A Romance for the Ages: A Dragon Age Gift Exchange 2026 — Nerys Lavellan x Bram Kenric for @commander-krios

Drawn for @aromanceforthedragonages gift exchange. Another ship I found looking through the exchange requests, that I just had to draw something for. I loved Nerys' vibe so much and bringing Professor Bram Kenric into the mix just activated my drawing gremlin mode. I'm a broken record by now... but this event was a joy to be a part of. Thank you for running this exchange!

“Vhenan.”

Nerys Lavellan blinked the sleep from her eyes, the exposed wooden beams running across the ceiling of her bedroom the first thing she saw. But the arms around her were solid, comforting, safe. Real. And she was grateful to be able to feel them again, after so many months apart.

Trailing the tips of her fingers along the arm holding her, she counted the freckles there, each one a beautiful star painted on the canvas of Itharel Andras’s skin. She glanced over her shoulder to be captured once more by a pair of hazel eyes, a color that reminded her much of her home: the forests, the plants, but nothing was more home than the man in bed with her.

“How long have I been asleep?” She asked, the warmth from the blankets piled high a temptation hard to resist. She snuggled deeper, feeling his arms tighten around her in response. “I haven’t missed the war council, have I?”

Itharel’s lips formed into a grin though he tried to fight it, burying his face into the thick waves of her hair, lips trailing along the shell of her ear. “Of course not, my love.”

She raised an inquisitive eyebrow, knowing he might not be lying, but he was certainly hiding something. “Is that so?” Nerys shifted her body to sitting, turning to face him with her legs tucked underneath her, his grip loosening to accommodate the new position. “Why do I feel as if you’re not being entirely truthful?”

Itharel leaned forward, trying to grasp her waist when she slipped out of his path, bare feet dancing across the floor towards the fireplace where he couldn’t grab her. 

Lifting a finger as if to scold him, Nerys tried not to laugh when all he did was smile. “You’re up to something.”

“All I want is to stay in bed with the Inquisitor. Is that so awful?” Itharel crawled to the edge of the bed, watching Nerys for any sign of sudden movement, like a cat stalking its prey. “Come back to bed.”

“No.” She said stubbornly, crossing her arms over her chest but refusing to take her eyes off of him. “I need to get ready to meet with Leliana and Cassandra.”

“Do you?”

Itharel placed a singular foot on the floorboards, each movement slow and deliberate. Neither of them were particularly sneaky but her love was nimble enough to catch her should he need to.

“Yes. I’m not here for fun, Itharel. I have a job to do.” 

“Certainly you’re owed a break.” Itharel’s other foot joined the first on the floor. Nerys noted he was still near the bed, but she didn’t trust where this was going. Some of his dark hair fell into his eyes and she had to resist reaching out to brush it back. “Maybe for a little longer.”

“Itharel-”

She’d barely gotten his name out of her mouth when he launched himself across the gap between them. 

With a squeal, she attempted to escape but wasn’t fast enough. Itharel’s arms snaked around her from behind, pulling her tightly against him and his lips found her exposed neck. Giggles erupted from her lips as he trailed kisses along her neck and across her shoulder, and Nerys couldn’t help when her body relaxed against his.

“You’re going to get me into trouble.” She scolded him softly as he moved his mouth to where her pulse beat steadily.

“How?” He paused his perusal, smirking against her skin. “Aren’t you the boss here?”

Nerys figured Cassandra might argue with her about who made what decisions concerning the Inquisition, but she doubted Itharel wanted to hear them. With a sigh, she relented, letting him guide her back to the warmth of the bed. The cold of the floorboards were starting to chill her skin, but she refused to make a fool of herself and dig herself a burrow out of the blankets.

“Fine, but if Cassandra comes looking for me, I’m blaming you.”

Itharel fell backwards into the bed, pulling her down with him into the softness, a laugh escaping his mouth as they landed amongst the blankets and pillows. “That’s a deal worth taking.”

Nerys didn’t fight him any longer, letting him bury them in the bed again, lost in the safety of each other’s arms.

Eleri 2.0: And so it Ends

Obviously this game concludes the story that Inquisition set up like a decade ago. And for all those many years of waiting for Veilguard to come out, I didn't really care how the story ended - as long as Solas didn't just die! I think that would have been very dissatisfying. So I was happy with the ending we got.

I have seen people annoyed by the Solavellan ending - because it means that Lavellan pined after Solas for 10 years after Trespasser and then left everything they had behind to be with the man who'd previously broken their heart. And that's fair! But it was a suitable ending for my Lavellan - who has always felt separate and apart from the world.

I have decided, though, that I don't think my Eleri Rook fits with my Lavellan worldstate. I think Eleri fits with my Trevelyan worldstate. Which means I suppose I'll need to start another playthrough with another Rook to fit in my Lavellan worldstate.

I’m trying out new hair for Nerys, so this is a good time to remind everyone that she exists. She’s the pretty, polished Lavellan from my Bri-verse (as opposed to Briallen herself, who is the freckly, smart-ass Lavellan).

More sketches from my RP with @seekingidlewild! Sulahn and Nerys discuss found powers and school over drinks (Solas and Dorian just outside of the picture because I suck at drawing them?).

12, 13, 20 for Nerys?

Thank you for another ask, I appreciate it! I'll answer the partner questions with @aroserinosman's Itharel Andras <3

12. What's the sweetest thing they've ever said to their partner?

During the moments when Itharel doubts himself, when he's afraid he's gone too far, Nerys will take his hands and let him know that she'll be there with him, and she'll pull him back if he gets himself in too deep. They're in the pool together and she'll make sure he doesn't drown.

13. What's the most memorable compliment they'd ever been given?

From Itharel when they were getting ready for the Winter Palace. It was the first time she'd ever worn a true gown before, the fancy kind, and the moment he laid eyes on her, he was speechless. There wasn't a better compliment than that.

20. What's something they do absentmindedly that their partner finds adorable?

Nerys twists her hair around her finger. Usually only happens when she's got her hair down, the motion helps her think when she's having a tough time. I think Itharel would find it endearing.

I love this dialogue you get with Cole when you specialize as a Rift Mage.

Played around with this picrew tonight and made some OTPs.
