Lost Without You

Summary: Ahsoka knew this was inevitable. All the years they’d spent together could never be enough. She thought she’d prepared herself for such a fate, but the reality of it was much harder to accept than she’d imagined.

Not the First, But the Best - Part 1

Summary: Crosshair and Arlo spend a sweet evening together on their first date, and it goes even better than Crosshair could have expected. What he also didn’t expect was to face the nosy inquiries of his siblings so soon. It would seem nothing stays a secret for long on a tiny island like Pabu.

Here is Chapter 1 of 3 of the next fic in my Crosslo series (yes, Crosshair and Arlo have a ship name now!) <3

I will be posting chapters 2 and 3 on Thursday. The rest of the fics in the series can be found here Cross My Heart and Help Me Heal .

"It's my fight. I'm ready."

Decided to upgrade this to a more canon accurate version. Seeing grown up Omega on screen brought tears into my eyes. How are we feeling after that finale?

Arlo

color: Green -> a color often associated with spring, life and new beginnings, Arlo embodies all of these qualities. She is vibrant and full of feeling, and her endless optimism allows her to inspire new beginnings in even the most desolate of beings flower: Spring Beauty -> symbolizes cheerfulness, youthful gladness, which is Arlo's general state of being animal: Dove -> this ties into the role she plays in Crosshair's life. Just as the dove is a symbol of peace, freedom and love, Arlo is Crosshair's love, helped him make peace with the scars of his past, and ultimately find his freedom scent: Freesia -> a light, cheerful scent, often associated with springtime song: imperfect for you by Ariana Grande -> this song is the Crosslo theme. Neither is the perfect partner, but they are exactly what the other needs, and are better together because of it feeling: warmth -> a lot of the Crosslo series focusses on Crosshair and Arlo's desire to feel safe and a sense of belonging, and this is often described as the feeling of 'warmth', which Arlo embodies for Crosshair.

This was a fun way to share more about Arlo with you all! For those who don't know her, she is my oc love interest for Crosshair in my Crosslo series, Cross My Heart and Help Me Heal . Please check it out if you want to read their story!

Thanks for the tag @tealmisthams! Here is the last line(s) I wrote for my new Rook x Lucanis fic I'm working on (in the Dragon Age Fandom). The fic is And Always, My Love, and the first chapter can be found here on ao3.

After a moment more, she turned and made to leave the dining hall, regret rolling in her stomach. Had this been the right decision? Should she have taken the chance with Lucanis, despite everything? Could they have danced around each other’s wounds and hurts without hurting each other? She didn’t know. And now she never would.

solavellan + being weird

I've heard it said that the appeal of the Solas romance is that he's a god who thinks Lavellan is a special princess. But this is clearly a misunderstanding, because the whole point of Solas is that he is not a god. He's ultimately just a weird nerd and I do not personally think he would fall in love with someone because they're a special princess. He falls in love with Lavellan because she's also fucking weird in ways that are partly similar to and partly complementary to his own brand of weird. 

It makes me think of the quote commonly misattributed to Dr Seuss about finding someone whose weirdness is compatible with your own. Solas calls Lavellan 'unique,' and yes, she is; but not because she's uniquely special and perfect but because her weirdness happens to be particularly compatible with his weirdness, and he's experiencing for the first time the astonishing bliss of finding someone who you really click with after a lifetime of never fitting in anywhere.
