Whelp.

Inara is actually based on one of my best friends

(to be clear I'm down for whatever all the time if the vibes are good. I've never written anything like this so idk if I'm doing it right)

Inara:

Inara x Alistair is my "someday my prince will come" ship. SOME DAY I'll write it with someone other than myself. lmfaoooo

Inara x Zevran

I also like Inara x Cullen but it does usually border on unhealthy.

Inara x a Cousland Warden. or Fergus. Don't break her heart she WILL make moves on your brother.

Inara x an Aeducan would be so interesting!!! noble but also dwarf? wild.

Inara x strong and bold women who would make the first move. Canon examples like Leliana, Morrigan, Anora, Josephine.

Inara x Anders

Inara x Hawke. She starts off being antagonistic but someone who can romance her anyway is a hero.

Inara x Krem she would love his hair

Not a fan of Inara x people younger than her esp in a DA2/Inquisition timeline because she's so close to being dead

Not a fan of Inara x Wardens in her charge other than the Original Awakening Gang. They and her are on more equal footing and are her officers. Her and a new recruit feels gross unless they're not under her charge.

Alistair ( @nobroth )

Zevristair is my dream

Also into Alistair x Leliana in certain flavors

Alistair x Wardens who treat him like a person and listen to him talk and don't treat him like an accessory to their own desires

Alistair x a Warden that's a little mean to him but in a way that pushes him to stand up for himself

this one is a little wider he's such a romantic honestly go for it

not a fan of King!Alistair with an elven mistress (esp a City Elf) bc that feels........ ucky

oh I forgot Alistair x Anora in a world where neither of them likes the Warden

Nathaniel ( @howetragic )

Nathaniel x Velanna is my dream.

Sucker for Anders x Nathaniel too

Nathaniel x Cousland Wardens. "Your family and mine destroyed each other"? Hot.

Nathaniel x anyone strong and loud who will put him in his place but also would like being woo'd. Anora, Cassandra

Nathaniel x Josephine would be soooooooooo

Love as a Choice

You choose to love. Love does not come to you easily, but every day you wake up and choose it. It would be so easy, wouldn't it, to grow cold and callous and grim. But you rise to greet the world, making the conscious effort to find something, anything to love.

When you fall for someone, you do not kid yourself of their flaws. Instead, you resolve to see them for who they are, mistakes and all and you love them all the same. Your love is work, and it does not come easy.

Your love sweats and toils. It is calloused and sunburned; it bears scars and comes with stories. Your love is worn, but it is no less valuable for it. Being loved by you is like being loved by a gardener, a mother, a teacher.

Your love may not always be the simplest, but it is worth the effort.
