#natelissa

I deleted the evidence (or the first ask lol) so no worries! Here is some Nate and Elissa for you!

Who made the first move; Elissa. She’s not the most patient person. She went right up to Nathaniel and told him that she wanted to kiss him. And then she did.

Who said ‘I love you’ first; Nathaniel. He’s more in touch with his emotional side and  realized that he loved her before she realized she loved him.

How often they fight; Elissa likes to think that when they argue (or at the very least when she starts yelling at him) that she’s got the upper hand but the end of the fight, Nate just laughs, kisses her forehead and walks away. It usually leaves her in a worse mood than before.

Whose big spoon/little spoon; Elissa is the big spoon. She almost as tall as Nathaniel is and is far more muscular so she holds onto him for the most part lol

What their nicknames are for each other; Nate calls her “Liss” and Elissa calls him “Nate”… They don’t use cute nicknames or anything.

Whose the better cook; Elissa had a lot of cooking practice when living at Highever. Nan made her learn, figuring her future as an arlessa would require it. Little did either know that she would really end up an arlessa.

Their song; “Beautiful With You” by Halestorm

Who remembers their anniversaries; Nathaniel. He surprises Elissa with things on their wedding anniversary. She pretends to hate it but she really loves it.

Their favorite thing to do together (besides sex); Sparring. Oh man, do they love sparring. :3

Who ‘wears the pants’ in the relationship; Elissa likes to think she does, but it’s equal.

How they would get engaged; They’ve been engaged since they were teenagers. It was technically an arranged marriage to further their families’ friendship, but in reality, they are the ones who plotted it to happen.

What their wedding would be like; Huge with Elissa’s family (or what is left of it) and the royal court of Ferelden and the entire group that they traveled with during the Fifth Blight and the wardens and the nobility… you get the idea.

Elissa and Nate are so impossible sometimes. Ok:

Who’s more likely to be patching the others wound? 

Elissa fights aggressively. As an archer, he stands back and fights from a distance but Elissa, with her sword and shield, likes to bash her enemies to the ground. She’s more likely to get hurt in battle and he always ends up having to tend to them. 

Who likes to slow dance?

Ok, anon, here it goes. You asked for it.

I have put a lot of thought in Natelissa and their future. Specifically whether they life happily ever after or if, after everything the two of them go through, they end up bitter and angry. Originally, my idea was that the two of them would live their lives as wardens, in love and married, but with the taint, the two of them probably would end up childless and going to their Calling together.

However, since then, I’ve rethought who my canon warden is (I’m going to let it be Leila Tabris) and decided that Elissa would go become Teyrna of Highever after the Fifth Blight. Nathaniel will have redeemed himself (somehow) and marries Elissa. As far as children go, the two of them would have a rambunctious little girl named Moira. :)

Anora and Fergus was something that happened to me one day. I was thinking about how much Elissa looked up to and adored the Mac Tir family, especially Anora. The two would have been dear friends and done everything together as children. Fergus would have seen A LOT of Miss Anora Mac Tir growing up.

Fergus was married with a child before the Fifth Blight. After their deaths, he mourned his family as Teyrn of Highever. Anora ruled alone for a time, but then the nobles pushed for Anora to marry, have a child and heir so feeling the pressure, she began to look at the usual places, high ranking nobility.

The biggest contender for the throne at the time was Teagan, who wasn’t Arl of Redcliffe yet. Anora didn’t particularly like him, but knew he was probably her best choice. Until Elissa decided that her best friend and her brother were perfect for each other. I’m not sure when they fell in love but they have a mutual respect for each other and that blossomed into a lasting friendship. Love came later, as it sometimes does for arranged marriages.
