Summary
Just as he was getting used to his new position as the commander of the Inquisition’s army, a massive upheaval came when Cullen met—under perhaps some of the worst circumstances two people could hope to meet—Aridhel Lavellan, the only other survivor of the Inquisitor’s clan following their grim fate in Wycome.
A fate sealed with Cullen’s poor discernment in the matter. If this was the Maker’s will, he must have the cruelest sense of humour.
But now, he was growing used to Aridhel's company as well. Far too used to it, maybe.
At Felan’s behest, Aridhel had stayed on with the Inquisition, and thereupon became a sharp thorn in Cullen’s side. That irritation eventually dulled with time, and they’d forged an unusual camaraderie. His fighting prowess proved a boon to the Inquisition’s army, and Cullen…well, he found he quite enjoyed running their soldiers through drills with Aridhel by his side.
He wasn’t sure when his feelings deepened past tenuous friendship, nor what he should do about it, if anything at all. Cullen was not even certain whether what he was feeling was merely confused admiration for the man, guilt, or something more than a passing infatuation.- Language:

Summary
Ever look in the mirror, wishing you were someone else?
Sure you have, probably.
Born in a different body?
Perhaps.
Now, has someone inspired a visceral sort of envy in you? A brand of covetous admiration you can't quite put your finger on? An inspirational need that simultaneously makes you uncomfortable and shines a light on just how unwell you fit in your own too taut skin... -

In your shrouded forest, the tree does not fall without evidence. Yet it still rots, where it lies here. Of course it does.

Summary
I watched, observant from afar, outside but within me
Waged a war upon my conscience, anger in that particular, heated colour
Fracturing pieces, stowing away, amassing truths
Regaling my own self with tales whilst lying outwards
Cracking my teeth on bitten brass bullets,
That sharp, metallic tang, pushing me, into me
Gazing still upon my friend without ever living inside the distance,
The millimetres between a warm finger-splay...

A Love Like Blood by DesMotsComme_Violence (P0ETICA), poetica (P0ETICA)
Fandom: Vampyr (Video Game)
13 Dec 2020
Summary
This started out as an amorphous idea that slowly took shape... then went off the rails.
A post-canon, character-driven McReid series/original AU showing their "adventures" through the years, mainly meant to explore their relationship in a way that is authentic to who they are (while I also attempt to breathe more life into Geoffrey).

Summary
Din considered how he should announce himself as to not startle him, but it seemed Cobb had the one up on him.
He rolled onto his back with his pistol raised before Din could even blink.
Then Cobb blew out a breath. “Stars above, Mando, you nearly had me there.” He shoved the blaster into his thigh holster and twisted the rest of his body to lie flat on his back before he’d get his feet under him.
Din helped him up the rest of the way, and didn’t budge as Cobb held on to give him a hug.

Summary
Written for teapirate on tumblr, based on a picture of Sebastian's very attractive posterior. Hawke can't help but touch things in the Black Emporium, and a pot of enchanted incense shows him the life he could have led with a naughtier Sebastian. ‘Look, all I’m saying,’ Varric seemed to find it necessary to point out again, ‘is that you’re starting to remind me of Xenon. The only thing you don’t have is the urchin…though I’m sure some starry-eyed Fereldan refugee kid might be convinced to volunteer for the role free of charge, once you mentioned you’re the Champion.’
