solrook meet cute at the same psychiatrist. they touch hands reaching for the sign in sheet. lock eyes across the room over the really bad magazines they’re only reading to ignore the existence of the other. instead of exchanging vows they exchange the paperwork to their diagnosis.

they could never make me hate you solas dragonage, breaker of chains, pride of the people, ass grabber

remember when solas caressed rook's hand after giving them the lyrium dagger and their fingers softly tangling over each other and birthing a disgusting amount of chemistry, vulnerability, and uncertain trust (& secret betrayal)? and remember when solas begged rook not to fight him because he did not want to hurt them the way he's hurt so many others? remember all of the atrocities he's committed and the allies and friends he's killed, with some literally being murdered in mid-sentence, but with rook he pleads with them to just stop before my hands are soaked in your blood too because after everything, solas does not want to kill this person?

I mean with the kind of people Solas surrounded himself with/was canonically attached to (i.e. regardless of player's involvement, so Mythal and Felassan) him attaching to Rook is genuinely not something you need to jump through hoops to consider.

solas stans who go “i hate him and i love him i love to hate him grr stupid egg etcetera etcetera” stronger than me cause im too far gone he has never done anything wrong ever sorry. killed varric? love you so much king but you wrestled a guy for a knife while your tits were out. oh he betrayed rook? good
