No problem!

Most people believe the ASiP suicides are John mirrors, representing possible vices that can be expressed when you feel forced to repress who you really are, foreshadowing John’s decline up to S5.

Jimmy: Is terrified of people knowing he’s LGBT, likely feels even more pressure because of his profile within the communityJeffery: Cheating on his wifeJennifer Wilson: Unhappily married and a serial adulterer, grief over her stillborn child R.W.Elizabeth/Beth: An alcoholic, implied tendency towards drink driving

Hello! Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like my gifs :)And, well,  I can’t tag the symbol “+” because it doesn’t read it, so I use the word “plus” instead, and “sg” stand for Sherlock Gifs. 

Friend, I have done my best for you. Here are some fics that are more or less set in canon verses (I’ve included paragradesluster’s this fragile heart because I love it, and my own a better resurrection because it’s more or less canon compliant except there are soulmates.)

Logolepsy- vehlr, weatheredlaw. 

Epistolatory fic set in canon. Varric and Cassandra send each other letters, after Adamant. It’s going to rip your feelings out through your nose and stomp on them, but it’s worth it and adorable as all heck. Also good friends of mine and prolific as hell. Check out their other works!

Dreaming Red- LizzledPink

After In Hushed Whispers, Cassandra is plagued by dreams of a reality that isn’t. Also brings Here Lies the Abyss into play. Long, slow burn, Cassandra-centric. Freaking good.

Rest in the Warmest Places- Glitteringworlds

Post-Canon. Cassandra rebuilds the Seeker order while trying to discover who wants them to stay dead, and sorting out her feelings for Viscount Tethras. Conspiracies and awkward letters, what more do you want?

None So Blind- enigmaticagentscully

ALICE IS SO TALENTED! Josephine puts some plans into action, entertaining a pet project. Mischief, misunderstandings, hopeless pining, and a happy ending. Check out some of her other stuff, and her artwork!

names for what binds us- klickitats

Set during In Hushed Whispers. Varric and Cassandra are trapped in the dungeons of Redcliffe Castle, waiting. For what? Body horror, angst, love. Brace yourself for feelings.

I’m Not Calling You a Ghost- enigmaticagentscully

Varric dies, and it’s not the end. Surprise. Unfinished, but go read it because Alice can wrench your heart out and make you laugh with such ease it’s unbelievable. 

maybe we could try talking in indoor voices- spocklee

“I suppose you could always accuse him of being accessory to treason, interrogate him, threaten him, and then in a few years maybe you’ll both end up stuck together in a government task force.” LOOK THAT IS HILARIOUS OKAY.

Heartbreaker- lavellanpls

Cassandra saves Varric’s life. With her mouth. Yeah. Not finished yet, but SO GOOD. Read it. 

Her Love of the Written Word- spirrum

Cassandra and Varric try to make their unconventional relationship work. Slow burn, freakin’ cute as heck. You will hate these nerds and their stupid love.

this fragile heart- paragradesluster

A soulmate AU that changed my mind about soulmate AUs. It’s everything you want in a fic, ongoing, with the added angst of soulmates. Love it, so much. It’s wonderful. It inspires me.

A Better Resurrection- OrilliaOrange

What kind of author would I be if I didn’t promote my own fic? More or less set in canon, with soulmates, and angst. Features some Adaar/Josephine, for additional heartstring-plucking.

A Big Deal About Not Very Much- Lily of the West

DO YOU LIKE SHAKESPEARE, DO YOU LIKE CASSANDRA AND VARRIC? THEN YOU’RE GONNA LOVE THIS (UNFINISHED) FIC THAT MASHES THEM ALL TOGETHER. In a series of events that makes Much Ado About Nothing look tame, the Inquisitor, Dorian, Sera, and half the damn keep plot to get Cassandra and Varric to realize they’re in love. 

39. Do you play for achievements/trophies?

NOT AT ALL LMAO. im not very good at video games, despite playing a lot of them, so a lot of the trophies & stuff are just flat out unattainable and i care more about completing character stuff than arbitrary outsider-determined goals to work for. the only game ive tried to get all the trophies for it is lego pirates of the caribbean because that game is so fucking easy and after i got 100% in-game i didnt want to stop playing it so. trophy time

40. Favorite voice actor?

nooott really i dont think?? um.....im better versed in VAs for anime (though theres a lot of crossover) so i cant really say. also i tend to not like, take notice of the VA unless its someone ive heard before or someone i know is already super popular. plus the VA community in general seems kinda fucked up, just look at vic micgnoagjkaldgh or w/e

51. First character you’ve had a crush on?

in a video game?? hmm..... lara croft, but i hadnt realized it yet

52. A game you will always stand behind, and support no matter what?

none. i dont believe its good to ever say youll support a work of fiction no matter what, i think thats a really good way to deafen yourself to criticism and growing out of it. if a gaming series i used to like goes downhill, ill stop supporting it, definitely. i think there are some games ill always like no matter what (final fantasy vii comes to mind, because i think that is a great game especially for its time and that it deserved all the attention it got) but then like on the same note i hate what the compilation of final fantasy vii did to it, and i have a strong dislike of square enix even though i like a lot of their games.

I’m calling you out for going to SEUSS LAND

sEUSS LAND ALLIE IM F UC KING DYING THAT  JOKE IS SO OLD
