Hi, here be art and rambling

https://archiveofourown.org/works/85976456/chapters/227300746 Hi everyone! We're back with our forty-fourth piece for the Dragon Age Big Bang 2026!

Let's give it up for co-authors breitweisergallery and monsterthalia and artist lola1b; they did incredible work! Go check out their efforts over on Archive of Our Own, and we hope y'all enjoy!

Rating: Explicit Summary: Solas paused only for a mere fraction of a second before continuing, his pace even more hurried. One of Mythal’s temples. Mythal’s dragon. There was a pattern to such targets and he was not fond of what it told him.

“Her temple and her dragon?” “And me,” Solas confirmed, voice low. Felassan glanced at him, eyes wide. “Tasked with keeping me occupied. Her wolf, as they so enjoy to say.”

Horror encapsulated Felassan’s face, his aura pulsing deep breadths of fear, of rage, of uncertainty. “They’re going to kill her.”

A clap of thunder echoed through the Crossroads amidst the crimson-soaked beams of the eclipsed sun.

Feat. Dhavihal Lavellan (she/her), based with permission on a drabble a friend wrote for me here.

Disclaimer that I actually love Morrigan and don't hold her yapping in the Temple of Mythal against her at all and this actually started because I thought it was funny Lavellan can ask who Mythal is, potentially while wearing Mythal's vallaslin. So the question became why would Dhavi do that? and the answer was to be a little shit.

Gordon Parks captured the Jim Crow South with a quiet, devastating clarity—using his camera as both witness and weapon. Through intimate portraits and everyday scenes, he exposed the cruelty of segregation not with sensationalism but with humanity, dignity, and truth. Parks showed Black life in the South as it was lived: tender, resilient, disciplined, and determined, even under oppressive laws. His photographs didn’t just document injustice—they challenged America to see what it preferred to ignore.
