Look at what else I found in the old folder. Drawn by @voidtakeyou and colored by me. I think. I can’t remember. I think this idea came up when I was writing Guarded Love.
Fenris, Zevran Arainai, and Alistair Theirin enamel pins inspired by the romances of Bioware's Dragon Age series.
Some cute pins that I thought some of you might like. So far there is only Fenris, Zevran, and Alistair. Dorian and Bull are the next two that are supposed to be unlocked. My fingers are crossed there will be other romances added later.

DONE!!! after 15h, I am now dead!!
Well cover me in flower and bake me for 30 minutes if this isn’t the absolute bomb!
There’s so much to see here!!! All the small details, the different leather textures and patterns and stitchings… that gorgeous bulge… I mean that beautiful background with the roses and the silver and gold circle ornaments with the perfect lines…
Thank you for putting all those hours of work into this! Your Sacrifice will not be forgotten.
So between follower milestones, a Tumblrversary and you lot being generally magnificent macaroons I thought it was time for a giveaway!
And I know you love beautiful fan art as much as I do so I organised a few sweet prizes for you all:
1ST PRIZE: A coloured & shaded 2-character art commission from @machatnoir
What can I say about Elena and her art that we don’t already know? It’s beautiful, poignant and may I say, quite sexy, too!
2ND PRIZE: A coloured 2-character commission from @ambellinaleander
A rising fandom star, Ambellina has sweetened everyone’s Alistair Appreciation Week and keeps wowing us all with those wonderful pieces she so humbly refers to as “doodles”.
3RD PRIZE: A coloured bust-portrait of one character by @starsandskies
Lúa has been a fixture of both the Dragon Age and Mass Effect fandoms for several years now, bedazzling us with her flawlessly rendered artworks. This is your chance to win one of her gorgeous portraits that she churns out like it’s nothing.
4TH PRIZE: Full set of Dragon Age, Overwatch or Sailor Moon magnets from my Etsy
5TH PRIZE: Full set of Dragon Age or Supernatural buttons from my Etsy
Rules:
To enter, simply be a follower, new or old (but please don’t be a giveaway blog or a p*rn bot- and stay after the givaway because you don’t wanna see me ugly-cry)
Every like and reblog count as one entry (please be considerate). Members of Caboodling with Alistair get an additional entry if they like/reblog cause I love you guys (just let me know your Tumblr if we don’t already know each other). I’m gonna be tagging all reblogs “giveaway shenanigans” and encourage you macaroons to do the same so people can blacklist if they like.
The giveaway will run until 10pm Irish Summer Time on Sunday, 28 July and is all my idea- no affiliation with Tumblr. If you win, please respond to my message within 48 hours or I’ll have to reassign the prize.
Artists’ own terms and conditions apply- they are free to accept or refuse prompts as they see fit (but they’re all friendly and reasonable people so I’m sure you’ll be able to work something out).
Thank you to the amazing artists for allowing me to commission you for this- I’m sure the winners will absolutely love their prizes.
And thank you to everyone who’s been a part of my 3-year Tumblr journey!
Good luck and hugs from Ireland ❤
Whoops, that’s meant to be Sunday the 29th of course!
Just a few days to go!
this was literally all i could think of when romancing alistair
Alistair and the Sext
This one’s for @voidtakeyou who begged nicely for it.
His phone should have been belching flames and burning through his hand. Alistair wiped off his forehead, honestly expecting to find sweat there as he read through her latest string of highly naughty texts. How could she even put these things into words without combusting on the spot?
Digging into his shoulder, he tried to think of a sexy response. Then a witty one. As the seconds ticked by, her winking emoji waiting for something Alistair settled for any response. “You wouldn’t believe how hard I am.” Cheesy, but that was his repertoire, so he ended it with a cheese emoji.
Her response was almost instantaneous, “Prove it.”
“Okay. Not certain how. Perhaps I can find myself a notary…”
“Take a pic, you idiot.”
The little blue box taunted him. Take a pic? A pic of…oh. Oh!
His thumbs poised above the screen, ready to unleash a great joke at his expense when he whipped his head back to the living room. Why not do as she asked? With his phone crammed in his teeth for safe keeping, Alistair yanked off his belt. It and his jeans crashed to the floor.
The boxers soon followed forming a trail of clothing towards his living room. Good thing he lived on an upper floor apartment or all the people walking past to the chemists would get a lovely view of his ass right now.
Spitting out his phone, he yanked his shirt off over his head, the last piece of the puzzle landing on the floor. Fully naked, Alistair worked quick. With his handy twisty lamp acquired cheap out of a box, he aimed the bottom light towards his leather couch. He tried to balance his phone on the upturned lampshade but it kept falling down into the bulb.
An idea struck him and with two rubber bands he tied his phone up good onto the lampshade itself. There was a minor bending to the shade, but his phone look unharmed. A bit ready for some naughty rope play itself though.
Focus. He fluffed up his pillows, creating an incline for his back. Hurling himself onto the couch. With one leg draped to the floor, he eyed up his trouser-less anaconda — ready for its close-up and then some — when he looked at the phone. The reverse image was showing him a lovely view of the top of his head and the ceiling.
Leaping back to the lamp, he twisted it around. For a beat, he made a rectangle with his fingers, trying to eye up the perfect angle. There! Alistair arranged himself back on the couch when another idea struck him. Fumbling for the coffee table, he yanked up a red rose and placed it in his jaws.
What to do with the hands? Uh…
Put them behind his head! His elbows strained higher, helping him to elongate his body and bring out all those muscley bits she’d rave about. Flexed a few of them too.
It was perfect. Now just to…take this damn picture.
With a smile wrapped around the rose stem, Alistair raised his foot higher off the couch. Just out of view of the camera he fumbled with his reach. His thighs started to shake from the stretch, the smile straining, when he finally bumped his big toe into the screen. A still image of him, Red Dragon and all, froze on his phone.
He moved to sit up, intending to take a few more just in case, when someone knocked on his door. Alistair spun on the couch, well aware he was in the all-together. He expected the solicitors to move on, maybe shove some menus under the gap, but the doorknob began to turn.
Yelping, Alistair moved to jam a pillow over his incriminating crotch area, when the door burst open to reveal the goddess of his affections. She whipped her head around wildly as if hunting for something. When her eyes landed upon him, nude and still clinging to the pillow, she smiled.
Her hands already yanking off her top, she said, “You took too long.”
Hard Enamel pins designed to represent your favorite Dragon Age Characters and Romances
Okay, I just wanted to share this with everyone. This is a Kickstarter that is making pins for the love interests in the Game series. So far only Cullen, Alistair, Leliana, Dorian, Iron Bull, Anders, and Josephine are unlocked. I wanted to share because I knew that some of my followers are like me and would love something like this. Click on the link above to find out more information. It looks like they are gong to have pins not just for the love interests but also for The Warden, Hawke, and The Inquisitor. So if you are interested maybe think about pledging.

Alistair Appreciation Week || 2018 Themes!
Yes, we’re back already! And we’ve spruced up our broad themes with some fresh ideas below if you need inspiration. But of course you’re welcome to share any works that fit the respective day. Whether that’s art, text, moving pictures, soundbytes, crafts- we welcome them all!
Monday, 14 May 2018: Join us in the Shadows – Warden Alistair
What are Alistair’s favourite moments from his travels? What does he get up to when he’s not fighting Darkspawn? And just how did he end up lost without any pants…?
Tuesday, 15/05: That would be me –King of Ferelden
Does Denerim have a sole ruler or a royal couple? How are relations with Orlais? Is the palace really haunted…?
Wednesday, 16/05: Hurt and Healing – Angst and Fluff
How upset can you make Alistair in your fanworks? Or do you rather focus on sweet moments of comfort and reassurance? Maybe both? Either way, this is the day for all those feels!
Thursday, 17/05: I hate you. You’re a bad person. – Family and Friends
Alistair as a father, son, half-brother, grumpy grandad- or maybe as Leliana’s shoulder to cry on, Oghren’s drinking buddy… so much here to get creative with!
Friday, 18/05: Cheese Fondue! – Rare and non-canon Pairings
Alibela? Zevistair? You know, those ships you adore so much even though they’ll never make it into the games. Couples, OT3s, OT4s… show them all off!
Saturday, 19/05: Commander Theirin of the Normandy – AU and Crossover
Fashion model Alistair engaging in Zoolander-style walk-offs? Smooth Al croonin’ jazzy tunes for the ladies? Or is he actually a Pokémon?
Sunday, 20/05: Free-for-all! – Open Day
Today we want to see all those glorious creations that may not have fit the other themes. And remember we’re open to all formats of contributions: your OTP playlist, fanmixes, poetry, mods, screenarchery, headcanons, comics, meta, photos of crafted items, gifs, audio files, your Alistair tribute song… if you didn’t post it on days 1-6 we want to see it!
Don’t forget there’ll be two opportunities to get your hands on some great Dragon Age goodies:
a prize draw here and a charity campaign on Tiltify! Stay tuned for more!

Alistair Appreciation Week || 2018 Masterpost!
Yes, we’re back already! Last year’s event was a lot of fun, not least since Alistair’s VA himself, Steve Valentine, took to Instagram Live for an Alistair-centric video chat.
While we can’t promise that will happen again we do want to use the attention this little event gets for a good purpose.
And instead of the busy year-end we’re holding it nearer convention season so we can take advantage of any interesting guest booking (should they happen) for our giveaways!
So here’s everything you’ll need to know:
Themed days (14-20 May): This is where you’ll find them!
Your hosts: We’ll be sharing all the good stuff you send us!
Community: Join, make friends, win stuff!
How to participate: Updated for 2018!
FAQ: Where we’ll post all your questions!
Giveaways: Yes, plural- one raffle and one charity campaign!
There’ll be individual posts on all of these too so don’t worry about missing anything. Signal boosts appreciated!
