A Deryah for @justmishathings.bsky.social as my last piece of #ArtFight 🐟
Digital portrait of a siren with deep blue scales and sky-blue fins, her long black hair float around her and obscuring half of her face. She is leaning forward with her arms crossed, looking sideway with a slight scowl. She has large, slashing scars all across her right forearms and tails.

📝️ @tulipathy.bsky.social has loved Thedas since she beat the ogre in the Tower of Ishal on her [REDACTED] try. When not working on fandom projects, she avoids the unfinished projects haunting her office by gardening. Or chasing rabbits out of the garden.

A fanfic excerpt from tulipathy, calendar writer, that reads: Now he only wants to get the hell out of there. Away from the Redcliffe lords and their well-meaning scheming, and as far as he can get from Anora, whose scheming is so much cleverer than theirs it doesn't frighten anyone as much as it should. Alistair's not made for scheming. He doesn't want to be in schemes. He wants to put his shield where it's needed and do the right thing with his sword.

A fanfic excerpt from teegs, calendar writer, that reads: There comes a time one day when we must say goodbye, when the pain of holding on hurts us for worse than the pain of letting go. And it's alrght. Because on teh other side there is always someone else to catch us, to support us, to love us through the grief. But we can't meet the future while holding onto the past.

📝Writer, editor, lore nerd. The kind of person who will conduct a detailed analysis of the blight and then spend hours working out what kind of chair the Imperial Divine sits on in the Argent Spire. Definitely not a blood mage.

A fanfic excerpt from Mick, calendar writer & beta, that reads: Cullen reminds Cole of another man - not the templar, but the mage, the first, failed, feared. Like him, Cullen has the old song in his blood, not by birth, but by necessity. Like him, Culen has been filed away, forgotten, freed from one prison to fill another. Like him, Cullen has wounds that bleed, and bleed, and bleed, and never heal. When they met, Cullen would not have thanked Cole for the comparison. Today, he might understand.

📝You'll find @gefionne.bsky.social basking in a sunbeam, empty coffee mug behind a laptop. Mornings are for writing, w/frequent visits to Thedas since she first played #DragonAge in 2015. The pen is mightier, but if she pulls a card, it's the Queen of Swords.

🔗 AO3 | tumblr
A fanfic excerpt by Gefionne, calendar writer, that reads: In the groves of Tirashan, where trees as old as the world grew gnarled and broad-boughed, it took no great magic to summon shadows: Fade-touched whispers of memory, echoes of bygone ages. Lavellan stood barefoot in the leaf litter, feeling the play of spirits at the peripherary of her mind, but venturing no further. Once her clan's First and then a fearsome rift mage of the Inquisition, she hadn't done more than mummers' tricks in a year. Her left hand had always been the one to steer spells, as she carried a staff in her right, and its absence made casting a burden.

📝Ashura face-planted into #DragonAge fandom in 2021 after a long, life-induced hiatus & never managed to pull herself out. Ships (and mostly writes) Handers. Her favorite DA game is Origins, and not ONLY because of Alistair.

🔗 AO3 | @unseelieash.kawaii.social | tumblr
An excerpt of fanfic by Ashura, calendar writer, that reads: There was a time he dreamt about surviving this. That dream faded long ago, somewhere during twelve messy years of marching and fighting and scrabbling for miracles, amid the compromises and the famines and the lingering echo of a sweet melody singing in the blood.

A fanfic sample from Gaia/Archon Bun, calendar writer & beta, that reads: Not for the first time, Orsino sees Marian's father in her. Her father from when both he and Malcolm Hawke were young men, and Orsino kept his head down and took care to remain forgettable, before Maud set fire to herself and he caught the heat of that pyre, which kindled in him a still living anger Malcolm was already that way, wound up tight, with his jaw often set and grinding, but with a strong laugh and a heart easy to move to tears and compassion. Orsino wonders if his daughter hides the same.

a fanfic excerpt from alix | wishforhome, calendar writer: Viago has learned, in his way, to be kind. He is not a gentle man. He was raised in the Antivan court, a bastard child among sharp-tongued courtiers. Then he was molded by the Crows, who took the sharp edge of his anger and resentment and forged it into something altogether colder. Whatever his inherent nature might have been, once, his core traits now are ambition, cunning, and an icy kind of ruthlessness.
