Blue’s Gift Pile

I’ve been honored to receive so many gift works since joining the Dragon Age fandom.

Please check them out, they are all gems!

General Gifts

to be seen feeling - [ @inquisimer​ ] Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: T

(Mahariel/Morrigan, Mahariel & Others. Genfic!) Duty pulls Halevune from his fragile family and the home they’ve carved in the Crossroads.

In which Mahariel navigates his relationship with Morrigan, fatherhood, and the politics of the Wardens and being an elven Teryn.

The Firefall - [Dragon_Sage]. Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: M.

(Solas/F!Lavellan). Post-Trespasser. Solas is camped in the ruins of Mythal's most cherished palace, plagued by Regret and guilt around the circumstances of her murder. He would leave, but he desperately requires what he suspects his old friend may have hidden there. Unfortunately, the final obstacle in his path is a door that only one person in Thedas can open: Ellana Lavellan.

This is a beautiful and cinematic adventure fic with a bittersweet twist! Just my kind of gift. I would love for everyone to read it and join me in imagining this beautiful, mysterious palace that Dragon Sage created as a backdrop!

Shadows in the Glass - [@silvanils | KnightDawn] Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: T

“The eyes were all wrong. I should know. I see the right ones every morning.”Something strange is happening in Serault. What else is new?

A mirrorverse of sorts for the Marquis(e) of Serault! Several heroes from different universes reach out to each other in dreamlike, beautiful quality.

Comrades in Arms, Brothers in Broken Chains - [ @rosella-writes]. PODFIC.

Rosella BEAUTIFULLY read a piece I wrote as a podfic!

The Seven Halla - [Ciella]. Oneshot. Complete. 

Rating: T

A Dragon Age version of the German fairy tale, The Six Swans. A perfect gift from the @solavellanhellexchange

Homecoming - [ @queenaeducan-writes]. Two chapters. Complete.

Rating: T

Charter and Harding know that Fen'Harel seeks something in the vaults of a Tevinter Magister. It's a race to gain access to this mysterious artifact, and to keep it out of enemy hands.

Until it isn't.

This fic--an adventure, an intrigue, a world-building exploration, an action piece, and so much more--grabbed me by the heart and didn't let go. Gift from the @arlathanxchange

Bright Days of Halcyon - [ @darethshirl ]. Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: G

Solas joins Hawen’s clan for a slice of life and celebration. He finds traces of the familiar, fragments of the past, and welcome.

This fic actually drove me to tears, it was nostalgic, poignant, and touching. It is both full of joy and full of tragedy. Gift from the @arlathanxchange

oily marks appear on walls (where pleasure moments hung before) - [ @rosella-writes ]. Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: M

As an Evanuris, Solas has no vallaslin. He would lay claim to no one. Not even the man he loves.

Just an absolutely gorgeous piece highlighting a tension between Solas and Felassan, yet another problem entirely of Solas's own making. Gift from the @arlathanxchange

What Pride Had Wrought - [ @rosella-writes ]. Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: G

Mythal through the ages, with Pride at her side. Gift fic from the Beyond The Veil Discord Server’s Masked Satinalia holiday exchange!

Pride’s Hope - [ @rosella-writes ]. Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: G

Solas may have always been Pride, but Felassan was not always Felassan. Once he chafed under the mantle of another name. Rosella wrote a deliciously angsty Solas (Pride)/Felassan (Hope) fic <3

grab hold of the earth’s four corners - [ @rosella-writes]. Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: E

The Chargers survived their Venatori encounter at the Storm Coast. Virelan and Krem celebrate together behind the Herald's Rest. Gift from Rosella furthering the Lavellan/Krem agenda!

Gifts about Ixchel Lavellan

Lead Her Through the Darkness - [BECandCall | @warpedlegacy]: Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: T

This is the story of how Ixchel found her name. BECandCall aka DuchessofSwoll wrote this gift for me during the Dragon Age Fanfiction discord server’s OC swap month.

The Day the Dread Wolf Wed the Brave Guide - [exalted_dawn | @exalted-dawn-drabbles ]. Ongoing.

Rating: T

My beautiful friend and dear Beta, Ed, decided to write how her Dalish OC Talenna convinced and orchestrated Ixchel to do a bonding ceremony with Solas, at the Arlathvhen, after Corypheus’s defeat. It’s beautiful and I adore it.

Finding Hope in Ruins - [BlueWren]. Oneshot.

Rating: G

A gift from the 2022 April OC Swap for the DAFF Discord Server, where Solas and Ixchel talk about hope together.

The Inexorable Tide - [kittynomsdeplume]. Oneshot.

Rating: T

Ixchel appeared in Elvhenan in an explosion that leveled Falon’Din’s temple. Dirthamen takes her in, for she wears his vallaslin, and slowly teaches her the Elvhen language...and they fall in love. A BEAUTIFUL GIFT from the 2021 Beyond The Veil Discord Server Satinalia Exchange

Champion - [Fenrevas | @rakshadow]. Oneshot.

Rating: G

Rak wrote this lovely interaction for a Discord server event <3 A Boxing Club au where Ash Hawke meets Ixchel Lavellan, her new boxing instructor.

Alas’nira - [thebrain_urchin | @dalishkadan ]. Oneshot.

Rating: E

A beautiful 500-word Solas POV gift! The Dalish warn their children to watch out, lest the Dread Wolf catch them. They never speak on what it would be like for the Dread Wolf to be caught instead.

Fade-Touched - [ @rosella-writes]. Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: M

Dirthamen learns from his Champion to set aside study.

Dirthamen (yes that one) and Ixchel bang in a magical orchard with aphrodisiac peaches.

The Mirrorverse.

The Dragon Age Fanfic Writers Discord Server anniversary (Aug 2021) generated a bunch of crossover-type gift fis and introduced the idea of a multiverse connected by eluvians. Thus, the Mirrorverse was born.

The Bar at the End of the Multiverse - [CrackingLamb]. Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: G

Virelan Lavellan and Solas have reunited, and now their son Tulin is coming of age. Tulin wants to take the vallaslin, knowing what it represents--but he wants Solas and Virelan to help in the ritual. Virelan doesn’t know how to ask Solas such a favor, and turns to Ixchel for some hope.

tell me if i drown - [Lalaen].  Oneshot. Complete.

Rating: M

Gethrael Lavellan, reeling after a horrific experience in Wicked Eyes, Wicked Hearts, goes to the Bar at the End of the Multiverse and runs into Ixchel.

The Brave Guide’s Friend - [ExaltedDawn].

Rating: M

When the Eluvian had appeared before her, Ixchel could have never suspected that it would lead to the loss of a friend. But when Talenna stumbled through the glass, bloodied and afraid and clutching two young children, Ixchel is forced to come to terms with the fact that she will yet again have to say goodbye to someone she loves. And in doing so, will finally repay a favor long owed.

Falling into an ancient ruin was hardly Virlas Lavellan's plan. Finding herself in the company of the Dread Wolf didn't make it any better.

Or did it?

---

Written for @solavellanhellexchange.  A gift for @dreadwolfish.

“Could you protect me from yourself? Could you protect yourself from me?” She shook her head slightly, leaving herself so close she could almost taste his skin. “We never could resist temptation.”

She made herself step away. She forced her eyes away from where he bit his lip on the breath that was almost a word. A word he was not allowed to call her anymore.

A split second reaction had just utterly obliterated any attempt by Virlas to keep her emotions under control around him. Even now she wanted to turn back to him, pin him against the wall and make him beg for her mercy. The look in his eye had given away that he'd welcome her. He could deceive and manipulate all he liked, but there were some things he could not hide. Not from her.

Authors were revealed earlier this week for the @solavellanhellexchange. I love the gift I received and I had great fun writing for this exchange as well!

This was my first time participating in a fic exchange event, and the people involved made it a truly great experience. I also may have gotten carried away with how much I wrote.

the road seems too wild for mixing it with blues

 To the rest of the world, for once, he is not Solas, not Fen'Harel, not the Dread Wolf; she is not Lady Lavellan, not the Inquisitor. They are visitors engaged in discovery, and the world will indulge them for just this little while.

-:-:-

Solas walks the earth on a new path, with Lavellan at his side. There is no death on this journey--only life, and limitless pot

Thank you so much @dreadfutures for the wonderful gift!

Now, like I mentioned, I got a bit carried away with the pieces I wrote.

Ea Aron Arlathan

My gift for @midorimaddie

However brief their time together might be, Solas is determined to make the most of it. With the memory of Arlathan still on his mind and his desire to be with Aerwynn growing stronger every day, he decides to take a most dangerous course of action - reenacting the courtship rituals of the Elvhen people.

Uthenera - Fen’Harel Ver Na

My gift for everyone

"I lay in dark and dreaming sleep while countless wars and ages past."

This song blends the Lost Elf Theme and the Thedas Love Theme, and also introduces a new theme of my own devising which can be heard in the opening bars of the piece. This is a programmatic piece, which means that each part of the song represents an unfolding story. For program notes, see the end of this page.

You can also watch the sheet music playback here.

A Wonder

Written for Exalted_Dawn

"It was unlike Alora to shirk her duties. It seemed much more likely to him that she had simply wandered off somewhere, none the wiser to the pressing concerns which had arisen in her absence. And while he didn’t doubt his own capability in finding Alora quickly, he knew someone who would be able to locate her even faster. Someone Varric would never think to ask."

Everyone's looking for the Inquisitor, but no one knows where to find her. When Varric asks Solas to help find her, he asks another friend for help. He'll need to offer some encouragement before Alora is ready to leave her hiding place.

A New Haven

Written for @rosella-writes

"Unlike the blade—a brutish, simple implement worked from a single strip of metal—the hilt was delicate work, crafted from myriad metals coaxed together through careful attention, convinced by skilled hands that they were all one."

Virelan finds solace in smithing. But either fortunately or unfortunately, her time does not go entirely uninterrupted. Perhaps her visitor can help her finish what she started.

Vhenas Eth

Written for @lyriumpotion

Inquisitor Dalla has a secret place she likes to go to escape the pressures of the Inquisition. Only those she trusts are invited in.

To the Thaig

Written for @bluewren

Taliesen has heard news of a long-abandoned thaig that was recently discovered in the Deep Roads. In the hopes of uncovering some useful tools or forgotten technology, she and her companions set out to investigate.

The Wolf Maiden

Written for @alondradina

Solas has been invited to his grandmother's house, but she lives in the woods and as everyone knows, dangerous wolves roam these woods.

[maebird-melody]

This song borrows the Lost Elf Theme and the Thedas Love Theme to create what I call the “Solas Love Theme,” or “Uthenera: Fen’Harel Ver Na.” It is melancholy and hopeful and captures, at least in my humble opinion, the internal journey which Solas undertakes in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Since the Solavellan Hell exchange authors have been revealed, I can finally share this here! I hope you all give it a listen and enjoy.

[kittynomsdeplume]

A little sad that I couldn't submit more for the Solavellan exchange. Rona is a biiiitch!!!

Still, I did receive a lovely, smutty piece from @rosella-writes, featuring Virelan and Solas at the Winter Palace.

Brimstone In My Garden

Rating: Explicit Word Count: 3346 Summary: “I do adore the heady blend of power, intrigue, danger, and sex that permeates these events.”

“Do you?” Her smile warms her eyes, not her mouth. “There will be more of each before the night is through, I hope.”

Also, if anyone would like a peep at the G-Rated art and little blurb I did for @alondradina, you can find that here, Ar Lath Ma
