Divine Rites - Ashur x Rook Prequel (Pt. I, Pt. II, Pt. III, Pt. IV, Pt. V) Modern AU - Cyri x Davrin (💖) Star Wars AU - Cyri x Davrin (Pt. I, Pt. II) I will do prompts but they tend to take me a while, so patience is appreciated <3

Hmmm i think this is tough because i don’t know that THEY think they compromised. Cyri thinks Davrin compromised by moving to Minrathous for her, and then later, maybe he thinks she compromises by moving away. And then some part Cyri thinks Davrin compromises by not having kids.

23. What is a hobby/habit that one of them is into but the other can't get behind, and vice versa?

So in my mind, after veilguard everyone tries sitcom style to teach Cyri their various hobbies so she has something to do with her new amount of spare time. She hates all of them, including carving. She does not have the patience for it. She cuts her finger and she’s really mad about it and throws her shitty wooden figure into the fire. For Davrin i think Cyri’s habit that he just sort of puts up with is her knife juggling. Like on the one hand, yeah sure babe that’s so cool. On the other hand, all of the fruit in the bowl had been speared and Assan is way too interested in the knives when they’re in the air. He’s gritting his teeth through it every time.

31. What's their cursed couple Halloween costume?

I did already answer HERE though the short recap is ragebait (: i really like to imagine that after all that, she’s like “(: but i have tentacles” and then Davrin just explodes.

4. What acts do the couple do for the other that they absolutely adore? (ex: A knows B hates peeling oranges so A does it)

Okay so i said recently that in a modern au scenario, Lyria drives when there’s traffic because Cullen gets really huffy and road-rage-y during traffic if he’s driving. And i think there’s a lot of stuff like that where she’ll notice something is causing him stress and she’ll step in without really acknowledging why. Like, occasionally going over supply manifests or whatever reports make him grumble the most. She’s kind of the queen of anticipating needs. I think in response, Cullen just waits on her hand and foot when given the opportunity. He’s learning specifically how she takes her tea so he can bring it to her at all hours. He’s rubbing her feet, he’s drawing her baths. And then they’re both really good at getting the other one to rest, which is something they’re individually pretty bad at, lol. They’re both a little hypocritical on that front, but that’s kind of why it works when the other one is like “okay that’s enough for you.”

7. How did they act with one another during the crushing stage?

Okay so this is pretty similar to 8, so with the context that they were both strongly in denial and trying to be normal: they were both incredibly awkward around each other. Like, in an effort to remain professional they were definitely speaking to each other in a way that made literally everybody around be like “??? wth is happening, why are you guys being so weird??” But i also think there’s a general consensus that “they’ll figure it out.”

11. What do you love about them?

So so much!! I think all my ships center around the idea of being seen, and like, wordless understanding?
