Since Veilguard was released, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
frek and I have been passing plot and AU ideas back and forth. Some of them die on the vine, some wind up in the WIP bin, and some... get out of hand.
As far as I can tell from our chat history, this started because we were joking about Spite getting confused over the concept of gender and why Tarquin doesn't have the same bits Lucanis does. And then I mentioned how I was surprised that in a fandom with so much trans fic I hadn't really seen much trans!Lucanis pop up yet, and the idea grew legs, and now here we are months later with a truly absurd amount written between the two of us.
This concept has gotten a few months out of hand at this point, enough that I can't easily summarize it for folks in a message when asked, and since they have asked I'm dropping it here to share more easily. It's not outright fic so much as it is extended backstory for a (more or less) canon-compliant trans!Lucanis.
CW: Spoilers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard; discussion including canon-typical violence and bigotry, discussion of transphobia (mostly in the abstract), torture, mentions of sexual acts, a closeted trans character at repeat risk of being outed, and dysphoria. Also some swearing. Zara's bit has a second spoiler cut and more specific warnings on it just in case.
