fic recs

Si Fueris Antiva by @flowersforthemachines

bellarook, bellara & viago & rook · flowers has the best bellara voice I've ever read and ingeniously weaves the Wardens & Crows together post-canon, plus so many details that make each character & ship immersive and compelling 🤌

blood; seafoam by ashurautism

queerplatonic calien/isseya · vignettes in calien's POV that cover part of Last Flight and post-canon to Isseya's death - a perfect expansion on their ambiguous dynamic in the novel and the most devastating juxtaposition of slice-of-life and Warden angst (: you Will Cry

to love me is to suffer me by @rosella-writes

Original Character & DATV Companions · a study in grief, with each stage embodied by a different companion. Their process and healing is reframed through the eyes of Rosamund, a Mourn Watch companion OC, an incredibly insightful story about friendship and yearning and growth and change and so much love <3

Demonstration by @wolfmoonwildflowers

Teia/Viago/Rook · #mybiaspick bc this was a gift for me, and features my OC, but it is an insanely good look at both Viago and Rook suffering the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known and struggling with emotional intimacy (while also being incredibly emotionally intimate, as long as they don't look at it directly)

Détente by @juniper-and-dragonthorn

Teia/Viago · I re-read this piece recently and was reminded of how fantastically it captures Teiago in a breakup, how their relationship haunts them even when they're not together, and the push-pull intensity of getting back together 😌

art recs

this comic by @beachhotdog ft. her rook zea, viago, lucanis, teia, and spite · I love silly art and this one lives rent free in my brain, I think about it all the time, and I"m forever obsessed with the way hotdog draws the Crows <3

this teiarook illustration by @zaahvi · #mybiaspick art edition, I'm STILL not over this stunning art zaahvi did of Marisol and Teia for Arlathan eXchange 😭❤️😭❤️ frankly I might never be and I'm okay with that, it's so beautiful

this teiarook illustration by @larkinna · I think the way dani draws teia could sustain me forever, I want to print this out and EAT IT!!! the tattoos, the dresses, the texture of teia and arvane's HAIR, and of course. teia looking back at the camera 🥵🥵🥵

this teiarook illustration (there's definitely not a pattern here ahaha what do you mean) by @thimblings · another #biaspick but I just LOVE how soft teia and marisol are here, and I could chew on thimblings' style and the way she draws Crows for literally days

this teiago illustration by emryx · FINGERS UNDER GLOVE AKA VIAGO DE RIVA PORN 🥵🥵 I mean. what. I'm normal

this skyhold illustration by sketchytea · I had the privilege of watching this piece come to life as part of DAA last year and it STILL takes my breath away, it is a stunning tribute to skyhold and I'm so glad I have a physical print of it (:

this alistair, mahariel, and anora illustration by cozmic-ash · I still remember when this piece came across our DABB check-ins and I was IMMEDIATELY obsessed with the playing card motifs, it's an incredibly clever composition and the designs and contrast for the characters is so 🤌

there are SO MANY more fics and artworks I could list here, every day I eat so well because of all of you, thank you for sharing this space with me!! I look forward to checking out anything you rec, and another year of rotating our blorbos into Situations 💜
