Blackwall/Lavellan smut: Kiss On A Scar

A @dadrunkwriting prompt fill for the lovely @elfsplaining – kiss on a scar for Blackwall/Arya!  

Read here on AO3. Smut alert. ^_^

************

“What about this one?” Arya asks.

She strokes Blackwall’s left forearm, and he glances at the fine slash of a scar under her fingers. “Dagger. Tavern fight,” he says. He points sheepishly to another mark at the corner of his eyebrow. “This is from the same fight. A few shards of glass.”

She shoots him a wry smirk. “Indiscretions from your youth?” she teases.

He manages a weak smile in return. His days of tavern fights aren’t far enough in his past for his liking. “I was old enough to know better, my lady,” he says softly.

Her teasing expression softens, but she doesn’t press him. She points to a row of tiny crescent-shaped marks that line the upper edge of his right pec. “And these?”

She blinks innocently, and he shoots her a chiding look. “You know what those are from,” he drawls, but he can’t quite hide his smirk.

Arya pointedly inspects her nails. “Ah, yes, how could I forget?” she purrs, then squeaks with amusement when he playfully pinches her bum. She shuffles backward on his lap to run her palm over a long and shallow scar that spans his abdomen. “This is a wicked one. What about this?”

“Dodged some sorry mercenary’s axe. Just barely,” he says gruffly.

Her eyes widen as she traces her finger along the length of the scar. “Damn,” she murmurs. “I’m glad you did.” She exhales and points to a second somewhat smaller scar below his right ribs. “And this? From the same fight?”

He peers down at his own naked chest for a moment. “I can’t recall,” he finally says. “Maybe.”

Her eyes widen. “You can’t recall?” she demands. “This is a big one!”

“Arya, I’m covered in scars,” he reasons. “I’ve seen many battles. I can’t always remember which scars are from when. Do you remember what all your scars are from?”

“Yes!” she replies. She slides off of his lap to sit cross-legged beside him on the bed, then points to a faint pink burn mark on the inside of her right wrist. “This one is from a cooking pot.” She indicates a row of very fine faint lines on the back of her hand. “This was a fennec scratch – one of the other kids had some cubs when I was young. And this…” She pushes up her sleeve and points to a white streak of puckered skin on her upper left arm – “…was an arrow wound from a stupid clanmate. Some of the other archers in my clan were not as good as me.” She inspects her right forearm and finds no scars, then lifts the hem of her shirt.

Blackwall watches fondly as she inspects her abdomen. He rolls onto his side to face her and smoothes a hand over her belly. His thumb lingers on a large and jagged scar to the left of her navel, near her hip. “This is from that tumble you took when Haven fell,” he says. His stomach lurches at the mere mention of it, but Arya simply nods.

“That’s right. A rock or wooden slat or something got me,” she says vaguely, and he swallows another pulse of dismay at the thought.

He leans in and kisses the scar, then smoothes his hand along the side of her bare left thigh. There’s a crisscross of fine scratches there, still red and healing in places, and he frowns. “What happened here?”

“Dragon nettle. In the garden.” She snickers. “I don’t have a green thumb.”

“Did you fall into the nettle patch?” he asks, only half-joking. “That’s not a brown thumb, Arya. That’s two left feet.”

She scoffs and pinches his arm in rebuke, and he chuckles. He lifts himself to his knees, then gently tugs her ankle to unfold her legs. He settles himself between her knees and leans over to kiss the healing scratches on her thigh.

She strokes his hair affectionately, and he shoots her a quick smile as he runs his palms along her shins. There are myriad bruises there, and a dark round scar graces each of her knees. He brushes the scars with his thumbs. “These happened when you skidded on the ice to shoot that pride demon just outside of Sahrnia.”

She lifts her eyebrows. “Yes, you’re right.” A slow smile lights her face. “Keeping track of my injuries, are you?”

He is, in fact. It’s not logical, but part of his mind considers Arya’s every wound to be his own personal failure. Blackwall is her shield and her shelter, and if she’s injured, it’s because he failed to guard her.

“You are precious, Your Worship. You’ve got too many scars already.” He leaves a protective kiss on each marked knee. He slides his hands back up along her legs, then kisses the inside of her thigh.

She inhales deeply at the touch of his lips. Her fingers slide gently through his hair again. “Come here and kiss me,” she says.

Her voice is low, lightly brushed with a lilt of lust, and Blackwall smiles. “In a moment, my lady,” he says. He drops another kiss on her tender inner thigh, savouring the velvety skin that edges her undergarments.

Her knees drift apart, and he takes advantage of her widespread legs to trace his tongue along the hem of her smallclothes.

She lifts her hips toward his face, and his keen ear catches the sweetness of her sharp inhale. “Blackwall, come up here,” she whimpers.

“Just a moment,” he repeats distractedly; her feminine scent is calling him, and he can’t resist slipping one finger into the edge of her smalls, curious if she’s as ready as her perfume would imply.

His hopes are confirmed as her precious moisture coats his fingertip. She’s slick and wet already, and he swallows his eagerness as he lightly strokes the slippery heat of her cleft.

A moan trembles from her lips as she arches toward his touch. “Mmmmyes,” she mewls, and Blackwall happily accepts her assent.

Instants later, her smalls are forgotten on the floor, and Arya’s fingers clench convulsively in the sheets as he laves the length of her sex with his tongue. He traces the path of her folds up to the pearl of her clit, then strokes the swollen little nub with his lower lip.

“Blackwall,” she whimpers. His name is like a song in the cadence of her voice, and the desire and desperation in her tone make his cock pulse between his legs. He presses his pelvis against the bed to calm himself, but a contrary surge of pleasure renders him lightheaded.

His hand drifts between his legs while he tastes her scented heat. He carefully squeezes his shaft, and another eager rush subsumes him.

A blissful groan escapes his throat. It bleeds across his lips to vibrate against the apex of her thighs, and Arya gasps anew as the depth of his groan joins the press of his lips and the lapping of his tongue, painting her pussy with myriad shades of pleasure.

“Oh gods, Blackwall, come here now,” she whines, and finally he obeys, lifting his face from her delectable folds to look at her. She eagerly pulls his hair until he shuffles closer and straddles her knees, his thumbs sliding from the crests of her hipbones and up along her waist.

He slides her shirt higher, revealing the tempting little globes of her breasts, and she eagerly lifts her shoulders from the bed so he can pull the garment off. It joins her smallclothes on the floor, and Arya grabs the back of his neck as he nuzzles her breast, then suckles the pointed peak of her nipple.

Her knee drifts along the inside of his thigh to press against his balls, and he releases her nipple with a gasp of longing. Suddenly her hand is on his belly, burrowing into his trousers, and he gasps again as she runs her fingers along his steely length.

Her thumb strokes the head of his cock, and he moans helplessly against her breast. “Arya,” he pleads.

She presses his balls with her knee, sending a white-hot rush of pleasure through his abdomen. “Lie on your back,” she orders.

He obeys without a qualm, and Arya is straddling his face within seconds, her knees bracketing his head and her hands shoving his trousers down so his manhood can spring free. He barely has time to admire the shining slickness of her flesh before her mouth takes him in a hot wet stroke.

He chokes out a groan of pleasure, then grabs her thighs and pulls her flush to his face. He can feel her hand caressing his balls as she suckles his cock, like little bolts of bliss that accompany the pressure of her mouth. He moans unabashedly into her pussy, his pleasure melding with her own as her juices paint his lips.

Arya presses down against his face, and he slides his tongue against her with firm devotion. Her wetness holds all the appeal of water from the clearest mountain spring, and he happily devours every drop. He thoroughly kisses her sex, his lips firm and his tongue swirling as he teases her swollen clit, and soon she’s undulating against him, her pelvis rolling smooth and slow across his eager tongue.

Her fingers start to tighten against the bare skin of his thighs. Her mouth goes still on his cock and the flexing of her hips grows jerky. Her focus is sharpening, and Blackwall knows she’s close. He wraps his arms around her waist and redoubles his efforts, the flat of his tongue caressing her cleft and clit in a smooth and steady swirl.

Her nails bite into his thighs as she hits her peak, and she briefly releases his cock with a high-pitched moan of bliss. Then suddenly she takes him deep again, and it’s like his Dalish lover has gone wild: her hands grab his thighs as she zealously rides his face, and his own lust trebles as she fucks him hard and fast with the lush heat of her mouth.

When the shuddering of her thighs has stilled, she tries to rise away from him with her mouth still on his cock, but Blackwall tightens his arms around her waist. “Stay here,” he gasps. He’s drunk on her, intoxicated by her musky scent and the slick feel of her arousal on his tongue and the carmine flush of her pussy, and having her straddling his face is fuel to his ardent fire.

Her thighs relax at his words, and she continues to work his cock with her tight and slippery throat. His hips rise helplessly to give her his full length, and he groans as she squeezes his cock with a swallow.

He holds her tight and thrusts his tongue inside of her, and she releases him with a gasp. “Fuck,” she whines, then takes him deep again, her moans of pleasure vibrating into his abdomen in a sweet staccato as the head of his cock slides deep and cuts off her air.

His tongue delves inside of her as he buries himself in her mouth, and when the surging roar of his pleasure finally crests, he groans his approval into the wetness of her groin. Arya’s lips slide along his shaft as she swallows his release, her tongue tenderly tracing his length until his limbs go limp with completion.

Finally she lifts her face and sighs happily. “Gods, that’s good,” she breathes, then slides off the bed to her feet. She walks shakily over to the desk and reaches for the jug of water. “Would you like some?” she calls over her shoulder.

“Yes please,” he says. His gaze travels across her naked back as she pours two cups. Another scar from the fall of Haven taunts him from her left shoulder blade, and a yellowing bruise on the back of her calf is a reminder of a Red Templar attack on the Storm Coast.

She brings the water back to the bed, then cozies up to him with cup in hand. “How are you?” she purrs. It’s an idle post-coital question, laced with a mischievous drawl in her cheeky voice, and his heart squeezes with affection.

“Wonderful, my lady,” he replies, and she grins before kissing him. He gently traces the angle of her jaw as he returns her kiss. Arya’s scars and bruises might mark his mistakes, but Blackwall will gladly count them every night if it leads to this.

Post-Trespasser Blackwall/Lavellan: Fix You

This is a short multi-chapter fic about Blackwall struggling to help Arya Lavellan adjust to the loss of her arm after the events of Trespasser. I wrote this story because I thought it would be interesting – and important – to explore how a couple copes with an unexpected limb amputation, and the ways it can affect their relationship. 

I did my best to research before writing this, but please note that I’m neither an archer nor an amputee; so if there is anything that is grossly inaccurate, please feel free to message me and let me know.

Read here on AO3. An excerpt from the first chapter is below the cut. 

A dull cramping pain reaches through Blackwall’s fingers.

He loosens the anxious fist he’s unknowingly formed and forces himself to take a slow, deep breath, but he doesn’t break his gaze from the eluvian. The Inquisitor been gone for eighteen minutes now – almost nineteen – and he forces himself not to imagine all the ways she could be hurt in such an interminable length of time.

He glares at the eluvian’s inert facade. Its kaleidoscopic surface went dark the moment she stepped through it; otherwise he would have been at her heels, no more than a step behind.

Must be an elf thing that closed it, he thinks idly. Idle thoughts are good: they’re neutral and bland, and they distract him from the horrors of his morbid imagination. Idle thoughts pull him away from the idea of her facing a contingent of qunari on her own. Or another eight-foot-tall saarebas that they didn’t know about. Or-

“You don’t think Solas has… done something, do you?” Dorian’s voice is sharp with anxiety, and Blackwall shoots him a glare. The Tevinter mage is pacing in front of the mirror, his nervous steps a sharp juxtaposition with Blackwall’s utter stillness.

“It’s all right,” Cole says soothingly. He looks both sadder and more hopeful than usual. “Sorrowful, sorry, but safe. A wolf’s jaws hound his heels, but his heart isn’t wholly hardened. She won’t be harmed.” He turns his pale-eyed gaze to Blackwall’s face.

Blackwall gives a tight nod, but he keeps his gaze on the eluvian. Cole might have an uncanny knack for knowing things he couldn’t possibly know, but Blackwall won’t feel calm until Arya steps back through the infernal mirror.

Eons later, when Blackwall is sure that Dorian’s heels are going to wear a furrow into the ground, the eluvian comes to life with a burst of light and colour. Blackwall pulls his sword from its sheath and strides to the mirror’s side, his heart hammering an anxious beat in his ears.

Arya pushes her way through the glass and collapses to her knees, and he’s instantly on the ground beside her, his sword forgotten as he runs his hands over her arms, her shoulders, her neck, searching for injuries, making sure she’s all in one piece. “Are you all right?” he rasps.

She lifts her face to meet his gaze, and he recoils slightly in surprise: she’s grinning.

Her amethyst eyes are overbright, and she lets out a breathy little laugh. “Fucking Solas,” she says. Then she laughs again and starts to push herself to her feet.

He grasps her left hand and helps her rise, then belatedly notices that her palm isn’t pulsing with that sickening green light anymore. A leap of hope leaves him breathless for a moment. “Your hand,” he says. “It’s – is it fixed? Solas fixed it?”

“Let me see,” Dorian snaps. He hurries over and takes her hand, but her eyes are on Blackwall’s face.

“He’s Fen’Harel,” she says.

Blackwall frowns. “What?”

“Solas is Fen’Harel,” she says loudly, as though he’s being obtuse. “The Dread Wolf, the trickster god – no, not a trickster. The rebel god. The big bad rebel wolf.” She breaks into laughter again, and this time she sounds distinctly hysterical.

Suddenly Cole pipes in. “It’s gone,” he says softly.

Blackwall turns to him, his frustration deepening by the second. “Arya’s mark, you mean? She’s better now?” This is all he cares about, it’s all that matters; is she cured or not? Is her bloody hand still killing her or not?

“Cole is right – the mark and its magic are gone,” Dorian confirms. “But-”

Arya pulls her left hand from the mage’s grasp and cradles it close to her chest. “Come on,” she says. “We’ve got to get back. Leliana needs to know. They all need to… Andruil’s tit, they’re going to laugh when they find out. Or maybe they won’t.” She giggles, sounding slightly punch-drunk, then sets off in the direction that they came.

Her steps are weaving slightly as though she’s tipsy, and Blackwall’s momentary relief is swiftly subsumed by worry. He places a solicitous hand at the small of her back, his other hand reaching out to support her left arm, but she defensively pulls her arm away from him.

“Arya,” he says tensely. “What’s the matter? Does it hurt?”

She smiles vacantly at him. “Can you believe it? Solas, the Dread Wolf. We had a wolf in our midst all this time, and we didn’t even know. A wolf in elf’s clothing.” She laughs again, a bright and brittle sound, then hisses and clutches her arm.

His anxiety ratchets higher, and he turns to Dorian in desperation. “Can’t you do something?” he asks.

Dorian’s face is a picture of anxious apology. “I don’t think I can. Her hand is… There’s no magical signature anymore, but it’s just… off. I don’t…”

“Let’s get back,” Arya interrupts, and the men fall into step beside her as she strides along the path in a haphazard manner. “Varric will have a field day with this. It’s the best story I’ve ever heard. How did we not know?” She suddenly stops, forcing Cole to bump into her, and her wide violet eyes are on Blackwall’s face again.

“How did I not know?” she demands. “All that time – he came with us everywhere. He was so fucking knowledgeable. Always with an answer about every fucking thing. How could I not have known? So stupid, thinking he was our friend. I…”

Blackwall cups her face as she trails off. “You’re not stupid,” he says firmly. “But you’re hurt, and you need help.” Then he frowns as he realizes she’s not looking at him anymore; her eyes are fixed on the ground.

He follows her gaze down to find a faint golden glitter, and the bottom falls out of his stomach.

A gold ring lies on the ground: the wedding ring Blackwall gave her, shaped like a halla’s horns.

It’s attached to a finger. Arya’s finger, which has fallen off.

A fuzzy kind of silence fills his ears as he stares at the finger on the ground. Arya slowly bends down and reaches for the ring with a trembling hand. As she touches the glittering band of gold, the flesh of her fallen finger crumbles into ash.

A shiver of horror runs down his spine, and his eyes snap back to her wounded left hand. Sure enough, the skin of her fingers is cracking like a dried riverbed, wisps of flesh crumbling and trickling away like burnt-out coal.

She lifts the golden ring and rises to her feet, and in the time it takes for her eyes to land on his face, her first two fingers crumble and drift apart.

He stares at her in stupid, breathless shock as she holds the ring out to him. “Hang on to this for me?” she says. “I might be a few fingers short.” A sick sort of smile lifts her lips, then she falls to her knees.

Blackwall ignores the bile rising in his throat as he sweeps her into his arms. Her swiftly dissipating left arm is still tucked against her chest, her thumb now gone, the knuckles flaking away as though they were made of nothing more substantial than sand.

“Damn it,” Dorian hisses. “We need to move. Quickly.”

But Blackwall is frozen. Her feverish eyes are glued to his face, empty and unfocused, and he can’t look away.

She smiles once more. “I’m going to fucking murder him,” she mumbles, then her eyes roll back in a dead faint.

“It’s gone,” Cole repeats in a calm and tragic voice, and suddenly Blackwall is running, clutching Arya’s unconscious body close as he sprints for the eluvian that will take them back to Halamshiral. He hears Dorian’s panicked breaths to his left, Cole’s soft and rapid tread to his right, his own harsh breathing in his ears, but none of it matters.

All that matters is what he can’t hear: Arya’s voice, the voice he loves the most, and the one that’s fallen silent for now.
