A note about shipping with me

I probably already ship it

not that I deliberately start rp'ing with people for the purposes of shipping, but if there’s chemistry, if there’s interesting interaction, then yeah, I probably ship it

you don’t have to ship it too; it’s fun to torture the muse with unrequited feelings okay

I will never pressure you into a ship

if you feel like i’m pressuring you, let me know and i’ll do my best to rectify the behavior

if you want to ship a thing, pitch it to me. the answer is probably yes.

that said, don’t assume it without at least mentioning it to me ooc first.

ships are usually in their own seperate verses unless we’ve discussed something else.

if you ship with me I’ll ruin your life

xoxox i love you bbies

“Great, it’s starting to rain...” (((wb pal!)))

The wind had been relentless at best and the ensuing cloud coverage had cloaked the woods in rapidly increasing darkness with dramatic speed. Straining her eyes, Aurelia desperately tried to make use of what little light that remained in an attempt to navigate the treacherous way ahead with light, caution tread.

She took a deep breath, trying to let her other senses take over for what she now lacked in vision. Still, she turned at the voice and though she could not see his face, she would have known the voice of her companion anywhere. 

Not half a moment after he spoke a booming peel of thunder rattled the trees and the sky opened up. The droplets fell heavier and faster until they were caught in a deluge. The elf tried to fight her way forward, each step becoming increasingly labored as dirt quickly turned to mud. All it took was one misstep in the darkness for her to become stuck. Drenched and freezing and utterly exhausted, she could have screamed in her frustration but the storm would have only swallowed that too.

“Cullen?” She inquired, voiced raised to break through. “Cullen. This is hopeless. We need to find shelter.”

And as she fought to free her boot from the muck, she hoped to whatever Gods were listening that he had heard her.

( AURELIA VIRNEHN / @banalras-asha )

❝ i’ll protect you. ❞

At her best, the spymaster’s agent could hold her own, would have chafed at the offer of protection when she was meant to do the protecting. But she was not at her best, not by far. A sprained ankle had made her slow, unable to do anything but stand and fight despite her lacking mobility. She had been grateful for the dwarven woman’s timely intervention.

The elf allowed herself to hang back, slightly behind her new found savior, a dagger in each hand, ready to do her utmost to keep up her end of the fight. “You couldn’t possibly have had better timing.”

          She wasn’t the clean-cut, celebrated heroic type, not by far. Her fighting style was messy, scrappy, and occasionally unfair, and the scuffles she so often found herself in tended to create more problems than they resolved. Sure, she set out to help people, but her people – friends, family, the starving kids begging for a few coppers or crumbs. Those were the fights that put you at odds with the powers that be in any given city, and she’d always been okay with that. A menace to some, a blessing to others. It was chaotic, and it made for great stories. 

          But that was before the sky had been torn open and demons started pissing down like rain on the Storm Coast. Now Topaz was an agent, of sorts: her shenanigans, fights and other misadventures were, for the most part, sanctioned by one of the Inquisitor’s advisers. They never normally trusted her with sensitive information or to meet a noble ally alone, but recon, rescues, and the occasional act of civil disruption in the name of furthering the cause, that was right up her alley. And if that alley also happened to house a beautiful and mysterious elven woman, who was she to complain?

          “Oh, I don’t know about that. Missed out on those blueberry pastries this morning–” She lunged at the Shade, flashing the woman a wry smile as the demon fell to the ground. “So, you get split up from the rest of your party, or is this some sort of solo mission gone awry?” Or the question she always hated to ask anyone: were some of those dark patches oozing across the ground the blood of those who’d been fighting alongside her? 

          “Either way, your hero of the hour is here now, with an archer and a mage who should be reaching the top of that outcropping to back us up anytime now…” Topaz let her gaze wander to the discussed location, wary of the small wave of demons still surrounding them. “That’s assuming they didn’t start bickering or pushing each other up against a tree. I love a good high-stakes kiss as much as the next person, but priorities,” she raised her voice on the last word, yelling in the hopes that her companions would hear her. “In the meantime: four knives are better than two! Let’s get to stabbing some Maker-damned demons, shall we?” 

[banalras-asha]

She used the second of time she had to catch her breath, to soothe the burning in her chest and to assess her newfound companion. Before joining the ranks of those hoping to seal the hole in the sky, she had never seen a dwarf before. Since joining, the encounters had been few and far between and mainly her staring wide-eyed a Varric’s chest hair. This woman most certainly was not the storyteller. She was much more beautiful, enough so that for a moment she wondered if perhaps she had also hit her head and this was all a strange daydream.

Then the woman spoke and broke her from her musings. “My apologies on your skipped breakfast.” A small smirk was hidden somewhere in the soft bow of her lips. Aurelia tossed her dark head at the question, managing a sidelong glance. “Solo mission, I suppose. The blood belongs to those things.” She grimaced. “Most of it.”

Aurelia almost breathed an audible sigh of relief. Back up sounded like the most wonderful concept in the world at that very moment. With a nod and a grin, she raised her swords and lunged towards the demon that was coming very close to her right. A few slashes as she moved her feet with the fluidity of a dancer, and then it was down. “I expect you can keep up?” Her voice dripping with mock seriousness.
