#aura lavellan

Just saw this post on tiktok and it reinforced my Solas as demi…headcanon? I’ve always felt he was sort of coded that way, but maybe there is a bit of personal bias there for me. But the fact that his love for Lavellan can be as intense as it is without sex is probably one of the reasons I love this romance so damn much. Like however charged the onscreen kisses are, they are all prefaced by a sense of intimacy that’s not necessarily physical. Of course there is physical interest, but it’s secondary to just getting to “be” with her. And after that first Fade kiss, the way he says “I would enjoy talking.” It wrecks me every time. It was always two people enjoying each other’s spirits, finding comfort and safety in expressing who they truly are. I will never be over the gentle aspect of their love.
