How about Ashvalla Lavellan & Dorian Pavus, drunken confessions, "you’re so pretty. it’s actually unfair. i’m mad at you now."

Thank you for the prompt!! Ash and Dorian are so dear to my heart, and I miss writing them like I did in Ash’s canon fic 🥹 but I’m revising it, and adding new scenes and all that, so I merged this ask with @briannasroger ask since they both fit together so well!

"I'm not a templar," Cullen protested weakly, his hands hovering uncertainly at her waist. His touch was almost non-existent, as if she were some forbidden temptation.

"Ex-templar then," she amended, her words slightly slurred. "Still big and strong though, aren't you?”

Cullen's face flushed, the colour creeping up his neck and tinting the tips of his ears—utterly charming, if Ash’s opinion counted. She wanted nothing more than to trace the path of his blush with her lips, to taste the salt of his skin. But her flirtations had not distracted him in the way she hoped. She would simply have to try a little harder.

“You phrased that as a question, but I’m beginning to think it was bait instead.”

Emboldened by her drink, she pressed up on her toes, bringing her face up to his. She wobbled precariously, and he finally—finally—held her hips, keeping her upright. His breath hitched as hers puffed over his lips, and—fuck that jaw of his would be the death of her, a rather unfortunate fact given how much she enjoyed living.

“You look so good right now.” Ash batted her eyes, though she might have blinked only one eye at a time. She truly could not tell. “It’s annoying. Stop it."

That…sounded familiar. Hadn’t she said something of the sort to Dorian earlier that night? Ah yes. "You’re so pretty. It’s actually unfair. I’m mad at you now." To which he’d bragged about his moustache-growing abilities, and Ash wondered if she’d be able to pull off such a look. Would Dorian look good with large breasts?

“I—“ His face flushed an even deeper pink, and he pulled back, his eyebrows raised and unable to process her accusation. Or so his frown led her to believe. He cleared his throat. “Right. I will endeavour to do so. Now, will you allow me to escort you to your room?”

She smiled, wide and toothy, dropping back down onto the balls of her feet. “No.” Ash wasn’t done with him yet.

I already got into this a little bit here, but to recap, Mel's the youngest child in her family. She was smuggled out from under Chronos' rule—by a female titan—to be raised to one day rescue the rest of her still captive family and put an end to him once and for all.

Doesn't that sound a lot like her uncle?

And all that was before the Warsong update, too! Now Mel's doing battle with a monster famous specifically for its challenge to Zeus, and for their cataclysmic battle that ended in Typhon's defeat.

Likely due to the reveal of HADES II, the game HADES and its soundtrack are both currently on big sale! Which makes this an EXCELLENT time to pick it up, if you haven't got em!
