In another world…

While Solas and Elera Lavellan find themselves at odds with each other in this world, the former Inquisitor swearing that if she cannot save Solas then she must save Thedas no matter the personal cost, there might exist a better one. One where Solas learns the value in modern Thedas, in the world he helped create, and accepts all that it is. And in that world, they are happy.

I was so lucky to snag a commission from @needapotion, and the result is absolutely breathtaking. I can’t stop looking at it – from the detail on Elera’s dress to their expressions. It’s gorgeous and I couldn’t be happier. Lowenael was an absolute joy to work with, and I hope I’m lucky enough to work with them again in the future. Thank you so much!!

The pleasure was definitely shared!

I’m happy that you love it, thank you for commissioning me,!

The weight of a civilization rests on the edge of my blade. 

His voice shakes the very earth, eyes glowing with barely-bridled power, ancient and hoarded, but I can still feel his fingertips tremble as they touch my chin. The last remnant of the man he might have been were he not carrying the weight of a civilization on his shoulders, too. 

Perhaps humanity was just what he wanted me to see. He could have stopped my approach, petrified me in place, turned my weapons to dust and scattered my armies to the winds, eliminating his biggest threat and his only hope for salvation from a distance. Or perhaps he wanted to see how much of my own humanity I had sacrificed fighting for the same cause from the opposite side.

They say history is written by the victors, but there is no victory in this. Whether we will it or not, history will be written: either in his blood or mine. His peoples’ or mine. 

So I take the advice I’m sure he wishes he never gave… 
Harden my heart to a cutting edge… 

And say one last goodbye.

@nipuni​ has blessed me with this stunning depiction of Avira & Solas in my DA:4-era fic, Uprising. It just takes my breath away. Every little detail is perfect: the pose, the composition, the expressions, the atmosphere, the attire…I could cry?! Did cry. Am crying. We’re still a long ways from the final confrontation between these two sad babs, but I was so inspired by this visual that I just had to write a bit of it. Thank you so much dear! You are a gem of a human being and a pleasure to work with. ❤

I was lucky enough to snag one of @nipuni‘s commission slots for the month of July (my birthday month :D), and I asked her to draw Anise Lavellan and Solas sharing a moment together at Clan Lavellan’s end-of-summer festival, a scene in the upcoming chapter of Savior of the Damned ❤ 

Thank you so much Nipuni for bringing Anise to life, this is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!
