If anyone is in the mood for their daily dose of sad wet dog Solas, this is the fic for you. A completely self-indulgent piece I put my heart in, and made him cry out his in turn.
Modern Solassan AU. My new comm painting turned out to be very summery :)

Bro I miss my best friends so fucking much I am literally looking at the polaroid of us I keep in my phone's cover like a wife looking at a picture of her husband who's been at war
Woke up randomly this morning both missing The Magnus Archives and remembering the first proper fic I ever wrote and that I am still so proud of, so I had to make it a little cover like I've been doing to my latest ones
I love Michael Distortion so much y'all
@lampost-in-winter since you asked so nicely, how can I resist?
They are lying in a field of long grass. She feels the great openness of the sky above them, filled with the rushing to and fro of winds. If she were to open her eyes, there would probably be flowers all around them. Sheās clad in only a thin cotton chemise, scandalously under-dressed. Solas, at least, is in shirt and trousers, her trim waist accentuated by the contrasting cuts, loose and then tight. She knows this because her hands are on that waist.
Solas is above her, trailing gentle kisses across her cheeks, her eyelids. What will happen, if she opens them? Will this airy dream vanish, replaced by enclosing leaves? But she cannot stand to remain in stasis, and accept what sheās given. Still with great trepidation, she opened her eyes.
There is no change, no vanishing. There is only Solas, silhouetted by the great glory of the sky. Somehow itās not too bright, which would certainly inform her of it being a dream, if she wasnāt already aware. She slides her fingers up, enjoying the touch of fine linen, the hard lines of rib-bones beneath the skin and the soft flesh that semi-accidentally grazes her palms. Her hands found their way to the sharp planes of Solasās face, her thumb to the corner of a smile that was bright in its joy, with only a bare edge of sorrow.
āSomniar nehn, Vhenan?ā Solas asks, with that mouth. Pulling her down to kiss her was easier than trying to respond.
This should be the last appearance of the post-datv Solavellan fic as a WIP bc I finished the second editing round today. A little bit of NSFW under the cut:
Lavellan cries out when he starts moving, slow and deep. As blissful as it feels, they notice a growing tension in him, the strain of keeping his body from taking all that it wants. But as the former Inquisitor starts canting their hips to meet his thrusts, all self-control finally slips from him and his rhythm speeds ups. They hold onto him for dear life and they mindlessly sing āmore, please, moreā as he fucks them hard, pleasure quickly coiling into a knot in their belly that pulls at the entirety of their being. Their pleas go silent as he devours their mouth again.
Gently tagging @crimsonphantasmagoria in the hopes she blesses us with some lesbian solas
Thank you so much to @fadetouchedlurker and @crimsonphantasmagoria for tagging me š
I was actually in a writing mood tonight so, let's go. I am back on my homoerotic Solavellan bullshit, as always
āBeing able to defend oneself with any weapon available is a skill that should never be underestimatedā Solas says, after a beat too long. Taārevasā other hand is still resting over the swordās pommel, its point buried firmly in the ground. Their fingers, seemingly unable to ever be idle, are loosely tapping the shiny steel, tendons and prominent veins shifting under taut skin, and his mouth feels ever so slightly too dry.
What are these incorrigible gays up to now? Place your bets!
Tagging lovingly @virshiral, @theriothag (who also tagged me a while back but I was in hibernation lmao) and @lampost-in-winter āļø
Thank you sooo much to the dear @lampost-in-winter for giving me the excuse to post this because I've had this made in my phone for a while but I always forgot to do anything with it LMAOO
Putting everything under here because it might get long, WHOOPS
(Oc) Fen'inan Lavellan: Childhood sweetheart, half of their heart, former lover, always their everything despite their paths being forced to diverge. In my worldstate they kept in contact via letters through the years, and when they do get to reunite in the Clan after the events of Trespasser, she is once again their rock and their safe haven (and she is soo mad at Solas. Better run in the Fade from a very angry Keeper Lavellan, wolf boy. She will hunt him down. And then they will kiss because we have decided it shall be so)
Cole: They have always gotten along ever since they met, and Ta'revas has always been this sort of parent figure alongside Solas to him, but also something of an older sibiling getting mad at everyone that treats him badly or is mean to him. They enjoy each other's company and they are quite fond (after the initial shock and confusion) of his cryptic way of speaking. Do they make sense of it? Almost never. But they still find it immensely amusing
Leliana: At first there was only a good amount of respect for her abilities and for her role as Spymaster, but slowly they started getting along more personally and even dared to call each other friends. Perhaps they had been a little afraid of her, in those moments where she had risked stepping onto the path of being hardened, but it worked out in the end. She's a good and ver badass Divine in my worldstate.
Cassandra: Distrust at first was only natural because of where they started, but it lasted probably a total of a day, maybe two, because despite their differences these two grew close real fast. By the end of everything they are each other's ride or die, Ta'revas adores her (and teases her immensely over her being shyer than she lets on) and she would do literally anything for them, and will always have their back. Plus, they are the (alleged) founders of Skyhold's book club
Dorian: They clashed at first due to Dorian's views on slavery, but it lasted only as long as his conviction did. Ta'revas likes spending time with him researching, they respect his knowledge and abilities as a mage, and it makes for a very easy friendship. He is mercilessly teased for years over having been extremely oblivious to their relationship with Solas until he discovered it in the most peculiar way possible, which is just so funny to me.
Sera: Her views on elves as a whole and the way that she behaved towards them for being dalish was grating in the beginning, and they fought about it one too many times. She eased off a little with time, and they tried to put themselves in her shoes more, so in the end they developed this older/younger sibiling dynamic, where they bicker constantly with no actual bite to it and are secretly fond of eachother.
Solas: I mean where to even start. Since the very first second that they saw each other Ta'revas locked on him, at first just intrigued by his magic and his stories, but the crush came fast. It must have been excruciating to watch from the outside, for the tension could have been cut with a knife. They challenge each other and always keep the other on their toes, but they also love to just be quiet together, exist in the same space and let everything else go by. They love him with no reserve, and he loves them just the same, failing spectacularly to keep them at an arms length the way he had planned to. They never turned their back on him, no matter the revelations, no matter the grief. They stood by him even when he left, and had always been vocal about it, not caring for criticism (that's their whole husband, what would anyone expect).
Vivienne: Due to her thoughts on the Circles and about the right of freedom of mages, they do not get along. She is opinionated, and so is Ta'revas, and neither has any intention of backing down over their principles. They are adamant about the complete dismantling of those institutions, and she does not like that. They fight well together and still work efficiently with one another, but the line is drawn at that. As time passes, especially after her personal quest, they do warm a bit more towards her, and she to them. They still fight and bicker, but it has less animosity to it than before.
Morrigan: Ta'revas had been hesitant about her at first, but they have grown to respect her both as the very strong person that she is and as a reliable ally. They love to hear her talk about her Warden (Augustine Surana, in my worldstate), and they adore Kieran. When the Anchor starts acting up after Solas is gone, she is the one they turn to in a moment of hopelessness to help with soothing it, and she takes them in in an instant.
Blackwall: They find him very interesting to talk to and they like how soft and kind he is to everyone that needs it, especially once they get to Skyhold. There is just one tiny moment of distrust, when his whole past is revealed, but that's quick to fade and be rectified. They are a firm believer in second chances to those that prove themselves actually changed, and he is not shunned by them for it.
Varric: These two go way back. Having known eachother from his Kirkwall days, it is instantaneous for them to go back to being insufferable best friends, much to everyone's annoyance. Varric was quite relieved to see a familiar face in all that mess, and Ta'revas found his presence grounding. And if they enjoyed playing the invisible matchmaker with him and Cassandra, well, no one needs to know.
The Iron Bull: Drinking buddy superme. They are great friends and they fight very well together, probably due to their very fiery personalities matching well. Ta'revas cares for him and the Chargers deeply, and has been very supportive of his choice to separate from the Qun. Earlier in their acquaintance, they would tease him over his crush on Dorian, but they would soon realise that two can play at that game, and gets mercilessly made fun of for pining over Solas.
Cullen: To put it plainly and simply, Ta'revas hates Cullen. He does not have the luck of someone who did not know him before, because Ta'revas did know him, they were right there in Kirkwall as he perpetrated the same abuse and dehumanisation of mages that their own father had been traumatised by while in that very same Circle. They do not think he has changed as much as he says he did, based on how he still acts towards and speaks of mages. They do not make him keep up his lyrium addiction, because that would be unfair and unnecessarily cruel, but in everything else, they rarely listen to him, and when they do, it is with no small amount of bile.
Josephine: It's very easy for them to become fast friends, because she is kind and sweet and a very good advisor, and they care so much for her and enjoy listening to all her tales about her homeland. On their occasional kitchen heist in which they (allegedly) nick some sweet treats for Solas, they always make sure to get something nutty and honeyed for her and make it appear on her desk with no note.
I love exploring relationships with inner circles in these games!!! They are so fun and so intricate
Gently tagging @fadetouchedlurker, @crimsonphantasmagoria and @foxeareddevilish, but also anyone that wants to do it and just needed an excuse to >:3
