@equalopportunitysolas week My posts will be centred around my lavellan, sometimes including dorian (they are a throuple). Not all my posts are following the prompts. Sulevin Lavellan - he/they/any

Day 1 - Dreams

Sulevin is a Dreamer, too- but he's very careful to never venture far, and he mostly helps make sure his clan, his people are safe on the side of the Fade. He learns to be more at ease with Solas, learning how to more safely interact with spirits.

Romance is often very dehumanizing,personally.

Being hyper dependent on someone (as if you have no autonomy)

The idea that it is what 'makes you human' which is dangerous for all kinds of reasons and is the most literal display of the dehumanization.

I am not someone's purpose as I am 1 person. No more, no less. Sure I cant be replaced, but that kind of pressure literally leads to people losing their lives due to abuse. A purpose can not be a person inherently.

The idea that my whole world exists in my lovers arms sounds like a cage with 2 bars.

you're still here, despite everything

How about Y and S for the poly prompts?

I already have so many fics on my plates right now that I do not have the energy to do another, but still wanted to do something for @equalopportunitysolas this week, so we're doing polycule headcanons instead! Link to the questions here. The polycule is pretty complex (I have included a handy reference chart), and includes a variety of relationships between: Solas, Ghilara Lavellan, Dorian, Isabela, Merrill and Hawke.

y = yearn; who misses their partners the easiest (ie, calls them to hear their voices when all they’ve done is run to the grocery store)?

Solas. All the way. This man knows how to pine. He has it perfected down to an artform. I think he does have a lot of the 'I don't deserve her' referring to Ghilara and Shiralla in particular. He doesn't have them to a toxic level, but he is frequently astounded that people keep him around after the whole 'tried to destroy the world' thing. Plus, he does have a decade of missed time to make up for...

I wouldn't quite call Merrill a big yearner, but she would be the one who would always be excited to write and send out Christmas Saturnalia cards every year to all the polycule members. Even when Bela is away she writes to her often, and keeps the contact details of any partners/fwb she has, just in case she needs to send them a card or gift basket at Saturnalia. She also has a spy in Dorian's household staff who lets her know if Dorian is seeing anybody so she can include him. Dorian keeps trying to find her spy so he can buy them off but has not yet succeeded.

s = sharing; is there anyone who’s particularly territorial of their partners?

I think this one goes to Isabela and Dorian.

Bela would be super protective of literally all of the women in the polycule, especially Ghilara and Merrill, because she feels they're too kind and knows that the world takes advantage of good and kind people. Merrill would find it sweet, and Ghilara would bristle at it, but reluctantly give in.

Dorian would be also very protective of Ghil, because of his involvement in fighting Solas. He and Ghilara trauma bonded, first over Redcliff, and then the 10 years between games. I think he has got a ways to go on trusting Solas again, so he's going 'I got my eye on you' to him. He trusts Ghilara to make her own decisions, but he's ready to be there with a fireball if Solas goes off to destroy the world again.

I was also going to say Solas, but I actually think he would be super chill. Setting up platonic fade hang outs for Ghil and Dorian when they're in different countries, cooking dinner for Ghilara and Isabela after they've hooked up. He compensates for a lack of jealousy with poor self esteem and truly extraordinary amounts of yearning.
