And then they were late to the Solas confrontation because they were helping scared people on the streets instead.
(I imagine spending 8-10 years waiting for the sky to fall didn't do any wonders to Sera's fear of the Fade. That said: "Eat it, Fade. She makes it fine.")
I think it was very sexy of Kinara to choose the same specialization as her future wife, you know. Why have one unpredictable rogue on fire when you can have TWO.
I'm keeping all my art in one place, but if you wanna follow for dragon age content there's a sideblog linked in pinned~

So wave goodbye
To living alone
I think we’ve found our home
Let’s paint these walls
And pull up the weeds
And cast our fevers in stone
I have this headcanon that after Trespasser my Inky and Sera indeed did live in that house in Kirkwall (Varric’s gift). And they renovated it fully - that includes painting all sorts of things on the walls. ‘Cause their home is anything but boring and stiff. Ya know?
I imagine that ice cream or ice desserts in general would be a rare treat in Thedas. Keeping things cold would require magic or runes, one of which is illegal and the other most likely expensive.
So I’d see the rich and cultures in which mages have more freedom (the Dalish, the Avvar) would have easier access. Dwarves too! Because I think they canonically use a water rune down in Orzammar so ice runes would be a thing.
Also did some quick research (thanks for the ref guys lol) and a lot of frozen desserts were made with snow.
SO HERE COME CUTE HEADCANON.
Sera x Human Mage Quizzie (not Trevelyan)
In the alienage, Sera remembered how whenever it snowed they’d make sweet ice treats. In fact it’s one of her more fond memories there with parents she can’t remember. A bowl of ice with berries and when they’re lucky, honey. It was her favorite thing in the world.
When she lived with Lady Emmauld, she used runes. Expensive runes she bought to make fancy ice desserts during her parties. Another fond memory Sera has amidst the sadder ones.
She tells Isadore this one night while they’re cuddled up.
Sera is not comfortable with magic - it scares her. At first this hurts Isadore, because she can’t help it, she was born with magic. Then they talk. Sera’s afraid because she thinks magic can only hurt and do bad. After all, look at that hole in the sky.
Isadore starts to understand.
One day, a particularly hot one Isadore comes to her with a bowl filled with fresh berries. She asks Sera if it’s okay to use magic. Sera trusts her, she says yes, but nervously. Isadore says she’s going to use it on the bowl and not her. So it’s fine.
Isadore freezes the bowl and makes ice, then she takes a fork smooshes the berries in.
Sera’s eyes light up.
Good memories and good feelings come in. She takes a giant spoonful and she smiles. Isadore pulls out a jar of honey. Even better.
She drizzles it on top and it’s the best thing in the world.
“Have some, inky,” Sera says and feeds her a big spoonful. Isadore laughs.
“I can’t believe you did that, during this hot day,” Sera begins, “It’s like...it’s like...”
“Magic?”
Sera stops.
Then she starts to understand.
She kisses Isadore and she can taste the raspberries and honey on her lips. The sweetest they’ve ever tasted.
She can understand.
Magic can be used for bad, but it can also be used for love.
I’m reeeally drunk, listening to Nikelback – She Keeps Me Up (idgf what this band did to this site and just how cringy you deem it, duh) and the actual in-game bartender’s phrase "Word is...that I hope you and Sera didn't do it on my bar" correlates way too well with the song’s lyric "I love when she says "what's wrong with right here on the counter?" sooooo
