my two favorite elves and forever otp<3

shimmy gives me all the zevris feelings and there’s just no end to themmm

Though they were both elves, they had little more than knife-ears in common. ‘Sharp as blades,’ Zevran said, touching one of his with a callused finger, just the very tip. This, they also shared—but the calluses could not be compared as such, for they were in different places, formed by different weapons and different weights. ‘I have always wondered if it was perhaps too apt—that we have ever been meant to defend ourselves in some way.’ 

One would not assume to look at him that he would think too much as well as speak too freely, but this was possible. 

It was also a trait they did not share. 

‘It is dangerous to see too much of yourself, even in the darkness,’ Zevran added, skin also warmed by the sun, worn like armor shaped from thick, boiled leather, and scoured in much the same way. Fenris’s shoulders twitched, for that was a dressing he knew readily. What he protected; what he could not protect. 

Yet the tattoos—those were the greatest difference of all. One of them had chosen and the other had not. They may have formed the shapes of muscles that were theirs now to command in some way, to flex or twitch when a stranger’s hand came too close, but Zevran’s fingers stilled against his hip, while Fenris…

Fenris felt his knuckles curve against his heart. 

They had nothing in common besides the ears, he told himself, yet there they were. Naked, scarred, bound by some metaphor, as though it was ever as simple as in one of Hawke’s lessons or the dwarf’s many books. It was not. They were flesh and burdens, weapons and shields, more than the sum of the scars they could not forget. They were not words or even—more difficult—sentences. 

So perhaps they knew each other better than Fenris had thought. 

‘Where did you get it?’ Zevran asked, winding the red cloth around his wrist, while a touch of gold caught the light at Fenris’s throat.

And perhaps, Fenris acquiesced, it was not about what they already shared, but what they could share. The gifts they wore, or exchanged, or even offered. 

Zevran brought the little favor to his lips, like fire and blood, but it was neither—just an old strip of linen faded by sweat. ‘Never mind,’ he said. ‘I think… I think I would prefer not knowing, after all.’ 

LOOK LOOK LOOK AAH<3

I will sit here consumed with feels for the rest of the evening

too tired to draw today! everything becomes crap!! augh!!!
I almost managed a Zevran in snow and now I won’t so much as look at a pen until I’ve slept for at least a few hundred years.

As a general rule, Antivans don’t like the cold. They’re just not suited for it. In Antiva City they worship the sun just as much as the intrigue, and cold is for those who were born under unlucky stars, like slaves and Fereldans.

No Antivan willingly subjects themselves to it. 

Ferelden, the kingdom of dogs and dust, should have never ended up being so warm and welcoming. But it’s there, on the curve of his eyebrow, on the quirk of his lips—the very fact that there’s something worth smiling about while the snow sticks to his hair and he shivers under the cloak.

Warmth is a funny thing; it sticks with you when you need it most. Zevran takes it up the Frostback Mountains, carrying it under his tongue in the form of a name that he knows he just has to whisper for that head to turn around and flash the smile that will set him on fire all over again. 

reblogging for CUTE FICLET IIH

iamingrid suggested Saemus and Ashaad (kissing obviously!!)

Got my new glasses and holy shit, I thought I had perfect sight with my old ones but with these I can see EVERYTHING even an ant moving from 50 meters away, I swear!

cypheroftyr suggested Fenris in Grey Warden armor and I was gonna do something cute/funny but then I uh strayed kinda far away from that original idea.

whenever I’m drawing Anders I feel like I can’t
do him justice
 

HEHEHE
