From – you guessed it – more Fenris x Rynne Hawke:

Her spine was already starting to arch, pressing her skin closer to his fingers, and Fenris finally smiled. He took her chin in a gentle grip. “Shut up, Hawke,” he whispered, then gently kissed her raspberry-red lips.

From the next installment of Fenris & Rynne Hawke – hoping to post tomorrow:

Fenris studied her face carefully, trying to paint the exact flickering shade of her amber eyes and the precise curl of her lips into his mind’s eye.

15 Questions Meme

pikapeppa:

I was tagged by @thevikingwomanand @galadrieljones! Thanks friends! 🙂

answer 15 qs and then tag 15 mutuals 🙂

Are you named after someone? Yes. I am literally named after my mother. We also are both published in academic journals so we both use our middle initials out of habit like pretentious jerks. (I dislike my IRL name in case this wasn’t clear.)

When was the last time you cried? On Tuesday while watching season 3 of Daredevil. Someone died and I BAWLED LIKE A DAMN BABY.

Do you have kids? Nope.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? Ummm, not really? I don’t think? I use wit and cheek more than outright sarcasm.

What’s the first thing you notice about people? Height, eyes, and mouth I guess? Hey, fun fact, there was this research article I read once that used eye tracking and found that people from different ethnic backgrounds tend to focus on different facial features. That sounds vague, yes, but mainly because I can’t remember the details of the article and I don’t want to say something erroneous 😅

What’s your eye colour? Brown.

Scary Movies or Happy Endings? Both, depending on my mood! But I definitely watch more movies with happy endings than scary movies.

Any special talents? I feel like writing is a pretty decent talent of mine, as well as a joy. I’m also a good listener.

Where were you born? Toronto, Canada.

What are your hobbies? Writing, video games, TV and movies, and discussing video games/TV/movies in exhaustive and fervent detail with the fiancé.

Do you have any pets? Yes! A cat named Meeko. She is my furbaby.

How tall are you? Approx. 5′3″

What sports do you play/have you played? None. I don’t like competitive sports. I used to be on the volleyball team when I was 12, but I’m left-handed and I had a lot of trouble not serving into the wall, if that makes sense, and it was really humiliating so I quit. Clearly it scarred me for life. LMAO

Favourite subject at school? Uhh let’s go with favourite undergrad course. I took a class called Writing Systems, which was a linguistics course focusing on the different ways that language is represented in written form across the world and through history. That was my favourite and most interesting class of all time.

Dream job? If I stayed in healthcare, I would want to be a psychotherapist. If I worked in a different field, I would want to be a fiction/romance/fantasy editor.

Five Favourite Couples GIF meme

Tagged by @alyssalenko aaaand maybe by someone else at some point too? So sorry guys!

I stuck to canon/canon-ish ships for this, otherwise ya’ll know Aloy/Nil would be my #1. ANYWAY, In no particular order:

Garrus Vakarian & Shepard, Mass Effect

The adorable inter-species flirting. The unequivocal mutual support. “Meet me at the bar.” God, just SUCH a good romance and relationship.

Rick & Evelyn, The Mummy & The Mummy Returns

Favourite example of sort-of enemies-to-lovers. They are such a good couple, and more imporantly, such a good team. Especially in The Mummy Returns when their kid is abducted and they have to work together to get him back, and they’re both so distressed but SUPPORTING EACH OTHER SO WELL and it just, kill me ok?

Randall and Beth, This Is Us

The support. The adorable married flirting. Beth being fiercely protective and Randall just wanting to be the perfect husband and father. UGH THEY’RE TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD.

Frank Castle and Karen Page, Daredevil/The Punisher

Ok FINE, this isn’t a canon ship (yet?!) but GOD I WANT IT TO BE CANON SO FUCKING BADLY. I am TRASH for this ship. Come on, don’t even try and tell me that these two murdering broken self-sacrificing idiots don’t love each other. DON’T EVEN TRY AND TELL ME.

Solas & Lavellan, Dragon Age: Inquisition

Welp, if this gif by Nipuni isn’t accurate as hell, I don’t know what is. I don’t think I’ll ever get over Solavellan. It’s just so tragic and beautiful and perfectly horrible and I have too many feelings over it.

Tagging forward to everyone who would like to do this! *cracks fingers to start tagging everyone* @vgtravlr @ocean-in-my-rebel-soul @buttsonthebeach @alyssalenko @oops-gingermoment @thevikingwoman @galadrieljones @apostatetabris @chillyrose @littlesnowarrow @vythika96 @sun-and-shadow-aloy @empresstress13 @wardsarefunctioning @mistressdreadwolf @cutieink @rhythm-diary @lylypuceonarchive @emileoutofit @iarollane and anyone else who wants to play!

Describe yourself using three fictional characters

Tagged by the darling @chillyrose! In no particular order:

Cole, Dragon Age Inquisition

This might be more of a wishful-thinking choice than one that really reflects me, but… man, Cole just wants to help people and heal the hurts, and I feel that. I wish I could do what spirit!Cole does. I’m envious of his ability to help people in the space of a second and then just melt away into the background without them ever knowing he was there. I wish that was me.

Steve, The Haunting of Hill House

I recently finished watching this series and I am the Steve of the Crain family. Without going into too much detail, his ‘ghosts’/baggage are the exact same as mine and it’s all just a little tooooo close to home. Get out of my head, Netflix.

Varric Tethras, Dragon Age II & Inquisition

If Cole is who I wish I was, then Varric is a better reflection of who I am. He and I are both true neutrals alignment-wise. I kind of see Varric as the guy in Kirkwall/Skyhold who just stands back observing everyone’s shenanigans without judging, and I’d say that’s pretty close to me. I’m much happier to be a sidekick than the person in the spotlight. And as Varric put it best, “I am but a humble servant to my loyal readers!” 😂❤️

Tagging forward to: EVERYONE. Seriously, this is a neat meme. Expose your inner selves, my friends! @vgtravlr @littlesnowarrow @ocean-in-my-rebel-soul@galadrieljones @alyssalenko @thevikingwoman @oops-gingermoment @sun-and-shadow-aloy @fogsblue @cylonalyna @lylypuceonarchive @emileoutofit @cutieink @bluegreenketchup @hzd-tombraider-lore @happywife416 @mistressdreadwolf @empresstress13 @wardsarefunctioning and anyone else who would like to play!

From the next little Fenris x Rynne Hawke drabble; subject to possible edits:

Hawke frowned. “What in the bloody Void did Anders say to you? Something tells me he needs a good roughing-up. I could get some of Athenril’s people to make it look like a slip-and-fall.”

Tagging forward to @thevikingwoman @ocean-in-my-rebel-soul @buttsonthebeach @alyssalenko @apostatetabris back to @galadrieljones @oops-gingermoment @mrscullensrutherford @happywife416 @ma-sulevin @bronzeagelove and anyone else who wants to play! Let’s see what ya’ll are working on!

First Line Meme

Tagged by @thevikingwoman – thanks lethallin! I did this a while back – see here – but I have written more since then!

Rules: post the first line of your last 10 fics, then tag 10 people!

1. It’s been almost a year since the Exalted Council, and almost a year since Arya lost her left arm.
Blackwall x Arya Lavellan // Hold Me Up, Tie Me Down (WIP – almost finished!)

2. “So,” Hawke said. She handed Fenris a glass of wine and plopped down beside him in front of the fireplace. “Sebastian has been leaning on you pretty hard lately, hasn’t he?”
Fenris x Rynne Hawke // Losing My Religion

3. Fenris had lost count of the number of times he’d walked away from Hawke.
Fenris x Rynne Hawke // Baby, Come Back And Fight With Me

4. Crumbs crumbling in her fingers. She offers the scone to me. “Would you like some?”
Solas x Elia Lavellan from Cole’s POV // Cole

5. When Fenris finally decided to open up to Hawke, he made sure that he was drunk.
Fenris x Rynne Hawke // Astia Valla Femundis

6. Hawke’s saunter was slow and casual as she led Fenris, Anders and Varric into the Blooming Rose. Once they reached the main room, she shifted her weight to one hip and folded her arms.
Fenris x Rynne Hawke // Always Smiling

7. A bright bark of laughter floats out of the bookshop.
Blackwall x Arya Lavellan // Her Perfumed Sanctuary

8. With all the care of a mother laying down a child, Hawke laid her cards on the table.
Fenris x Rynne Hawke // Gambling

9. “Come on, Chuckles, you should loosen up once in a while. Get your head out of your paints and your parchment. Consider it a team building exercise.”
Solas x Elia Lavellan // Stand Your Ground

10. A firm grip shook Nil’s shoulder, and he jolted at the rude awakening.
Aloy x Nil // “No worries, we still have time.”

Anyone see any patterns in my first lines? I’m not really sure – I think I tend to try and deliver the reader into the middle of a scene instead of setting it up (line #6 is an exception to this), but otherwise there aren’t too many patterns that I can discern. Anyone else see anything?

Tagging forward to @apostatetabris @happywife416 @buttsonthebeach @ocean-in-my-rebel-soul @bronzeagelove @thealexmachina @ma-sulevin @sun-and-shadow-aloy and anyone else who would like to play because I am horrible and probably forgetting some people whose first lines would be really interesting to see. PLEASE, EVERYONE, JOIN ON IN.

Last Line Meme

Nobody even asked me to do this meme this time. I JUST FEEL LIKE IT, OKAY?

From a very fluffy and NSFW Blackwall/Arya Lavellan WIP I’m working on t~~o work out some of the angst from writing Fenhawke.~~

In which Baewall and Arya get into some impromptu roleplay:

**Blackwall has always approved of Arya in the role of command, and he’s always been happy to obey her orders. But he anticipates that this new role will be a special kind of torture at her hands.**

Little does he know that he will, in fact, suffer most of this torture kneeling at her feet.

Tagging forward to @alyssalenko, @buttsonthebeach, @oops-gingermoment, @thevikingwoman, @apostatetabris, @mrscullensrutherford, @ocean-in-my-rebel-soul @happywife416 aaaaand EVERYONE and ANYONE who wants to play.

OC Flirting Meme

tagged by @galadrieljones, @wardsarefunctioning and @chillyrose!

Elia Lavellan (romance: Solas)

Elia is not much of a flirt. She expresses her interest (romantic or platonic) by listening carefully and asking thoughtful questions. For Solas specifically, if the Fade Kiss™ hadn’t happened, she would have eventually just told him she liked him with no guile whatsoever.

Arya Lavellan (romance: Blackwall)

Arya is my Smooth Operator™. She is an excellent flirt. She could charm the pants off of anyone. She uses all the tricks: subtle but sexy body language, coy facial expressions, subtle (or not-so-subtle) flattery, touching, you name it. In Blackwall’s case, ARYA USED FLIRTING AND IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE. He was dead in the water from her very first smile.

Athera Lavellan (romance: Abelas)

Athera is a sweet-natured goof. She cracks jokes like a fiend, but she gets flustered around people she has a crush on, especially when said person is a cranky ancient Sentinel. She’s the definition of adorkable.

Rynne Hawke (romance: Fenris)

Hawke has no chill and no filter. Her approach to wooing Fenris is basically to proposition him so outrageously and so frequently that he’ll eventually give in. She’s joking half the time, though, of course! (Or is she?) She flirts with everyone this way. (But she means it with Fenris.) Wait, what?

Yes, she’s confused too. And so is Fenris.

Bonus: Nil (Horizon Zero Dawn)

Obviously Nil isn’t my OC, but I’ve written so much about him that I kind of see him as one? Anyway, Nil essentially flirts by just flat-out telling Aloy that he likes her and why he likes her, often in his own special way that I like to call “bloody poetry” lol. He doesn’t play games because he doesn’t know how or see the purpose of them. Once they’re in an established relationship he flirts with Aloy/gets her attention when she’s busy by playfully teasing her.
