oh solas dragonage you will create a situationship wherever you go

So I will be obsessed with the whole "Solas and Lavellan's love story growing into myth like proportions post game" probably for forever. And I had another idea along these lines that I now love very much. What if people start noticing that there is now a new flower that only grows around Fen'harel statues and no where else. And when I say new I mean NEW. No one has ever seen them before, no one has even read a description of them before. You can't even keep them in pots because they only thrive around Fen'harel statues. Possibly also has alchemical properties related to the fade, or to help people talk with spirits.

"Solas!"

"Yes, vhenan?"

"I had the most illuminating conversation with Iron Bull. You've got to hear this."

"Tell him I am sick of his poor attempts at warming me towards the qun."

"It is not about that, taren’din!"

Lavellan: *gets in Solas' lap and manages to whisper the most vile, unhinged smutty thing he has heard in the countless millenia of his existence*

Solas: *sweats profusely*

lost him after slaughtering cops and this happened ??? 😭😭

*playing twister* Felassan: Right hand red. Rook: *ends up on top of Solas* Solas: You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Felassan: I stopped spinning like 15 minutes ago. Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't notice.

Everyone’s either moving on from Veilguard or trying to purge it from their memory…meanwhile I’m still trapped in that damn music room.

There’s been a few hot takes on whether or not “Memories of a duet” was about Mythal and I genuinely believe it was as you can find its entry under her image in the veilguard’s codex, and what a precious memory it is…to feel wholly seen and to see in turn.

And yet…that is but one note at the piano. Everything else in this little hidden room of treasures is Inquisition memorabilia. You will find nothing else.

He repainted his frescos from the rotunda solely from memory on these walls even though they filled him with regret. “I live with countless regrets, some of which I have grown to cherish more than my victories.”

He keeps his orb (held, then shattered by the Inquisitor) on display under the window. One of his greatest failures, yet still a treasure.

One of the old astrariums we spent hours cracking together on our expeditions through the south (ft tower of cheese wheels, fereldan no doubt)

The Orlesian statue he leaned against all night at the Winter Palace.

Random inquisition chair, probably stolen from one of the great tables at Skyhold or perhaps one of the camps they’d made in the wilds.

On the bench AT the piano is the actual book of the Inquisition, close enough to brush his thigh as he played.

And a lute, reminiscent of the one the inquisitor kept behind their desk in their chambers. (I always head canoned that Inky knew how to play even though we never actually see it.)

I think we can all agree that this room is Solas’ happy place, filled from the floor to the ceiling with relics of times that brought him peace and joy in his terribly long life…and aside from one memory at the piano, all it is is junk he collected from retracing the Inquisition’s footsteps again and again.

Let’s also not forget the one memory he could not bear to keep locked from sight in that room of forbidden happiness;

Hung just above the wardrobe in his mediation room; another place he likely went in search of solace and found it unobtainable until he had this to look at.

“Why didn’t a romanced Lavellan get a mural??”

My God, because she’s EVERYWHERE. Even when he tried to lock her in a room behind a million hoops, he couldn’t escape her…not even in his dreams.

This room alone eradicated any doubt that Solas’ time with the Inquisition, romanced or not, were the happiest years of his life in the physical world. These were all the memories he could not bring himself to destroy/erase like the murals of him and Mythal and I just…😭😭😭😭😭😭 And the fact that no matter how many wolf statuettes you collect, you CANNOT make the murals reappear until the Inquisitor gives you their’s ???!!! (ik it’s probably just a game mechanic, but still, the IMPLICATIONS)
