085 | In which I read entirely too much Solas/Lavellan fic, and am led into temptation by puns

► Solas (and Solas/Lavellan) has eaten my life. I’ve read so much fic in the last… ten days? (Holy shit, has it really only been ten days???)

I’ve also been writing a little, albeit slowly. But I digress.

It’s actually probably a good thing that I came to this game somewhat late; otherwise, I’d have been sitting around pining for more fic to exist. I’ve come across quite a bit of junk, but I’ve also found many really, really good fics, so I want to talk about them!

( cut for length, and casual mentions of spoilers )

I’ve read and liked plenty more fic, but those are the ones that stood out to me as being my favorites.


► While reading Solas/Lavellen fic, I couldn’t help but notice some recurring themes / tropes /etc., some of which I enjoyed, and others… not so much.

( I’d say that here comes the venting portion of the entry, but I don’t think that I’m annoyed enough for it to count as a vent )

And there we have it! The results of DAI inflicting me with a desperate need for fic are, apparently, a list of gushing recs and a few paragraphs of semi-venting.

.....And the Solas/Lavellan fanmix I was listening to while typing this up just starting playing a cover of "Wrecking Ball". After some brief moments of "wtf", I realized... it actually kind of fits? Wtf, Solas.
