i  thought  the  plan  was  to  fake  a  relationship,  not  be  in  one!

you  kissed  me  like  it  actually  meant  something.

oh  thank  god,  they  bought  our  story.

quick!  kiss  me.

independent rp blog for Ashur, The Viper from Dragon Age: The Veilguard

mature content and heavy topics ahead, follow at your own discretion

I will be moving Jaskier and Emmrich back to their own blogs, @dandiestbard and @charmingthebones. and Ashur will also be getting a new blog which I am setting up right now over at @serpentinemask (followed some people already hi don't worry that's me)

This blog as well as my OC multimuse will be going on low activity/semi hiatus for the foreseeable future. My Crows will remain active, and I will probably be putting Esha and Lorant from my OC blog back on there.

Basically, before the end of the year not only am I helping my parents move into their new place, we're selling our house to be able to have the capital to start our own business. My life is about to get hectic and busy really fucking quick, and I'd like to just have a few highly active single muse blogs to hang out on for a while.

SOOOO……….. LIKE.

I am ENTHUSIASTICALLY wanting to write with you but I am SLOW. 

I AM RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY TO GET OOC MESSAGES BUT I AM SLOW.

HOLY SHIT LIKE I ALWAYS FUCKING WEEP WITH UTTER FUCKING JOY WHEN I GET ASK IC BUT I AM S LOW. 

LIKE I AM GENERALLY VERY SLOW BUT I APPRECIATE MY MUTUALS. 

I AM SUPER RIDICULOUSLY SLOW BUT I REALLY want to LIKE CULTIVATE OUR MUSES RELATIONSHIP 100000% OKAY?

I’M JUST

SO SLOW

AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR THOSE WHO WAIT

this... isn't my bed.

i'll make us breakfast.

wait, how long have you been here?

did you stay the night?

you're so beautiful like this.

did i give you that hickey?

don't get up. stay right here.

kiss me again.

nice bedhead.

are you... wearing anything?

this was a bad idea.

i've wanted to do that forever.

did you enjoy it?

i did a number on your back. sorry about that.

is this your shirt?

maybe you should go.

i had a great time.

if you stay, i'll make us coffee.

i shouldn't have stayed over.

come back here. please?

i've never been like that with anyone before.

there's a bra on the ceiling fan.

did we... actually...?

we could do it again, if you want.

you made me feel... incredible.

was it... okay?

you look beautiful in my bed.

what do you remember?

was i too loud?

you can borrow my shirt.

i guess this makes us more than friends.

this can't be happening.

i could spend the day just like this, right here with you.

is that a hickey?

this was just for fun. it doesn't mean we're together.

this wasn't supposed to happen.

should we talk about it?

what time is it? i'm late for work.

how long have you been awake?

i remember... everything.

we should do that again sometime.

i think we cuddled.

that was the best night of my life.

what parts do you remember?

why don't you stay for breakfast?

was it good for you?

the sex was great.

how do you like your eggs?

are we still friends?

sorry, i've got morning breath.

i'd really like to keep seeing you.

i'm glad i invited you in.

finally... fucking finally.

please don't leave the bed.

don't make fun of me if i walk funny.

this doesn't mean anything.

my friends are never going to believe this.

i don't even know who i was last night.

no one's ever taken care of me like that.

let me help you clean up.

maybe we should forget this even happened.

i'm just going to... leave.

you said some wild things last night.

you're wearing my shirt.

maybe we could make this a regular thing.

am i blushing? i'm blushing, aren't i.

where did i put my glasses?

your clothes are in the living room.

i need a shower.

your hair's a mess.

you make a great pillow.

i thought we agreed this would ruin our relationship.

did i do something wrong?

we were pretty loud.

do you want me to leave?

i asked you to stay the night.

i bet your neighbors hate us.

stay like this.

well, that's one way to bounce back.

what about round two?

don't let go of me.

why don't you join me in the shower?

we can't keep doing this.

we're fucked, aren't we.

how long have i been asleep?

@writtenmisfits sent ❛ there's so much i wish i was able to tell you. ❜ (ashur to matt)

What an interesting choice of words, Matt thinks as he sits across from Ashur. What isn't he telling him? Matt has known for some time that Ashur has been keeping something from him.

Sometimes he smells of blood, other times it's clear he's lying even if not directly. Whatever he has to hide, Matt hasn't pushed, because the man is good and Matt has something to hide too.

"Truthfully, Matt? Fear."

Ashur's made the habit of coming to Matt's place to talk, mostly when the other man reaches out to him for guidance or just someone to listen, outside of confession. He's certain by now that Matt knows he's confessed to Ashur, though Ashur takes the Seal of Confession very seriously so he'll never tell. Today, however, Ashur initiated the visit.

...An unfair thought, on reflection. Ashur had his theatrics, but the man was too bloody earnest to lie about something like that. The Viper had proven time and time again how much he believed in what they were doing. A man doesn't discuss methods of sheltering and guarding freed slaves into the wee hours of night, nor put his life on the line against the Venatori, for a half-arsed commitment.

Not to mention, they'd had more than enough debates - sometimes impassioned ones - for Tarquin to know Ashur's sincerity and mettle.

"I know." Ashur said with a small smile beneath the mask. Tevinter society was, in his humble opinion, absurd and restricting and based more on ego than on anything actually viable or truthful. In the eyes of the Maker, Altus were no better than Soporati, so why it should matter to those in power he never understood. Change, however, could only be affected slowly, even for the Divine. He could only do so much in the Magisterium when the majority still did not support his progressive views.

He always felt he accomplished more here, with the Shadow Dragons as the Viper, than he ever did as Aequitas II. And Tarquin, that rough Soporati Templar, was far more noble and honest than many of the highbloods he had the misfortune to have to mingle with because of both family and station.

Fortunately, Aequitas II was known to be an introverted Divine, rarely seen outside the Argent Spire unless to conduct official business in the Magisterium, the Circle, or the Chantry. Such a reputation afforded him the ability to go undisturbed, and rarely did even his staff know, except a trusted few, when Ashur was prowling the streets in his preferred role atop the city's roofs.
