fun will now commence

REQUESTED SHIPS
Some inspiration to start. Mix and match with something from my likes, or do something completely different. Explicit fic is welcome (love a PWP).

Neve/Rana, NB Human Aldwir/Neve Gallus/Rana Savas
Templar Rana Savas, you are everything to me! I'm weak for Neve/Rana, and I'd love to include Rook as their third because everything is better with three.

Neve/Rana: Neve is a bit of a wet cat when it comes to relationships, and what could be hotter, really? Neve being messed up about her feelings. Rana equally bad in ways that make sure this will not go smoothly. Pining. Neve/Rana backstory. Do they have an off-again-on-again thing, something casual, or where's that delicious tension coming from? Rana visiting the Lighthouse. Missing scenes of tenderness/sex/tension during the game. How much is Neve sharing with Rana? Making it work post-canon. AU where Rana is also recruited into the Veilguard.

Neve/Rana/Rook*: everything above! Also Rana/Rook navigating their dynamic around Neve. One of them match-making the other two with unforeseen consequences. A job in Minrathous gone wrong (or right). Bring Rana on an adventure outside of Minrathous for once (is she as much of a city girl as Neve? Paired with a veil jumper Rook, this can only be hilarious). Rana and Rook dealing with Neve being blighted. How does Rook fit into Neve and Rana's detective agency?

*Opting in to: any faction Rook, any lineage Rook, any NB or female Rook. No male Rooks, please. Note my DNWs in regards to player characters.

Leliana/Cass/Viv
The pinnacle of Inquisition ships! The Divine Sandwich, rivals, colleagues, friends, enemies. There is no type of dynamic I won't adore. Working out their dynamic around whoever is Divine. Early Inquisition tension. Huddling for warmth after Haven. Veilguard-era stuck at Skyhold surrounded by darkspawn. Post-canon rebuilding. The evolution of their relationship over the years. I love Divine Vivienne, but anything that works for you and the story is good!

Neve/Vivienne
My two faves in the whole DA universe, of course they should kiss. Vivienne respects competence. Neve understands the necessity of projecting an image. Two incredibly powerful ice mages with such a different attitude to magic. A job brings Neve south. Official business (circle, chantry, politics??) and/or Dorian brings Vivienne north. The Divine needs a detective. There's canon banter about "the Chantry lady with the big hat" meeting the Veilguard at some point, sooooo.

Johanna Hezenkoss/Vivienne
I love whoever nominated this. Two people who are probably worse together than apart, but then again, maybe they'd surprise me. Collaboration. Redemption? Hate sex? Scheming. Only another mage would understand. You scratch my back and I scratch yours. Both of them always find a way to end up on top. That time they met at a magic conference. Academic debates leading to hook-ups. Long-term pen pals. Vivienne mentions in dialogue with Cassandra that there are some... rumours about mortalitasi in the south, so who can blame her for being curious?


THINGS I ENJOY
Hurt/comfort things: scars, bruises, broken bones, concussions, dressing/stitching wounds, magical healing, nightmares, insomnia, huddling for warmth, guilt, non-sexual trauma, heat stroke, hypothermia, loss of powers/magical exhaustion. Be as graphic as you like, I have no inhibitions here.

Tropey things: trapped together, there was only one bed, forced to work together, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, enemies to lovers, hanahaki, found families, sparring as metaphor for sex, five things, body swap, pining, turns out it is not actually unrequited love.

Character/plot things: character studies, fantasy politics, playing the Game, chess (as a board game, a metaphor, and a musical), exploration of religion and faith as well as exploration of magic and science, and where all of these things might intersect.

Sex things: knife play, breath play, masturbation, cunnilingus, sex toys, strap-ons, period sex, desperation, drunk sex, accidental stimulation, fisting, edging, biting, frottage, comfort sex, hand kink, restraints, clothed sex, awkward first times, multiple orgasms, banter in bed, undressing and redressing, pain play, careful sex with injured partner, body worship, touch-starved characters, voyeurism, communicating through sex, loss of control (or being very careful not to lose control), sex as a way of expressing or communicating what characters are feeling/thinking/experiencing. I'm pretty open to most kinks!


DO NOT WANT
ABO, age play, bathroom kinks, daddy/mommy kink, non-con (dub-con is OK). "Cum". Children. First and second person POV. High school/college AUs (other AUs are fine). Non-canonical first names and backstories for player characters. Any worldstate where Alistair is king. Any unrequested player character/NPC ships. Neve/Brom.

Dear black_emporium creator,

Here are some things I enjoy in fictional works:

Women.

Hurt/comfort things: scars, bruises, broken bones, concussions, dressing/stitching wounds, magical healing, nightmares, insomnia, huddling for warmth, guilt, non-sexual trauma, loss of powers/magical exhaustion. Be as graphic as you like, I have no inhibitions here.

Sex things: knife play, breath play, masturbation, cunnilingus, sex toys, period sex, desperation, drunk sex, accidental stimulation, fisting, edging, biting, frottage, comfort sex, hand kink, restraints, clothed sex, awkward first times, multiple orgasms, banter in bed, undressing and redressing, pain play, careful sex with injured partner, body worship, touch-starved characters, communicating through sex, loss of control (or being very careful not to lose control), sex as a way of expressing or communicating what characters are feeling/thinking/experiencing. I'm pretty open to most kinks!

Tropey things: trapped together, there was only one bed, forced to work together, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, enemies to lovers, found families, sparring as metaphor for sex, five things, body swap, arranged marriage, pretending to be a couple, turns out it is not actually unrequited love.

Character/plot things: character studies, fantasy politics, playing the Game, chess (as a board game and as a metaphor), exploration of religion and faith as well as exploration of magic and science, and where all of these things might intersect.


Do not want:
Omorashi/emeto/scat kink, age play or non-con (dub-con is OK). First and second person POV. High school/college AUs (other AUs are fine). Unrequested ace/aro or trans headcanons (I'm picky). Black and white morality regarding the Chantry and the Circles (in-character comments are, of course, welcome). Non-canonical names and backstories for Inquisitors, Hawkes and Wardens. Any worldstate where Alistair is made king of Ferelden. Alistair/Warden in any capacity. Varric.

Please note, I dislike vilification of past romantic partners. For Vivienne especially, I like the idea of her and Bastien having a loving, open relationship before he passed.


Prompts for requested ships:
These are just a handful of prompts if you need some inspiration to start. Mix and match if you will. Something completely different or just PWP is also okay. :)

Leliana/Cassandra Pentaghast/Vivienne
- Coming to terms with who ends up on the Sunburst Throne? (in bed????)
- The Divine and ~ her two Hands ~ ?
- Divine Victoria and her (lack of) celibacy.
- Maybe the Divine requires help from her two previous frenemies/colleagues/rivals?
- Three very different perspectives on faith and the Chantry.
- A scenario where they all have to work together, during or after the game? Most anything can be solved with knives, fists and magic.
- Two of them are in an established relationship and want to invite the third one in?
- TRAPPED TOGETHER.

Leliana/Vivienne
- It seems to me that only circumstance is the difference between the two of them being friends or enemies and if they managed to find a common goal they'd be literally unstoppable.
- Working towards a common political goal? War table mission collaboration?
- Straight-up enemies to lovers? Enemies who are lovers???
- Working together in a survival scenario? (swoon)
- Working together (ugh, eyeroll, must we) to keep Divine Cass safe on the Sunburst Throne?
- Vivienne accompanying Leliana in her personal quest instead of the Inquisitor.
- Or maybe they met (ahem) sometime before the Inquisition?
- There Was Only One Bed.

Cassandra/Vivienne
- A hurt/comfort survival scenario which can be as catastrophic (CAVE-INS! BROKEN BONES! DRAGONS!!!) or as mundane (hiding in a cave waiting for the rain to stop) as you wish.
- Perhaps some huddling for warmth, intimate conversations, magical healing...?
- The classic: sparring to release sexual tension.
- An exploration of Cassandra and Vivienne's idealogical split if Vivienne is Divine.
- Divine Leliana sends them on an Important Mission for the Chantry.
- Hurt/comfort after Cassandra's personal quest.

Aveline Vallen/Vivienne
- Perhaps Aveline comes to Skyhold to drag Hawke and/or Varric back home?
- Maybe Aveline wants answers if Hawke was lost in the Fade and Vivienne was there?
- Or perhaps Vivienne needs to go to (shudder) Kirkwall on Inquisition/Chantry/Circle business?
- Running into each other outside the Black Emporium.
- Is Vivienne secretly charmed by Aveline's arms and sensible attitude?
- Does Aveline entirely forget to be sensible around Vivienne?
- I know I say this every time, but... maybe... SPARRING????
- I prefer a scenario where Aveline and Donnic either never happened or amicably broke up at some point. You can make Hawke a jerk if you want to.

Clarel de Chanson/Vivienne
- Maybe these fellow Orlesian mages knew each other before Clarel joined the Wardens?
- What if Clarel didn't die? What sort of punishment would Clarel be looking at if she survived? What side would Vivienne take in that?
- What if Clarel got pulled into the Fade along with the rest?
- Vivienne does not care for Wardens in general, and especially not ones enacting blood magic, but perhaps they have to work together for some flimsy perfectly sound reason?? Can they get past the initial dislike? Can they find common ground?

Lace Harding/Vivienne
- Viv called her "that adorable scout" <— it's practically canon, babes
- Meanwhile, Harding was like, "she said hello to me!! ...maybe *hearteyes*"
- I'm just saying there's something there and I would love to see it explored.
- I think Vivienne has a lot of time for sensible women, and Harding is very sensible.
- Doing a favor for Divine Vivienne.
- Harding helping Vivienne acquire plants for her alchemy.
- Scouting with Scout Harding because We Need A Mage. Bears? Caves? Mudslides??
- The natural continuation being: bathing together.

Iron Bull/Cassandra Pentaghast/Vivienne
- Maybe Vivienne and the Iron Bull have An Understanding and they invite Cassandra in?
- Cassandra finds out Vivienne and Iron Bull have a Thing and is immediately besieged by a completely proportional curiosity (*cough* voyeurismmmm)
- Maybe Cass and Bull like work their frustrations out in and out of the sparring ring while they're both totally not trying to make Vivienne look at them.
- HUDDLING FOR WARMTH??
- Taking down a High Dragon together which turns on at least 2/3 of them.
- Any kind of D/s or vanilla type of relationship is fine with me.
