IF MY HEART WAS STILL MINE After Corypheus' defeat and Solas' sudden departure, Lethe Lavellan is left broken, bruised and slowly being consumed by the anchor - a corruption feeding on her very spirit. Desperate to save her and with nowhere else to turn, Dorian looks to Nevarra for help. Calling on his former teacher, and Fade Expert, Emmrich Volkarin. In the candlelit, shadowed halls of Skyhold, haunted murals begin to stir and Emmrich must discover a way to stave off the anchor's endless hunger. Can he save her before she is devoured completely - and survive falling in love along the way?

I can finally yap about this now! I participated in the @dragonagebigbang for 2026, and was paired with the amazingly talented and skilled @michichi69. Please go look at the full art (it is in chapter 2!)

You ever wanted to read something like Penny Dreadful in a Victorian Skyhold? I got you.

This was a blast to work on and I'm so lucky to have gotten the opportunity. The fic is so well written and fun and I hope I did it justice!

One of the projects I have been working in during this month has been a collaboration with the amazing @ladyamesindy / @theoriginalladya to bring to life a scene of her beautiful story for the @dragonagebigbang challenge.

Today is the day in which her story is going to be revealed (so please rush and read it, it is so touching!) and I am allowed to show here the art I did for it.

It's been a pleasure, both for having the chance to draw my beloved Morrigan and her family, and for working with lady, who is such a charming person to work with!

Here's the art I did for the wonderful fic Strange Configuration by @justjasper

**Rating:** Explicit

**Summary:**

While exploring a ruin, a strange ancient artifact explodes, and Dorian and the Iron Bull wake up to find themselves in each other's bodies. They'll have to navigate a very literal walk in someone else's shoes, as they discover new things and recontextualise their understanding of each other along the way. Also, naturally, they make it a sex thing.

Under Your Crimson Brush

Solas has been stuck as a painting since he created the Veil over three thousand years ago. Rook de Riva enjoys liberating objects from their current whereabouts (definitely not pretty paintings that catch his eye on his way to assassinate a target). Can one assist the other without unleashing something irreversible?

A snippet of Rook and Solas' dynamic

Returning to the room as swiftly as possible, he walked inside with the dish in hand and a mabari-shaped, carved bone hairpin tucked snugly in his back pocket. With a delighted smile, he stopped in front of Solas.

“That was not soon.”

Rook shrugged, as if he would prepare this dish without taking the time to make it perfect. “It is very sad you cannot enjoy the taste nor the scent of these succulent, roasted tomatoes. Not to mention my mouthwatering tortelloni cacio e pepe,” Rook said before he held the dish out in front of the canvas, manually wafting the scent towards it. “Perfetto. Hmm. Yes, very sad for you,” he smirked and settled down to eat slowly, even turned the frame to the side so Solas could see every single mouthful.

“Fen'Harel ma halam.”

Rook tilted his head at the melodic words. The sweetest of tones, but something rude, judging by the harsh glare that accompanied it. He ate a large bite of his stuffed pasta before he responded. “Adorable.”

Reveal Day!

For @dragonagebigbang I had the pleasure to illustrate my first AU piece for @ladyofcrowsandcoffee fic Finding Their Edge, featuring her baddie Rook Carphria de Riva and Teia Cantori (and many more Crows). So please go and have a read if you're into the Antivan Crows or figure skating or both (or none 😋)
