Calling all dashing rogues and alluring accomplices! Scouts and bards and Crows of Antiva! The first annual DA Rogues Week is upon us! The event is to take place during the week of April 1st (Mar. 29th - Apr. 4th) and is a chance to celebrate all the rogue characters of Dragon Age through fic, art, and whatever other forms of fan content may tickle your fancy.
We're here to celebrate all rogues, not just our companions. OCs, allies, enemies, and anything in between are all welcome here. If it's a list of rogues you're after, may I direct your attention to this wiki page. Alternatively, if you're having trouble picking one from the line up, I would like to offer you a humble spinner wheel of some of the better known options to lend you a hand (Veilguard-free version here).
Closer to the event, we will be sharing a link to a collection on AO3 open to any work published for this event. If we miss sending you your invitation, please feel free to invite yourself or send us a message letting us know.
Come March, we will also be posting a poll every Monday leading up to the event. We hope to see you there~
Rules can be found below the cut 🗡️
Rules
A rogue should be one of/the primary focus of the piece, but non-rogues are still allowed to feature. After all, where would we be without our handsome warriors to take fireballs to the face in our place?
Original and canon characters are both welcome.
All types of fanworks are welcome, whether that be fic or art or something more niche.
You never know what old trends will come back into fashion. Old works can be submitted so long as they still fit the prompts.
We may be thieves here, but AI generated content is not in the spirit of this event and will not be reblogged.
If you want the blog to reblog your work, please mention us @da-rogues-week or tag the post with #daroguesweek26
If you have any questions about the rules, leave an ask or reply, and we can elaborate in more plain speech.
Warden's search for a Cure was an excuse for Frey to distance himself from Warden Commander's responsibilities. Unexpectedly, the idea captured Zev's interest, who started his own studies on the taint.
Redraw of a very, very old sketch found in some forgotten folder on my laptop.
(In game, Zev is the only companion with predefined tactics to protect and rescue the Warden, and I'm always in awe seeing him returning to fight side by side with Frey).
Hiding on the outskirts of Kirkwall from Nuncio, Zevran had the opportunity to get to know Sabrae clan better and to befriend some of its members. Master Ilen even used to share with him some of the craft works Frey had been working on shortly before he had left the clan.
Frey doubted Zevran would accept such gifts without any conditions or expectations attached. So he decided to "hire" him, the only person he truly trusted with his life, to never let get lost himself in the Calling.
Frey never coped with joining the Grey Wardens. It was like losing control over his life, and he was terrified to share Tamlen's and commander Sophia's fate.
What is it? ZevWarden week is a prompted week event to celebrate Zevran Arainai and his beloved Warden. We will be sharing newly created fan works during the event! Please keep in mind this event is 18+!

Sunday, August 17: Wealth, gold, relationship with money

Tuesday, August 19: Bondage, bdsm
Wednesday, August 20: Loyalty
Thursday, August 21: Purpose

Day 1 - Sunday, August 17 - Wealth, gold, relationship with money
"Ahh, an untouched treasure! What wonders await us here?"
How well-off are Zev and the warden after the Blight? Do they come across any trove of wealth or do they live modestly? What is their relationship to money? Do they pamper each other? What is your HC for the Warden giving Zev the bars of gold we see in canon?
Day 2 - Monday, August 18 - Family, legacy
"And what of family? Of children? Life does not begin and end with yourself."
What are their thoughts on children? Do Zev and the warden ever have or adopt any of their own? If so, what kind of parents are they? If not, are they ever around other people's children?
Day 3 - Tuesday, August 19 - Bondage, BDSM
"Are you sure you do not wish to tie me up? Not even a little?"
Do you HC Zev as saying such things as flippant jokes or as real interest and desire? Do Zev and the warden get up to any kinds of kink? What are their preferences in that department? How do they develop that kind of intimate relationship?
Day 4 - Wednesday, August 20 - Loyalty
"I am a very loyal person. Up until the point where someone expects me to die for failing."
Was Zev loyal to the warden from the very moment he promised to help them, or does that loyalty develop with time? Is that loyalty ever tested? What about the other way around? Is the warden loyal to Zev from the start, or are they suspicious of him at first? If so, when does that change?
Day 5 - Thursday, August 21 - Purpose
"What we are doing here...stopping the Blight. I cannot think of anything i have ever done which is so worthy."
At what point does Zev start thinking that what they're doing is truly worthwhile? In what ways aside from fighting does he support the warden through such an insurmountable task? How does he feel, when it's all over? Does he recognise the part he played or does he see himself as a sidekick?
Day 6 - Friday, August 22 - Growth, reform
"My name is Zevran Arainai, adventurer and occasional assassin."
When does Zev go from calling himself an Antivan Crow to seeing himself as an adventurer? What does ‘occasional assassin’ look like in your HCs? What contracts does he still take? Do Zev and the warden adventure together or do they keep a long distance relationship while the warden runs Vigil’s Keep and he travels?
Day 7 - Saturday August 23 - Favorite features
"He didn't say how handsome" "Oh, so you've noticed! I credit my high cheekbones and pouty lips."
What are the features and traits, physical or not, that they each love the most about the other? How do they express that admiration? What do they like the most about themselves? Are they both confident, or are there hidden or obvious insecurities?
