#warden queen

I've recently seen a post on here (which i can not for the life of me find again) regarding Lace Hardings writer essentially giving everyone the permission to create their own cannon, in one form or another. (Can't remember exact working so don't quote me)

So here is mine so far;

Right after the events of the inquisition, the warden queen makes contact with the inquisitor (Lavellan) and asks to meet both her and First Enchanter Fiona. Once at Skyhold, she gives everything she has found/discovered/learned over to Fiona and Vivienne, and Dorian. (Because the more help, the better)

It takes months, but they finally figure out the cure to being a warden. Warden thanks them all, gets that knowledge back to the wardens themselves, then returns home to Alistair. Curing them both and allowing them to finally have the family the pair wants.

By the time trespasser happens, the warden has had their first child. Hawk has returned to Kirkwall, especially now Varric is vice count, and I'd finally able to live somewhat peacefully with Fenris and their own kids.

When Veilguard begins, the Inquisitor has been able to forewarn The Warden and Hawk of how close Varric is to finding Sola's meaning both have time to ready their respective homes giving them a better fighting chance. Kirkwall is already mostly evacuating to Starkhaven before real trouble hits, and Denarem and Redcliff are both well on their way to being fortified. Meaning that as much as both places are hit hard by the events of Veilguard, they survive.

At the end of Veilguard, any of the wardens who wish to finally just leave after all the fighting they've done are told of the cure and given it. Those forced to join the wards because they where blighted during the events of the gods are giving it automatically.

Some wardens decide to remain as part of the order. But they take on no one new. As this was "the blight to end all blights"

And there you have it. My canon as it stands. 😅

pov: you got the king of ferelden’s meal wrong and the queen confronts you about it

Some shit about my fankids - Vol 1.

Hey guys! I have. A lot of Dragon Age fankids. And these kids always ALWAYS start off as “I wonder what their kids would look like” and then it spirals out of control. Here’re some tidbits about them cause why not!

I meant to include all of them here but then. This got long. So for now just have my Warden and Alistair’s kids!

(TW: infant death, ableism)

Children of Raena Cousland and Alistair Theirin

Princess Eleanor Leliana Cousland Theirin - The firstborn child of Raena and Alistair, born two years after the ascension to the throne. Due to the presumed unlikelihood of them being able to conceive, Eleanor’s birth was seen as a miracle. Raena named her for her own mother, and her dear friend. It was a time of great celebration in Denerim and Ferelden as a whole.

However, two months after her birth, the princess died. She was discovered in her crib by her father, who was forever changed after. The taint was blamed for the tragedy and rumor says that the princesses appearance at her death was that of Blight. It can’t be known, as the king did not allow anyone to lay eyes on her body, not even the queen.

It is said the king and queen were never quite “The Lion and the Rose” as they were in the tales again.

Prince Ariel Fergus Cousland Theirin - Three years later, Raena gave birth to their second child, a boy she called Ariel. He was born a month early, and while the king was delayed abroad. His appearance upon birth was... troubling. He was pale, nearly grey, with deep blue and purple veins obvious beneath his paper-thin skin. Eyes cloudy, and the few streaks of red hair clinging to his head looking as if he were ever-bleeding. Every healer and every priest said he would die, that “the Maker will not allow him to suffer long.” The midwives were afraid of him, no wet nurses would feed him. “Tainted from birth” they called him. Not that the queen would have allowed anyone to take him from her arms.

They told his mother he would die long before the king’s return. Word had been sent of course, but it would take a least a week to arrive, there is no hope. She held him all that night, never sleeping. He did not die. He did not die the day after. Nor after that. And he survived to see his father return.

He survived after, despite his parents being told again and again he would die, and die soon. He did not. He simply refused. He grew instead. His skin gained some color, and the veins faded, though they remained faintly present around his eyes, beneath his jaw, and at his joints. His hair grew in thick, long and rose-red like his mother’s. His eyes cleared, and their color deepened to a rich, golden brown. Still, his health challenged him. He can’t see more than a few feet in front of his face, and he cannot stand for more than a few moments on his own. But his greatest challenge is his breathing: His lungs always threaten to fail him. If he walks too far, if the air gets too cold, if there is dust or smoke around him, he struggles to breathe. Illness plagues him constantly.

Still, Ariel is a smart, kind boy, charming anyone he speaks to in a moment. He enjoys stories, both reading old stories and the ones he writes himself. He has quite the way with the quill. Still, he is not the chosen heir of the throne. With all the prophesying of his death, his parents declared another heir...

Prince Ambrose Duncan Cousland Theirin - Another three years after the birth of Ariel, the king and queen welcomed their third child, another son. He was born on time, appearing healthy, with gold hair and light, reddish eyes. This was not the celebration one might expect. The kingdom still remembered Eleanor, her parents most of all. She appeared healthy at her birth as well. It is said that for months, the queen barely slept. She refused to set him down, to hand him to nurse for one moment. She simply spent her days aimlessly wandering the halls with him in her arms, or sitting in Ariel’s room. Holding her sons like they may be torn from her at any moment.

She only slept, truly slept, when the sun set at the end of his second months of life, and rose on his third, with him alive and as healthy as the day he was born.

While Ambrose was the younger child, it was all but guaranteed he would outlive his brother. Thus, he was named the heir, raised and trained to be king from the moment he could speak.

Ambrose grew to be a handsome boy, with a presence and voice to command a crowd. He has the smile, the confidence, of a king. Though, some may choose the word arrogance instead. He speaks about the throne as if he is owed it, as if only he would ever be fit for it. It could be argued, that this attitude was fostered, intentionally or not, by him constantly being told he alone is the future of Ferelden. It could also be attributed to a cry for attention, to draw his parents’ eyes away from his frail brother, and to him, the one who truly needs it.

Some find this “spirit” appealing. A king should want to be king, a king should care. Others are weary. Many remember Cailan, and to them Ambrose is too similar in both face and mind. It scares them, the thought of him wearing the crown through a crisis like the Blight.

Now, even tempered, gentle Ariel, perhaps he could lead them through it...

So... what are the king and queen to do? Do they restore Ariel’s birthright as the eldest child, and declare him heir, despite his fragile health and lack of training? Or do they keep their heir as Ambrose? The one who has studied his whole life for this, but has come out of it arrogant? Or do they stand aside, and hope the brothers can decide for themselves in peace?

______

So yeah! There’s fankids volume 1. This is meant to be a pretty... messy situation. Alistair and Raena love their kids and are trying their best, but it’s tied up with “duty” and well, constantly being told one kid was doomed from the start combined with the trauma of losing their first baby. They aren’t perfect, and they truly believed they were doing what was best.

The boys have very complicated feelings towards each other- well- sort of, it’s a bit one-sided on Ambrose’s part. Ariel holds no ill will towards Ambrose at all, but Ambrose sees Ariel as his rival in both the throne and his parent’s attention. Ariel is constantly extending olive branches to Ambrose and he’s constantly turning them down. Ariel also doesn’t not want to be king either, he just isn’t willing to hurt his brother to get there.

tagged by @weisshavpt! thank you for tagging me and I’m sorry I only just got round to doing these! (click on the image for better quality) 

I wanted to do these two pairings because I gush about Nim and Leli a lot and haven’t said too much about Gwen and Anora. I couldn’t really see them cooking or cleaning considering they are both nobles and Anora is queen. It just seems unlikely that they have ever cooked.

Anyone who wants to do this feel free to say I tagged you <3
