*points to above* I'm kind of wanting to write one myself... But I'm so horrible with fanfiction and actually finishing... Maybe a oneshot...

You are a saint for sharing this! I loooove it and highly recommend it to everyone. I can't wait to see where it goes, just what I needed to feel better. If you write a oneshot I will read it, maybe even write one myself.

[Miss This or That]

...I thought writing fanfiction would cheer me up about the whole sad stuff about Solas, but I just compared the salty remains of tears on skin to fallen empires - I doubt this Oneshot will turn out happy, then. Ugh. Apparently I can only write with a bottle of fantears ready to be used as ink.
 
This is what I have so far, if anyone is curious. Please keep in mind that english isn't my native language and I'm only 18, haha. =)

As real as reality had felt, it was now nothing more but a fleeting thought, thrown away by cold hands that tried so hard not to grasp onto the last straw of hope. Lost through the words spoken by a voice that was a mere memory, embedded in nothing more but half dried tears. Was it worth it in the end? She wondered endlessly, even in her dreams, in these false worlds of graceful happiness and wonderful temptation. Wondered if there was a way to know why it was the only possible solution to a problem that she couldn’t even understand in the first place. But sometimes she could see his fleeting form, standing at the edge of a glistening lake, waiting for her to return to him. One step forward and he was gone again, gone just like the water, gone like the spiritual atmosphere and replaced by a stinging pain instead.
 
The cold nights hadn’t been kind on her trembling body, numbing her skin even more and turning it into an empty shell that she found impossible to fit into. She often cried in her slumber and today was no different, but the tears were far from being fresh. They had left salty ruins on her skin, fallen empires made out of sorrow itself.

This is what I posted in the spoiler thread...so yeah, I am indeed writing something.

Awww, Miss This or That, that's really good! My heart huuuuurts.

On another note, am I the only one who noticed in the Iron Bull romance

Spoiler

When they're discussing what everybody's safeword would be, Solas is the only one not mentioned? What's up with that?!

Do they think he can't get kinky or what? I guess no one told them about the Fade tongue lol.

When I was playing the first time, that fade-tongue comment nearly made me do a spit take. Soooo funny

Spoiler

Considering what he did with the orb I'm not too certain he knows what 'safe' is.

edit: Plus he set his clothes on fire during a fight. When Viviene called him on it he said "i didn't think it worth mentioning" as well as "it went out eventually"

[kalasaurus]

So, I just finished the game and did the Solas romance.  Was anyone else... sad by the ending?  I was really touched by it

Spoiler

(and may have cried in the final scene when she allowed him to remove her vallaslin and said "you are so beautiful").

 I hope there's more to it later on...

 

I honestly didn't expect to be so sucked into his romance.  It was beautiful.  Consider me a fan 

[HeyCal]

I really shouldn't read this thread while trying to do my Dorian-mance playthrough.... Cause all I want to do is run and remake Varlaina. X'D but in this playthrough Im playing an energetic rogue Trevelayn who Solas finds endearing due to his fascination with the fade and spirits. If I can't romance him, I'll be best buds!

[Kulyok]

With how huge and amazing and wonderful this game is, I won't be surprised if they release an expansion. But my heart starts crying every time I imagine an expansion without Solas. I just can't.

[Dr. Doctor]

They have concept art for Arthalan, maybe Inquisition will get an expansion like Awakening?

Lavellan: The ancient home of the People, Solas would love this place.

Sera: Well that's a funny mental image innit?

Lavellan: (sighs)

Hahaha, I don't think I've got that banter yet!

Spoiler

Even still, safe sex is different from safe magic. I just think it's weird that he's the only one left out of that conversation! XD

I really hope for an Awakening expansion, even though larger expansions like that aren't really in vogue anymore. I really don't like the idea of leaving this story as it is for the next game, but also after thinking I don't think that a Witch Hunt length DLC would do it justice either.

[Nika]

I rarely got any banter, my game is cursed :/
Does someone know a point where they trigger?

And I really can't calm down after experiencing everything myself, I slept like two hours xD
Solas you beautiful bastard lol

Maybe he was too embarassed? I don't see him having a word that isn't a tad bit embarrassing. 

Or worse. Maybe he howls instead.

I never noticed a set area like there was in Origins or DA2, which was slightly upsetting as it means I can't run through everyone and get all the conversations in one go through without extra work. Would not be surprised if it was bugged though.

[SurelyForth]

So I muscled my way through the rest of the game and

 

Spoiler

I am dying to see where it's going. Solas is a fascinating and amazingly well-written character, and I hope that the pay off for having a re-tread of Corypheus (I actually thought Samson was a more interesting antagonist...Samson!) is something that lives up to the promise of that last scene. 

 

Which, if I interpreted correctly, Flemeth gave herself up to him willingly, right? I though he was supposed to have killed her, but it seems like she sacrificed her own power (and Urthemiel's) so he would be strong enough to do...whatever it is he needs to do. If that's so, the Inquisitor pretty much has to be the only DA protagonist from here on out- without Flemeth around to save them/help them win, the heroes of Thedas will be mostly SOL. Or maybe that was Fen'harel's plan all along...

 

As for the romance- I think it was nicely done (I loved the framing of the scenes and, again, Solas is just so well written). However, I don't think I connected to him as a love interest as much as I thought that he was a fascinating enigma. That might be my own fault for being spoiled, but the distance at which he held himself made it hard for me to connect to their relationship the way I was connecting to my Inquisitor's relationships with other companions and advisers. I'll probably replay my Lavellan at some point in the future, but for now I am glad to set her aside and see how things progress in a playthrough without the romance.

I will literally laugh about this til the end of time.

"Oh for- REALLY?!"

Wellllll.... He didn't say no. xD Now I'm imagining a very happy desire demon or spirit of affection somewhere out there... Bad brain, bad...

hm... Is he more likely to see desire demons in the fade after his 'relations' with our Inquisitor?

Spoiler

I do wonder. I can imagine spirits of compassion like Cole, as well as those of love are probably likely to pop up as well depending on how far you want to interpret his feelings went. Can definitely see a desire demon taunting him like one did with Cullen back in Origins, though only from afar. He's a bit too powerful for the force field bit to work.

[jellobell]

Spoiler

So, whether Solas is literally Fen'Harel, or possessed by him/it, and whether he's really a god or just some sort of uber ancient spirit/mage/whatever... am I the only one that loves how normal he is?

Spoiler

ME TOO. tbh I was really unnerved when the whole Fen'harel thing was confirmed because I was worried that Solas's Solas-ness was just a mask for the capricious trickster underneath, but it turns out it's really...not. I mean, he definitely keeps a lid on who he is and why he's doing what he's doing, but everything else is just so honest; his love of the Fade, his compassion for the people you meet, his joy in sharing his knowledge, his confidence, his quiet sadness. He really isn't much of a trickster at all. He cares too much. Ironic that Fen'harel turned out to be this unassuming scruffy nerd.

 

Also, his defensive, "it has been a long time" in the conversation after the first kiss just cracks me up. I imagine that it has been a very long time. And him saying that he's less inhibited in the fade is adorable.

[SamanthaJ]

In a crazy turn of events what if...

Spoiler

it turns out that Solas aka Fen'Harel is the "Big Good".

[Sable Rhapsody]

And I'm bugging you guys with question again since I'm super slow, and only just finished Adamant Fortress.  I've logged 50 hours and I haven't even done Halamshiral 

 

Spoiler

Am I missing a Solas scene after Adamant?  He ranted about the Wardens for a bit, but just about every other character has some sort of cutscene conversation.  I did tick him off by keeping the Wardens, so that might be it, but I had boatloads of approval from him going into that quest chain.  I'd actually stopped getting approval for elven artifacts.

Spoiler

Honestly I would not be surprised if he did have good intentions, he isn't the kind of person as we've seen him to outright hurt others and he values helping highly. However, you know what they say about hell and good intentions. Loghain had good intentions, and look where it got him. Anders had good intentions, same thing. I fear that Solas will end up the same way.

[TheJediSaint]

Solas' romances seems to have as much sad feels as Cassandra's had happy ones.

Well he is Fen'harel, perhaps he will have learned from whatever gave him his bad reputation in the first place.
