Day 1 - Sunday, August 17 - Wealth, gold, relationship with money
"Ahh, an untouched treasure! What wonders await us here?"
How well-off are Zev and the warden after the Blight? Do they come across any trove of wealth or do they live modestly? What is their relationship to money? Do they pamper each other? What is your HC for the Warden giving Zev the bars of gold we see in canon?
Day 2 - Monday, August 18 - Family, legacy
"And what of family? Of children? Life does not begin and end with yourself."
What are their thoughts on children? Do Zev and the warden ever have or adopt any of their own? If so, what kind of parents are they? If not, are they ever around other people's children?
Day 3 - Tuesday, August 19 - Bondage, BDSM
"Are you sure you do not wish to tie me up? Not even a little?"
Do you HC Zev as saying such things as flippant jokes or as real interest and desire? Do Zev and the warden get up to any kinds of kink? What are their preferences in that department? How do they develop that kind of intimate relationship?
Day 4 - Wednesday, August 20 - Loyalty
"I am a very loyal person. Up until the point where someone expects me to die for failing."
Was Zev loyal to the warden from the very moment he promised to help them, or does that loyalty develop with time? Is that loyalty ever tested? What about the other way around? Is the warden loyal to Zev from the start, or are they suspicious of him at first? If so, when does that change?
Day 5 - Thursday, August 21 - Purpose
"What we are doing here...stopping the Blight. I cannot think of anything i have ever done which is so worthy."
At what point does Zev start thinking that what they're doing is truly worthwhile? In what ways aside from fighting does he support the warden through such an insurmountable task? How does he feel, when it's all over? Does he recognise the part he played or does he see himself as a sidekick?
Day 6 - Friday, August 22 - Growth, reform
"My name is Zevran Arainai, adventurer and occasional assassin."
When does Zev go from calling himself an Antivan Crow to seeing himself as an adventurer? What does ‘occasional assassin’ look like in your HCs? What contracts does he still take? Do Zev and the warden adventure together or do they keep a long distance relationship while the warden runs Vigil’s Keep and he travels?
Day 7 - Saturday August 23 - Favorite features
"He didn't say how handsome" "Oh, so you've noticed! I credit my high cheekbones and pouty lips."
What are the features and traits, physical or not, that they each love the most about the other? How do they express that admiration? What do they like the most about themselves? Are they both confident, or are there hidden or obvious insecurities?
Alistair: Doesn't he seem to be a bit too much? The hair, the clothing…
How does the Warden interact with Zevran's mask?
9/2/26 ▸ Day 2: Humor
Leliana: Have I ever talked about my friend, Zevran? He was an Antivan Crow. He wasn’t always good at it. We only met because he failed to kill a mark. But he made me laugh.
How does Zevran entertain the Warden?
9/3/26 ▸ Day 3: Rumors
Harding: So the Crows don't work in Ferelden anymore because of Loghain? Why, exactly?
Lucanis: House Arainai embarrassed themselves so badly on that job, the Crows buried six different Eighth Talons.
How do Zevran and the Warden look from an outside perspective?
9/4/26 ▸ Day 4: Influence
Wynne: His demeanor changes when he's with you. There is a tenderness to his gaze I'd never seen till now.
How do Zevran and the Warden change each other?
9/5/26 ▸ Day 5: Support
How could anyone have guessed that the Grey Warden would become his lover and support his crusade?
— From a half-burned letter in a Treviso warehouse, 9:35 Dragon
How/how much does the Warden support Zevran's fight against the Crows?
9/6/26 ▸ Day 6: Our Own Battles
Regardless, Zevran and I have our own battles to fight, and I can only offer my confidence that you have matters well in hand.
— The Hero of Ferelden
What are Zevran and the Warden doing now?
9/7/26 ▸ Day 7: Free Day

The party is in Denerim and they sleep at an inn for once.
Zevran chuckled lowly in Cylas’s ear. “Ah, Cylas, always the willing victim.” He said quietly. “And if I might ask, if the opportunity to proceed past the massage should present itself…?”
Cylas put a hand on Zevran’s waist and pulled him in closer. “I’m sure you’ll think of something.”
Zevran smirked at him. “Then why are we still talking?” He captured Cylas’s lips and ran a hand down his back, pausing just low enough to be scandalous.
Part 4 of my little zevwarden series, finished for @zevraholics zevwarden week! You can see an art of these two here 👀

I got my tablet back briefly without pressure before it died again so have... this for Zevwarden week day 4. They see Crows and make out and then kill them. It’s a good system.
