Welcome back to the 2025 edition of Dragon Age Smutquisition. The exchange is still being run by Jarak and a team of lovely mods who remind me to post things (and give me excellent titles). As I said last year, we’re all doomed, but that turned out to be a false alarm, so we might make it through this year too.

If you’ve not gathered what this is:

Nobody Expects the Dragon Age Smutquisition is a fanwork gift exchange that showcases works rated Explicit in the DA Fandom. Any pairings or groups are eligible as long as they contain at least one DA Character from any DA Media. All works must be rated Explicit and tagged appropriately. The minimum is 1000 words or art equivalent (further details on requirements will be available on AO3)

2024 Important Dates:

Noms: Jan 1st - Jan 22th

Signups: Jan 15th - Jan 29th

Assignments sometime 30/31st

Due date: 10th March

Anon Reveals: 17th March

Creator reveals: 24th March

With regards to Veilguard:

Yes, we will be accepting Veilguard nominations and requests. However Firstly: given it's still quite soon after the game, to save me from going crazy during matching you will be asked to sign up with at least 1 request from a previous game. Secondly: I'll be posting some clever little bit of code you will be asked to use to hide all the veilguard prompts in requests so that people who wish to stay spoiler free still can browse safely. (Yes, some of us are sadly still not in possession of the game)

The final piece from the Dragon Age Smutquisition Exchange 2022 that I am sharing with all of you: the smutty art my husband drew for @potatowitch for his @dasmutquisition assignment! 🍵  

Here is a safe-for-Tumblr version of his Anders/Tentacles piece, “Self-saucing soup”, in which Anders eagerly sings for his supper as an accidentally-added ingredient causes his soup to thicken a little too much... before coming alive, and deciding that it needs more “cream”. 

@dasmutquisition reveals happened today so I can finally formally share what I wrote this year!

All Aboard for @schoute

As Piper boards a ship to the Free Marches for a new adventure, Cullen wishes he could be a part of that adventure. However, he has a way of saying goodbye that may offer something a little more than a brief respite before parting.

Lady of the Skies for @ashalle-art (Cullen x Female Shepard)

Towards the stars in his loft, Cullen spends the night with a woman from another time and place, who found her way from the stars to Thedas, and to him.

From Merrill, with Love for @hollyand-writes (Carver x Merrill) 

This is a treat I wrote for @dasmutquisition​ exchange for @greyduckgreygoose​. The prompt spoke to me so much, I wrote it super fast. Slave scenarios are just my thing. But don’t worry, it has a good ending.

Chapters: 4/4 Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Anders/Fenris/Male Hawke (Dragon Age) Additional Tags: Slavery, Sexual Slavery, Fenris is given as a slave, Anders and Hawke will free him, Fuck Or Die, dub-con for that

Summary:

Featuring Blackwall and Female Lavellan!

We are a go!

You have until the 29th of Jan 10am GMT. Nominations are remaining open for the next week in case of latecomers. If you are nomming Rooks please do so in the format of Male Elf Rook, Female Dwarf Rook, Nonbinary Qunari Rook, etc. (If you don't I will just put them all through as Dwarf requests) And here's some handy code for use in your description box. You can use it to hide Veilguard prompts. Just take the spaces out of the html.

Final timeline, link to the tagset, and all rules in the link below. Looking forward to seeing what new nominations we get.

Welcome back. Yes it's rather late in the year. Yes the exchange has been absconded with by Jarak who's running it this year. Or next year as it's a January start. Yes, I know, we're all doomed. No, I will not be taking any criticism of my technological abilities (or lack thereof which is why there's no pretty images in this).
