Me, first DAI night: 'INDOMITABLE FOCUS'????!!!!? Weren't you supposed to be an awkward, shy and blushing fade nerd??? I'M the blushing nerd right now!!!
I also blushed. And then I had to suppress a giggle when Cole said Lavellan should ask Solas to bind her.
He wasn't going to tell her about the vallaslin (at that moment, anyway). He was planning on telling her the big truth before he chickened out. The vallaslin thing was staring at him right in the face, so that's what he said instead. He did indeed have to say something -- not at all what he intended!
That's a good point, ChuChu! I've mulled over this conversation quite a bit myself and hadn't entirely been sure 
I also blushed. And then I had to suppress a giggle when Cole said Lavellan should ask Solas to bind her.
My reaction to that was torn between 'awww, it's sweet that Cole cares about her so much' and 'oh my sweet precious child you have no idea what you just said.'
It was fen'halarious.
Because I'm procrastinating:
Solas & Mithra - I wish it was another
*creates female Dalish mage*
Me: There, I'm pretty sure I can romance just about anyone I would like.
*proceeds to walk around Haven to talk with companions*
*talks to Cullen*
Me:...cute but.....I'm a mage......Templar......could be a problem.
*peaks around corner at Iron Bull*
Me: No. Scary.
*talks to Sera*
Me: Not digging being an elf. No thank you.
*talks to Blackwall*
Me. Sigh....he's going to get the Calling or some nonsense.
*talks to Solas*
Me: Ooooo....this guy is cool. Mage.....elf.....likes talking about elves and magic......the voice...I could listen to it all day.....
Solas:....your indomitable focus is an enjoyable side benefit.
Me: *double take* Wait, did he just hit on me? *hits flirt option* Indomitable focus?
Solas: Presumably, yes. I have yet to see it dominated. I imagine the sight would be.....fascinating.
Me:*swoon* Oh boy...I"m in trouble.
"Fen'Halarious".
*gigglesnort*
I'm teetering on the edge of writing a DA:I fanfic with my Surana Warden, where she becomes the quizzy and works through most of the campaign. Since she knows half the cast already and has the benefit of being a) a former circle mage, 
a former warden, c) an iconic figure in Ferelden, and d) elven (and fairly invested in elven lore/history, primarily because she's a mage), pretty much all the main quests and choices are really ****** personal for her.
The big question: romance Cullen or Solas?
I can't tell if I want to go for something cute and sweet and fulfilling by pursuing her old flame, Cullen, or go for ULTIMATE TRAGEDY by having a mortal warden who's within a few years of her calling probs (they tend to occur sooner for Wardens who were initiated during Blights) fall for a almost-immortal elf from the time of the ancient empire.
Alternatively, third wildcard option: Leliana.

Bolded for emphasis. ;P
The binding and the indomitable focus: I think the best part is -- the writer's put it in, so they're the ones making it a thing -- they're encouraging it!

Solas or Leliana.
And ChuChu and I are making fen'halarious happen.
Well it could work as an AU, since Cassandra and Leliana did try to find the Warden first. But there's that little problem of Corypheus being able to take over blighted bodies. 
Though you remind me I might try to add to the mini Warden/Leliana DAI through letters fic I recently started.
edit: the quote went missing.

Well the whole Iron Bull romance and all.

Haha, yes.
It must be said, though. As amazing as IB is, he ain't no Elven God -wink-
ALSO
Vivienne is one of the few perceptive ones in my party, I swear.
In fairness, I imagine Solavellen to be a very discrete relationship - I imagine they'd try and keep it relatively quiet, because I think the Inquisitor dating the dodgy elven apostate may arouse suspicion that her motivations aren't purely pro-chantry (really, you think so).

"You're well in it, aren't you? I bet he calls out 'ELVEN GLORY' when he does it"
Viv isn't the only one to notice!

On the topic of Iron Bull, bind and all that.....Iron Bull figures out a watchword for everyone but Solas right?
>_>
Caution: Mild Witcher 3: Wild Hunt spoilers.
Would it make you feel better to know that I'm romancing Triss my first (non-scrapped
) playthrough in your honor?
(It has nothing to do with how I realized that, once I'd fully romanced Yen, I'd never be able to not romance her.
But Triss is awesome, too. But if the opening scene added Yen yelling puns down at Geralt from the balcony, you have my SO and me as sorceress and Witcher, respectively.
)
But yeah, the wait is quite long. I'm hoping for something really splendid to sink my teeth into.
Like, say, Jaws of Haakon, freaking finally, tomorrow.
I'm all set for a Triss romance, too. Of course, now I arrived in Skellige and... They make it waaay too easy to jump both ways.
Ack, that may be a problem.
Although I thought it was the Nightmare causing the false calling, not Corypheus?
And I assume it might be different for Wardens given that they're not fully blighted (yet) like ghouls or darkspawn. I don't recall Corypheus directly taking over any warden's mind asides from (indirectly) initiating the false calling. I just played through Here Lies the Abyss today, so this is fairly fresh in my mind, correct me if I'm wrong though.
He was killed three times (that we saw) and jumped into a nearby blighted body. First with Larius/Jenka, second when the Temple of Sacred Ashes exploded and the third time when he was killed by the Temple of Mythal's defenses.
Fun fact: I'm actually writing a bad future fanfic where my Surana arrives to save the day and is taken over by Cory after she kills him. It's super depressing.

Also, Cullen and Sera (at least) both have lines if you try to flirt with them while involved with Solas.
So....people know, to varying degrees.
Also, Cullen and Sera both have lines if you try to flirt with them while involved with Solas.
I took the Cullen flirt about wanting to spend time with him because it seemed like a friendly thing to say but then he made me feel guilty by dropping the 'wouldn't you prefer Solas' company?' line on me.
I do love Sera's line there though. It's so Sera.
On the topic of Iron Bull, bind and all that.....Iron Bull figures out a watchword for everyone but Solas right?
>_>
I continue to be surprised that no one has asked Weekes if that was an oversight or if Bull just didn't think Solas was the type to do anything, let alone get tied up. I really wonder what his word would have been.

Clearly, someone has to do this now.

I'll wait here with an amused look on my face. Go, someone, go!
If I hadn't just listed all my social media accounts on a job application....
