Iwyn Lavellan by @sunshinemage

I think I may be a little bit early on this, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY @thevikingwoman!! I wanted to treat us BOTH for our birth month with some sweet OT3 fluff and smut. Sorry it’s so short <3

The masterpost for this shared AU can be found here.

Iwyn is @thevikingwoman‘s OC! And, as always, Iwyn and Ellana are not related despite sharing the last name Lavellan.

Pairing: Solas x Iwyn x Ellana

Rating: Explicit for brief sexual imagery

**********

What Ellana has found that she loves the most about her lovers is their softness.

She does not think that this is what the outside world sees about either Solas or Iwyn right away - they are forceful people, argumentative, passionate, opinionated. Perhaps that is why Ellana treasures their softness all the more. It is something hidden away from the rest of the world.

She loves the softness of them first thing in the morning, especially. Bleary eyed and cozy in their bed, none of them particularly willing to get up. Resetting their alarms and burrowing back into the covers, and sometimes that second time rearranging their limbs and finding comfortable pillows was even better than the way they fell asleep.

She loved the softness of them coming home to the house that was theirs now. Iwyn taking off her shoes and then immediately her bra, putting her hair up if it wasn't already. Solas immediately removing his stiff, formal working clothes and emerging from their bedroom in his sweatpants and his beat up old t-shirt (his favorite was one from his own college days, of a long gone band called Dread Wolf Rising). His colleague, Dorian Pavus, had come over once, seen him like that, and declared him an apostate hobo.

"Well, he's my apostate hobo," Ellana had said, kissing Solas's cheek noisily.

"Ours," Iwyn had corrected from the couch.

Dorian had laughed, a kind sound. It was an open thing now, the three of them, in all their social circles. Welcome and cherished. The subject of sweet and teasing jokes like when's the wedding?

Ellana's heart flutters when they make jokes like that. Because she can imagine marrying this, their shared softness - can imagine celebrating and enshrining the weight of Iwyn's hand in hers when they go for a long walk in the evening. The way Solas sometimes dances with Iwyn in the kitchen if he’s playing music while he cooks. The way he cups her own face and looks down at her like she is precious.

She is precious to them. To both of them. She can imagine marrying that feeling, the one they all share.

For @bearlytolerablethethird, Iwyn Lavellan as per request.

I’m not particularly happy with the likeness, and I see a few mistakes yet to fix, but I have no idea how to go about it for the moment, so I might revisit it sometime later.

Some Lavellans.

Thank you bear!!

37. Who is more likely to avenge their S/O if they were hurt or killed?

HEH. I mean, it's so tempting to say Solas - we've all seen the Trespasser explosion, right? - but I think he'd also be more accepting of losing Iwyn than vice versa. He has already resigned himself to losing her once? He'd just be oh my purpose, my duty and be sad and go on.

but Iwyn - Iwyn doesn't give up, and her control freak tendencies grow when pressed. She'd be furious, she'd be determined, she'd call in favors. I don't know if she'd avenge as much as try to change the world itself to get him back. (This is all under the assumptions she's not the one who had to kill him. Then she'd just - well do it)

39. Do they dance? If so, who's better?

They do, and they are both able to. Iwyn enjoys it more, Solas is better.
