No worries! Some times we move really fast. I always have close to 20 pages to catch up on every day after I've slept.
20 if you are lucky. After PW's podcast we jumped almost 100
Well, that's going to make things hard, isn't it?
So, question: Are we allowed to post screenies here? I just got a really good one of Solas at the Breach in my latest pt and... wait, is this the spoiler thread or not? The screenie isn't spoilery (obviously), but the rest of that sentence was.
@Zarro - I can't even like that you know those #feels. It's tooortuuuuurrrreeee....
@Pasta - I, too, drank from the well. I mean I didn't originally but I always save before potential cut scenes. When everything hit the fan I decided I liked the idea of

Spoilers are allowed! You can put it behind spoiler tags if you want but I think we've sort of given up on that at this point.
So I had "the talk" with my fiance tonight. He's felt for a couple weeks now that something's been off with me.
A little back story -- He HATES spoilers. It frustrates me to no end some times, because babes let's be realistic, you're not going to have time to play this franchise. I mean, I am still holding onto all of the pain of Shepard. Please, can you play the ME Trilogy some time soon, so I can purge all of this ****? I mean, Mordin, Legion, Thane, Shepard. I hurt. So much. And on top of that I have to hold onto everything for DA as well. Which hasn't been as difficult for me until now. Honestly I've never wanted to tell him about how much my little heart loves Alistair. He'd give me that look.
And then Solas came along. I didn't even mention his name. Kept it as vague as possible. Confessed how once I finished the game the world lost a little colour. Explained how the writing and acting for Solas melded together in such a way that sometimes he was a little too real. That statement got a reaction. "Are you cheating on me with a video game character?" He wasn't serious. We had a laugh. I then had no choice but to explain how it was embarrassing for me at first that a character was making me feel that way. Because I have such a fulfilling relationship that has me content and happy. But these damn pixels were breaking me to the point that carrying out every day life was difficult for almost a week.
But then I told him about you guys and this thread. It's helped me immensely. Thanks Solas thread!
As clarification. Yes, yes you are. We all are.
Post what ever. Smut, smut art, spoilers.
Just make sure anything NSFW is labeled as such (and such art put under spoiler tags) please.
I do not like Surprise!Porn and I am not the only one.
We aren't alone. There are a number of Solassians who are 40 and up. Here's to squeeing (and crying) at Bioware romances for decades!
*Joins Team 40's*
Edit: Creators, I have another 10 pages to go!
As clarification. Yes, yes you are. We all are.
I know! But geeze I can't tell him that. 
@sumojellybean: If I could, I would make everyone darkspawn. It would be Inquisitioner the darkspawn tale. Roleplay as a hurlock and romance some shrieks. There will be no mouth moving because I don't have time for rigging. No animation too because I can't rig.Living the dream.
I would make everyone Solas including Quizzy. It would be glorious like Rimmerwold on Red Dwarf
me and another modder joking about dream mods

Of course not. XD

Awww...
Me and BF are both game fans too so we have a deal: He got to romance Jack from ME3 and I got Thane. And similarly for each fictional franchise. He got Hermione I got Syrius black.
He hates DA combat so I get all DA just for me but he gets Silvannas and every blood elf on WoW. We both have a weak spot for elves it seems. I even used to be a belf and he was a night elf. Now he is a dwarf and I'm a goblin

In all seriousness, I wrote my fanfic because I needed resolution that was grounding. Either sad or happy, just loving and trusting. Because #thosefeels.
I walked into DAI intending to romance Cullen. I've loved Cullen since my very first character in Origins, who was a mage, who he flirted so sweetly with and who I never got to keep. And every time he showed up I got so excited.
But then Solas sort of surprised me. Like...wow, this bald guy is just...not what I expected. And the more I listened to him and asked him stuff the more I really just actually LOVED how wise, intellectual, philosophical, and insightful he was built to be. Also how pragmatic and cautious.
When everything happened what struck me wasn't the sadness. It was that a character I loved that much, that was supposed to be that old and experienced, had just behaved like a rash child.
After all his spite against other characters for lacking the strength to face consequences. After all his insight and wisdom and cleverness, he'd just played the part of someone who didn't know any better.
I understand all the nuances that were also conveyed that seemed true to the character, but that bit stuck out like a sore thumb. That he found someone so important to him, someone capable of facing anything with him, that he ran away because of his own unspoken goals?
The greatest tragedy of it, wasn't some star crossed thing due to myths and legends or his nature like it COULD have been (and hopefully will be in how they evolve it with DLC /fingers crossed/). The tragedy was because in that moment the character I loved died a little and looked very immature and nothing like who he is meant to be.
Awww...

How can you be opposite factions? Do you just fight each other constantly?
I'm an Orc, a proud Orc..

Gaming is what brought my fiance and I together. Yep we're one of those couples that met through WoW. We were friends and guildmates for 1-2 years before that romantic spark hit.
I have a lot more free time than he does. It's not because he doesn't like these games. It's just hard for him to be able to sit down and devote the time he'd like to, to them. MMOs and MP games are easier him. Plus he feels super guilty playing something that he can't also play with me if we both have free time. He'd rather play Diablo 3, WoW, SWTOR, Borderlands 2, FF14, and games like that because it's time we can spend together. And I can't deny him that.
I am gonna have to put my foot down and force him at some point! Either I spoil the story or you play it!
I guess you could say Solas swept me off my feet. Literally. More than I ever expected a video character could (and I've loved the heck out of Alistair and Garrus and Fenris and even Isabella tehe)....
Solas just...was more.
And then I remembered he wasn't. :{ I still can't bring myself to romance Cullen. Or even replay another game with something happy. :{
I almost just quit playing. But I didn't. Because, well. I needed to just see it through to the end in case a DLC ever addresses it.

It's so frustrating when people go nuts about spoilers when they're not even playing the game and likely never will! Over christmas I spoilered the hell out of my sister with DA:I after asking her if she'll ever play it (she got lost in The Fade in Origins and gave up), she didn't mind, at least she remembered who Flemeth was "Wait, isn't she Morrigans mum?", she doesn't mind spoilers though really, she's my only option for talking games with in person...
Edit: I say you force him, I told my sister that she can just cheat and skip the fade now if she wants, I just want her to finish and move on to the rest!
@lucinia - If Bioware keeps this up, It would help if you could weep into his arms and he KNEW why so he could console you. lol
Post what ever. Smut, smut art, spoilers.
Smut? Eggcellent.
*Blinks.* Oh, gods, I can't believe I just wrote that.
But yes I will tag it as such. Don't worry. 
I want to see a screenie :} am I allowed?
It's this one. I just came across it when going through the screenies of pt #3 Naiada Lavellan when I saw this and though: "well, ****. I can totally see Fen'Harel in him now."
But since I'm allowed to post screenies... here's another of my favourites, because I finally managed to get a ****** dance! Seriously, being rejected all night? I was starting to think Kani would never get to dance with him. Frustrations made all the more annoying by the fact that I am now no longer a competitive dancer and haven't had a ballroom fix in forever.
Also this: The Hand and The Look. Every time. I can't resist it.
Sorry that took so long. Photobucket was being stupid.
Thank you sososososososo much. I can't like this until tomorrow (because I've been cut off from liking things...I apparently like too many comments T.T), BUT, I can quote and thank you from the bottom of my heart
Is it alright if I share these links with the others I'm putting on my blog by mine? I want people to be able to find other stories for Solas all in one spot if they stumble on mine through google or something.
Feel free to link mine. I like love.

Oh I agree. I don't care for spoilers either, within reason. It's a point of contention. One of his sisters is as bad as he is about spoilers. Pick and choose your battles, right? I think if he wasn't such an incredible human being I would have been selfish and said eff it a long time ago and just spit it all out.

I wanted to romance Cullen at first, then Solas happened and now I cannot bring myself to romance anyone else. I was thinking about replaying some other game while waiting for the resolution, but... nope. I keep being dragged back into DAI because I MUST know how it'll end and I cannot concentrate on other games
