HI LURKER!!!!!!!!!! [tackle hug]

24. What is something they have each had to forgive the other for?

Honestly, Kaidan had to forgive Sam for dying. If you’ve read Fugue, you’ve gotten a firsthand look at Kaidan’s grief. It was deep, dark and it changes him in some pretty profound ways. Horizon and Cerberus aside, it was really difficult for Kaidan to resume a relationship with someone he grieved so deeply for so long, and there was a lot of anger he had to resolve when Sam came back.

Sam had to forgive Kaidan for doubting him. When Kaidan walks away on Horizon it sends Sam into a very ugly downward spiral that was a perfect storm of personal identity crisis, body autonomy issues, facing his own mortality, etc. Kaidan’s always been the one who pulls him back from the edge; this time he lit a match and threw it on gasoline. It wasn’t Kaidan’s fault. It wasn’t anyone’s fault. It was what it was. But Sam had to get past it and forgive him.

A birthday headcanon!

Sanna’s a good, organized Jedi and her file is impeccable minus the redacted time when she was ... off the grid being posessed on a mission. Thus, Theron’s known her birthday since he got a hold of her file before the attacks on Korriban and Tython. He’s the one who’s been cagey about his birthdate.

I headcanon that Vette sets up a monthly birthday celebration for everyone whose birthday is that month (you’ve gotta keep people’s morale up somehow!). After one of them, Sanna gets curious, asks Theron when his birthday is, and of course he plays it off (but doesn’t actually tell her the date). After a few times asking, she goes to Lana, who in turn contacts “friends” coughJonasBalkarcough in SIS. This friend does some digging and returns with the prize!

For Xucie and Theron

3: Who walks around the house half-naked and who yells at them to put on some clothes? Theron yells at Xucie to put clothes on because she also needs to wash her clothes and he doesnt want another lecture from Lana about it because usually they cant contain themselves and they get caught doing something unprofessional somewhere they should because they are just horny

12. Is there a wedding? What was the proposal like? Any kind of honeymoon?

Absolutely! I’m not following the game’s timelinefor when it happens, since Lana and Theron’s proposals happen at the same time in-game, and it’d just be weird if both Lana and Neyna and Zeth and Theron happened to propose at the exact same time. Plus, Neyna and Lana were together during the five-year gap at the start of Kotfe while Zeth was stuck in carbonite, so it makes sense for them to get married a little earlier.

So I’m thinking Neyna proposed after the events of Kotet; they’d probably been planning to do so for years, but were waiting until it looked like they might actually have a future. I think the conversation would be the same as the canonical proposal.

As for their honeymoon… I’m not sure where they’d go, but I think they’d take a few weeks on some neutral planet where they can go to a lot of theatres and art galleries, like the Distinguished Bis they are :D

24. Any doubts about the relationship?

A few, early on - after events on Rishi, Neyna’s a little worried that Lana’s pragmatism might mean she’d be willing to sacrifice them if it served her end goal. They understand why Lana might do so, but still… they’ve been rejected by too many people to go through that again. After Ziost, though, those doubts mostly vanish, as it becomes increasingly more obvious just how deeply Lana cares for them.

Aside from that, the biggest worry is Neyna’s fear that they’ll eventually be torn apart by the endless galactic chaos. If they let themselves feel as deeply and fiercely as they want to, and then they lose Lana… they’re not sure they could survive it. Hence them waiting until after Kotet to propose - it’s a lot easier to get the words out, once their relationship no longer feels like a collection of stolen moments. Once they might actually have the rest of their lives.

Bookshop AU + “aroused by her voice”

“Bela, listen to this.”

Fenris head whipped up from the newspaper he’d been scowling at. That voice... it was her.

“He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close, so she could feel his... ahahahahAHAHAHA GLORIOUS ELVENHOOD against her hip”, the dangerous woman belonging to that dangerous voice howled from somewhere in the Romantic Literature section. “Varric really has outdone himself with this one!”

Ah, they were reading the new Tethras. Fenris had had to compile copys of the book into a pyramid a couple of days ago and at the moment he hated nothing more than the terrible cover of a scantily clad woman clutching an even more scantily clad man-elf-person.

The woman... Hawke... it was probably time to admit to himself that he knew her name and that she worked at the record store around the corner and that she was pleasing aesthetically speaking and also an auditory delight and fine, he was pretty sure she didn’t need to show up at his bookshop every other day to “look something up”, just like he didn’t need to go over there to listen to the new releases and... where was he going with this. Ah. Yes.

“Hey Fenris!”

He nodded, giving Hawke a short smile as she leaned against the counter and handed him the Tethras romance.

“I’ll take this one. ‘Love me, baby, one more time‘? Amazing title! It’s gotta be a great read, don’t you think?”

He nodded again, scanning the barcode and handing the book back, pointing to the price on the monitor.

“Mhm, so quiet again today, what a pity.” Hawke winked and Fenris wished she’d stop talking too, because it was difficult to not stare at her lips and hearing her say ‘grabbed her by the waist’ playing in his head over and over.

He took her money, returned her change and then slapped himself mentally to stop staring and actually fucking say something.

“Want to go out tonight?” Ah, shit.

”Wh...” Hawke spluttered and dropped a couple of coins on the counter. He busied himself with collecting them stoically, refusing to look at her while he ran through several escape routes in his head. “Sure! Uhm, yeah! Sounds good! See you later then, Fenris.”

He looked up then, taken aback, just in time to catch her winking at him as she dragged her madly cackling friend out of the store.

Well.
