Tarquin thinks he and Ashur are dating. He has asked Ashur out and everything, and Ashur said yes. Problem is, Ashur missed the hint by a mile (maybe because of his sheltered and/or Altus upbringing; or the differences between Altus loveless courting and Soporati’s approach to dating; or really any reason as to why). Ashur thinks they’re just friends and pines away. It all comes to a head whenever the misunderstanding is realized. Up to author how or why they realize the confusion. Looking for a happy ending. Bonus points for angst or hurt/comfort. But DNW unhappy ending, bittersweet, ambiguous ending, or anything that is short of they live happily ever after together. Also, no real preference who thought they were dating and who thought they weren’t.

Tarquin plays bass. Ashur only discovers this when he decides to pay him a visit at his apartment when Tarquin is unexpectedly absent from the Shop one evening. (Do they even have bass guitars in Thedas? It could reasonably be any other instrument or part of a modern-ish AU. But I am biased and bass is slutty.)

It all gets a bit much for Tarquin, and he has a bit of a cry late one night when he thinks he's alone. Ashur finds him and is alarmed at the sight, because he's never seen Tarquin this vulnerable. Ashur realises he would do anything to never let Tarquin feel that way ever again. Any rating

Day One: Shadows and Light

The Venatori were certainly audacious enough to do unspeakable acts in the light of day, but Tarquin had also found in his years with the Shadow Dragons that they loved their conspiring in the dead of night just as much. Another one of such nights found himself and The Viper chasing a lead on Venatori activity along a deserted part of the docks. This time, they had bitten off more than they could chew, with a larger swarm of cultists showing up than they had anticipated. Which unfortunately made it all the easier to be spotted, even in the cover of the shadows.

Another typical night in Minrathous.

One (or both) of them gets hit with some kind of truth spell, and the other has to play damage control. Does something gets out that they can't take back? Does Tarquin spill his own secrets to prevent the Viper's secret identity from coming to light? Does it work? Or is there a different secret that gets told?
