What was the food cart vedor AU and why don't I remember it?
What was the food cart vedor AU and why don't I remember it?
I was thinking the same thing.
I vaguely remember something about Solas going off to start some hippie commune, having a falling out with Abelas, and selling him chickens in the end, but I don't remember if that was Kissiebear or someone else.
The food cart thing might have been before my time though.

I'm pretty sure that originated with me.* But I didn't write the AU. Now I come to think on it - that sounds like the thing.
*mostly because a lot of Abelas mocking did
Hee hee! Thank you!

@Epler. He's so traumatized by Patrick he has to write fix-it fic.
Good morning blanketfort! I'm actually awake at 8 a.m, what is this? Why is the sun coming through the window? And it's warm!

Oh also, Cee I dreamt I was talking to you on the phone and we mentioned people dyeing their hair. MidnightTea got a mention

What, no discussion of goats and people smoking in art? ![]()

I know.. I thought goats would've come up! I asked you about some clothes you'd bought from Bioware. And then I was like, wait doesn't it cost heaps to be calling New Zealand? Then you ended up saying you had to go when your BF got home? But I could still hear you and he was singing something
.
My dreams are weird.. yeah.

I seem to be fighting the flu at the moment and was totally, entirely sure I read all of this wrong in my muddled state. Not sure if I am relieved or even more horrified that I didn't.

I had to bring the food cart AU back. Here you go, the whole post exchange in its entirety to the best of my ability.
Enjoy it, because I sacrificed every last bit of cheeriness while looking for this. I ran into a very sad discussion of how Solas chickens out of telling you the truth at Crestwood, and now I'm even deeper in the feels corner.
Both of you are right. Solas does need the orb. To seal the breach. But like...this isn't 'whoops I lost the car keys'. This is 'whoops I lost the magical elven artifact and we need it back. and by the way I kind of started it'. So knowing that is sort of important because...why did he have the powerful orb to begin with? you have no back story Solas? etc. etc.(stuff we've gone over)
The Inquisitor does recognize the weirdness too late and it's not like he's not going to do something big. he didn't leave the inquisition to start "THE FADE EGG AND THE FRILLY CAKE: ARTISNAL PATISSERIE" he's going to do something major. so knowing why he had the orb to begin with may have clued the inquisitor in. He is hiding things from you and I felt he was shady REALLY REALLY early on. But like...who cares. He's smart, nice, and helpful. I'll take it! I don't think we need to excuse it. for some players - obviously none on here - actually really thought that was a big deal. they hate the guy. you've seen it. I don't care. the more screwed up the better! let's recruit the dead magisters!
LOL, this might actually be his plan. For all we know, he absorbed Flemythal for her secret frosting recipe.
I want this bakery in Val Royeaux! Right. This. Second.
Maybe the DLC will prove you wrong.
If you spared the Sentinals then Abelas will be co-owner and the business is doing well. If you didn't spare the Sentinals then he'll be having some financial trouble and has had to hire Tal Vashoth bakers.
Whoever drank from the Well is commanded to work as the server. In a French maid outfit.
Bread Wolf DLC
@Illyria - he should know better than to go into business with friends. the business seems ok with abelas, but then both are arguing whether or not to add a savory foods café. solas says "NO! STAY TRUE TO THE SWEET TOOH! ONLY CAKES". Abelas is like, 'look bro, we need more customers. we're on an side street, we don't get enough foot traffic. we need to get a chef in here and start a full menu."
then it goes straight to hell. the business closes. their reputations as restauranteurs RUINED. they WILL NEVER WORK IN VAL ROYEAUX AGAIN! abelas leaves to start a free range chicken farm in fereldan and takes on 6 wives like some weird hippie cult leader. and solas sells donuts out of a food cart that travels around denerim.
i thought you were gunna end it with Hobo Solas. Disappoint.
I think the business failed, because he refused to sell tea along with the cakes.
Food cart AU part 2
No tea??? This is an OUTRAGE!
So the paragon descion turns out to the bad choice in the long run, then? Mass Effect's team should hire you.
He's not a hobo. Man has a job.
Customer: Excuse me, can I get some tea with this?
Solas: Get. Out.
@Illyria - Hey no - who said Solas isn't happier selling donuts out of cart. Wearing his Viva La Revolucion t-shirt with a picture of the dread wolf on it(META). And his hemp bracelet. He gets off work at 3. Sets his own hours. He goes home, can get stoned, take a nap, and still have time to meet everyone at the dive bar later. HIPSTER!Solas!!
Also, Abelas is really happy with his Family. Peace, love, and life man.
PARAGON ENDING!
But does the friendship between Abelas and Solas ever get repaired?
(and I didn't mean 'the paragon descion turns out to the bad choice in the long run' as a bad thing. I get quite annoyed with how the paragon descions turn out to the best the best choices 99% of the time. I'd love to see a few more end up backfiring horribly. Road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that).
@Illyria - It does. In time. Many many years later. Abelas - who has been stricken by the disease of mortality - goes to Denerim to drop off some meat at the market. Most of his wives have left him, except his first one. She too is old and grey.
Abelas spots an elderly Solas - who is also aging - and moves as if he was going to greet him but stops himself. Solas is not so hesitant. He walks over to his old friend and says 'hi'. Greets Abelas' partner. Buys a chicken. A knowing look passes between the old friends. Both realizing that the small spat can never erase the greater truth that connects them - that they are the last of the Elvhenan. Bound together by the tragedy of their lost culture and the responsibility they have to future of all races of Thedas. They nod.
Abelas pulls away. A single tear rolling down his wrinkled cheek and he motions to his partner that they have to go. Solas turns away and hobbles back to his cart.
Fin.
This is moving and I am moved.
*sheds a single tear*
Where is this DLC and when do I buy it!?
This food cart AU stuff might be some of the most glorious stuff I have ever read.
It took a turn for the emotionnal at the very end there ![]()

This was before Tresspasser, before it was even announced.
*Sheds a tear on top of a single white flower. Crushes flower in hand. Its juices mix with the tear and flow out of hands to symbolize the bleeding of lost innocence.*

It cracks me up that I know of several restaurant/bakery Solavellan AUs and they're all actually pretty good.

Heh, the only three fics I follow are two about bakery fics (Bread Wolf and Doughnut Rebel) and one I can only mention on the smut thread ![]()
Edit: TOP Solas. Have some balcony Solas. http://bithedreadwolf.tumblr.com/

Remember the days when he was just the sexy apostate that we were all interested in?
It's been nearly a year since BW took our dreams of dates in the Crossroad and a happy life with our nerd eggfriend and crushed them to dust.

It is a thing of pure beauty.
It's not the ending we deserve, but the ending we need.
