Together, we shall endure.
The hardest part for me has been trying to figure out realistic timing for my character.
I mean, realistic timing for Zevran is like, the first week of knowing someone hot. Hell, first night works out well for him I think.
That doesn't help.

Though Zevran is understanding and if she's still somewhat processing Solas feelings (positive or negative, mixed - all realistic) then I think he'd get it. But while he would, remember that Zevran wants a deep connection so that would affect his behavior too if he sees potential otherwise.

Realistic timing for Sophia is whenever. Realistic timing for Solas is in 5000 years, if he's feeling adventurous
By the way, does anyone else ever get the problem when they release fiction, they just keep refreshing the page in the hope the hits will go up? I'm too braindead after hours of cleaning the house and editing fiction to do anything else. It's really pathetic
I've never done anything like that. Nope. 
Really? How interesting. I've always tried to make peace with them. Elder Pavus (good term, easier than continually saying Dorian's father) seemed to realise that he'd gone too far and both he and Dorian were hurting. It just seemed that trying to reconcile them would put Dorian's mind more at ease than just leaving without even talking about the problem.
I always have them make up too.
Maybe it's my own experience coloring my perceptions, but Halward Pavus reads as someone who genuinely does love his son. He got caught up in a society where "doing a blood magic ritual to change my son's sexuality" seemed like something that might make his son happier in the long run. The last resort of good men. That was wrong, of course, but I think he had good intentions behind his bad actions.
Once he realized he'd screwed up, he tried to seek forgiveness. He fumbled a little on how to ask forgiveness, fell into the old pattern of arguing at first. He argues because he's scared that the magisterium will tear his son apart (in Trespasser, he arranges for Dorian to be out of Tevinter when things get hot), the way my Evangelical parents argued because they were scared I'd go to Hell. But goddamn it, Halward is trying to understand, and that's something.
Making up with parents isn't for everyone, and people should do what's best for them, in these kinds of situations. I have Dorian talk to Halward for my own sake.
Honestly, this fandom has done marvels for my creativity. Haven't written this much in years. There's life drawing classes at my university which are only £2 a session, and I'm probably going to start attending those too. I was pretty good at art at school - not brilliant, but I could have been ok if I'd actually put some effort into it - but never really pursued it much beyond sketches of still life drawings and some really bad anime drawings. I stumbled through my GCSE Art with literally the bare minimum effort, it was really sad. But I finally have a motivation to draw again, and it's pretty awesome.

I haven't written fiction in a few years and thought I somehow forgot how, but it really is inspiring. It's making me think I even have a chance doing NaNoWriMo this year, though that would be an original idea that has developed in my head over a few years.

These things have also been considered and part of the whole "When would they really?" question.
Cause I've sat around and thought up like 4-5 different possible scenarios.
The struggle is real.
And believe it or not I even thought up some interesting plot stuff to be going on.

People really do sometimes act with good, but misguided intentions. I have them talk because, as you say, there's clearly caring there, there's hurt love and broken trust, but Halward came a long way and is making a big effort. He clearly cares and has regrets.
I never would've guessed that so many people left with Dorian without trying to resolve anything, but maybe, again, in some cases, that may not be looking at the full scope of it.

I believe you on the plot. You've been creative with it so far. 
I have plot ideas for three different timelines and that's messing me up, I think.
Maybe I should just set them all aside and import my Leliana/Cousland letters into Quoll and make outlines for the rest of that one. I feel bad not having continued that since I had a plan in place, and I started writing that in response to a panel that was talking about a lack of F/F pairings in fanfiction, especially happy ones, and then I kind of dropped the ball on my plan.
For those that play Elder Scrolls Online:
I finally got it again, had to redownload the entire thing 
.
Anyhow, I'm Night-Rain if anyone wants to add me!
I tried adding EggCrusher and Midnight tea but it said account not found. Hmm..
Edit: Oh, it's because I didn't add the @.
Does anybody think Solas had agents working for him even during his time in the inquisition, and are there any events people think he might have influenced other than the orb thing. I mean, I just answered my question about him having agents by referencing Cory finding the orb, but I'm still curious. There is so much we had to deal with in the game and it seems inconceivable that he would have so many agents that weren't also working away to help us or manipulate things.
Yeah he doubtless had agents even during his time in the Inquisition, including his own spies within it as well. I don't have specifics regarding events at the moment tho sorry.
I think Charter is his though, for one thing.
You totally should. And who knows, maybe working on something different for a minute will give your juices what they need to sort out the other stuff you are working on.I believe you on the plot. You've been creative with it so far.

I just imported them into Quoll and I just might plan these out. They're brief, since the entire thing is basically letters that can go back and forth during the events of DAI, and now, through Trespasser. And since that timeline is finite, it was always intended to be limited anyway.

yaaay 
I'm busy right now, but I'm always free on Fridays and Saturdays!!
I'll go online really quick to add you

I try really hard not to, but um...I wish I could say I was above that
I made some attempts before at writing Sims legacy challenge styled stories, never could get past the first Gen with the stories. I'd get too far ahead in the game and forget to make notes of major events and then just give up. I had one that I would have liked to continue, but Sims 4 just got too mundane for me after 6 months. With this I've been writing different character ideas and stories because I simple 'had to' I've never had the 'need to' write hit me as hard with this. It started with Awakening. Even though my Cousland romance Alistair and was queen I had to write a scene between her and Nathaniel from before origins. That was what started me on my fanfic writing.

Looking forward to them.
Edit: Have more AU Solas. What's with AU Solas on Tumblr these days, is there some kind of event? http://pinacoladamatata.tumblr.com/

Fadebutts are very important to the future of Thedas.
I was wondering when the conversation would turn back to those.
I'm not using my own Warden for that one, but a warrior, and I like the Trespasser slides for a Leliana-Warden romance where they have get aways to her childhood cottage so that may have to happen. We'll see.
I'm going for something sweet here. That was my original goal, given the initial catalyst for even starting.
I never would've guessed that so many people left with Dorian without trying to resolve anything, but maybe, again, in some cases, that may not be looking at the full scope of it.
To be fair, it's really uncomfortable to think about good people doing bad things.
There are days when I indulge myself. Just let myself hate the people who stir up hate against various groups, without putting myself in their shoes. But the trouble is, I've been on the other side. I've felt the conviction, the certainty. I know that many of them (many more than we'd like to believe) are acting out of totally pure intentions. Their intentions got perverted by a belief system that told them "you have to show tough love to these people, because they're on a path to their own destruction." They're sincerely trying to help, but they learned the wrong way to try to help.
And that's absolutely a scary thought. Because it means I could do bad things without realizing it. More than that, I know I'm capable of doing bad things out of ignorance - I lived that life, and pushed those same harmful views, for almost 20 years.
Well, these were the first three I posted: http://archiveofouro...g/works/3997132
I actually thought there were only two.
Now my next step is just getting the timeline and then branching from there. Just got some inspiration in the shower (which was much better than yesterday's ) so yay, inspiration and ideas.
We are?
I'm just catching up on stuff. (Just moved into the new apartment and finally got my internets back today!) I wanted to say how much I love Arsenic and Old Lace. 
My sister and I always used to watch old movies together. ♥ Cary Grant.
(And I also missed you guys a bunch! Back to the fade butts and slow arrows and awesome AUs and such. 
) *travels back to 50 pages ago*
Edit: Oh. when I booted my laptop up, my fiance was like "Gonna go catch up with your Solas thread, huh?" ...I am compromised! The secret's out! 
Edit again: Sable! That Shakespeare date AU is adorable! >w< So fluffy~ ♥ Loving it!
You're a professional artist, if I recall correctly?
Why is there a like limit? This made me laugh .
