This is Artemis1000's first year coming to Black Emporium, but fans of Star Wars need no introduction to Artemis1000. This is Artemis1000's first year actually playing through the Dragon Age games, and the thoughtful approach she gives to her playthroughs are echoed through their carefully plotted and well-characterized fanfiction. Artemis1000 has a long tradition of commenting thoughtfully in exchanges and this BE was no exception. Congrats on the bingo, Artemis!
If you're a fan of Artemis' works, we advise you to keep a close watch on their profile as we're sure she'll be bringing up quality fiction. Those eager to sample some of Artemis' works should consider trying What We Are (Nathaniel Howe/Velanna, G), where UST becomes an art form, or perhaps Second Love (Leliana/Morrigan, T), which examines the conflict Leliana's prior relationship with Marjoline brings to her newest relationship.
Works Artemis1000 produced this year for BE are:
against all evidence to the contrary, not an essay on the care and feeding of templars [Lysette/Minaeve, T]: Knowing what she knew about her love for all creatures dangerous and widely feared, hindsight told Minaeve she really should have seen it coming. If she was going to fall in love at all, it figured she would fall for the people counterpart of a poisonous giant spider.
Knowing what she knew about herself, Minaeve still couldn’t explain how or when exactly she had fallen for Ser Lysette. Nor did she know what to do about Ser Lysette or her feelings for her, which was just her luck, really. She would have been better off sticking to giant spiders.
not far from you [Female Couslan/Anora Mac Tir, M]: Far less is known about our queen’s mysterious disappearance. For two years, Elissa Cousland vanished from Ferelden. There was many a lurid rumor about the circumstances of her death or betrayal, yet Queen Anora insisted that she was away on Warden business and would speak no more on the matter.
A Tale of Cautious Women [Anora Mac Tir/Vivienne, T]: Sentimentality is no way to make politics but every now and then the stars align just right to give you a chance at both.
Anora, Vivienne and the cautious discovery that love can be found where you least expect it.
