an ancient fuck

IT Professional. Amateur Writer. Lazy Witch.

[elfyroot]

I am Elfyroot (Elfy, Mads) and I like to write. ✏️ I am stupidly happy to talk about my OCs, my ideas, my writing. I mostly just want an excuse to blab about it all. Ask Me Anything

I am running a FORGOTTEN ONES WEEK in June 2026! Check it out here: @forgottenonesweek.

For every character and work, please look at my masterlist.

PRIMARY CHARACTERS & SHIPS

Isathe Lavellan & Solas 🌿 Isathe originally began with the thought of, "what if the Inquisitor was a Forgotten One?" Now her and Solas have various adventures through Thedas, including their story within a modern AU with reincarnated gods, museums and academia. Fandom: Dragon Age Latest: This Forgotten Binding

Rhéla Ghilain & Geldauran ⭐ Sheriff Geldauran and his trusty Undersheriff Rhéla Ghilain's adventures through my Venuralas Shenathe AU world. He's a reincarnation and a folksy cowboy from Ostagar, she is a sassy cinnamon roll who takes no shit. Fandom: Dragon Age Collection: NugRhelated

Soldier Boy & Cataclysm 💥 Vought sold a convincing lie: Soldier Boy was the greatest American hero and his partner, Cataclysm, was the perfect sidekick. In truth, they were a failed experiment in controlled destruction. Fandom: The Boys Latest: A Witness To My Crimes

Mae Singer & Dean Winchester 🗡️ Adoptive daughter of Bobby Singer and quite possibly the only one who truly saw Dean before his father tore it all down - burning it all to ashes. Fandom: Supernatural Latest: WIP (Swear Right Now Before the Devil)

PRIMARY AO3 SERIES

The Forgotten Ones ✨ What if Inquisitor Lavellan was, in fact, an ancient elf? A member of the Forgotten Ones, awakened years before the Breach, then pulled into the events of the Inquisition. Hiding herself from the prying eyes of those who would condemn her for her past allegiances and the unsettling gaze of the apostate elf who appeared to know more than he let on.

Venuralas Shenathe AU 📖 We are sent to a world of Modern Thedas. A world filled with magic, messed up history, and politics where the Gods were not only real - they have reincarnated and are trying to learn how to live in Thedas as it is now.

CURRENT WIPS

The Theory of Being (Isathe & Solas - 1x Month)

A Witness To My Crimes (Soldier Boy & Cataclysm - 2x Month)

That Nug Won't Hunt (Rhéla Ghilain & Geldauran)

Bellara: "What did you get Rook for their name-day?" Davrin: "I got them a cat." Bellara: "Really? Me too!" Taash: "I also got them a cat." Neve: "Looks like we had the same idea." Davrin: "Lucanis, please tell me you didn't get Rook a cat as well." Lucanis: "... I got them a cat."

*Later*

Rook, surrounded by cats: "This is the best name-day ever!"

Did some portraits of the main Kryptis: Deimos, Cerus, Peitha and Eparch. Oh man did I have fun with these. I took some artistic liberties, especially with the horns but I love how they turned out! <3 Sponsored by ArenaNet! Loose portraits under the cut.

[elfyroot]

IF MY HEART WAS STILL MINE After Corypheus' defeat and Solas' sudden departure, Lethe Lavellan is left broken, bruised and slowly being consumed by the anchor - a corruption feeding on her very spirit. Desperate to save her and with nowhere else to turn, Dorian looks to Nevarra for help. Calling on his former teacher, and Fade Expert, Emmrich Volkarin. In the candlelit, shadowed halls of Skyhold, haunted murals begin to stir and Emmrich must discover a way to stave off the anchor's endless hunger. Can he save her before she is devoured completely - and survive falling in love along the way?

I can finally yap about this now! I participated in the @dragonagebigbang for 2026, and was paired with the amazingly talented and skilled @michichi69. Please go look at the full art (it is in chapter 2!)

You ever wanted to read something like Penny Dreadful in a Victorian Skyhold? I got you.

It's nice that Ro has amnesia. Now people can tell her absolutely anything and watch her try to figure out whether she’s being lied to or not xD

A WITNESS TO MY CRIMES The Midwest always smelled like ass and dead things. Sometimes, it even smelled like something that had crawled out of the ass of dead things. Endless wheat and corn fields - along with whatever else they grew, or slaughtered, out there - didn’t help with that, and actually made the stench worse. The car had no A/C, windows barely worked, and the heavy odor of oil and gas combined with manure and the animal processing plants was making Riley’s skin crawl. Once the sun slid beyond the horizon, it helped some. Less heat. Less smell. But the perpetual drone from the car’s engine - some shitty beater from the 70s - and the crickets that echoed like a crappy indie concert along this stretch of the highway didn’t help her restlessness. Lightning bugs might’ve been pretty though, if she weren’t wound so tight. Riley’s fingers drummed against her bouncing leg in a steady rhythm that didn’t match the song on the radio. Her jaw clenched so hard she was pretty sure she was a hair away from cracking a tooth. All she wanted to do was fucking scream.
