Quote this with an out of context image that represents your OC, and a picture of your OC

Whelp.

Welcome back, Ilariya Lavellan.

After 10 years Ilariya’s story is finally done and I can’t stop sobbing about it. What a ride. My OTP solavellan, the one OC who has stuck with me the most. 😭
Together, the two spirits greeted the end of time, a single thought echoing through the cold, long dark: var lath vir suledin. And so it had.

#tavqotd

An unfamiliar person arrives in camp one day with a message for your tav/durge that chills their blood. What was that message?

For Lithariya it’s, “Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood. You will never be rid of me. You will never escape me.”

I am deeply unwell, actually.
You're cold, Solas gently tapped against her arm. He draped a blanket over her shoulders then wound his arms around her. After a few minutes of silence, he continued. You need not remain here. I want to, she assured him. And it was the truth. She wanted to be here with Solas. She wanted to paint the history and dreams of the titans. She just didn't know who she was anymore. That, I can answer, he tapped against her navel as he nuzzled his face into her neck. You love the smell of the rain in autumn. You love strolling through the heavy fog in a lush forest. You love the quiet of the trees, the chirps and birdsong as you read. You are resilient and passionate and fiery. You are graceful and cunning. You want better and you'll do whatever it takes to get it. Yes, things have changed. You have changed. You will continue to change. Eternity is a long time, but you will always be llariya Lavellan, the woman I fell in love with, the woman who bewitched me body and spirit, the woman to whom my heart will always belong.

One more hc before I disappear for the weekend:

I hc that Dorian and Cullen had a fling during Inquisition. And Cullen writes him a letter years after the events of VG (and after the veil has fallen)
I thought of writing.you, you know. I thought of it every day after you left for Tevinter. I thought of visiting you. Often. I even packed my belongings for the trip once. But what could a southern former-Templar like myself offer to a Tevinter Magister? I would only be a scandal-in-waiting. Your enemies would use me to discredit you. And, well, the importance of your mission far outweighed my own happiness. As I reflect on my life (or, more accurately, as spirits of Longing and Memory and Introspection join me during sleepless nights), I just wanted you to know that you weren't a casual dalliance. What we shared... it was real for me. It will always be real for me. If I dare to be so bold, your friend, Cullen Rutherford

For this #DAfanFriday I will leave you all with a hc #veilguardspoilers
Harding was my forward scout and I hc that the blight absorbs her. And when Solas is trying to help the blight heal, the only reason he and Ilariya are able to restore it to the titans (thru the help of Cassandra’s knowledge of reversing tranquility) is because Harding helps guide the blight and helps to restructure the relationship between the titans and dwarves. It’s by her spirit’s efforts that the dreams return and a new world with a new dynamic between titans and dwarves comes to exist (with the veil torn down)

This fic has a soft special place in my heart. It’s my first longfic (>50k words) and I really loved exploring my particular #durgetash dynamic and grappling with the meaning of redemption.

Mind the tags for important CWs.

The dark urges have become stronger and more frequent as Lithariya approached Baldur's Gate. Left with only vague allusions of who she was and a "misplaced" prayer penned by her hand, she discovers that her connection with the Archduke Gortash was much, much deeper than she anticipated. Finally able to speak with her alone, Gortash reveals why Lithariya lost favor with her god and Father and the oath they made that toppled it all. With this realization and access to Gortash's memories, the distinction between who she was and who she is begins to blur. Can she walk the path of redemption? Will Gortash join her? Does she even want him to?

Nothing new for #DAfanFriday so I’m resharing my DAI adversaries-to-lovers slow burn #solavellan fic in which solas and Lavellan are like skittish cats with each other until they aren’t. 😉

Rating is for themes & violence. The spice level is mild.

Smoke and shadow, blades flashing in the dark. An assassin and spy secretly able to access the magic of the Fade. This was the world of Ilariya Lavellan until one mission landed her at the center of one of the most significant events in recent history. Plagued with a mark that is not only killing her, but also influencing her, she must navigate her new position at the forefront of a budding Inquisition, surrounded by people she isn't certain she can trust and a mysterious mage who knows more than he admits.

It’s been a wild couple of weeks with little time to write, but yes, I still think about solavellan every day.
Eternity began with a kiss. A kiss which felt entirely too short for the two lovers who were savoring the honey-sweet safety of each other's lips. A kiss which, nonetheless, extended the length of a year in the unchanging world.

Sorry I just can’t stop thinking of them today and I’ve been waiting 6 months for this fic to finally reach solavellan heaven.

And I’m just really obsessed with the idea of them being together FOR ETERNITY.
"We walk the winding path of eternity, my heart. Hand in hand, side by side, I will greet the end of time with you."

Still beside myself over solavellan, actually.
He slowly leaned down, forcing the wince of pain to smooth across his expression. His lips found hers and, like a reflex, she parted them in welcome. "Don't go," he whispered into her mouth, the elven language so much more lyrical when it rolled off his tongue in this place. The fade seemed to sing along with him, its melody revealing his unspoken intent: please. He was delirious, his body broken, his strength failing. And in this vulnerable state these two words revealed the cosmos of his spirit, his deepest fear resurfacing to taunt him. Wisdom was meant to be shared. Wisdom was never meant to exist in isolation. Being alone— dying alone— represented that ultimate failure, the final irrevocable twist of the knife which meant his purpose had been corrupted beyond any hope of restoration. Yet somehow when she slipped the tattered cloth from her left eye, she beheld his spirit burning brightly in his chest. Safe. Safe. Safe. Finally safe.

Rubbing my hands together and cackling. I love writing fanfic.

I really wanted a solavellan reunion scene that was the inverse of their balcony scene (especially with the “Don’t go.” I’m a sucker for iterations/mirroring in fiction)
“Don’t go” he whispered into her mouth. “Please.”

Ilariya would wear this without the hat if it’s in the fall or winter.

I play on console so this was her design for 2 full runs. Then when they patched to have mods run on console she got 2 slight updates: darkest timeline (embrace!durge) and update on canon.

#TAVQOTD how has your Tav’s design changed from when you first made them?

LITH LORE TIME! So when I first started the game I did not take the dark urge seriously. I quickly realized Larian was serious about the Durge background so did a little redesign of visuals and complete rehaul of backstory

I’m spamming the timeline tonight but I just will never get over this art of Lithariya by @madqueenmaddie.bsky.social

Okay I am going to be messing with photo mode for HOURS because it is so fun but I just have to say… Lithariya, the woman you are. I love her so much and just ughhhhhhh

I already know when photo mode drops that I’ll disappear back in the Durgetash trenches and FINALLY collect an obscene amount of pics of these two together (AND I can mod her to her actual canonical look AHHHHHH thank you Larian!)

I’m curious and this seems fun, so I’ll join in the trend!

Make assumptions about Ilariya
Post your OC and let people assume things about them Ilariya lavellan, a black-haired elven inquisitor. She has a scar on her left eye.
