Some wild west/western solavellan au! Ive never seen an au of this anywhere except from Mogwaeis cowboy solas 👀, please correct me if im wrong!

Daylin is terrified of horses after an accident as a child, she avoids the stables when she can and stays as far as possible from the hitches near buildings when she can

I don't think I have ever read a fanfic where lavellan doesn't know she's beautiful and all the power to all the lavellans that celebrate themselves! The same goes for all the fan art, she's basically a goddess in all the fan arts I see - and one could argue that Solas deserves no less, impossibly handsome as he is. But as someone with body dysmorphia in real life, this sometimes ducks up my immersion and I wonder if I'm the only one??! This is something I actually struggle with. My canon Lavellan, Saya, looks fine I'd say, but she has, for several reasons, a distant relationship to her body. And I don't know if I'd call her hot. Am I alone in this predicament?

Edit:thank you all for the interesting insights into your Lavellans, I didn't expect that many well thought out answers! I realize that the underlying question I'm asking is less about Lavellan's image vs self image and more about how insecurities inform your Solavellan romance, specifically if there are insecurities that hinder their intimacy, or make for an awkward start at least. In almost all the fics I read it's always smooth sailing in the sheets for them, as it should be..I just ponder on the realism of it all sometimes. This post probably didn't need to be as long but here we are, apologies. And thank you to all of you beautiful Solasmancers who took their time to engage and reply.

P.s.: I apologize for not wording this more inclusively initially. Out of my head canon-y habit I spoke of Lavellan as she/her, (perhaps also because I want to know how other female Lavellans pull off the effortless self confidence I keep seeing)I but all Lavellans (and Rooks) are absolutely welcome with their reflections here!

Finished Ms. Daylin Lavellan for my solavellan western/Wild West au

May work on solas tomorrow!

It is a hot night in Tokyo and I need to know if Solavellan or Solarook fans still want to read new fics! I want to write so bad but cannot decide if medieval-ish inspired by the Nibelungs, modern take on 10 years post break-up reunion, modern doctor/terminal patient AU or really anything anyone wants to read. My brain cannot decide on it's own. Is it acceptable to explore more of regency era solavellan(considering recent developments)? Or Solas as the Scarlett pimpernel? I have so many random ideas but what do people want to read?!

This is kind of a long shot, but does anyone happen to have downloaded A Matter of Pride by Opal Apparition? I went back to reread it for some Solavellan feels and it looks like it's been taken down or something?

Upcoming solavellan modern murder mystery, Detective Fen'Dahl looking at the picture of him and his late wife El'nura while working on files, hes only just been in Reithwin a week! He does still wear his wedding band 5 years after her passing

dw I went back and actually saved Baldur's Gate and finished with "the good ending".......and then I went back again and seized the power for myself >:) mwehehehehe

I asked this in the Veilguard group cause I kinda want to prove to my friend its welcoming to solavellans. She doesn't think it is so if anyone feels like answering it there that would be awesome.

Some modern murder mystery work!

At least Solas puts his files away lol

He will be meeting her dad soon then Daylin shortly 👀

hello all! i'm looking for an old solas x ofc (maybe x reader?) that i last read a few years ago. i usually bookmark all my faves, but i couldn't find it for the life of me. i'm unsure if i'm just missing it, forgot to bookmark it, or if the writer took it down. any and all help would be appreciated.

some key details i remember about it:

• solas x ofc or solas x reader, mainly told from the pov of the female character.
• the main character was NOT the inquisitor
• i THINK modern girl in thedas, but not sure if it uses that specific tag. i could be wrong, maybe it wasn't modern girl... i might be getting it mixed up with another story. but i'm like 75% sure it was.
• at the very least 100k words. iirc it was not completed.
• it was in english.
• slow burn, but again not sure if it uses that specific tag.
• the main scene i remember: a bunch of elven kids wind up at skyhold as refugees. main character locks in and takes everyone's blankets for the kids, ends up yoinking food from the kitchens, and hunkers the kids all down in the rotunda.
• there was just a lot of advocacy done by the original character, for mages, dalish, and alienage elves.

i know it's a long shot, but i figured it might as well post here just in case it rings any bells for anyone. thank you all in advance!

Not explicitly Solas fanart but I think it still very much applies

I tried to portray the first time Solas ever laid eyes on my Inky. As he recounts it to us in game.

I've Googled for Discord servers pertaining to Solavellan, but all the links I found are no longer valid. (Even some from only 2 months ago)

I'm particularly interested in the Fade Prison and Fen'Harem.

If anyone could be so kind as to pass me some working invites, I'd be eternally grateful. <3

So sorry i havent posted much! Been an odd couple months with work picking up then dropping my hours and then camping, the other fics are still in the works! But I wanted to get a shortfic of Daylins past with her father in while I can!

Trigger warning: talk about loss of a child during infancy, some neglect, talk of abandoning a child

This is in the view of Havran Lavellan, Daylins father

Havran and his life in Clan Lavellan can be hard sometimes, but his young daughter makes these moments worth it. She loves his tales of fen'harel and the gods, his time in the fourth blight and their griffons

Long before the inquisition, before Solas, she had a simpler life, before her father disappeared, the stories of the Dread Wolf intrigued her, Havran a former First, now tells stories of past events and tales of their 'gods', Fen'Harel being one of the main he speaks of

Ok in my last post here I gushed about solavellan and all the content we got so now id like to open it to all Solasmancers.

Challenge!!!

Describe your fave Solas ship in 5 words ONLY!

“Var lath vir suledin“ and “Mala suledin nadas”

So these tattoos are a bit faded now, but I got them done a day after my first play through of Dragon Age Inquisition in 2014. I have always loved that bald headed menace. And I wanted a little elven script on me. These are elven dialogue that I always found rather beautiful, and it spoke to me on a personal leve.

It‘s nothing fancy I have seen some real cool tattoos. Does anyone else have any Dragon Age tattoo? could y’all drop them down in the comment.
