"Do you want me to leave?!" pour Xal et Dorian :^D

Oh. I know what you want Ü And you’ll get it huhuhu… I’m gonna break some hearts… Part under the cut !

1. “Do you want me to leave?” - Xalynir x Dorian, angst, ~610 words [notes at the end]

Tevinter, 9:45 Dragon. People murmuring near the gates of the magisterium, where the daily council has been postponed. On the stairs leading to the first floor, magisters were speaking quietly while looking at the incessant coming and going of guards. The latters were rushing in Magister Pavus’ office ; blood coloured the marble floor and a body was laying not far from the pool of blood, a staff blade still stuck in his side. On the balcony, two men were facing each other, one of them trying to clean the blood off of himself. “What are you doing here Amatus ?”Dorian’s voice was shaking, as he examined his lover, looking for any wound. In front of him, the Inquisitor smiled while rearranging his clothes. “I learned about an assassination attempt here, in Tevinter, from Leliana. We got confirmation that you were targeted and…”Dorian shook his head - Xalynir was unsufferable. He will never learn, will he. “I know that, Xal. I have quite a network too. I thought I told you that. -But you were in danger Dorian ! Imagine if your men couldn’t make it on time. I couldn’t let that happen Dorian I- -Are you underestimating my men’s abilities, my network ? Dorian raised his voice, trying to conceel the shaking tone. -No, of course not but I--Then why did you come.”

The room went dead silence for what seemed like hours. Xalynir looked at the floor, while Dorian took a deep breath. This last month has been very stressful for Dorian, between the councils, the assassination attempts, trying to reform this bloody country. He didn’t need to worry about Xalynir being in Tevinter. But here he was. “I thought you made a promise, amatus. I thought you agreed to let me do this on my own. - he sighed- I can’t worry about Tevinter, the Lucerni and you. -I can manage myself Dorian. I am not a delicate flower. -But you know nothing of Tevinter, Xalynir. Here, you are a delicate and fragile thing. You’re the Inquisitor. You’re still a target. Kaffas can’t you understand that ?! I don’t want to lose you, Xal ! Could you stop being a stubborn child for a moment and running to help everyone ? You can’t stay here. ”Xalynir’s heart stopped. Dorian was angry and scared and frustrated. But he couldn’t be meaning that, could he ? With a trembling voice he asked : “Do-do you want me to leave ?” His eyes seeking Dorian’s, desperate to be wrong, that he didn’t mess it all up this much. Dorian’s jaw clenched.

“Yes.”

The words resonated in Xal’s head. He barely heard Maevaris in the room. “Dorian, don’t do anything stupid”, she began. Dorian dismissed her comment with a flick of the hand and looked at Xalynir in the eyes. “I can’t work in these conditions, Xalynir. I can’t work while you’re here. And you broke a promise you made. I think we’re both in a difficult moment in our lives and I… I think we should take some time for ourselves.”Xalynir’s world fell apart on these simple words. Emotions boiled inside of him - he wanted to scream, to lose it, to let out everything he held up since the last time he saw Dorian, to tell him how miserable he was, that he felt lonely and scared and desperate.

But he did none of that. Tears rolled down his cheeks, and not saying a word he grabbed his staff and left the room.

Dorian gripped on the balcony’s railing as he watched his amatus get on his hart and leave the city. Words went out too fast, but they were true. And now, everything felt much darker.

[Oooookay some context x) this is set post Trespasser and is canon in their story. Xalynir is miserable since the end of Trespasser, he suffers from losing his arm, almost everyone left to begin their new lives. He doesn’t blame them, but he feels so alone and he still doesn’t talk about his problems and needs and emotions. He misses Dorian and he held onto this promise until he came across this assassination attempt.]

you can send one if you want :)

Oooh mircro story #24: tender (bring me the flufffffffff) >:D

FLUFF :DD a proper context for this - music to go withThank you for the prompt <3Prompt - micro story #24 : tender - Xalynir x Dorian, ~500 words

Skyhold was a calm place this afternoon. Weather was clement, and with the recent events, the inhabitants enjoyed their free time. Xalynir got out from the war room, arranged for the occasion in a negociation room. And what a negociation… This guest was very haughty and demanding - Josie almost lost her composure. Three hours of talks and pretending, it has exhausted the Inquisitor. He thanked the ambassador and asked her to get some rest and some good time, before heading to the library.

The first floor was empty, only Dorian going round in circles in his alcove. The others must have left, like Solas, who was absent from the ground floor. Only the cawing crows, setting a background noise. The dull sound of a book on a table brought the Inquisitor’s attention. Dorian seemed troubled. These last days, he was working on his research and trying to find clues for the Inquisition on Corypehus and whoever they were fighting. The Vint grumbled while picking another book on a shelf, and as he was returning to his seat, stopped midway, noticing the man standing  near the stairs. “Ah you are here ? How was your day ?”Xalynir sensed irritation and tiredness in the voice of his man. Should he really explain to him that this reunion got longer than expected ? That he restrained for three hours from telling this guest what he really thought of his weapon and armor shipment ? That josie almost snapped ? That he’s sick of these diplomatic meetings with haughty and profiteer idiots ? No, it wouldn’t sort things out. “A bit long, but it was fine,” he simply replied. Doorian sat down and opened the book at a specific page after checking the table of contents. “Well, you should know this library is a real wrack. They ask me to search for solutions and I have no good material nor references at my disposal.” And Dorian kept on exposing every problem that prevented him from doing his job, while turning the pages.

Xal took a look around him - piles and piles of books, all around his chair.

He sat down on the floor in front of Dorian and gently put the book  aside. Took those hands in his with great care. Brushing his lips softly on his knuckles, one by one, kissing the back of his hand, massaging his wrist. And at this moment, it was only love and calm. The hands rose up and cup Xal’s face. He gently leant his cheeks on those warm hands, sighing quietly. “You’re tired too, Amatus. I’m sorry, I…” Dorian says as he dove in Xalynir’s blue eyes. “We both are, Leannan…Let’s take a break, yes ?”Gazing lovingly at each other, Dorian caressed his lover’s cheeks with his thumbs, while the latter put his hands on his man’s knees. Dorian bent forward to meet his amatus’ lips. Soft, tender, loving.

And for a while, time stopped and it was only them in the library. Only two men sharing a simple kiss.

Ooh angsty asks for Xal and Dorian! 16: "Do either of them have a special item (an article of clothing, a necklace, a book) that they use when they miss the other? if so, what is it? What do they do with it (read, wear, look at, smell)?" <3

Thank you for asking :D <3 I’m not sure about the angst part tough… it turned out pretty cute…

16. Do either of them have a special item (an article of clothing, a necklace, a book) that they use when they miss the other? If so, what is it? what do they do with it (read, wear, look at, smell)?

Xal has a book from Dorian. Something about elemental magic, very thick book. He found himself reading it when Dorian wasn’t accompanying him on a mission. He told him, and the next time, he found a marked page where Dorian left a note. “Thought you’d like to have a little something to remind you of me. -Dorian”It became a habit : everytime Xalynir comes back, he hands the book to Dorian, who writes down something and gives it back to him for his next mission. Sometimes, it’s kind words. Other times it’s just plain sass and fun. And of course, there are some intimate pages he only reads alone at night…

Dorian, on the other hand, has a blue silk scarf from Xalynir. His amatus gave it to him on the first day at Emprise du Lion, when Dorian was complaining about the cold… The scarf was surprisingly warm, and kept Xal’s scent - a mix of chocolate, pine, parchment and sandalwood. He’d wear it openly at any occasion, and he’d definitely bury his face in it late at night, while reading or waiting for sleep.
