Black Emporium Letter

[asymptotically]

Link to AO3: asymptotical

Thank you for writing for me! <3 I've got a lot in here, but I am honestly one of those people who is completely happy with everything from fluffy curtainfic to smut so please don't worry too much about sticking exactly to the prompts if you've got another idea!

The requests are in no particular order (except sort of grouped by who's in the pairing) and everything I asked for is something I want just as much as everything else!

(I left two spots open so I can decide if I want to add a few things in tomorrow, so if there's a request that doesn't have a spot here it probably means I added it last minute and will get it up here asap after work on monday)

Default names for the player characters requested here:
Alim Surana
Garrett Hawke
Herah Adaar
Mahanon Lavellan
Maxwell Trevelyan

Varric/MHawke

• I am just all about all the loyalty and friendship and trust and history that's tied up with these two.
• Varric having revelations about their relationship after Hawke almost dies at any of the points in canon when that can happen.
• Hawke being bad at relationships in general but trying really really hard.
• The time they're apart in Inquisition forcing both of them to really confront their feelings.
• Hawke helping Varric with Viscounty things.
• Hawke attempting to help Varric with Viscounty things while Aveline or Bran ends up actually helping.
• Everyone else thinking they're already in a relationship.
• Hawke being very upbeat around everyone else, and then letting the act go once he and Varric are alone.
• The two of them bantering back and forth while one of them is seriously injured.
• Mage!Hawke hiding an injury from everyone else but asking Varric to help him out with healing i

MHawke/MLavellan

• Hawke making it a mission to fluster Lavellan.
• Taking Lavellan back to Kirkwall after Trespasser.
• Lavellan avoiding Hawke because he hasn't read (or can't read) the book.
• Both of them feeling like the other is out of their league.
• Varric trying to subtly matchmake. Or not so subtly.
• Cole trying to matchmake.
• AU where Lavellan somehow ends up in Kirkwall during DA2.
• AU where Lavellan isn't the Inquisitor but ends up wrapped up in that whole mess anyways.

MHawke/Dorian

• (These are mostly Purple Hawke prompts because that was in my head but if you've got fun Blue or Red ideas please go for it!)
• They've got such very different communication styles and ways of dealing with people that it could lead to all sorts of wonderful arguments and misunderstandings.
• The two of them having to go on a mission together and just being ridiculous, especially if it ends up in arguments that are half flirting without either of them being fully sure it's flirting until it really kicks off.
• Things going badly on a mission and either the ensuing H/C or the change in tone as they have to get serious.
• Alternatively, Hawke just being super ridiculously flirty from the getgo.
• Explicitly casual sex that they are both definitely on board with being totally casual (that's a lie, they're emotional disasters). Maybe they don't even manage to keep up the casual even through the entire encounter. Maybe they do and then they're both so distracted by being Casual the next time they go out on a mission that one of them gets hurt and things get emotional.

Iron Bull/MTrevelyan

• Mage!Trevelyan trying to figure out how the open world even works and how Bull fits in.
• Non-Mage!Trevelyan dealing with family shenanigans.
• Bull playing the bodyguard part during a mission that involves meeting with people.
• Training after the arm loss to adjust how Trevelyan is going to fight now, with and/or without a prosthetic.
• The Chargers trying to matchmake or other shenanigans.
• The Chargers being very bad at keeping quiet about it once Bull and Trevelyan start sleeping with each other.
• Bull trying to keep his distance emotionally while he's still with the Qunari.
• Trevelyan having issues figuring out if Bull is into him or not during the early game, or with the explicitly casual nature of their relationship after they first start sleeping together.

Solas/MTrevelyan

• I usually ship Solas with some level of antagonism, but a Trevelyan who is just all about asking stuff and winning Solas over despite everything could be super cute and kinda tragic.
• All the issues Solas could be having with accidentally falling for someone in this situation, especially accidentally falling for a human.
• Cultural dissonance, especially if Solas is avoiding explaining exactly what is weirding him out.
• Solas pining because he "can't" start a relationship (whether he's admitting that's what he's feeling or not).
• Emotions coming out into the open during that last scene in Trespasser.
• Solas showing up to help with something post-Trespasser and trying not to get spotted.
• Solas secretly sending information about something Dagna can use to make Trevelyan a prosthetic.

Cassandra/Female Adaar

• The two of them being really bad at emotions.
• Alternatively, they might not know how to deal with things from personal experience but Cassandra has Read Books About This and she's gonna awkwardly try to use them as a guideline.
• Also Alternatively, Adaar being really flirty and charmed by Cassandra from the getgo.
• Or really ANY combination of those
• Arguments about how recovered is recovered enough to go out and start hitting/shooting things again after one of them is injured.
• Teaching each other techniques and traditions for fighting and camping and fixing things.
• Early on, Mage!Adaar being kind of freaked out after hearing about what Cass can do to a mage who recently drank lyrium, so either forgoing lyrium to her detriment or overdoing it to prove that she's Not Scared.

Cassandra/Josephine

• Courting and silliness and cuteness.
• Working with each other for some reason pre-Inquisition.
• Josephine courting Cassandra all romantically and properlike.
• Flirting over the War Table.
• Accidentally flirting over the War Table.
• Cassandra getting super protective when the attempted assassinations are going on.
• Getting all fancy and dressed up and dancing somewhere, maybe at the Winter Palace, maybe something post- or pre-Inquisition.

DNWs

• Humiliation.
• Planned public declarations of love (outbursts are fine).
• Cheating or suspicion of cheating that isn't immediately shot down.
• Non-canon permanent major character death.
• Custom Names for Player Characters if default ones exist. (It's fine to have their personalities different! It's just the names that throw me out of the story)
• Noncon, fear of Noncon, or focus on past Noncon.
• The Inquisitor choosing who stays in the fade or major focus on that.
• The Inquisitor, Hawke, or the Warden being anti-mage.
• The Chargers dying.
