Hey all, have an Abelas thing I wrote, here.
(The tumblr, btw, is a collaborative effort specializing in non-canon trash.)
@Giton: Wow, you have a gift for prose. It makes my writing sound like the clunky rattle of an old farm truck versus your sleek vision of a formula one car - all purpose with no extra weight.

But seriously, thank you for the kind words! I will go right now to read your stuff; I'm sure it's lovely. I often find that old farm trucks have more character and charm than sleek race cars.
Everyone should go follow that Tumblr. It's filled with all the coolest people. And me. I'm also there, and writing Abelas trash to suit all your fantasizing needs.

You shut your mouth! Your Zevran stuff is so good!
I miss that elf.
@Giton: thank you. It isn't trim and sleek, but it is fun.
And, relevant to thread: What do you think would happen if Zev met Abelas? OMG, now I have plot bunnies, EEK. ![]()
Are you talking about the tiles Swevenfox posted? If so, https://dragonagekee...lt/#product/da2
That's what it is referring to - the keep tiles. So you can manage your world states.
EDIT: Top Bae - BW needs a Reminder that this is canon Abelas hair - Source
I literally can't even imagine. I don't think Abelas would take it too well. If he thinks the Inquisitor is like... a degenerate form of elvenhood, then what the hell is going to think of Zevran?
I miss Zevran too.
He'll probably have some really strong options about Zev at first...But he'll come around,they all come around!@Giton: thank you. It isn't trim and sleek, but it is fun.

Zev can get it.
But seriously, I would love to see grumpy elf Abelas with the subversive and indomitably cheerful Zev.
Imagine the poetry Zev could read to Abelas to cheer him up. The glorious, horribad poetry.
Y'all are evil. Don't know if there will be poetry, but maybe. In the tradition of the old Zev thread I suggest a prompt: Zev and Abelas. Prose, poetry, artwork, whatever you can come up with. I fear poor Abelas might not know what has hit him.

Have you ever seen that look Abelas gives Sera in the temple? I expect worse for Zev. Someone needs to write this. Too funny ![]()
Ah now I see. Abelas sneaking into DA Keep. Hmmmm interesting they have the tapestry up now.
Beautiful writing Giton! I expected nothing less from an ancient elven deity.

Thank you!
It means so much coming from the very seat of Dwarven manhood, nay all manhood, varricschesthair. Was this the chest hair that launched a thousand ships? Yes, yes it was.
Edited to add: And yes, I may write a few bit of Zev/Abelas banter.

Admit it. You want to stroke it. No one can resist.
You guys are making me want to get tumblr.
I must expunge this feeling immediately. With fire and blood.

Is that a serious question?
Of course I want to stoke it.

Give into your feelings!!
Tumblr is A+ for fan trash blogging.

True. Trying to decide how much more of my sanity and/or dignity I want to sacrifice at the altar of this fandom. Even Mass Effect wasn't this bad.

Sanity? Dignity? What are these things you speak of?
You'll get literally nothing but dribble from me. That said, I like the idea of small signs that someone is beginning to trust, rather than big gestures. So have this trash.

Nom nom nom, I love your trash.
So I have a question... say you are writing a story with Abelas in it and you already know you are going to write a sexual encounter (not of the third kind) do you think it is best to make two different versions? Like one explicit and one mature? How much does having a sex scene detract from the plot or does it? Thoughts, opinions?
I mean, erotica is a thing. But sex scenes in novels that aren't erotica are also very much a thing. I thing it's hard to judge without actually knowing the plot and the general /feel/ of the work. I don't think there's anything wrong with sex scenes, and people will certainly read it.I don't think you should make two different versions- people should hopefully be mature enough to judge whether or not they can handle it.
I've never written a serious sex scene before though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Well... I'd post my trash but then I'd get hate mail.
The main focus of the story isn't on their relationship. It's all Solas's fault. It's supposed to happen naturally but pfff Abelas is terrible at cooperating. How did you get him to take his shirt off????

Knifepoint.
Post it! Seriously. I don't get hate mail, by some magic. I get like two readers, but I don't get hate mail! I don't think a story needs to be focused entirely on the relationship. If I ever wrote this into something longer, I don't think the romance would be like... the main plot. I'd have to give them something else to do.
