A Warden And A Crow

Just for fun blog for Dragon Age: The Veilguard fanfic snippets and general gushing about my Grey Warden Rook, Naimeryn Thorne, and her Antivan Crow Love Interest, Lucanis Dellamorte.

[awardenandacrow]

Hello! This blog is by Tabitha “Purrmage” Cummings. I’m a traditional mixed media fantasy character artists based in Connecticut, USA. This blog is for me to post my art, screenshots/recordings, and fanfic snippets (and maybe eventually an actual full length fanfic? 👀👀) relating to my first Dragon Age: The Veilguard playthrough with my Grey Warden Rook, Naimeryn “Naimy” Thorne, with whom I’m completely obsessed. She’s romancing Lucanis Dellamorte! This blog WILL feature spoilers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, if you haven’t played it/if you make different decisions. I’m mostly making this because I started posting snippets to Threads, but Threads doesn’t actually organize it’s… threads… very well and people were having trouble reading. I hope this will alleviate that issue!

PLEASE NOTE: I write down fanfic snippets as they come to me, and so they aren’t in chronological order as far as the game is concerned. Additionally, I have not actually finished my first playthrough of Veilguard yet, so there may be edits later to account for things I’m misremembering/things that don’t actually make sense with the actual game, etc etc. this is not an AU, this basically is just my headcanon for how the game went for my Rook, filling in blanks, embellishing scenes to fit her character more, etc.

SPOILER ALERT. If you are not as far into the game as I am/have made different decisions and don’t know what happens if you make the opposite choice, there may be spoilers for you within what I’ve written, drawn, or screenshotted/recorded. Please read at your own discretion.

CONTENT AND/OR TRIGGER WARNINGS: I will try to put any relevant CW/TW information at the introduction of each snippet [I do an introduction to each scene in brackets like this for my own reference, and hopefully it will help readers as well]. I’m not an erotica writer, so if I mark something “mature” it’s likely steamy but not spicy (if I try my hand at spice, I’ll be sure to indicate that, but generally it’s just gonna be steamy. I think that fits the innocence of the relationship between my Rook and Lucanis, anyway, personally). In general, you will likely see mostly a strong language tag, though there is one snippet that very, VERY vaguely hints at SA (it’s intended to be implied, but nothing explicit is said). I hope this will help everyone read and enjoy comfortably!

ADDITIONAL NOTE: Taash’s story arch in the game included them coming out as non-binary. However, before they come out to Rook, they use she/her pronouns. I write in third person, from my Rook, Naimeryn’s, point of view, so the reader only knows what Naimeryn knows, and so, just as in the game, before Taash comes out, she/her pronouns will be used, and then they/them pronouns will be used once Naimeryn is aware that Taash is non-binary. I will also include this disclaimer before any snippets in which Taash is referred to by she/her pronouns.

the way taash treats spite like a disobedient dog is so funny to me. everyone else is so hung up on spite being a demon while taash is like "i'm rivaini. spirits are normal to me and this one is going in timeout if he doesn't start behaving"

Day 1: Origins

"Your brother and I go into battle, not an afternoon tea. Who knows what will happen to us? I trust you completely to carry on the Cousland name if the worst should happen."

Dragon Age Nostalgia Month Day 1: Older blood, older oaths / Origins

Human Noble: Born to wealth and power second only to royalty, you find your training in both diplomacy and battle put to the test as your brother leads the bulk of your family's forces to war in the south.

Dwarf Noble: As the favored child of the dwarven king, you proudly take up your first military command … only to learn that the deadly intrigues of family and sycophants may pose a greater danger than even the battlefield.

Dwarf Commoner: Born casteless in a land where rank is everything, bound as the lackey and thug of a local crime lord, you have spent your life invisible… until chance thrusts you into the spotlight, where you can finally prove whether you will be defined by your actions or your birth.

Magi: Wielding a power as dangerous as it is potent, you know that magic is a curse for those lacking the will to control it. You anxiously await your Harrowing, the one chance to prove yourself against the demons lurking without and within. Succeed, or be slaughtered by the knights who ward against your kind.

City Elf: You have always lived under the heavy thumb of your human overlords, but when a local lord claiming his "privilege" with the bride shatters your wedding day, the simmering racial tensions explode in a rain of vengeance.

Dalish Elf: Proud of your role as one of the few "true elves," you have always assumed you would spend your life with your tribe… until a chance encounter with a relic of your people's past threatens to tear you away from everything you have ever known.

Hello friends! I’m terribly sorry I’ve been somewhat inactive lately; life is challenging me again and so I have not been able to spend as much time with Naimy as I would prefer.

To this point, I’ve been trying to better-promote my art business! This month I’m doing a lot with my Ko-Fi page in particular, and I’d appreciate if you’d help me (and Naimy by extension!) out by checking it out!

First, I’m holding my Fourth Annual Buy A Ko-Fi, Get A Sketch event on my Ko-Fi! Ko-Fis start at just $3, and this month only, buying a Ko-Fi gets you a mystery commission! Check out the pictures below for more details. Just for my Tumblr friends, drop “Naimy” in your message including your address to get an exclusive mystery Naimy drawing!

As an added bonus, I’ve also opened monthly membership tiers this month! At just $5/month, you can join the Postcards From Purrmage (that’s me :D) tier, which gets you an exclusive discontinued postcard design and a handwritten letter from me (not on the postcard) every month! You’ll also gain access to the newly revamped, members-only Ko-Fi shop, in which you can buy discontinued and limited edition prints and postcards you won’t be able to purchase anywhere else. Future print releases will drop to the member shop FIRST, before moving to the general shop after two weeks. This month only, signing up for Postcards From Purrmage automatically earns you a mystery commission as well!

And finally, I always like to include a little disclaimer at the end of these! If you can’t or aren’t comfortable supporting me financially at this time, please consider reblogging this post to help me reach more people! Thank you all for loving Naimy as much as I do and being patient with this real world girl trying to revisit Thedas as often as possible 🥰

Surprise A Warden And A Crow Chapter Drop!

Chapter 23 has actually been finished for some time, but while editing, I got railroaded by a completely unrelated writing project and that has been consuming my brain for the last couple of weeks. I finally found a quiet moment to finish editing though, and now it’s finally ready to share with you!

I hope you’ve missed Naimy (just a little, not too much!) and enjoy :)

For the last day of Lucanis week, I'd like to share something... a sweet secret! 💜

When Rook and their team rescue Lucanis from the Ossuary and bring him to the Lighthouse for the first time, in the first cutscene, they can tell him that they don't want to leave him alone with a demon (if the romantic dialogue option is selected).

Lucanis responds by telling Rook not to worry about him. Normally, the camera is behind Rook at this moment, far away from him, so we don't get a good enough look at his face.

Well, I need everybody to know that this is what Lucanis looks like up close when he responds to Rook:

Just... look at him. 🥰

One of the older girls in my daughter’s dance recital had facial features strikingly similar to Naimy’s and I can’t get the thought out of my head.

What do we think, fam? Could our clumsy, self-conscious queen be a dancer in another universe? Modern college urban fantasy au maybe?

[awardenandacrow]

It’s eating my brain. Snippet and sketchies coming soon.
