know who she was, so to speak. The ones who did take it simply thought of her as another cursed werewolf. I wanted something a little different. So, I borrowed a bit of Zevran's backstory from [personal profile] 1smut_princess and wrote this little piece.

How does one honor the dead? )

An epic battle in the Frostback Mountains challenges the Warden and her party. Who will be left standing?

AN: This piece features my elven mage, Celwyn, who just happens to be one of my favorite playthroughs. My heartfelt thanks to [personal profile] 1smut_princess for her encouragement and her beta reading. I can do grammar, but the creative stuff is another thing entirely. I actually started this piece when I was taking a break during the battle with "Andraste" and finally finished it sometime last night. Constructive criticism is welcomed with open arms.

An AU of an AU? What madness is this?

This was originally posted on the LJ community circle_tower last year, and I just remembered that it exists. So I decided to post here, just in case anyone felt like a shot of depression to make their Monday morning complete.

This is a what-if that starts in Chapter Three of Waking Hours. What would have happened, if Kathil had been just a little later getting back from the Fade, and Greagoir had taken a little more care with his sword?

Warning: depressing. Very, very depressing. Also, if you haven’t read the Old Roads series, it won’t make much sense.

Title: In Another Lifetime
Wordcount: 5500
Rating: T
Warnings: Major character death, and serious depression potential.
Summary: A Grey Warden returns to the Tower, and everything goes very, very wrong.

So I was digging through my random crap folder (no I'm not kidding, that's REALLY what it's called), and I came across a few things that I didn't put in my last art dump post.  So I figured I'd go ahead and drop them in here along with the TOTALLY AWESOME commissions that I got from a friend.  Well actually, they were just sketches, because that's what she was offering;  $10 sketch commissions.  But I cleaned them up and added color to them. 
Warning: Image heavy post... sort of. )

A Dalish-centric AU gen fic featuring two Mahariel Wardens, one bastard prince, and lingering ghosts.


Title: Vir Lath Sa'vunin (We Love One More Day)
Rating: T
Authors: [personal profile] twist_shimmy and [personal profile] lenna_nightrunner
Post Word Count: 3915
Summary: When their parents died, Tesni Mahariel was left to raise her brother Caerwyn with the help of the rest of their clan. True to their penchant for getting into trouble, Caerwyn and Tamlen went hunting one day and ran afoul of a mirror, of all things. The next thing Tesni knew, Caerwyn had been recruited by the Grey Wardens. As if she’d let some shemlen just take her brother away! Determined to keep Caerwyn safe, Tesni goes after them, and antics ensue. She’ll stop the Blight to protect her family, Caerwyn will help--grumbling all the while--and Alistair will do his best to bond with his tattooed and bristly new brethren. When all is said and done, the blurred lines between friendship and blood bonds will draw them down a path that will change all three of them forever.

Oh my dear friends, Ashley is in a wonderful mood today, and I shall share with you why!  Awhile back my dear friend Sarah started offering commissions.  She's a fantastic artist, and since I had some extra cash laying around, I told her I'd love one!  I had just written up the fic bearing the title that this post has, and decided I wanted something drawn from that.

The INSANE woman that she is, she decided to make a mini comic out of it!  It took her a really long time to do, and I am SO thankful and happy with how it turned out.  If anybody is interested, her devart page is on the bottom of the comic, and she's a sweetheart to work with!
Here there be arts! )
This is based toward the end of the little ficlet it's from.

 

Here there be a fic snippet! )

 



The whole fic can be read here if you're interested!  Now let's just cross our fingers that Ashley's technologically inclined enough to post this right without borking the front page... lol.

Title: Bereskarn Skein
Fandom/Pairings: Dragon Age: Origins; eventual Zevran/f!Surana
Rating: ESRB Rating of M for Mature
Summary: Zevran was pretty sure he saw where this headlong rush to end the Blight was going: very far downhill, very quickly. And that was before the Grey Warden who spared his life turned into a bear. Now the only thing he's sure of is that it's not going to end like all the other fairy stories.
Crit: Have at me! Just try and maintain a little tact and sensitivity for my manly feelings... all one of them, eh?
WARNING: Descriptions of torture, MANY deaths, and massive amounts of physical pain. Also an eye scream. The torture is the very first scene, so if you'd like to avoid it, just scroll to the very first horizontal rule.
