3) Amsterdam (Coldplay): The actual song is probably a bit too depressing to fit Zev's personality. But these 2 lines could be about how the Warden frees him from the Crows, from his past and from his readiness to die:

Stood on the edge, tied to the noose
You came along and you cut me loose

Also, about how his Crow training didn't quite desensitize him; or about his reaction to Rinna's death:

I know I'm dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath


I like that.   I had been thinking mainly about songs that were about the love story including how it ends (i.e. happier ones).  But maybe ones about his background would be better.

I feel like a fool because when I chose 'I can't explain', the Who song, it was partly because of the line which I'd heard all these years as 'I feel I'm cold, way down in my soul'.  It was such an odd line for a love song, but it would have fitted well with Zevran (even though he isn't really cold).   But when I was posting the link I checked the lyrics and I'd misheard them.   For years and years.   (It was a song I listened to a lot in my teens). 

Page topper.  Here's Zevran in a compromising position.

Here's some more Muse and some more Coldplay that fit the bill:

1) Citizen Erased (Muse): This could be Zev both struggling with what he's been taught by the Crows and asking the Warden to not make him explain his feelings.

Break me in, teach us to cheat
And to lie, cover up what shouldn't be shared
And the truth's unwinding
Scraping away
At my mind, please stop asking
Me to describe

Oooh, Citizen Erased never crossed my mind, but it works nicely! X3

Self-expressed, exhausting to all
To see and to be
What you want and what you need


I'll have to look up the Coldplay when I get home (no speakers here, let alone no yootoobz). :<

*drops Greagoir/m!Surana kmeme and falls over* I make no guarantees on this one, I keep wavering between hating it and being indifferent to it. The longer I held onto it the more I hated it, though, so it's probably just as well that I gave up and posted it. Right? X: Right.

And hooray for music! I'm seriously too tired for anything more coherent than that, but I'll have lots of stuff to look up/play after I get some sleep later. :D


I'm glad you finished it!  I love Greagoir in this story.  I can't see why you hate it/are indifferent.  I really like the dialogue too.

I'm still looking for the perfect song, but I suppose this one sums up Zevran's treatment of the warden very well.

OP liked it, so now I feel less "OMG IT SUCKS!", lol. ^^ Still kind of pondering a post-game sequel.

That's....juvenile ( if it was intended as a joke ), otherwise I imagine it fits.

I for one think the best song that suits Zevran ( as lover, assassin, rogue etc. ) is THIS. If anyone finds something better, I would be keen to listen to it.

It's a bit of both. It is difficult to find songs which sum up his devotedness. 'You Got It' was the best I could think of so far - that and the one I mentioned that isn't on youtube. But the above is probably even better because Zevran is a bit corny at times, let's face it.

The Two Steps from Hell one is nice.

That certainly fits as a romance song, but where is the roguish and exotic part of it?

Hey...Zevran is one of my favorite characters ( beyond Morrigan, Anora, Bhelen, Loghain and Sten obviously )

Funnily enough I like all the ones you mentioned too. With Alistair of course.

Is it weird that all my favorite characters aren't party members?

not really. I'm egotistical and say my warden is my favourite character. I still don't know where she came from. Would be nice if she can go away sometimes so I don't exhaust myself trying to juggle my life around a writing schedule.

All of my favorite characters are dwarves. I think that just being a dwarf gives you an extra twenty points for me. Posted Image

Who met a young Crow...

The Goddess was very mean and used claws and teeth...
In the end the vet decided it would be better to let the Crow return to Antiva Heaven.. the end. :crying:

Aw, poor little bird! :crying: 

On the completely other note - does someone have a screenshot of Zevran where he looks up like this? (The face is important not the rest... :3) or this - only eyes to the camera and not girl :D

Tank you people, you are too awesome! :3 It'll help a lot.
