43. do they know how the other takes their coffee/tea?
Thank you for the questions! I had so much fun thinking about these. 💚
DOMESTICITY QUESTIONS
22.who answer the phone?
Solas generally only answers calls from people he knows. He assumes that if someone truly needs to reach him, they will call again.
Uisce, however, will answer even an unfamiliar number if it keeps ringing. And, sure enough, it usually turns out to be a sales call, with Solas looking exasperated beside her. 😂
Still, he rather likes watching her firmly turn them down. Uisce is usually so gentle, but then she furrows her brow—though Solas thinks her expression hardly matters when she is on the phone—and says, “No, thank you,” in a slightly irritated voice.
It gives him a glimpse of a rare side of Uisce that he could never bring out himself.
43. do they know how the other takes their coffee/tea?
Of course they do!
Solas can make herbal tea to suit how Uisce is feeling, and Uisce can tell from how Solas is doing whether he needs caffeine, and make him coffee or tea.
In my headcanon, during teatime they enjoy something like dandelion coffee… elfroot coffee, perhaps? ☕️🌿

I'm running around Tumblr to ask some questions I'm curious about from fellow Solavellan lovers. Answer all or one, up to you!
What does your Lavellan understand about Solas that makes forgiveness possible without excusing what he’s done?
Is there something your Lavellan fundamentally misunderstands about Solas, and that Solas fundamentally misunderstands about your Lavellan? What finally allows them to understand each other more clearly and how does that understanding come?
What is the dynamic between your Lavellan and your Rook?
If your Rook comes to know Solas primarily as an adversary, while your Lavellan’s experience is coloured by their love and history together, where do their interpretations of him overlap - and where do they differ?
Thank you for these questions! It was really nice to have the chance to put my thoughts into words again.
1. What does your Lavellan understand about Solas that makes forgiveness possible without excusing what he’s done?
Uisce does not really think about Solas in terms of forgiving him or not forgiving him.
She does not see herself as being in a position to judge Solas. Or perhaps it is more that judging someone in the first place is not something that comes very naturally to her.
She also probably never thinks that she has understood him.
Uisce simply loves Solas, and because she loves him, she wants to understand him.
But she tries not to think that she has understood another person. She will probably always keep asking herself, “Do I really understand Solas?”
There are feelings and thoughts hidden even within herself that she is not always aware of. She thinks that Solas must be the same.
So even if she is able to learn his motives and everything that led him to make the choices he did, she would not think that those things are all there is to him. And what she is able to know can only come through Solas’s own perspective.
That is also why the idea of forgiving him or not forgiving him does not really occur to her.
But that does not mean she refuses to look at what Solas has done. She wants to take that in properly and treat it as something separate.
I know I will probably never understand all of you. That is why I want to keep learning who you are.
The past will not disappear, but I want to make your tomorrow better.
This is what she feels, and what she hopes for.
That is why Uisce wants to remain by Solas’s side.
2. Is there something your Lavellan fundamentally misunderstands about Solas, and that Solas fundamentally misunderstands about your Lavellan? What finally allows them to understand each other more clearly and how does that understanding come?
Maybe they are both loved more than they realize. 😂
Solas loves Uisce more than Uisce realizes, and Uisce loves Solas more than Solas realizes.
It is not that either of them doubts the other’s love. But sometimes, in a completely ordinary moment, they are suddenly surprised by the thought, “This person really loves me this much.”
Solas is caught off guard when he notices Uisce looking at him with so much love during a casual conversation. And when Solas worries about her over something that seems like nothing, I think Uisce is genuinely surprised.
And this is not something that happens only once.
Even after years have passed, they realize it again and again.
I am loved this much.
3. What is the dynamic between your Lavellan and your Rook?
My main Rook is Berita, a Dalish elf from the Lords of Fortune.
As her background suggests, she is a cheerful treasure hunter. She could not find any vallaslin she liked, so she got a Warden tattoo across her face simply because she thought the wings looked cool, and was scolded terribly by the adults for it.
As you can probably tell from that story, she is basically someone who is always ready to get carried away. If there is a wave she can ride, she will absolutely ride it. She will think about what happens if she falls when it happens. She should probably just be careful about how she lands.
Because she is that kind of person, she became a source of relief for Uisce, who was commanding the South while suffering from insomnia. Whenever Uisce relaxed her guard and her thoughts began to sink, Rook often managed to drive those thoughts away.
They are also close in age. I think there is a two- or three-year age difference between them? At least, I am pretty sure that is how I set it up. I have forgotten their birth years.
And Berita’s boyfriend is Emmrich, so there is somehow a point of similarity there too. 😂
At first glance, the two of them may seem like complete opposites, but I think that in more peaceful times, they would probably have become good friends.
4. If your Rook comes to know Solas primarily as an adversary, while your Lavellan’s experience is coloured by their love and history together, where do their interpretations of him overlap - and where do they differ?
Berita: “He’s a pain.”
Uisce: “He can’t be helped.”
I think they would agree on things like: he is stubborn, sensitive, arrogant, and actually has enough power and intelligence to justify being arrogant. He is also interesting enough to get away with being arrogant. He is genuinely kind, but he is still infuriating.
But what happens after that is where they differ.
This overlaps a little with my answer to the first question, but for Berita, that is where it ends.
“I see. Then I’ll punch him.”
But Uisce thinks, “I want to know more. I want to understand him more. Even if I can never understand all of him, I still want to believe in him.”
Solavellan, For the domesticity asks: what kind of stuff can be found around their place?
Thank you for sending this in 🥹
DOMESTICITY QUESTIONS
28.what kind of stuff can be found around their place?
Their home is full of books, painting supplies, and all the little things they have collected over the years.
Solas has shelves of books, along with brushes, palettes, pigments, and the stones, minerals, and dried plants he uses to make his own paint. Among them is an old mortar made of jade or agate, as well as an ancient chart of the stars and a lute—or some other kind of old stringed instrument.
He also keeps everything Uisce gives him: bright feathers, unusual stones, dried flowers, and the scarf she gave him during their time with the Inquisition. There are several sketchbooks filled almost entirely with drawings of Uisce, though Solas would probably insist that they are merely studies.
Uisce, meanwhile, fills the cottage with whatever catches her eye: pretty or unusual stones, feathers, nuts, flowers, and strange plants she finds while wandering through the Fade. She makes potpourri and scented oils, and there are knife sheaths and throwing knives within easy reach around the house.
She also keeps the hair ornament Solas gave her, the large fur wrap he once made for her, and the wolf-jaw necklace he gave her in a dream after Trespasser. She never wore the necklace, but kept it wrapped carefully in cloth at the bottom of her pouch and carried it with her everywhere.
Somewhere beside the bed, there is also a pitcher of water and two clean towels. 😌

I got a DOMESTICITY QUESTIONS ask from @celesenova and answered it, but I accidentally deleted the post 😭 Sorry about that!
I’ll repost my answer.
The questions are from this ask game.
11.Sleeping habits?
Solas is usually the big spoon, with Uisce curled around him like a koala. He sleeps lightly, so whenever she stirs or tries to turn over, he loosens his hold just long enough to let her move—then pulls her close again as soon as she settles.
15. What habits of the other drives them crazy?
Uisce has a habit of tasting unfamiliar plants and mushrooms “just a little” to see what they are like. This has ended with her getting sick more than once, and occasionally getting very, very high. Solas cannot understand why she keeps doing it.
Solas, meanwhile, will start an argument over almost anything. Someone says something slightly inaccurate, and suddenly he is explaining exactly why their entire premise is flawed. Uisce always ends up hovering beside him, worriedly wondering why he cannot speak to everyone as gently as he speaks to her.
26.Who cooks normally?
They usually cook together. Since Uisce only has one arm, Solas often helps hold ingredients steady while she cuts, or takes over the finer chopping himself. Uisce is still the more experienced one with a knife, while Solas handles the seasoning because he has very strong opinions about it. According to Solas, Uisce “is nowhere near particular enough.”
I’ve always wanted to try an ask game, but I’d be far too sad if no one asked me anything 😂 So I’ve decided to answer every question myself 🤣
I’m using the questions from this post.
Everything below is just a very long, completely unverified headcanon ramble. 😌
2.who flirts more?
Solas flirts more. Uisce is simply more obviously in love.
He is the one who makes suggestive remarks and lets the silence linger, leans in close to speak near her ear, or takes her hand when there is no real need to. If she blushes, he will smile to himself and add one more comment just to make it worse. Uisce could never do any of that on purpose without becoming far too embarrassed.
Instead, she ambushes him with affection—suddenly hugging him tightly and telling him she loves him, which is usually far more effective than anything Solas had planned.
4.how did they start living together? do they move? how do they choose the place?
They never really chose a place. In the prison of regret, Solas unconsciously recreated the little cottage in Haven where Uisce first awoke after the Breach. It was only meant to be a temporary shelter, but it slowly became their home. He could have changed anything in an instant—including the narrow single bed—but for an absurdly long time by human standards, he simply didn’t. Uisce lifted the blanket, told him to come lie beside her, and somehow that cramped little bed became part of what made the place feel like home.
5.do they have roommates?
No human roommates, but spirits and wisps come and go freely, and a few practically live with them. The wisps were even allowed to drift around the cottage at night, until they began growing curious about Uisce and Solas’s more private moments. Solas never scolded them; he would simply usher them outside and tell them, very gently, “Not tonight. We would like to spend this evening alone.”
6.do they get married (or equivalent)?
By any formal human or elven standard, Solas and Uisce are not married.
Marriage was never something Uisce thought about very much while she was growing up. Her older brother married while she was still living with the clan, and his wife wore ceremonial clothes that had been passed through the family for generations.
After the wedding, her mother and sister-in-law showed them to her again.
“You’ll wear these next,” they told her, teasing.
Uisce laughed. At the time, it seemed so far away that it hardly felt real. Perhaps she would meet someone eventually. Perhaps she would wear the clothes one day. She was not waiting impatiently for either of those things.
The memory stayed with her because it belonged to a happy day with her family.
Then she met Solas.
She did not immediately think, I want to marry him. What came first was a picture in her mind: herself wearing those clothes, with Solas standing beside her.
Her family would be there. The clan would be watching. Solas would probably look faintly uncomfortable under so much attention, but when he turned toward her, his expression would soften.
She could introduce him to her brother. Later, she might pull her sister-in-law aside and whisper that perhaps she really would wear the clothes after all.
That was how the thought of marriage first became real to her. Solas had simply found his way into a future she had once assumed would happen someday, to someone she had not yet met.
During their time with the Inquisition, she rarely spoke of it. Solas avoided talking about the future, and Uisce had begun to notice that even speaking plainly about what they were to each other made him hesitate.
So the wedding clothes remained a private thought.
As time passed, the future she had imagined became harder to believe in. She knew she could no longer return to her clan once the Inquisition’s work was done. And with Solas’s complicated feelings toward the Dalish, she could no longer picture bringing him home with her.
Little by little, Uisce made the hope smaller.
It did not have to happen with her clan.
She did not have to wear her sister-in-law’s wedding clothes.
No one had to celebrate them.
She only wanted Solas to remain beside her.
Then Solas left, and even that last, smallest version of the future disappeared.
He never knew she had imagined any of it.
With everything that followed, Uisce was hardly going to mourn aloud over the wedding she never had. There was too much at stake, and the grief felt too small and too personal beside it. Still, the thought never vanished completely. Somewhere in her remained the woman who had once wanted to stand beside him in her family’s wedding clothes.
Years later, she follows him into the prison of regret.
There is no law there to name them husband and wife, and no one to record what they have chosen. Her family is not present. Neither is her clan.
Even so, I think that is where their marriage truly begins.
Uisce enters the prison knowing what Solas has done and what he intends to spend the rest of his existence trying to mend. Of her own will, she chooses to carry part of that weight with him: his past, his sins, his atonement, and the long stretch of time that still lies ahead.
He does not ask her to follow.
She chooses to.
Much later, I imagine she finally tells him about her brother’s wedding.
She tells him about the clothes, and how her mother and sister-in-law once promised that she would be the next to wear them.
Then, a little embarrassed, she says,
“After I met you, that was the first time I truly wanted to wear them.”
“Sometimes I imagined myself standing beside you in them.”
Solas says nothing for a while.
Uisce fills the silence by telling him more.
The clothing had changed over generations. Every married couple added a small design of their own to the embroidery. Her brother and his wife had chosen a star and an arrow.
“The more people who wear it,” she tells him, “the more the pattern grows. I always thought that was beautiful.”
After that conversation, they begin trying to recreate it.
Uisce remembers some parts clearly and others only in fragments. The fabric had been heavier than it looked. One border was covered in tiny repeating shapes. A section near the shoulder matched part of her brother’s ceremonial clothing.
Solas listens while she talks and reshapes it as she remembers.
“No, that part was narrower.”
“The stitching went the other way there.”
“I think the green was lighter. More like new leaves.”
Sometimes she changes her mind halfway through. Sometimes two memories contradict each other.
Solas never points this out.
He simply reshapes the cloth again.
What they make cannot be the same garment her family kept. Too much of its history exists only in Uisce’s memory now. Yet by the time they finish, it feels less like a copy than something newly inherited.
There is room in the embroidery for one more symbol.
The ceremony itself is small.
The spirits and wisps who wander freely through their cottage gather around them. Whether they understand the occasion in quite the same way Uisce does is impossible to say, but their gentle lights drift between the trees and across the walls of the little house.
Solas stands beside her in the form she remembers from Skyhold.
Simply Solas.
They prepare no formal vows beforehand. The words come only once they are standing together.
Solas promises to remain beside Uisce for as long as she wants him there.
Uisce promises that if he ever loses himself again, she will find him.
It is enough.
Later, if someone were to ask Solas what Uisce is to him, I do not think he would hesitate.
“She is my wife.”
Uisce might smile and wonder whether what they shared could really be called a wedding.
Solas would never wonder.
Uisce never wore the clothes her mother and sister-in-law had once hoped to pass on to her. Her family never saw her wearing them, and the ceremony took place somewhere her younger self could never have imagined.
But she stood beside Solas.
And together, they chose the symbol that would become their own.
7.do they have kids?
Yes—eventually. The prison of regret is hardly the ideal place to start a family, so it might take a very long time. Perhaps it would never happen at all. But if the Fade allows it, then I think their little cottage filling up with children is only a matter of time. They are very, very much in love—in every sense of the phrase.
8.do they have pets?
Uisce would not really keep animals as pets. Even so, whenever she spots a birdlike creature or something resembling a small animal in the Fade, she cannot help becoming curious. She watches from a little distance, quietly hoping it might take an interest in her.
She never chases or tries to catch them. If one approaches her on its own, she simply holds out her hand and waits very still.
Eventually, a few begin returning to the cottage again and again. Before long, seeing them at the window or in the garden becomes part of her daily life. She does not own them, but they become something like small neighbors who are always free to visit.
9.do they act different in public and at home?
They are affectionate in public, but much less restrained in private. Uisce has a habit of resting her head on Solas’s shoulder whenever she lets her guard down, and Solas will often slip an arm around her waist or kiss her temple without even seeming to realize he is doing it. At home, they are rarely more than an arm’s length apart.
10.big spoon/little spoon?
Solas is usually the big spoon, but Uisce loves holding his head against her chest whenever she gets the chance. She so rarely gets to look down at him that seeing him tucked against her makes her feel absurdly pleased with herself.
This somehow got much longer than I expected, so I’ll continue another time 😂
BIG FAT DOMESTICITY QUESTIONS MEME (ETA: I ADDED SOME MORE)
Do we all agree that thinking about your ship being domestic is hnnnnnng? Ok. And I want to do an askbox meme. But I don’t like all the questions from the two usual domesticity memes. SO I compiled both, reorganized the questions, took away repeats, tweaked some of them, and added more questions that I thought of, and you should feel free to reblog or message me with more questions to add to the list, and then also ask me ships with a question’s number and we can all drown in domestic feelings.

I will always headcanon Cullen as still being in love with Surana well into, and even beyond, the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition, based on the various details we're given in-game.
DAO - it's an open secret around Kinloch Hold that he's in love with Surana.
"Tempting me with the one thing I always wanted, but could never have."
(Of course, Zev, with that interjection, making me snort and shoot the screen a side-eye. Killing the tension, Zev. Let the drama percolate! /laughs.)
I was glad Dess did the side-eye for me.
What really cements it for me, though, is the way he speaks about the Hero of Ferelden years later. His choice of words reminds me of Solas when he's asked about a romanced Lavellan in Veilguard. There's a similar restraint to it; a quiet, deep fondness that says more than an overt declaration ever could.
Cullen: "She was a lovely woman."
Solas: "She is a good woman."
If asked about Surana in DAI:
(The linked video is NOT mine. Thus, I'll have to make sure I pay attention to any possible differences in these lines when I replay Inquisition with a non-romanced Cullen. I am curious about what he says instead of "A feeling I had forsaken until recently.")
Cullen/Surana and Cullen/Mage Lavellan make surprisingly effective mirrors of one another.
Reading Solas’s letter again, it still feels less like a romantic love letter to me and more like an apology-and-excuses letter to the wife he left behind: “Please understand where I’m coming from.” And that’s exactly why I find it so endearing 😂
“I cannot ask your forgiveness, but I hope you come to understand.”
“I could have simply stayed with you as Solas… as I wanted.”
“What I feel for you will never change.”
I think every word is sincere. But it is also a letter from the one acting selfishly, doing as he pleases, asking her to understand his own inner conflict too. Including the way he writes, “Once the world is restored, you’ll understand why all of this was necessary.”
When I first read it, I cried and laughed, thinking, “This man truly hasn’t changed at all in any way—for better or worse!! 🤣😭🥺😠”
He’s kind, he loves deeply, he’s arrogant, and I adore him. I really do.
For a man who can use so many words to explain why the world has to be restored, his own inner turmoil, and his love for Lavellan, he devoted exactly one sentence to apologizing to her 😂
And not even “I regret my choice,” but “I regret the pain I caused you.” It’s just so… Solas…

I think I'll just leave this as an open tag today as I've done a few WIP/tag game posts over the span of a few days (fear of being annoying activated) So feel free to tag me if you want to show off what you're working on.
Trucking along. Two more to go before I start trying to render them.
Trying to convince myself I'm any good and I'll actually be able to finish these in time for the event. 🙃
