varric, avengers au!

The day after the invasion dawns bright and golden, and all the more beautiful because there had been a moment, just after the bomb, when everyone had been pretty sure there wouldn’t be another one.

He’d worked through the night, fingers clacking away on his keyboard. Jameson didn’t want to run ‘spandex stories’. Jameson was a fool. Right now, this was the only story in town. He could still remember seeing them, the blue light from the alien weapons playing on their faces, unreal and vivid.

He finishes the article and watches the cursor blink at the top of the screen, eyes itchy with exhaustion, before he flexes his fingers one last time and types:

A DAY UNLIKE ANY OTHER

The world’s so much larger now. It’s brighter. Bolder. And Varric Tethras knows just where the story’s gonna go.

yeah marvel is by no means perfect, but seeing all the hype for it on my dash vs the frustration at dc’s everything really drives home for me how marvel at least gets it and dc is so damn clueless it hurts :( which sucks. i loved dc.

Me too ): I just imagined the alternative universe where Justice League happened and everyone is excited about Wonder Woman 2 and Batman and Superman and maybe a Black Canary movie and it made me sad. DC feels so, so ashamed of its properties sometimes, and it really sucks.

Let me start by saying that there is so much talent in my followbox. I mean, there amount of you that dedicate yourself to writing or art is outstanding, and even more outstanding is the high standard of work that I find here.

I would have thought, before I became immersed in it, that the realm of fanfiction and fanart would be… tacky and devoid of skill. But it really, really, really, isn’t. You guys prove that to me every day. We are the most inspired bunch of people that exist.

Now, we are all aware of our flaws in our own artforms. There is no worse critic for an artwork than the person who created it. But the level of insecurity that I see all the time coming from the most talented people is quite saddening. So I wanted to share with you all some of your strengths that you probably don’t see all the time.

I mostly read Anders FF, because that is what I love, so if you write Anders, you might be a bigger priority on my read list. If you aren’t here, likely I haven’t read you yet, or I haven’t read enough to be able to articulate my thoughts, but I am getting there. Or I am crap at navigating Tumblr and can’t find links to your work. I want to give everyone the kind of attention that they deserve. Some people I have written very little but I plan to expand upon it.

If you want to point me in the direction of someone you think I seriously need to read or view, do it, PLEASE! No stone unturned! I will thank you for it. Each and every one of you has vast potential, I just want to make sure that you realise it.

I am all typed out for now! But I will never stop finding things that I love about fanart and fiction and about all of you beautiful people.

Aaaah, you are too kind! Thank you! And just for you, all the fic I’ve archived on ao3 (If you’re an Anders fan, check out Mother Tongue, Epilogue and Ghosts).

And you’ve prompted me to finally add a link to that on my main page too so thank you :p

dragon age: the silent grove #5. (and two good reasons to read it.)

Oh Varric, you were waiting to use that line, weren’t you.

spicyshimmy replied to your post: I always feel weird putting drabbles on AO3

DO IT! but i know this feeling. i tend not to put any of that stuff on ao3 up just because i don’t want to swarm people with all of it. and also because i am so, so lazy…

CypherofTyr does this great thing where every drabble is a chapter of an AO3 work called ‘Wild Ficlets Appear!’, which I think if I did this kind of drabble more often that’s what I’d do.

It’s weird, a lot of drabbles for memes and stuff I don’t mind being temporary but occasionally I write a thing and go ‘Hmm, yeah, I want to keep that somewhere.’ I assume artists have this problem a lot!

(Also, yeeeaaah, the swarming. Which reminds me I need to go archive a bit of my Azula alphabet before it gets ridiculous)

Shimmy you can’t just leave it at that

I mean

How will I ever get to sleep now? All I can think of now is chest hair and hair-horns and shampoo bubbles and stories and Varric deciding that there’s no way he can tell anyone it ever happened because it’s too good to be true.

I need more.
