Timelapse after the cut

"I-AM-JUSTICE!"

A scene illustration from my fic Slip Stone This preluded the culmination of a heated argument between Solas and Mythal, and one of Solas’s more cutting mic-drop moments. Snippet and timelapse after the cut.

She shouts. Then she laughs. And she sways. Shaken by the impotence of her anger. Tears of fire fall from her eyes. Streams of smoke leak from her shoulders in steady plumes. “You cruel child,” she spits. “Why would you doubt me? After everything—” Her arms flail, hair spiraling in widening arcs. “My judgment is law!” The smoke rises behind her, thickening to black. “I am the judge, barrister, and executioner!” The blackness bursts, snapping open like wings. “I—AM—JUSTICE!” Her cry sweeps through the hall like a blazing wind. Solas stands against it, his cloak violently flapping behind him. He’s looking at her, waiting. No hatred, no fury. Her dark wings are vast and terrible, blotting out any and all traces of light, and between them, she seems so small. The cloak slowly floats back to brush against his hands. The air stands still. He sways forward, bending at the waist in a reverent bow. “Vengeance,” he corrects her, and sits down.

Series Summary:

Former Inquisitor Ainnisa Lavellan travels to a time when Solas is revered as the High’Protector of the People, and rules alongside divine beings of immense power who dare call themselves gods. She, of course, plans to kill them.

Snippet from current work:

Clad in black, purple, and gold, Solas stands tall with hands clasped behind his back in all his statuesque pride and glory. He seems different somehow. The dominant line of his jaw seems sharper, his nose bolder, brow wiser, and that divine shimmer on his skin makes his bright face appear as if chiseled from white marble with quartz dust strewn inside. Handsome, one might say. “Grief suits you.” “I beg your pardon?” “It’s a compliment, Solas, it means you look well.” “Ah! Am…” His irises dart left and right as if searching through a master list of ripostes, tactics, and calculated reactions that should’ve covered everything, but somehow, accepting a simple compliment is missing.

“Dorian! Let’s travel back in time and kill all seven elven gods!”

Dorian’s brow lifts at the number.

Her finger traces the butterfly relief adorning the belly of the vase. “We probably shouldn’t kill Mythal” —her death might’ve started the whole Veil business— “and Fen’Harel rebelled against them” —the alleged enemy of her presumed enemies is her prospective friend after all— “if he had an army, we could use it.”

The suspicious brow lowers to join the other, so together they can form the flat, straight plain of perfect clarity. “So, in other words, you want to go back in time to befriend Solas and join his rebellion?”

She will use her inquisitor’s voice for this. “The sensible course of action would be to use any means at our disposal to reach our ultimate goal, regardless of past relations, squabbles, or personal opinions.”

Dorian crosses his arms. His head tilts sideways. Then he blinks.

Bastard! Aw, she knows what he is not saying. How could he? To suggest—The absurdity of even thinking that she would plan such a risky endeavor only to be with her former lover in another world— Wait, scratch the last part.

Excerpt from The END (Time-travel fanfiction on AO3)

“It will take no effort to heal you,” he said. It will take no effort to punch you, she thought.
