Or if the scene we get didn't come bundled together with its second half. Emotional impact is greater with things the way they are, but ughhhh, still.
Yes! I think if the vallaslin scene ended with them kissing... then we had the heartbreak later, after Corypheus maybe... it would've felt like there was ugh more, I guess. Still, I get why Weekes had Solas do the thing when he did :/ I still want my Kiss Solas Anytime option like ALL THE OTHER ROMANCES.
I felt like an evil person just thinking about those things with regards to your story. Like I feel killing off the clan would put her in a weird spot given the circumstances but work for a story like yours too, given the hints at her feelings of not belonging/feeling expendable etc. Being the only one left all of a sudden....dramatic fuel.
And the breakup.....I just started (as in one paragraph) something from Solas' POV post-breakup where my Lavellan is giving him new armor, based on me actually making him new armor and always making sure he's fully taken care of. So that is my mood at the moment.
I actually didn't contemplate her clan at all, so thanks for reminding me! Seriously. I probably will kill them, because it makes for more interesting character development, but I guess I could still swing either way.
YES MOAR POEMS, poems all the time, moar. MTC get in here.
Rigid bone within
my grasp. It feels nice and smooth.
Pretty necklace, too.

Oh look, the bat signal! (of poetry?)
This might be the time to unload the entire 8-stanza Saga (of Solas Bright-Ex) on you guys.
It's long. And sadly not even a little bit lewd. Anybody who actually makes it through some or all of it (you're a hero, if you do) should feel free to point out any lore blips. Like, I'm thinking that one foci should be a focus? I'm trying to remember if anyone ever refers to the orb by itself, or any single orb, as a "foci". Still needs a touch of editing, etc. etc.
@MTC
Magnifique! Bravissima! Holy cow, you win all the poetry ever.

This was amazing. Well done.
That Snow White gif... I can't stop staring at it...it's... mesmerizing. 
Blah blah chapter four blah blah.
I think this can kind of stand on its own, so if you're into Solas painting Lavellan's face, at least one paragraph of this will be your thing.
I just want to say, I've really been enjoying your story. And I love the cormorant.
Also, Edit: Thanks guuuuuuuys! Everyone's a winner, and now we eat cake!

Thank you. 
I love cormorants. They are such great birds. I'm not quite sure what Solas is trying to say about the Inquisitor though.
Thank you.

Had to look them up to be sure and now Wikipedia tells me birds in the same family are also known as "shags", which come in several very dirty-sounding variants:
http://en.wikipedia....ough-faced_shag
http://en.wikipedia..../Blue-eyed_shag
etc
If you plan to get smutty..... 
It's official, I am ruined.

ahaha. I can neither confirm nor deny future smut. Mostly because I don't know. "I don't know" seems to be my answer to just about everything this evening.
Have a picture of Maiwe to tide you over because I don't really know what I'm doing next. I think I'll probably just write some little separate fluffy side piece while I contemplate where I want the plot to move.

Ha, that was just me totally procrastinating and amusing myself at the double entendres. I should hop in the shower and then get some more of the DLC played tonight before I have work and then go visit my mother for the weekend. Also, "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable, (and sometimes the only) answer.
Do you make your characters look like you or do you just create them based on other things? Neither of my Lavellans look anything like me. My canon has auburn-ish hair and lavender eyes.
Eh, she only looks like me in so far as she has blonde hair and blue eyes. She's way more attractive than I am haha. I sort of went with the appearance because my parents were over the shoulder directing me how to make her look because they got super sucked into watching me mess around with the character creator for some reason. And I was like "Eh, this'll work fine for her."
The Inquisitor I'm actually playing through right now is sort of that half shaved head silver hair that's so popular. I mean, I get why. It's super aesthetically pleasing.
I did make one who looked quite a bit like me, but it was actually kind of uncomfortable to watch for extended periods of time. It enters uncanny valley territory really quickly. I still have the save file for posterity, but it's otherwise pretty creepy.

The only time I have ever made a character that looked a lot like me was for The Sims 4. And she really does. And I never bought the game, though I sent the file to my boyfriend and he had Sim us as a couple. I don't really like the shaved or half shaved styles. Hair mods would be what I would treasure if the mods in this game weren't so annoying.
I'm a dark brunette, and dyed hair in real life for dark haired people is a pain in the ass and requires a lot of expensive upkeep, so I often give my characters wild, unnatural red hair or purple hair in games.
My Lavellan was supposed to have dark brown hair to contrast the lavender eyes but due to the character creator, she wound up with that auburnish hue and it grew on me a lot.
what could the improved keep mean? more DLC inc soon? :3
Response to an insane amount of complaining. I think that's all. The Keep wouldn't be used for DAI DLC since you'd be playing off a save.

Ugh, I would love hair mods. I originally wanted to give her one long braid, but that isn't an option. Of course it's not. It's like the ridiculously fancy braided bun or bust, apparently.
Incidentally, I'm teetering on that edge of being bored and feeling as if I should go to sleep, so I guess I'll just plot out future Solas fics? I want to write something that's not quite as fluffy as my previous one shots have been, but nothing is really coming to mind. I think I'm internally conserving all that angst for the inevitable downward trajectory of Maiwe and Solas. Whoops.
I only ever get ideas for really, really brief snapshots. Though I've been working on a longer fic that it kind of a longer snapshot but also takes me forever because I just keep picking at it and self-editing instead of mass type-blurting it all out onto the page and organizing it later. The one that I allowed myself to post over on AO3 was because I wanted to stop editing it incessantly already.

This is frigging amazing. Very well done. Teach me your ways, hahren.
Solas just looks so nice in Silk Brocade. That blue.
Also, DLC thing:
Kind of loving all the Avvar lore stuff and getting my lore brain to think beyond and connect stuff.
Blah blah chapter four blah blah.

Kestrel how do you pronounce Maiwe's name? Really enjoying your story's progression so far. 
First off, Happy Birthday to Sable and Siha *throws confetti*
Also, love all the poems and haiku. xD
And so, here's another art post. 
Solavellan:
Some Solas artworks:
Poor Inquisitor Adaar cannot trigger Solas' personal quest. x'D
Nice sketches
EDIT: What the heck? Top again?! xD
http://in-another-wo...5168/i-love-him
Inadvertent top Solas. Has that ever happened before, Capricorn? xD
Capricorn I've started playing Hatoful Boyfriend. *_* Pigeon boyfriends. I never thought I'd be able to have one, virtual or otherwise. (Thank christ it's only virtual, or I'd be sincerely concerned with the state of the world. You know, beyond my existing concerns, which are plentiful enough.)
And just so this isn't wildly off topic: if Solas were in a bird dating sim he'd be a... hmm... an owl, perhaps? But what kind of owl. Or maybe he'd be a crane or something. What's the most placid looking, secretly deadly bird? Aaand I literally just googled "unassuming birds that are badass".
These are life's important questions.
Edit: Ooh! Maybe he'd be a jackdaw! Might only be saying that 'cuz I love jackdaws, though.
I dig barn owls. I don't know if Solas actually fits as one, but I'd date a barn owl. It has no "ear" feathers, so it's kind of like a bald owl, right?

Hee hee! I hope you're enjoying the game. xD I love all the characters there.
As for what Solas would be if he were in a bird dating sim? Hmm... how about a crow? I was googling some characteristics of crows and some of their characteristics sounds fitting for our favorite elven apostate:
Throughout history, the crow has been associated with both positive and negative symbolic meanings. The most common are:
- Life magic; mystery of creation
- Destiny, personal transformation, alchemy
- Intelligence
- Higher perspective
- Being fearless, audacious
- Flexibility, adaptability
- Trickster, manipulative, mischevious

You know, I was going to say barn owls, because I love them so much. On a related note, I went to this owl conservation centre a while back, and there was a flight demonstration, and this barn owl named Lofty flew just over my head and smacked me in the face with his wing. Best day ever.
And to add to their cool factor, the barn owl's ears are actually positioned at different heights and angles rather than being perfectly symmetrical. And Solas looks like he could maybe be developing those weird old man ears that end up all askew, so. More points for the Solas-is-a-barn-owl column.
