#Leliwarden #nsfw Their Bonding Ceremony culminating in tender lovemaking was not something Alessandra would ever forget. A secluded, pitched tent normally put her off from sexual intimacy; tonight, though, they were well and truly isolated from the world, the moon and stars their only witness.
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris I want to talk about the scarf for a moment as it's one of my favorite creations.
So Alessandra spent the better part of a decade planning out its design. She had to learn needlework, what stitching techniques to use on different fabrics...
Illustration of Alessandra Tabris and her partner, Leliana. Both are facing towards each other, clasping hands with fingers laced between, dressed in silvery white, flowing dresses. Alessandra's dress is off shoulder, exposing her upper chest and shoulders, with draping sleeves starting from the elbow. Red vine trim decorates the collar, the end of her sleeve, and the bottom of her dress. Around her waist is a red cord, only the long cord flowing down is visible. Leliana's dress has a modestly low cut down her upper back, and the top of her sleeves are open to expose her shoulders and most of her upper arm, ending about a third of the way above her elbow. Her sleeve also drapes but is a bit smaller than Alessandra's. Upon her neck is a simple blue necklace. She wears matching blue cord around her waist. Draped over their wrists is a multi-colored scarf, blue blending into purple, eventually blending into red. A sun adorns one end, with the face of a lion in its center. Two black halla stand majestically in either corner. This part of the scarf hangs between Alessandra and Leliana, in the foreground. As blue blends into purple, silver stars become visible, dotting along the entire length of the fabric. The red portion flows behind Leliana, and at its center a silver, waxing crescent moon with a black nightingale in flight, a pair of Andraste's Grace rest in the corners. Green vines trim along the outer edges of the entire scarf. Alessandra, slightly shorter than Leliana, gazes up at her partner, warm brown eyes bright and smile wide, mouth open, opposite to Leliana's half-lidded and softer, loving gaze. Her long auburn hair done up in a half-bun, while the rest spills over her shoulders and the middle of her back. They stand amidst a field of Andraste's Grace and lavender, tall pine trees in the distance, and mountains behind. The full moon illuminates the couple, stars scattered across the sky, with Alindra's Tears in view, the sun mostly set behind the horizon.

"This scarf is a symbol of our bond. Two souls, forever entwined. Sun, moon, and the stars the bind them, in this life and the next. Let us complete Alindra's bridge of tears at long last, Soldier and her Love. Ar lath ma, vhenan. My love, my Heartsong. Bellanaris."
Forever unpacking this dynamic. It's like a gift that keeps on giving. I love them so fucking much. #Leliwarden
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris #nsfw Alessandra walking into the bedroom to find Leliana laying on the bed wearing nothing but her best lingerie, giving her a heated, sultry look. It makes her lose her composure
When Alessandra does it, which is not often, Leliana forgets how speech works
"Please go, Leliana," Alyss insisted. For all the bard had fussed about Alyss refusing to address her by name before, she almost recoiled from how she'd done so now. Much too unfamiliar. Much too cold. As though some stranger had suddenly taken control of her vocal chords. And this time, Leliana didn't try to argue, didn't hesitate, she lingered just long enough to give Cabbage a few affectionate pats and some parting words too soft for Alyss to make sense of, then followed Zevran out of the chamber without another word.
#WardenTabris #Leliwarden Jumping right into the next chapter because this is how they left off and I desperately need them to be okay again.
Yes, the tonal shift hit Leliana in the Marjolaine trauma.
She understands Alyss is going through it right now though.
They'll talk it out or so help me.
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris #nsfw Alessandra loves being touched on her back, her stomach, inner thighs. Her breasts are also quite an erogenous zone for her, a fact they both learned very quickly in their first sexual encounter
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris Leliana and Alessandra definitely play footsy beneath the table, and Leliana typically instigates those. Perfect way to rile up Alessandra without anyone noticing, as well lol
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris Alessandra is very brash and impulsive, where Leliana is calculated, precise. I think of them as my sun/moon pair. Leliana is a moon with sun traits, a warm, calming presence but feels distant to others. Alessandra is a sun with moon traits. Intense but withdrawn.
"May I?" Alyss snapped to attention, her eyes fully opening from her attempt at rest only to see Leliana standing before her, pointing at the spot beside her on the floor. "Yeah, go ahead," Alyss mumbled. Leliana took the spot beside Alyss and for a moment merely sat there, gently humming under her breath, an oddly comforting presence, until finally she spoke. "I couldn't help but notice you have not yet taken your rations or water yourself," she pointed out. "You haven't either," Alyss retorted. Leliana made a soft amused sound in the back of her throat, as though surprised Alyss had noticed. She then reached for her own waterskin, took a generous swig from it, then offered it to Alyss. "Touché." Alyss chuckled and, having no argument, accepted the waterskin. "How's the arm, Songbird? Still sore?" she asked, and took a swig as well.
Taking a page from the bard's own book, Alyss rummaged in her bag for her rations, found a small bundle of hard biscuits and unraveled it. She picked up two, took one into her mouth and offered the other to Leliana. For a time, they passed the food around in silence, occasionally sharing another drink of water, until the biscuits were all but gone and neither seemed particularly interested in the few that were left.
Look I'm such a sucker for the small moments of closeness.
#WardenTabris #Leliana #LeliWarden
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris Knowing her partner enjoys staring at her, especially when she catches them doing it. Leliana often compliments what she admires her
Alessandra also takes pride in her hair and her arms. Why her arms? She's always been a bit underweight until the Blight--
A little #Leliwarden angst this morning:
Alessandra working herself up over Leliana wanting to go to Orlais so she can work more closely with Dorothea. She argues with her over it, which only serves to make her even more angry. After saying something incredibly stupid, she storms out of the room,--
#Leliwarden #nsfw "That's it. Take your time, my love."
Leliana brushed strands of hair from Alessandra's flushed face, taking in the sight of her as she eased herself down onto the strap-on. She kept her hips still, allowing her lover to move at her own pace.
"You look so beautiful like this."
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris #nsfw Smut thought I cannot get out of my head:
Alessandra watching Leliana's face while she (Alessandra) has her nipple in her mouth

#Leliwarden #WardenTabris I just got the sketch of my girls back from Clare earlier today, and, ya'll, the feels it gave me 😭
It's so beautiful asdkjff I can't wait for the finished piece
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris Alessandra grew up with a Dalish mother. What she taught her wasn't much but she does know some Elvish. Obviously she's very fluent in Trade and after she gets together with Leliana, she'll pick up bits of Orlesian.
“In the cloister, away from the fuss and the flurry of the cities, I found peace. And in that stillness, I could hear the Maker.”

Alessandra and Leliana in a tender embrace, sharing their first kiss together. Dressed in her Grey Warden threads, Alessandra is nervous, shy, and eager for this experience as she cards her fingers into Leliana's hair. She is lightly flushed. Leliana, wearing her Chantry robes, smiles into their kiss, her right hand gently cradling the side of Alessandra's head, her left wrapped around Alessandra's waist.
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris #SapphicSunday Not seeing their faces is homophobic AND biphobic. It's also Intl. Women's Day and Sapphic Sunday, sooo let's fix this shall we?
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris #nsfw A soft little aftercare hc for ya'll: Leliana prefers to be clean after sexual intimacy and will often draw up a bath to soak and wash up. Alessandra makes a habit to set aside some towels and Leliana's favorite soaps beforehand. Sometimes she even joins her
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris "I mean, yeah of course I would, but... how would that even happen? Neither of us are mages."
"This is true, my love. Except this is simply hypothetical. Nothing more."
"Hm. Then I'd make whoever did this to you change you back."
"Ashi--"
"I love you as you are."
#WardenTabris #LeliWarden
I talked about this before, but I like to play around with the notion that Alyss had the healthier family dynamic and the more normal carefree childhood compared to Leliana. She had two loving parents, her cousins, trusted adults, etc... Whereas Leliana lost her mom still👇
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris One of the physical traits I've given Alessandra is slightly longer canines. Def not vampire long, but enough to be noticeable
You can imagine how often Leliana has thought of having Alessandra bite her with those teeth lol
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris On occasion, Leliana will go to Cyrion for fatherly advice. She'll ask him how to deal with whatever ails her, and hope she isn't a bother; she's never had a father before, but he's very reassuring
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris Alessandra is a bit lanky and underweight at the start of DAO. So much so that when she starts putting on muscle, she takes pride in her growing strength. That includes sparring sessions and taking to wearing sleeveless shirts to show her arms off
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris Alessandra does not like hands on her neck. Touch is one thing, but wrap your hand(s) around her neck and she will immediately fight you off her. She's also claustrophobic; she does not like small spaces and cannot handle being underground very well
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris I will never, ever tire of Leliana telling Alessandra the story of Marjolaine's betrayal. How she escaped, and the elf woman she freed on her way out. The discovery that Leliana was the one who gave her more time with her mother lives in my head rent-free forever 😭
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris #nsfw It takes Leliana some time for her to be comfortable letting Alessandra take full control in bed. By this point, Alessandra has likely topped before, but only with Leliana guiding her, and every time after insisting on doing so. She still assumes the dominant role.
#Leliwarden #WardenTabris #nsfw
"Are you certain, darling?"
"Yes, yes, please! Plea--oh!"
Leliana watched her face with rapt attention as she carefully slid the toy into Alessandra's wet heat, her lover uttering a long groan. This was her first time taking the strap-on
