Dragon Age | Solavellan | Abevellan | Amerivellan | Mature ❤️

Over the past ten years, Sene Lavellan has tried to move on from Solas. First, with Abelas, an ancient elf with a fierce but gentle soul, and then with Ameridan, one of the wisest men she's ever known. But it's never enough. She finds herself forever yanked under the surface, in dreams. Like a riptide, Solas is always there. And when his ritual fails, and the shit hits the fan, she will do anything to protect him, and to pursue her destiny by his side. Slowly he will come to learn that there is no fate but the love they share. *This is a canon rewrite, beginning in the time period that Solas leaves Skyhold and extending through the canon era of Veilguard.*

Abelas makes Sene paper cranes in the evenings. They fly around the tent, and they get tangled in her hair. They are beautiful, and they make her laugh, and this makes them both happy.

Chapter 33: Promise Me.

Cullen and Ameridan find themselves high and dry back at Skyhold. In Haven, Sene and Solas discuss the future, prompting Solas to make a choice.

"MY AGENTS have seen no sign of Sene," said Leliana, standing tall by the war room door, hands clasped firstly behind her back, chin high. "Abelas is scouting the Crossroads, but he fears we may be too late. I agree. If she does not wish to be found, we both know how that goes, Commander."

"Yes, we do." Cullen sighed, leaning into the war table with his head hanging over the map. "Maker's fucking breath, Sene. Why now."

"Perhaps we should reprioritize. Have you sent word to Ameridan?"

"I have. I am hoping she's there."

"If she was going back to Halamshiral, don't you think she'd have mentioned it in her note?"

"Not necessarily."

The door opened then. Two scouts rushed inside, looking exasperated, both of them Dalish elves. "The Inquisitor is here," said the first, a young woman with very blond hair.

"Which one?" said Cullen, annoyed.

"Inquisitor Ameridan," she said. "He's on his way to the War Room."

Leliana smiled. "This ought to be interesting. I'll let you handle it, Commander, as you are the expert, after all."

"The expert at what?" said Cullen. "Subduing the temperaments of manic Inquisitors? Or simply dealing with unpredictable bullshit on a daily basis?"

"Both," said Leliana. 

"Well, I can't wait."

She slipped out, taking her scouts with her, and not another moment passed before Ameridan practically kicked in the door.

Cullen felt a massive headache coming on.

"What the fuck is going on?" said Ameridan. He leaned over the table, forcing Cullen to look him in the eye. "You lost Sene?"

"I did not lose Sene," said Cullen. "She ran off."

"When?"

"Must have been late last night. There's no sign of her. Except for this note."

Thank you so much!! This prompt spoke to me. This is Sene Lavellan x Abelas, probably some months before the Exalted Council when they were at their happiest. Also maybe worth noting that I don’t picture Abelas much like he appears in game. My face claim for Abelas is pretty much Chris Hemsworth in Thor lol.

A Festive Sort of Place

Sene never brought Abelas back to her clan, but she got close. They camped in Highever once, never made it across the Waking Sea.

“I have never seen this part of Thedas in winter,” he said to her. They were on a cliff on a mountain overlooking the rapturous waters below. The sky was gray and sharp like metal. He had his hair knotted off his face, his eyes soft. 

“Solas used to make it snow,” said Sene. 

Abelas looked at her. She was tall, but he was much taller. Her red hair was wild in the advancing storm. “You have never mentioned him,” he said. “Never till now. Why?”

She held Abelas around his waist and put her head against his heartbeat. He was warm and good. He sometimes told her stories of his homeland which was not Arlathan, but near Arlathan. A big colony of farms on what had now become the Boeric Ocean. They called it the Backwater. He said the sand there was full of magic, and that this was the only way he knew to explain it. It was full of magic, so pure, that it blended right in with the soil. As Mythal had used to say, when she walked its verdant plains: The farms of the Backwater, they were so ferocious. They grow right up to the lip of the sea.

“It’s not about Solas.” Sene shrugged as she looked at the sky, which swirled in anger and reprieve. She loved the winter. She loved its bones. “I just thought it was something to say, because it’s true. He used to make it snow, on the rooftops of Haven, before I was the Inquisitor. Though it was hard for him. He really had to try, which was fun, considering.”

“You were lucky then,” said Abelas. “I’m not sure Solas was really ever much good with weather, despite his power. That was always Mythal’s domain.”

“So he told me,” said Sene. The air was getting crisp and bitter. She closed her eyes, breathed him. He wore a heavy fur coat, and so did she, both cut from the bears of the Dales. “Anyway. What do you think? Of the snow.”

He held out his hand as the snow began to fall, finally, from the freezing sky. He had not seen it snow, really snow, in thousands of years. It did not snow in the Arbor Wilds, where it was always hot, and the colorful birds roosted all year long. The cold felt new. The cold felt different. “It’s lovely,” he said. That’s all he said.

They stood and watched the weather until they could not take it anymore. Then they hiked back down to the city and found a tavern, a festive sort of place full of gregarious miners and the sounds of the bards and the bartenders who fed them mead from giant flasks. 

As they sat together at the bar, talking and laughing and listening to the bards as they sang old fashioned songs, Sene wondered why it had felt okay to talk about Solas for the first time in almost two years.

Perhaps I am simply done with him, she wondered as Abelas smiled in his lazy way and put the hair behind her ear. They drank their mead. Perhaps this is the end.

*TIRTW & can recommend

Hello, anon! I'm so sorry I missed this.

I haven't planned out these fics in-depth, but part of that is because I don't know where Solas is. They're based on a "canon" universe, so in all honesty, I'm sort of waiting for DA4! I don't know exactly what Solas is *doing* at this time; however, the following things are safe to say about his closeness to Sene:

Solas does keep tabs on Sene after DAI. He is extremely jealous of Abelas, even though he knows he has no right to be, and he would bring this up during their confrontation at the end of Trespasser. He would see Sene's relationship with Abelas as fulfilling all the things he has ever wanted for himself and for her: physical and emotional closeness, and an escape from the expectations of power and back to the freedoms of the natural world. After Sene breaks up with Abelas, I picture Solas approaching Abelas, as a friend, but Abelas wanting nothing to do with him. This harms Solas deeply, as in my universe, they were very close friends when they lived with Mythal.

Solas is taken by surprised when Ameridan returns. He is not sure how it worked, and he could not predict it or explain it. This threatens him a little bit, but more than anything, he is intrigued. Ameridan working with Sene causes him to question a great deal, as he is convinced that Ameridan must have a very strong, ancient magic to be able to resurrect the way that he did. Solas thinks of him as a kind of modern day evanuris and he's not sure how to deal with that. Of course, Ameridan has no ambitions beyond fulfilling his personal needs and desires. He has no want to influence the world, but I think that this would change when he learns who Solas is. He might have stories about Fen'Harel from Telana, who was a Dreamer, and might have met Solas in the Fade. Ameridan might meet Solas's mother at some point and admire her deeply. He and Sene would want to be separate from the struggles and strains of war, but inevitably, they would get sucked in.

Ameridan has major hang-ups about self-sacrifice as it ofc cost him so much. He would not want Sene to ruin her life or her youth simply trying to stop Solas. He would try to convince her to leave the problem for someone else to solve. Maybe he's wrong or right, but ultimately he just wants her NOT to blame herself so much when it comes to Solas and his plans. Sene has never been power-hungry or ambitious. Being with Ameridan allows her a quiet life, and even to move back to her farm, which Ameridan, who is basically "old order" Dalish, would love a great deal (and ofc Sene's clan would love him).
