skyeventideThank you for writing for me! If you are drawing, just make sure not to include those DNW that would apply to a visual medium and feel free to take inspiration from the prompts I offer. Illustrations or comics or portraits are all good. I very much enjoy some symbolism in art but don't feel bound by that.
General DNW
AUs unless requested • No BIG canon divergencies unless requested. • Crack fic. • Focus on pregnancy or childbirth. • Focus on gender dysphoria. • Character bashing. I am happy with characters disagreeing passionately and having negative opinions of other characters, but don't make them into your mouthpiece. Also don't make fun of or belittle characters gratuitously, especially those of the requested ships. • Focus on scat, piss, vomit. I'm fine with mentions of unsanitary things, but no focus on it; as in, nothing that is deliberately trying to squick the reader out or is kinking on these fluids. (Blood is perfectly fine.) • Second person writing. • "Educational" fiction. Some of the characters in my requests can be objectively and patently wrong in their beliefs, we all know that, so please when writing a pov that's wrong/prejudiced in some manner don't insert any "and that, kids, was morally a bad thing" in the text. • No writing out of canon-compliant various -isms or -phobias. If a world area or time period is e.g. homophobic, I don't want the struggles of characters that have to live with it written away. However, if such things are not present in a given sitution, don't add them in for the sake of it. • A/B/O, genderswap, alien genitalia, m!preg/cis man pregnancy • Maggots, terminal illnesses, feederism and eating disorders, soulmates and hanahaki. • Daddy/mommy kink, de-aging of characters, ageplay and infantilisation, diapers, pet play, feet, enemas and urethral plays, insistence on how large a penis or breasts are, objectification. • Medical play and assorted medical kinks, as well as medical situations utilised to emphasise powerlessness or horror (such as unwilling experiments) unless requested. • Underage and non-con between requested characters (dub-con is fine but only if requested). Rape experiences or trauma are fine as background or in the story as long as they're not detailed or the focus (but never between nominated characters unless requested). Any incest unless requested (cousins okay). • Any variation of the word "come" spelled as "cum". • No X character is secretly a bastard of Y character unless requested (relatedly, no non-canon cheating on a spouse.)
Dragon Age DNW
Secret half-elven parentage for characters for whom it isn't canon. • Half elves having obviously elven traits, the Dalish being (as a uniform group) perfectly accepting of city elves. • Unquestioned or endorsed national stereotypes in the narrative (e.g. Fereldan people are always honest and good, Orlesians are always deceitful). • Stories set in Tevinter where all the "good guys" are foreign and all the "bad guys" are local. • Bashing Anora, fem!Cousland married to/shipped with Alistair, Alistair ruling alone. • The Chantry depicted as unquestionably right. • Focus on Cullen; any ships involving him and a mage, even in the background. • Adoribull mentions. • Switching DA:I advisors with another character (e.g. Morrigan with Merrill) unless requested. • Preference for canon backgrounds for PCs and no canon-breaking PCs (e.g. the Inquisitor becomes Divine) unless requested.
Things I like!
I'm happiest when stories get into some in-depth character exploration. The plot of your story may be minimal, it may be slice of life, small missing moments, I tend to not care as much as long as characterisation and interactions between people offer emotional depth. For smut, the same thing applies: hot action is good, but I like it better when there's something that happens, in an emotional sense, to the characters involved. This doesn't have to be romantic love by any means, I very much enjoy friends with benefits and the like.
I like banters between characters, historical attention to details, politics, clashing point of views, complicated relationships, UST, bittersweet endings where not all things are solved neatly, hope for the future, moral ambiguity, explored dysfunctionality, love shown through subtlety, love that is not confessed, regret, hard-won redemptions and the distrust that comes with it, power dynamics, characters that won't ever relent in their goals and who feel things strongly and are larger than life. I like the consensual but not safe or sane too, and if you feel like playing with darker themes emotional manipulation is great; loyalty and betrayal themes, rivalries, even those that aren't entirely solved, and especially those that take a long journey to come to an understanding. For any less wholesome ships, I am totally fine if they don't live happily ever after.
Please consider these thing as potential prompts and inspiration and don't feel compelled to hit any of these themes with your work.
If you want a very comprehensive list of my smut likes, you can find that here. This entry is very nsfw.
As for Zevran/Fenris/Isabela... well, Zevran and her already know each other, and Isabela has a fwb relationship with Fenris if neither is romanced. When Zevran shows up in DA2, what might happen if he were to stick around long enough for him and Fenris to be properly introduced by her?
As above, but Hawke/Fenris/Isabela is something that makes me particularly curious as a throuple. Isabela and Fenris are fwb, but Hawke gets interested in both of them? I don't have a preference on who first introduces the idea of all three being together. Or maybe it develops naturally, because all three are attracted and/or involved with the others in some manner? Do Isabela and Fenris develop any feelings for each other or do they remain friends who have sex and both love Hawke? Go wild.
The Zevran version of this also seems full of possibility. Is Zevran by chance helping or being helped by Otranto in his quest against the Crows? Is Otranto someone he had sex with one time? Maybe an unromanced Josie goes through with the marriage and then realises Zevran is in the picture... again, a very open prompt, lots of possibilities.
For Blackwall and Josie, I love their little courting game; I know Josephine says it wasn't meant to go anywhere and it's a little courtly romance, but does anything change if Trev or Adaar is romancing either? How does this addition shake things up? Maybe the courtly game moves into more serious territory, with feelings, or maybe it remains a very peculiar chaste involvement, even though the Inquisitor is in a relationship with both/either. I'm also interesting in how this might change post-revelation, or even afterwards, during Trespasser.
While Hawke/Donnic/Aveline, I'm just curious to see how this might go. Maybe Aveline sees Hawke as more than a friend after all, and after some convincing she's down for a V relationship with Donnic. Or maybe Donnic thinks Hawke is also pretty hot and this is a throuple. What if Hawke helps with getting them together but also has to confess, afterwards, that they also like Aveline?
As for the other ships, Wesley/Aveline/Donnic, it'd obviously need to be an AU where Wesley survives. His templar status would make everything very juicy, and welcoming a new partner in the relationship strikes me as a pivotal moment for them. How would that look like? Is Wesley the one that pushes Aveline towards pursuing Donnic since she obviously likes him? Does Wesley too?
Okay, Ambra/Orsino/Thrask is another super rare ship... so is Ambra/Thrask lol, but anyway. Ambra is a woman who works at the Blooming Rose and is the mother to Thrask's mage daughter. What if both Orsion and Thrask survive DA2 (Varric unreliable narrator ayy) and flee or hide with Ambra while Cassandra and Leliana conduct their research? I would really, really prefer Thrask and Orsino not to have a sexual or romantic relationship while in the Circle, but a friendship with potential for more would be great. I also love that Ambra names Thrask as the father despite the fact that he's not rich, against the madam's counsel. There must have been love there too. I'd love to see what can come out of this mix.
With Greagoir/Irving/Wynne, I'd like to see a V with Greagoir in the cusp and Irving and Wynne being very good friends. Greagoir and Wynne is already a lot of canon angst and possibilities, since they're Rhys' parents. Irving and Greagoir... well, the latter clearly trusts Irving a whole lot. Maybe there's more there? I'm very interested in seeing the difficult past of older and more tired people who made and make mistakes and maybe have regrets.
I also don't believe it's possible to have a ship that is fully, entirely, and unquestionably consensual between a mage and a templar within the bounds of a Circle; the power imbalance makes it tricky, makes it complicated, and not in easily identifiable ways. I'm okay with reading that. This may count as dub-con for you, which is fine, and you can count it as "requested". Or the characters may not want to focus on the problem, nor have it acknowledged by POVs because they're used to it or it seems all right to them, maybe they want to concentrate on the happiness etc, which is also fine as long as the narrative knows what it's doing. I only don't wanna read explicit non-con, so whichever end of this spectrum you fall on, pleased keep in mind that DNW. More focus on pregnancy & related drama for Wynne is fine.
And Genitivi/Laudine/Philliam just sounds fun. I read Genitivi Dies in the End and there's potential. Honestly I don't even have prompts other than have fun with it.
The other... look, Clarel/Loghain is one of my favourite rareships ever. How does Gereon feature in that? I don't know but I'm curious. It's just a trio of people making mistakes for love or duty. Maybe, with a surviving Clarel, they all meet at Skyhold where Gereon is researching. Maybe it's an AU where Gereon is sent to the Wardens for some reason? Idk. If you can make it work, you have my permission to go buckwild.

Preferences and state of the world: What I really don't want to read is in my Dragon Age DNW, so you can consider other things free game. I'm purposely not adding notes on any of the PCs, since I find it personally really difficult to fulfill someone else's expectations with OCs and always go with my version of things; so feel 200% entitled to exercise the same freedom. I have a playthrough for almost every possible iteration of the worldstate, chances are that I have at least a game where your canon matches with mine.
OCs and adding characters: I love some OCs and to see the world populated. If you're writing a specific relationship and think it'd be great to throw in other people who would live and act around them, both original and canon, that sounds great to me. You're also free to mix requests if you want, though it's harder to do for poly ships. Usually I just care that the nominated relationship takes centre stage, but the more the merrier. I only ask not to put emphasis on unrequested PC romances, though you're good to mention them as long as my DNWs are respected.
Prompts!
Prompts!
- Alistair/Anora Mac Tir/Cailan Theirin,
- Zevran Arainai/Male Cousland/Anora Mac Tir,
- Alistair/Male Cousland/Anora Mac Tir,
- Female Cousland/Leliana/Anora Mac Tir,
- Female Cousland/Nathaniel Howe/Anora Mac Tir
Woo these are a bunch of Anora ships. For Alistair/Anora/Cailan, I admit I was intrigued by the idea. I don't know how it would work other than in an AU where either Cailan survives or Alistair lives in the palace earlier on, so I'm open to any interpretation/storyline that would make the ship functional. Is it a polygamy situation with Anora marrying both? One is a lover and the other her husband? This one should be a V relationship, Alistair and Cailan shouldn't be interacting sexually or romantically. Exception: if somehow they don't know that they're half-brothers, that can be fine, though it'd still be a fairly traumatic thing to discover, so please tread carefully.
Zevran/Male Cous/Anora, and Leliana/Fem Cous/Anora are more or less the same concept in my head, the PC and their LI end up in a relationship with Anora as well. Only difference Male Cousland can marry Anora and Fem cannot (I don't care to read a marriage with Fem Cousland — Anora refuses it in game cause it's about politics and a child really). Either way I would like to see this develop whichever way you take it, both V and throuple are fine. It's similar for Alistair/Male Cous/Anora, though more possibilities. Is Alistair involved with Male Cousland at all, or just with Anora? Is either of them married to her? I'd be curious to see a throuple here but go wherever your inspiration takes you.
Fem Cous/Nathaniel/Anora could go many directions, I'd love to see the relationship between Nate and Cous develop alongside one with Anora. I think all three could hit it off in interesting and complicated ways. All in all, you have free reins. Even an AU where Nate doesn't become a Warden but somehow marries Anora would be interesting.

- Rowan Guerrin/Loghain Mac Tir/Maric Theirin/Celia Mac Tir (or any nominated permutation),
- Male Cousland/Loghain Mac Tir/Morrigan
So I'm really interested in the interplay between all the characters in the first ship. You can pick any nominated version of it, though I'm particularly curious to see all the interactions. Their relationships are so... intertwined and complicated, it practically calls for messy poly. They never gave us anything explicit about Loghain and Maric but either that's a really strong queerplatonic bond orrr there's some going on bisexuality there. I'm not super interested in Celia being sexually or romantically involved with Maric or Rowan, which makes the geometry of this foursome tricky, but the way they all mingle together or don't is what I'm here for anyway. You can mention Katriel but I don't really care about her much.
For Male Cous/Loghain/Morrigan, I'll say I saw it and was intrigued lmao. I mostly thought of the ritual scene with a romanced Morrigan buuut I dunno, if you have other ideas go for it. Maybe Cous asks for Loghain back to go find Morrigan during Witch Hunt? Maybe they meet again in Inquisition? Go wild.

- Male or Female Hawke/Isabela/Jethann,
- Zevran Arainai/Fenris/Isabela,
- Fenris/Male or Female Hawke/Isabela
As for Zevran/Fenris/Isabela... well, Zevran and her already know each other, and Isabela has a fwb relationship with Fenris if neither is romanced. When Zevran shows up in DA2, what might happen if he were to stick around long enough for him and Fenris to be properly introduced by her?
As above, but Hawke/Fenris/Isabela is something that makes me particularly curious as a throuple. Isabela and Fenris are fwb, but Hawke gets interested in both of them? I don't have a preference on who first introduces the idea of all three being together. Or maybe it develops naturally, because all three are attracted and/or involved with the others in some manner? Do Isabela and Fenris develop any feelings for each other or do they remain friends who have sex and both love Hawke? Go wild.
- Zevran Arainai/Rinna/Taliesen
A solitary ship I'm very interested in. When I read Zevran's background, I immediately thought that these three all had a thing together. After all Zevran was in love with Rinnala, and he does say that Taliesen was a friend and "more". And then WoT confirmed it for me! Despite the tragic ending of this story, I am more than curious to read about their life and jobs together. I'm okay with not representing these relationships as altogether healthy, at the very least when it comes to Taliesen, who def lied about Rinnala... and also makes Zevran revert to a more obviously wicked sort of behaviour, if he accepts Taliesen's offer, which makes me think that the emotional distance he once kept returns to the surface. There's great potential in exploring nuanced and difficult relationships as related to the dealing of death and I'd love to see what you do with it. While I usually ask to keep themes of jealousy out of poly stories, I'm kind of okay with Teliesen showing that; don't feel like you have to include it, but just in case. Only like, no jealousy tantrums.
- Josephine Montilyet/Adorno Ciel Otranto/Female Trevelyan,
- Josephine Montilyet/Adorno Ciel Otranto/Zevran Arainai,
- Blackwall/Josephine Montilyet/Female Trevelyan or Female Adaar
The Zevran version of this also seems full of possibility. Is Zevran by chance helping or being helped by Otranto in his quest against the Crows? Is Otranto someone he had sex with one time? Maybe an unromanced Josie goes through with the marriage and then realises Zevran is in the picture... again, a very open prompt, lots of possibilities.
For Blackwall and Josie, I love their little courting game; I know Josephine says it wasn't meant to go anywhere and it's a little courtly romance, but does anything change if Trev or Adaar is romancing either? How does this addition shake things up? Maybe the courtly game moves into more serious territory, with feelings, or maybe it remains a very peculiar chaste involvement, even though the Inquisitor is in a relationship with both/either. I'm also interesting in how this might change post-revelation, or even afterwards, during Trespasser.
- Female Adaar or Male Trevelyan/The Iron Bull/Vivienne,
- Bastien de Ghislain/Nicoline de Ghislain/Vivienne
I saw this throuple and was really intrigued. Bull and Vivienne have a very cool relationship, and they both read people; I would like to see how throwing in Trev or Adaar would change up the dynamic. Viv could be a domme for Bull, so how does the third person fit into this? Bull after all offers an escape from power and duty by "letting go" with the Inquisitor, and Vivienne embodies the want of power and holding onto ambition. How do these things interact? What kind of dynamics develop? Do Bull and the Inquisitor have a sexual relationship with Vivienne at all, or is it just a psychological kind of exploration of their attraction? Is Vivienne going to be the Divine, and how does that play into it all? Does this develop around the Snowy Wyvern heart quest? How does Adaar deal with Bull's personal quest, and how does Bull see her in turn as a Vashoth? Feel free to explore any of these. Though, please acknowledge that Vivienne loved Bastien.
Speaking, of Bastien/Nicoline/Vivienne interests me a lot. This sounds like it would be a V with Bastien as the cusp, but I'm open to different interpretations. I'm a fan of how the idea of a paramour is so ingrained in Orlesian society that Nicoline doesn't bat an eye at it and has a perfectly friendly and cordial relationship with Vivienne. I would love to see this develop, and see the love between Vivienne and Bastien too.

- Anders/Male or Female Hawke/Karl Thekla,
- Female Hawke/Donnic Hendyr/Aveline Vallen,
- Donnic Hendyr/Aveline Vallen/Wesley Vallen,
- Anders/Female or Male Hawke/Justice,
- Anders/Male Hawke/Justice/Karl Thekla
While Hawke/Donnic/Aveline, I'm just curious to see how this might go. Maybe Aveline sees Hawke as more than a friend after all, and after some convincing she's down for a V relationship with Donnic. Or maybe Donnic thinks Hawke is also pretty hot and this is a throuple. What if Hawke helps with getting them together but also has to confess, afterwards, that they also like Aveline?
As for the other ships, Wesley/Aveline/Donnic, it'd obviously need to be an AU where Wesley survives. His templar status would make everything very juicy, and welcoming a new partner in the relationship strikes me as a pivotal moment for them. How would that look like? Is Wesley the one that pushes Aveline towards pursuing Donnic since she obviously likes him? Does Wesley too?
- Maurevar Carver/Leandra Hawke/Malcolm Hawke,
- Ambra/Orsino/Ser Thrask,
- Greagoir/Irving/Wynne,
- Brother Ferdinand Genitivi/Laudine/Philliam Trevelyan
Okay, Ambra/Orsino/Thrask is another super rare ship... so is Ambra/Thrask lol, but anyway. Ambra is a woman who works at the Blooming Rose and is the mother to Thrask's mage daughter. What if both Orsion and Thrask survive DA2 (Varric unreliable narrator ayy) and flee or hide with Ambra while Cassandra and Leliana conduct their research? I would really, really prefer Thrask and Orsino not to have a sexual or romantic relationship while in the Circle, but a friendship with potential for more would be great. I also love that Ambra names Thrask as the father despite the fact that he's not rich, against the madam's counsel. There must have been love there too. I'd love to see what can come out of this mix.
With Greagoir/Irving/Wynne, I'd like to see a V with Greagoir in the cusp and Irving and Wynne being very good friends. Greagoir and Wynne is already a lot of canon angst and possibilities, since they're Rhys' parents. Irving and Greagoir... well, the latter clearly trusts Irving a whole lot. Maybe there's more there? I'm very interested in seeing the difficult past of older and more tired people who made and make mistakes and maybe have regrets.
I also don't believe it's possible to have a ship that is fully, entirely, and unquestionably consensual between a mage and a templar within the bounds of a Circle; the power imbalance makes it tricky, makes it complicated, and not in easily identifiable ways. I'm okay with reading that. This may count as dub-con for you, which is fine, and you can count it as "requested". Or the characters may not want to focus on the problem, nor have it acknowledged by POVs because they're used to it or it seems all right to them, maybe they want to concentrate on the happiness etc, which is also fine as long as the narrative knows what it's doing. I only don't wanna read explicit non-con, so whichever end of this spectrum you fall on, pleased keep in mind that DNW. More focus on pregnancy & related drama for Wynne is fine.
And Genitivi/Laudine/Philliam just sounds fun. I read Genitivi Dies in the End and there's potential. Honestly I don't even have prompts other than have fun with it.
- Felix Alexius/Carver Hawke/Jean-Marc Stroud
- Gereon Alexius/Clarel De Chanson/Loghain Mac Tir
The other... look, Clarel/Loghain is one of my favourite rareships ever. How does Gereon feature in that? I don't know but I'm curious. It's just a trio of people making mistakes for love or duty. Maybe, with a surviving Clarel, they all meet at Skyhold where Gereon is researching. Maybe it's an AU where Gereon is sent to the Wardens for some reason? Idk. If you can make it work, you have my permission to go buckwild.
- Male Cadash or Trevelyan/Dorian Pavus/Rilienus
- Male Aeducan/Felsi/Oghren
Listen... There's very little on Rilienus, we don't even know what he would have said yes to. Maybe bedding Dorian. Maybe coming south with him. Maybe something else? But there's clearly some longing there on Dorian's part. I would love to see a romanced Dorian with Cadash or Trev in Tevinter, meeting Rilienus a second time. Are there lingering feelings? Or maybe a complete AU, and Rilienus does come south with him, and the relationship develops there. Whatever strikes your fancy.
For Aeducan/Felsi/Oghren, I'd be curious to see where you bring. It'd be interesting to see this during Awakening or after, and have Aeducan interact with Felsi and the child. Named after him, no less! There must be gratitude there, and/or affection. I'd like to see how Aeducan can help Oghren on a road to be a better person, and maybe develop feelings for Felsi as well, while Oghren and Felsi patch up a relationship? Whichever way you take this, please don't make fun of Oghren for his alcoholism/depression and treat both with due respect and appropriate gravity.

- Karolis/Servana de Montfort/Remi Vascal,
- Andraste/Hessarian/Vasilia,
- Ameridan/Kordillus Drakon I/Telana,
- Corram/Jacen Guerrin/Marguerite Guerrin
For Andraste, Hessarian, and Vasilia... look. I'm not saying write a soapy version of history as presented in Isabela's sponsored book "Hessarian's Spear", but I would not be opposed to it. I would also love to read a serious version, though. Likely far less smutty, considering her circumstances, but what if Hessarian and Andraste have a long existential conversation together before she's put to death? What if, in addition to all the political reasons Hessarian would have had to make this move, he actually feels a little more than something for her, during the brief time they can talk? What if he's torn between his wife whom he loves very much and the prophet? Whichever way you take this, I will be super interested in reading it. I'd prefer a V relationship with Hessarian as the cusp.
I'm also always really interested in Ameridan and his relationships. He was friends with Drakon, how did that look like? How was his love with Telana, and what if his strong friendship with Drakon was also romantic, or sexual? A lot of room to explore, so feel free to go wild.
For Corram/Jacen/Marguerite, the codex for their story is the best prompt I could provide. Just spin their story however you want, based on this codex. I would largely prefer a V relationship with Jacen as the cusp for this.I'm also always really interested in Ameridan and his relationships. He was friends with Drakon, how did that look like? How was his love with Telana, and what if his strong friendship with Drakon was also romantic, or sexual? A lot of room to explore, so feel free to go wild.
