fic: a midwinter illumination (cousland/alistair/anders)
Something it occurred to me you folks might enjoy.... ;)
Over on swooping_is_bad, w0rdinista and I have been writing an epic eight-years-after-Origins fic called A Midwinter's Thaw, primarily involving Alistair and Elinora Cousland. We've reached the stage in the story where other characters are becoming involved, however, and Awakening inspired us to a few more that we should incorporate. In a recent scene, Elinora wrote to Amaranthine to request some help of one of our favorite mages.
While the main story hasn't yet revealed what's going to happen if/when he does respond, we wrote a bit of an offshoot that explored... er... a few possibilities. ;) I'll quote Nista's original introduction and link to the fic below. (Note that you don't have to have read MT to understand what's going on here, but if you are interested in the fic at large, the sequence so far is archived here.)
Title: A Midwinter Illumination
Word count: 7331
Author(s): w0rdinista and pagerunner_j
Characters: Alistair, Elinora Cousland ... and Anders.
Rating: M (and boy-howdy, do we ever mean it this time)
Pairing: Cousland/Alistair/Anders (which isn't so much a pairing as a threesome... cough.)
Summary: It's eight years after the Archdemon's defeat, eight years after--- oh, y'all know this part already. ;) In all seriousness, though, with so many people asking us who's going to show up next, we couldn't resist taking a peek ahead to consider what might happen if certain people did arrive. And of course, once tahara_l mentioned a little something when one thread turned to discussion of a certain mage, our path seemed clear. Smutty and very, very NSFW, but clear. We make no guarantees that this would happen... but we're pretty sure Anders wouldn't object.
