About Ian

❀ Iander Lavellan is a companion OC for all Dragon Age games. I've been writing him for over 10 years, and you will find a plethora of headcanons related to magic, lore, and the world of Thedas in my writing. In general I try to be canon-compliant, but there will be deviations. ❀ He uses he/him pronouns in the common tongues of Thedas, but prefers gender neutral terms in Elvhen. ❀ My canon HoF is Tamar Aeducan (I do not have an active blog for her) and Inquisitor is Thora Cadash (written by Tas over at @ourdawncomes). If for any reason our thread requires a different HoF or Inquisitor, that's totally fine! I'm open to RP with others as well as reference other worldstates. ❀ Ian is single ship, and is in a committed relationship with @theharellan as written by Tas. This ship is canon divergent as Ian is not the Inquisitor. Solas tells him the truth during the scene at the grove, and after the events of Trespasser, Ian joins Solas in his quest to bring down the Veil.

In the ancient days of Arlathan, the fight for Elvhen freedom has waged for centuries, and beside Fen'Harel stand his general, Felassan, and his spymaster, Miraen. When an important informant misses a meeting, Felassan and Miraen discover an eerily abandoned estate on Ghilan'nain's lands. Questions pile up more rapidly than answers can be found.

For @dragonagekissweek

Day 3: Fade

Solas x Iander Lavellan (non-binary, he/him pronouns)

It is beautiful, here. Threads of reality and whimsy weave together, reinforced with the peace and purpose in his heart.  His heart takes him by the hand, when he arrives. When his dreams expand and catch him. A safe landing, a gentle home.  Flowers bloom here, familiar and foreign. They burst into being in the prints of his boots, thrilling and vibrant as he steps into the guiding tug of the fingers threaded with his.  Solas kisses his fingers, first. Bare of his gloves, lips soft against his knuckles. A moment and an eternity, in that kiss. Longer in the one that follows, their lips meeting with the same gossamer texture as petals after rain.

[queenaeducan]

going to try to write drabbles for @dragonagekissweek! starting off with solas x non-binary!lavellan (aka solian) day one: morning

In the moments before dawn crowns the horizon, the world holds its breath for Iander Lavellan. Solas, too, measures his.

For once, the pressure he feels is not the burden of command nor the duty he has bore since his first sunrise, but the weight of Ian's head upon the pillow of his chest.

And his hair tickling his nose.

When Ian stirs, the sun rises golden. Not one to be outdone by the heavens, Solas strains the tendons of his neck, planting a kiss where Ian's hair parts, so that he might steal the day's first smile for himself.

Silver Linings

Characters: Tamar Aeducan, Alistair Theirin, Ser Jory, Daveth, Gorim Saelac Pairing: F!Aeducan/Gorim Saelac Fandom: Dragon Age Rating: G Word Count: 2,229 Summary:

Here on the surface, the sky is always both too close and too far. The rain is ever-present and cold, and no sooner do things begin to look up than a storm brings misery. When misfortune adds to misfortune, how can one choose optimism?

Tamar Aeducan is new to the surface, but she is not new to loss. As misery and defeats pile up around her, she searches for a reason to feel hopeful even as she is determined to carry on.

An Aedcan/Gorim reunion fic Read Here on AO3

Jory reaches the flower first, but he doesn't pluck it. Alistair, second, reaches almost delicately to pull at the bright stem.

“Here,” he says, pressing it into her hand with a flourish.

She considers telling him that flowers are one of the most expensive gifts she has ever received. That suitors upon suitors had tried to impress her with the beautiful surface blooms. That watching them wilt was never worth what their lives had cost.

She doesn't say any of that. She accepts the flower, twists the stem between her fingers so that the soft petals dance.

“Silver lining?” Tamar wonders aloud. The bloom is white, not silver. A muted tone, flat rather than polished. Red at the center, though, and she wonders if it was named for the smear of blood on steel.

“Oh, that's not its name.” Daveth is the first to identify her mistake, but he is kind about it. “That's just a wild's flower. The sort the kennel master was asking for. Might help. That's the silver lining, not the flower.”

She is still confused, brow furrowed, until he continues.

“Every raincloud has a silver lining,” he tells her, clapping his hand on her shoulder as Alistair turns back towards the trees. “It's a saying. Like…nobody enjoys being rained on, but in the middle of every misery is something shining, if you look. Something to be grateful for.”

Tamar lifts her face, battling the ever-present urge to keep her eyes away from the sky that seeks to steal her from the safety of the stone. The clouds above are dark, twenty different tones of grey, and no silver to be seen.

“If you say so,” she concedes.

She tucks the flower into her satchel, folds its petals neatly between the pages of her journal.

“I might settle for less rain, I think.”

Daveth laughs. “We all would, but that's not how it works. It will always rain. We just have to look for something that makes it worth getting wet.”
