see how it shines

If anyone is in the mood for their daily dose of sad wet dog Solas, this is the fic for you. A completely self-indulgent piece I put my heart in, and made him cry out his in turn.

Thank you so much to @lampost-in-winter for always tagging me in such cute games 🥺

Last song: I Don't Belong In This Club by Why Don't We ft. Macklemore, it came on shuffle while I was driving back from work and I had a good jam

Favorite colour: Green!

Currently reading: I was reading She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan, but I kind of put it on hold, for I've been called back like a siren's song to yet another reread of in the face of your light by noverture

Current obsession: Dragon Age pretty much goes unsaid, so I will say that I've finally watched Project Hail Mary with my friends the other day and I have not stopped thinking about it since. If you have watched it, suffer with me and watch this edit so I'm not sobbing alone

Currently working on: I have so many wips I should be working on, but for now I am. Very much Not working on them. Posting that fic last week has drained me of all creative energy (I am so proud that I managed to finish it but it was like my last hooray before my brain needed a nap)

Finding some long forgotten screenshots while cleaning out my phone, so it is now Ta'revas Lavellan posting hour

This mf is

Meet Josh Lavellan, also known as Mr. Resting Bitch Face, President of the Dorian Snoggers Skyhold Club (party of one), and occasional necromancer.

I can be trusted around a song tag game, because I can be normal about them (lie) (they are my favourite). Thank you soo much @vhen-harel for giving me the chance to go feral and share some bops 🔥

T — The Chain by Fleetwood Mac

Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise Run in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies

A — Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths

The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken Remember the pact of our youth Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping Since there is no me without you

R — Rat a Tat by Fall Out Boy

Are you ready for another bad poem? One more off key anthem Let your teeth sink in Remember me as I was not as I am

E — Emerald Star by Lord Huron

I've come for you, my love Through a window in the dark Don't you know you're my everything? If I lost you, I think I would die

V — Various Storms & Saints by Florence and the Machine

The monument of the memory You tear it down in your head Don't make the mountain your enemy Get out, get up there instead

A — As It Was by Hozier

Tell me if, somehow, some of it remains How long you would wait for me and how long I've been away The shape that I'm in now, your shape in the doorway Make your good love known to me

S — SAMRA / سمرة by Saint Levant e Babylone

وأنا عشانك بحمل بقلبي كية ما تبراش (And for you I carry a wound in my heart that never heals) غني عشانك، إنتي النغمة إلّي في دمّي تسير (I sing for you, you’re the melody that runs in my blood)

I had to stop myself from not putting Hozier in here twice, because I clearly have a problem. If any of you are in the mood for some more songs, I have made a playlist for our two favorite disaster gays (technically I also have a Solavellan playlist, but it's very scrawny. Still quite gay though)
