Merrill reads The Stone Heartbreaker.


I adore the way you draw Merrill. <3

It does make me worry she won't match the image of her I now have in my head when I play the game though, however the short story featuring her gives me hope she'll live up to it.

What's bad is that everytime my mother in law walks past the office door while reading I'm reading this thread (or looking at the novel covers in particular) I feel I must cover up the screen.

If anything, there should be one featuring both the Tethras brothers.

She won't think, she will know that everything is right in the world of Bioware Social.

I could hardly pass up the opportunity for some wretchedly purple prose.  May I present...

Silken Surrender

Chapter 5:  An Unexpected Visitor

Her list of excuses grew by the minute – her best tunic, bloodied that afternoon, was still wet from the
wash; nobody was about and there was no real harm in it; it wasn’t smart or particularly ladylike to wander around the house in nothing but smalls.  Besides, hadn’t her mother always warned her that wearing damp shirts would earn her a nasty cold?

The real reason gnawed at her guilty conscience, chewing on her like a teething mabari.  But Marian Hawke was a master of her own emotions and slid the soft, worn shirt on anyway, shoving aside all feelings of doubt and guilt.  It was just a shirt.  It didn’t mean anything.  She wandered from the kitchen, wear the she had first glimpsed the fine tunic drying near the dwindling fire.  It was as bright as the flames, as bright as a raw wound.  Impossible to ignore.  Her bare feet slapped the stone floor as she padded from the kitchen and its cozy heat to the chilly hall and then her bed chamber.  Anders was right.  She was looking ragged.  She needed more rest to regain her strength and weather the coming battles.

Marian curled up in her bed, the fire in the nearby hearth roaring away, making covers redundant and stuffy.  She hardly knew when it happened, but before long, in the half-haze of a dozy slumber, she smelled something intensely masculine.  Spiced… Warm… Like heated, mulled cider on a wintry day.  It was irresistible and all around her, emanating from the very furs and blankets of the bed.  She tossed, sleep becoming impossible as the heady, strong perfume overwhelmed her senses.

Vaguely, she began to recognize the scent.  It came back to her like the licking tendrils of a lost and misremembered dream.  Sweat and ash, sword polish and new leather… Marian shivered, clutching suddenly at the shirt and, mistakenly, her own bosom.  Her skin seemed to come alive, awash with prickling excitement…  It was forbidden even to think of him – her comrade, her friend, but there was no denying the result of simply smelling his tunic.  The dark sensuality of his presence seemed to be woven into the very fabric of the shirt, glittering there like the fine golden threads worked into the collar and hem.

In the shadowy twilight, Marian whispered his name, and as if that one word held all the power in the world, she lifted her eyelashes to find a shadow falling over the bed.

“Stones below, that’s a sight I never fancied I see.”  His low, purring rasp sent another shiver cascading down her spine.

"How did you get in here?!"

One thick brow lifted in inquiry. "Oh you know..." He shrugged, wiggling his fingers. "Deft hands, I suppose."

“I didn’t… I thought everyone went to the tavern!” Marian sat up and gasped, humiliated, clutching at the scandalous plunge of the neckline, which happened to be exactly where the dwarf’s eyes lingered.

He laughed, amused, and put one heavy hand on the tick.

“Surprise,” he murmured, his lips curling into a knowing smile.

Publisher:  Hey Varric.  Your last romance novella sold really well.
Varric:  Of course it did.  But I'm here for buisness.
Publisher:  All ready?  You just finished your last book yesterday.
Varric:  I know.  I'm just that talented.  So I got this idea.  It'll be my best one yet.
Publisher:  What is it called?
Varric:  I don't know yet.
Publisher:  ... Um?
Varric: It'll sell.
Publisher:  *sigh* When can I have it?

At the rate this is going, Varric thread is going to have more elegant romance content than the game itself.

And lol at Merrill's expression xD

Thanks for the warm reception of the Silken Surrender cover! Even if it's a joke and done for the lulz, once still can't help but feel pride it achieved the intended effect :3

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I don't know what's funnier -- the artwork or the cheesy text on the book covers. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/grin.png[/smilie]

Coming up with cheesy blurbs is surprisingly tough; After reworking it many times, I had to quickly jot it down before I forget.

Hahahaha Aimo, I get what you were saying now xD Glorious~

Right? This cover motif makes me laugh everytime the books that feature this are clearly displayed on the shelves....but now that I've drawn one, the joke's on me :o

But Varric knows :whistle: He always knows.

ZOMG.
I...I love that such delicious purple prose came into existence after I posted the cover. I feel validated as an enabler <3

Is it wrong that I wish these novels were real now? :(

Man, this is what I love most about this thread, the way we bounce creativity off each other and enjoy the outcome. It gives me the warm fuzzies :wub:
