Spite Wants To Set A Flame

Lucanis (and by extension, Spite) have been helping Bellara with her romance novel. Flowery language and smut metaphors lead Spite to some surprising conclusions.

╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗ prev Part 8 of Burn After Reading banter series next ╚══════════════════════════════════════════╝ Enjoying my work? You can leave me a tip on Ko-Fi | Have a request? Part of an on-going series of fan-writings. See the full Masterlist here.

As someone on the autism spectrum, I remember struggling with interpreting metaphor as a young person A LOT. As soon as it was introduced in Veilguard that Bellara was writing some smutty fanfiction, the first thoughts I had were "Oh, the neurospicy gang is gonna struggle." (Mainly Taash and Spite.)

This is fanfiction written by me, @ellie-writes-games. These are NOT actual screenshots from the game. Peace, love, and mad props to the DA writers.

Neve's dry humor and deadpan delivery have bewitched me, body and soul. So here's a highlight reel of her giving everyone sass.

[muttering to herself] Neve: Couldn't be one god, it had to be three.

[talking about Neve's old cases] Bellara: What about that one story with... the demon, the diamond and the deadbeat Magister? Oh, they mentioned you twice. Neve: That was a hitpiece. Rook: Uh huh, great... what happened with the diamond? Neve: You take a dip off the dock for a rock... make sure the mage can't freeze you in.

[during a Solas memory, imitating a spirit of disruption] Rook: If we're spirits of disruption, let's act like it. Neve: I've been called disruptive a time or two!

[during the Siege of Weisshaupt] Neve: Well, this went sideways! How's Lucanis going to kill a cloud with a dagger?

[finding a demon of obsession in the Hossberg Wetlands] Demon: Ah, more curious creatures, drawn like moths. Neve: Chiding the curious? That almost feels personal.

[to Elek, after being named Thread Boss] Neve: You know, I was going to ask you a favor. You can call it an order now.

Lucanis and Rook de Riva teasing each other is everything to me.

Rook: Fuck all of this Blight.

Davrin: I have the Blight. Fuck me.
