"Fine, Solas. You can end the world, but only once you explain why to THIS KITTEN while it plays with THESE BUTTONS next to THAT TRAY OF FRILLY CAKES."
I mean, I don't care how determined the guy is; who could resist that?
And then his spies pop up with MORE kittens and BETTER buttons and BIGGER frilly cakes! 
*Fades in.*
Keeper Deshanna is male, I think it was after one of the war table mission reports for the clan where it mentioned the keeper as a he. I can't remember which mission it was though, sadly.
*Fades out.*
Really!? I had Keeper Deshanna as my great aunt 0.0
And then his spies pop up with MORE kittens and BETTER buttons and BIGGER frilly cakes!
But then we go to Tevinter for SUPER CUTE MAGE KITTENS and GIGANTIC FRILLY CAKES.

So in the end this whole thing turns into a baking show? 
Calling it now: AU in which Lavellan is part of a baking show and Solas is one of the judges.
But no one knows that he is the Bread Wolf, known to write devastating articles about bakeries!
According to the wikia it looks like the Keeper is female.
http://dragonage.wik...i/Lavellan_clan
Sometime following 9:40 Dragon the clan's female Keeper observed that a Chantry conclave, seeking to put an end to the Mage-Templar War, would impact not just the future of the Dalish, but of all elves. To this end she resolved to spy on the event, sending either her First, or a hunter

I see it more as a nuclear arms race but with cake instead.
You should totally write that fic. I want to read it!

B-but I'm already writing a fic about Lavellan accepting a political marriage!
I could make it into a small series of one-shots, though. 
Well, not that I'd ever ship them, ever, but my Lavellan and Dorian would make adorable children. I'm just sayin'
They don't need to be married for that. If Dorian ever needs someone to surrogate, my Lavellan would happily offer. They might need to bring Bull along, though, as a fluffer.
They said the world was over. They said there was no hope. They were wrong.

Oh, you're writing it... I apologize 
I haven't really caught up with the thread, but I miss talking to you guys in real time too much to go back to old pages.

A reminder that the Dread Wolf, Fen'Harel
Spoileronce considered the most important question he could ask Bull was 'how do qunari get shirts over their horns?'
Well, you know, Solas seems very fond of his pullover tunic sweater, perhaps he thought everyone deserved to be able to wear one. 
I love how sometimes he sucks at magic. Stuff like putting his coat-tails on fire.
I read a fic recently (I think this was recced upthread, it starts w/ Dorian/Bull having sex, btw) where Dorian and Bull were suspicious of him and speculated that he was faking at not being as good at magic as he is, so all the stuff he wasn't supposed to be able to do didn't blow his cover.

Aww, don't worry about it! I could definitely turn it into a lengthy one-shot, if only for a "Bread Wolf bake you!" phrase.
Ah, no link as of now. I am writing as we type. Not sure if I should go for a political marriage between Varric or Sebastian and Lavellan yet. Depends on how lighthearted the first few chapters turn out to be, I guess. Either way, this story will still be Solavellan, but with the twist of the whole shenanigans of making an arranged marriage work, basically. I like the appeal of Varric and Lavellan being best buddies, but I also like the drama of an heir that could more easily be made into a real 'treath' with a Sebastian marriage. =)

I don't see Dorian with kids myself XD I think I can see Vivienne as a mother before I see Dorian as a father.
Also, I don't think my Lavellan could do it, regardless of Solas. Especially with Bull there X)

I can see Dorian as the awkward uncle that gives his niece a very expensive gift and then just stands there, not knowing what to do with a child.

Bread Wolf Bake You is already a fic but I can't read that phrase enough, so I say yeah!

FITE! FITE! FITE!
(mostly for the shade Varric would throw. The glorious shade)
I don't see Dorian with kids myself XD I think I can see Vivienne as a mother before I see Dorian as a father.
Really? I could never see Vivienne as a parent, but I think Dorian would be a decent father once he realized that his relationship with his children does NOT have to be a reaction to his parents' relationship with him.
I'm on team Varric
Bread Wolf Bake You is already a fic but I can't read that phrase enough, so I say yeah!
Really, it is? Huh! Well then, Solas with baked goodies must be popular. Must be because of dem buns, pfft.
Most people seem to like the Varric idea, haha. It would definitely be fun to write!
Bought and beat Trespasser in less than 4 hours last night! It was fun! I rushed through it and plan a perfect run when I have more time, but it was quite the eye-opener!
Spoiler
My Lavellan would probably plot to kill Gaspard from the shadows anyway. And Teagan is just...a big nope as well. xD
Varric would be fun if I were to go for something more lighthearted. They could still be the best of buds, just with a ring on their fingers for the political gains. It would help Kirkwall most likely, but I doubt that she would have a lot of influence over changing the lives of the elves for the better.
Alistair would be REALLY fun. Complicated, but fun. (Against my canon worldstate, but really freaking cool.) I could write about a lot of things and it would put her into a position where she could do good for the elves and search for Solas on a much larger scale. Sebastian would most likely push her even more into the role of the Herald of Andraste. Gosh I have no idea.
This is actually an excellent plot idea, with Gaspard, you know. Lavellan agrees to marry Gaspard for political reasons. Then she conspires to kill him, thereby becoming Empress of Orlais upon his death. But Gaspard is wily so it wouldn't be easy...
I can see it now. Lavellan: "If Andraste did not bear any children, then neither will I!"
Andraste did have children. It's just that at first because of her apparently frail/weak form, she wasn't believed capable of bearing them and surviving. Don't remember how many of them were actually hers.
I would love a Dorian/Lavellan political marriage. Dorian may need someone for appearances (Even though she's an elf.. )and on Lavellan's end it could be for peace between nations? I don't know much about politics or how much political clout Dorian (or even the Inky) actually has, but he's the best buddy Vint!
Do share! ^
I think this idea's been done before with Dorian/Lady Inquisitor. Considering political marriages for appearances are one thing he stands against, though, it just kind of doesn't fit him? You'd need a super good reason for him to do that, rather than refuse on the grounds that he's not into women and he's not going to pretend to be someone or something he isn't for the sake of politics.
Hmmm, if Lavellen is just a Free Marches Comtess, with no other ties, I can imagine the best political marriage ever - endless games of wicked grace, cheap booze in the Hanged Man, the occasional argument about who will pickup the kids from Daisy the babysitter, 100% not awkward.
If Lavellen's clan is power in Wycome, perhaps they'd want an heir - it'd be a shrewd politicalmove to capitalise on Lavellen's reputation, and might get complicated then. Although I'd hope after years of travelling the Dalish are probably not going to be too into nobility - I imagine they'd run the city through the council and make noble voices ineffective if they could, because they have a limited legal status and if they hadn't freed Wycome of red lytium, they'd lack a mandate to be in power.
June is the best pantheon elf, even in cat form
Well, if Clan Lavellan wants an heir, they're going to probably want that heir to be elven. I can't think of any other high ranking elves, unless it's maybe someone from the College of Enchanters (pretty sure you don't want the Circle of Magi involved, especially if you are a mage).
On the other hand...
Dear Abelas,
I hope this missive finds you well.
It seems I have recently come into possession of landholdings and a noble title in the city of Kirkwall. Seeing as you are a leader among your people, and I am a leader among mine, it stands to reason that there would be much to gain politically and socially from a contractual agreement. Would it be too crass of me to raise the topic of a potential marriage between us, uniting my people with yours?
Your standing and mine are more or less equal at this juncture. Since the Inquisition has disbanded, my forces have become much smaller. Yours were never particularly massive. Should we unite in marriage, we would both gain in martial strength as well as political. Elves would stand to benefit--alas, perhaps not in the way that you would prefer, but a place would be made for your people without the usual scorn and dismissal that my people suffer, while my people could finally begin to live away from the shadow of that scorn.
This is a chance for both of us, and I do hope you will consider it with sincerity.
Mythal enansal,
Former Inquisitor Lavellan
(Abelas would probably burn that letter...)
.... LOL, can you imagine Inquisitor convincing Solas to abandon his plans to restore elvhen people by presenting him the frilliest of frilly cakes?
Inquisitor: ".... How can you sacrifice such goodness!?" (holds a shiny, frilly cake in both hands and does puppy eyes)
solas: "You.... You convinced me! Damn the elves. Our cakes sucked anyway!"
It would mean so much more to him if the (romanced) Inquisitor were to leap out of the frilly cake.
Also, regarding a political marriage with Varric:
It's possible Varric might agree to it if he were feeling similar pressure to produce an heir. But, if Lavellan is the Keeper's First, you'd probably be expected to have little elven babies--which you won't get with a dwarf, although if the theories and hints about Sandal and his origin are true, you might end up with a dwarven mage. I'm pretty sure dwarf/anything hybrids are pretty rare in Thedas. Not very fertile if not with other dwarves, maybe? Whereas according to the Orlesians at least, elves breed very quickly within their own species.
Much as Varric will always prefer and love Bianca, though, and since he says he's only into dwarves, I just can't see him even trying to produce an heir unless it's a Cadash he's trying with. I guess he could claim he tried and it just didn't happen. He does enjoy spinning tales. It's pretty sad he's always going to be hung up on Bianca when he can't really truly be with her... but I suppose the same may end up being said of Lavellan in the end, too.

I discovered this a few days ago, well written, I like it, the beginning part is very smutty. And I say this as a lover of smut.

I like your profile picture by the way!
