"Hearts of Three" Taliesen, Zevran and Rinnala

In my head, there's another AU backstory with these three assholes. And of course, there's a lot of banter there, you know.

Rinna is an illegitimate child of Prince Estefan

Bioware lore states that children born from the union of humans and elves have exclusively human features. They are called half-elves or elf-blooded, but not elves or humans

Rinna is an elf

Therefore, according to Bioware lore, Prince Estefan had to be an elf as well

Prince Estefan couldn't have come out of nowhere, therefore there is a case to be made in favor of tge existence of an uninterrupted elven line of royalty in Antiva (however long is another thing, but elves as royalty!)

My friend keeps teasing me because all I ever talk about is Dragon age and elves, so I took it a step further and drew my fav side character elves across the games.

I put names in captions just in case someone’s hard to recognize.

i have been having lots of feelings lately

Before his tryst with Isabella and his relationship with Rinna and Taliesen became intimate, Zevran had a family. He had gotten a prostitute pregnant and once he had found out he had jumped into the role of father with gusto. He had been ecstatic. He was making more than enough to support a family at the time. Naturally the Crows didn't approve, and saw his children and the woman disappear when the twins were a scant nine months old in the hopes of knocking Zevran down a peg or two. 

He and Isabella had been friends for a few months at this time and became intimate after the death of his children and previous lover. Zevran even gifted her one of his knives, and taught her the basics of how to use it when he found out about the abuse her husband Luis put her through. They had been a rebound for each other that turned to something more over the next year. When Isabella put the contract out on her husband, Zevran took the Contract and didn't see Isabella again until DA:2  He hadn’t been willing to risk losing her for the sake of love so soon after his last lovers disappearance. Zevran hadn’t known how to put it into words, so he had simply left after the contract was filled. The one person he genuinely grows kind to is Rinnala because she is the most understanding towards him after the loss of his two children, and how it affected his relationship with Isabella, especially when it came to why he hadn’t been able to tell Isabella what he had felt. He genuinely had fallen for the Rivaini woman, but knew if it was something he pursued seriously, The Crows would have taken her life like they had with his last lover.
