How cool is that?
It feels like I’m sitting in a restaurant, leisurely choosing my menu. :D
For the main course, I’ll have the DAO Epilogue WIP, please — and for dessert, I’d like TaelinXAtton08
Your main course, The DAO Epilogue WIP, covers the death of the Archdemon through the Coronation scene at the end of the game for my Ysmeria Surana and Teagan Guerrin pairing and features Teagan making good on a promise he made months ago. Here's a little snip I don't believe I shared here before.
"Maker!" Teagan exclaimed as he circled around to see the injured warden unconscious on his nephew's lap. His chest felt tight and his heart was racing as fast as his thoughts. Alistair's questions were lost to him. "No, no, no..." He lifted her gently into his arms and held her tight. His eyes stung from the tears forming at the corners as he sat there, slowly rocking her back and forth. "What happened?" he lifted his gaze to Alistair. "I saw the flash and came as quickly as I could..." he trailed off, his voice shaky and about to crack.
Alistair reached out and gripped his shoulder, "She did it, Uncle. She defeated the Archdemon. The blight is over." He paused and lowered his eyes, not sure what else to say. 'I should have delivered the final blow,' he thought, his insides twisting at the sight of his uncle so distraught.
"Here," Leliana interrupted, relieving Alistair of the healing potion and presenting it to Teagan. "Alistair was just about to give this to her when you arrived. She took a hard hit when the Archdemon went down, but she is a strong woman. She won't be defeated that easily." She rested a hand reassuringly on the Bann's arm as she waited for him to take the potion.
Teagan raised his eyes to look at the woman who always seemed to be at Ysmeria's side. They seemed close, and yet she showed none of the distress he and his nephew were clearly feeling. Maybe she didn't know what they knew, but perhaps she was right. He took the potion and lifting her into a more upright position, brought the bottle to her lips, "Come on, love. Come back to me. Please, come back to me," he pleaded. He couldn't stop the tears from rolling down his cheeks as he waited for a sign. They splashed off of her dented armor and onto her fair skin. Try as he might, she was not swallowing any of the healing liquid. He had known all along that the night they'd shared before she left for Denerim may have been their last together, but in that moment it was hard to truly believe that outcome would come to pass. That knowledge did nothing to make it hurt any less. "Maker, is there not another healer here among our allies?" he cried out in desperation.
And some citrus dessert! X3 There is a clothed version as well I shared screenshots of before. Original idea was Atton pinned him in the corridor right outside the cockpit while the whole crew were still traveling together. I've since moved it to the dormitory post game when it's just the two of them and T3, though that could always change again depending on if it fits elsewhere storywise.
