a captivating shot of our little Bard

[GSSAGE7]

I was going to make a new topic to ask this, but I suspect the good people in the Leliana Appreciation thread would already know the answer to this.
If you become the Chancellor in Origins, does that mean you don't get the Leliana epilogue slide in Awakening?

[Zjarcal]

Chancellor means picking the "I just wish to continue serving the crown" right? I don't think that one conflicts Leli's Awakening epilogue since you're not getting politically married. The political marriage (becoming Queen/King with Leli as mistress) does conflict.

Yes, that is the one I'm referring to. Since the Chanellor slide says The Warden goes back to Denerim, and the Leliana slide says the two are traveling, I'm worried about a conflict.

[Zjarcal]

I can't speak with certainty, but I'm pretty sure that won't conflict. If I'm correct, with Awakening the epilogue slides only place the monarch ending above the LI endings, so the chancellor slide would only show up if you had no LI.

But I'm not positive.

[Giggles_Manically]

I can confirm this:
The Chancellor ending DOES NOT mess up Leliana's epilogue in awakening.
Nor does it mess it up in DA2.

Thank you Giggles.
Now I can not-so secretly rule Fereldan through Alistair while still being in love with Leliana.

[PickledGear]

Don't know if this has been gone over or not but there was a theory/rumor or something where people were saying that in the Darkspawn Chronicles alternate universe since our Warden dies in the Joining that Alistair during his travels romances Leliana? You think thats true or even possible?

One thing I think DAO lacked and DA2 kinda tried to do was the in party romances between party members (Like Isabella with Fenris.) And in a way Alistair and Leliana seem like the only 2 that could have had a possible romance. Well if Leliana was unhardened anyways. (Even though my sick little mind always enjoyed a weird romance between Alistair and Morrigan.)

[GSSAGE7]

It went over a few months ago. People were downright venomous over it. At least Leliana and Alistair fans.
Besides, the way I read it, Fenris and Isabela was just a "friends with benefits" situation.

[PickledGear]

Yeah but at least they had some interaction with each other. It always made me feel like a ****** that my character was getting the only romance/action out of everybody. Well that I know of anyways. Zevran probably did some weird **** in Denerim or something.

Morrigan doesn't get along with anyone, and she knows it, so she wouldn't try.
Oghren flirts with all the women, and he keeps getting shut down.
Zevran flirts with all the women and Alistair, and gets either shut down, or Alistair doesn't get it.
Shale doesn't have the proper parts.
Sten is only focusing on killing darkspawn.
Wynne thinks most of the party is too young for her
Dog is... a dog.
I suppose process of elimination means that Leliana and Alistair would get hitched if you have to pair the spares after that, but why would you have to?
Your example with Isabela and Fenris has the fact that Isabela had been flirting with Fenris in party banters the entire game. All you can say for Alistair and Leliana is that they're friends.

talking about romance between Leli and Ali -  here is a little something I wrote for one of our prompts

Zeleen wrote...

My entry for the prompt this week:

“Forbidden Fruit”

Leliana finished her entry in her journal, closed the book and held it close to her chest. It was beautiful, with roses embossed in the leather, and gold leaf trimmed each page. Another gift from Alistair. He was prone to bring her a gift from his travels to neighboring estates of noble men with eligible young daughters.

Eamon was anxious for the new king to wed and had set a plan for Alistair to meet intimately with likely candidates through out Ferelden.

“One day he’ll find the one that suits him.” Leli thought. She knew she could not bear to see that day so, she had made up her mind, she would leave and the sooner the better.

She laid the book on the side table as she walked out to the gardens.

The air was heavy with the sweet fragrance of the blossoming cherry trees. She loved this time of year when the sun was growing warmer with each day. She watched as a red squirrel scurried up a tree, chasing a smaller one. She smiled to herself..  ‘aha.. spring is certainly in the air!”

She had been in the castle for almost a year now at Alistair’s insistence, saying that he enjoyed her stories and songs. At first it was just as friends, talking war stories and laughing at the escapades of Maldon Aeducan, the Hero of Ferelden. And now Alistair would draw her into conversations of state and often sought her counsel in matters of court.

She’s not sure just when it was she discovered that she had fallen in love with Alistair. But, deeply and desperately. she did love him.

An Olesian Bard in love with the King of Ferelden. She laughed at herself, remembering a conversation she had with Maldon on forbidden fruit being the sweetest. “No”, she thought to herself, “forbidden fruit is heartbreak and sleepless nights.”

Alistair was due to return anytime and she would tell him today that she will be leaving on the morrow. She did not want to give him the chance to change her mind.

She walked to “their bench” as she was accustomed to calling it now. Almost every afternoon after supper they would find them selves sitting here. Talking of the days events. She would even listen politely to Alistair’s dismay at the young ladies Eamon was forcing on him.

The bench was nestled between two Willows next to a small stream. It was lovely sometimes just to sit in quite and listen to the gurgling of the water as it traveled its way through a maze of dips and gullies. She was in that state of bliss when she was startled out of it by Alistair’s shouting..

“Leli, there you are! What a ride today.” His eyes flashing golden glints as he spoke, We shall have fresh rabbit stew for supper tonight as there was good hunting on the road today!”

He sat himself down unceremoniously next to her and looked fondly at her “You, my dear, look gorgeous.”

“Why, thank you, kind sir,” Leliana managed a smile. She will miss their bantering, she will miss the way his hair shone gold-red in the sunlight, she would .. she stopped herself as she could feel the sadness start to take over and did not want him to see.

“Here, these are for you” he handed her a bunch of flowers. They were unlike any Leliana had seen before. She examined their green stems, a lovely shimmery green stem with leaves shaped like the blade of a Takoba with tiny white flowers hanging like a series of miniature bells, and a lovely sweet scent.

“Careful, it smells sweet but it is a poison. I thought of you when Desmon Riley described them to me.  ‘Sweet, Leliana, deadly Leliana’  I thought to myself,” he paused for a moment. “ And it’s even named after you! It’s called Lily of the Valley.” He was speaking of her prowess with a blade and arrow of course and her knowledge of poisons was unsurpassed in his eyes.

She smiled at him, Only Alistair could call her deadly and make it sound like an endearment.

“Oh, wait, something else,” he handed her a small velvet case. Inside it, a lovely emerald and pearl brooch made to look like the flower he had just gifted her.

“Alistair, it’s simply beautiful. I.. I have news myself. I will be traveling tomorrow to Highever for a while.

“When will you be back?” Alistair’s voice seemed edged with concern.

“I’m not coming back, Alistair. It’s time for me to go, to travel and see the world. You’ll be wed soon and you’ll be busy with your new life.”

She almost choked holding tears back as she spoke and rose rapidly from the bench, “ I must go and make ready, thank you for the lovely gifts, I will speak to you again at supper.”

“Leli, wait!” his voice was hoarse, he took her by the arm and turned her to face him.
He leaned in to her, smelling the scent of her skin, a hint of roses touched his nose.
"You can't leave, as King I command you to stay."

She looked up into those honey hued hazel eyes she had grown to love, they were dark now with an intensity that startled her, “Alistair..”

He saw her eyes filling with tears and pulled her closer, burying his face in her hair when he whispered, "Leli, oh my sweet Leli, " his hot breath on her ear sent shivers through her whole being.

The embrace, the smell of his cologne made her heady with delight… as he held her face cupped in his hands.

Mesmerized by the copper lights dancing in her hair from the sun, he stared down at Leliana’s slightly parted mouth. Touching her chin with the crook of his finger, “I love you,” he said softly as he stroked her lips with his thumb. “I’m going to kiss you now, Leli.”

Leliana’s breath caught in her throat. She did not protest or make an effort to move away, instead she leaned into the kiss.

Alistair’s fingers entwined in her hair as he lowered his face down to hers then, slowly he caressed her lips with his.

The soft pressure of his lips awakened a longing in Leliana. Breathing faster she returned his kiss with fervor.

A low rumble reverberated in Alsiter’s chest, The unspoken love fueling his growing need to have her closer. The hunger he had denied himself suddenly and ravenously came to the surface.

Leliana tasted desire on Alistair’s mouth. He pressed her body against his own and her arms tightened around him in response.

An outpouring of love filled her. The depth of his own love went into his kiss, and Leliana knew then that she would never leave Alistair and they’d be all right.

@Zeleen:
I'm having a tough time resisting the urge to scream "heresy", "blasphemy" and "sacrilege". 

All in capital letters, of course.

See it as a good thing: if it outrages a Leliana fan, it might outrage an Alistair fan as well! And it's well written.

Still, that doesn't deny the facts. There is a potential for a romance. But Alistair would just break up with her after the Landsmeet. He's selfish enough to break up any romance just to be king.

I hope it's not weird that I modeled my current character after Leliana. She's also a redheaded archer rogue. Made using the More Hair mod, PineappleTree's eye color mod, and a vanilla preset face that I tweaked.

Weird is when a male start cross-dressing and does the Remigold.

Your version of Leliana is one of the few that I actually like.

Personally, I like this Leliana facemorph the most.
Lots of choice in that one. Like, three different Leliana face, each of them just as beautiful.

It's times like this that I wonder if there was so much hatred between fandoms before Darkspawn Chronicles.

Sometimes, I wonder that too.

Seriously though, I don't care much about DC. It is simply an alternative universe, and I ain't surprised that Leliana and Alistair are in a romance together.
I played the game as a female Warden once and was wondering what the dialogue would be if I chose Alistair over Leliana (without continuing of course, I simply reloaded and dumped Alistair instead).
In my opinion, the ensuing dialogue implied that she likes Alistair too. Or at least, in my eyes it did.

And since I don't really hate Alistair anymore (he has a lot in common with me, in fact), I wouldn't mind.

When I see the hatred for Alistair, I feel like the only Leliana fan who actually likes Alistair. My canon Warden has Leliana as a lover, and Alistair as a best friend.
Hell, the only reason I found out about the Isabela part was because I tried to get Alistair a room at the Pearl after "the" conversation.

[Zeleen]

@ Retrogue - your character is great!

As I play this game I am a Alistair fangirl, Zevran fangirl and Leli fan..  the new play through I am doing is Alistair with 3 mages. my Mage fm Rave and Morrigan and Wynne... it will probably make me a fan of Morrigan.. I already like Wynne... and looking forward to different banter

Thanks! Glad you like her. Sadly, I didn't make her in the Toolset. I just made her as a character. However, I may try to recreate that look and upload it as a Leliana override just for kicks.

[PickledGear]

You know I would like to see if a Corrine Kempa morph for Leliana. Match the voice actress with the character like people did with Morrigan and Claudia Black.

On the other note, I'm guessing if Wynne had the same level of wisdom and... kindness that she has at her age in DAO but was younger. Her and Alistair could have had something also. I mean some of the banter in Return to Ostagar I believe had Wynne joking about Alistair better being careful or he'll wind up waking up next to her in bed or something like that.

On a more on topic thingy. I've got the lines for one of my more... difficult drawings done. I won't be spoiling anything about the story behind it... well you can see on the dA page for it. Anyways it is definitely apart of A Bard's Love. Several chapters ahead of where the story is now.

[Retrogue]

Is she dead? No! She can't be dead! *Sad panda face*

That's some seriously nice line work there. Keep drawing.

She has Plot Armor, the strongest armor one can ever get.
