It may sound like a cliché answer, but wherever Emmrich is - that's home for Maggie. His love brings her peace and solice. Especially after her trauma that she suffers from Weisshaupt event. "𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯."🥹 #daOCqotd #Maggie #Emmrich #Emmrook

im gonna add saire who, thanks to neve, fell in love with minrathous once again they were raised in tevinter and it was the worst time of their life, they didnt like everything that was happening to them in their family, it felt alienating

#daOCqotd What does your OC consider to be their home? Is it a place, a person, something else...? The lighthouse was the first time that Enrie felt like she had a home.

For Herja, it was the necropolis until the trauma of being imprisoned in the Fade for weeks (but to her, it felt like forever). She learns to love the Nevarran countryside, though the longing remains for how she used to feel about the necropolis, knowing she can never return home the same.

Ever since she had left her clan, Farie struggled with her sense of belonging. Quite surprisingly she found it for a bit in the Griffon Wing Keep - it gave her some stability. And then, in the end, in the long and tricky process of creating a home with Rylen in Starkhaven. #FarieLavellan

For Queen Thalia Aeducan it is Orzammar. She never feels more at ease than when she is home in the royal quarters, the experience only enhanced by having alistair at her side when he isnt busy with his own matters topside.

It's Ventus, but that place is kinda wrecked 🙃

for suledin it's her clan and she hasn't been home in a long long time

Lilya's concept of home is the one she read in books. she doesn't get attached to places she has lived, she has moved too much for that, she doesn't have a habit of accumulating stuff because she knows she will probably have to move again sometime or another.

for ni'iya her home is genuinely solas, its her safe person, someone who makes her feel loved and wanted and understood, someone who doesnt push her to do things against her own needs, who tends to her like she is the most important gem in the world

For Aravel, it's Dorian. He's been all over the place and never felt tied to one location, even when taking up the role of Inquisitor in Skyhold. He lived in the Kirkwall manor for a time, but only until he could be with Dorian permanently. Callin loves Treviso. It's his home. Even moreso now.

Orph had never had a home before Lace. First off he was found as an infant in the Grand Necropolis and was given to a couple in Nevarra City. Then he ended up back in the Necropolis while in the Mourn Watch, but never got along with folks. From there he made his home with Harding. #daOCqotd

Bart's home is the Necropolis. He is Nevarran through and through but being an elven street kid didnt exactly do great things for him and he's very prickly and not very social and he's super unpopular at home. He deeply loves a home that I think does not love him back nearly as much 💔

Ezra didn't plan on staying in Minrathous after his job for Dorian was done. But he stayed. For Morven. What started as a silly Strangers to FWB became a relationship they both didn't expect 🥹💕 (I could yap about them 24/7)

Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am home again. -Lovesong/The Cure Anywhere she and Thom are together is Mira's home. As far as physical locations go, Skyhold is home until she and Thom make their home in the Hinterlands at the cabin where they first met. #OCMira #ThomAndMira

For Mahariel home is wherever adventure takes her. She doesn't like being stuck in one place for too long. As long she's got her loved ones (mainly Zev of course) close she's happy to be anywhere. Home for Zareen is on a ship at sea, the sun shining and the sound of waves

Faulknyer has an entire conversation about this. His home is Emmrich, the person he loves. #daOCqotd #faulknyerthorne #dragonage

For Rhembus, it’s Antiva City. Back at the shop working for Gimoic near the docks. His shoebox sized balcony. He loves his life in Treviso with Lucanis, but Antiva City will always be home. For Guy, the Necropolis is home but only if Emmrich is there. They travel a lot and are each other’s home.

Astralis' whole world was with the clan, and since leaving he's felt uprooted every time he starts to think of something as home. Skyhold was... something, once he closed the door to his clan. He never thought Minrathous would be home even with Dorian - and it isn't, not quite, but every year-

Devon still considers Highever home, even though it’s too hard to go back there. Aerin is a Marcher through and through and wants to go back to Ostwick once the Inquisition is done.

- For Irene first it was the Circle, that's all she ever knew. Then it was Leliana, always. Even apart :') - For Helena, it was Lothering at first, that's the place she has the most memories of her childhood, until it went to shit. Then it was Kirkwall for a while, until it went to shit as well...

#daOCqotd Vanya: Vigil's Keep. Especially later on, when she and Alistair can be together again and her Calling research bears some fruit. They stay there most of the time in my story, until Veilguard. After that, they relocate to Denerim and help rebuilding. 1/4

I talked about this briefly before but it is definitely Emmrich. It hits Rook the first time he goes into the crossroads with Bellara post game after about a year away and he gets hit with the smell of old books, tea and a rather specific cologne that Emmrich wears in the fall that Rook fancies.

Sanga's home is the home of her father, her grandfather, and all her ancestors. After her family was killed, Rosalino de Riva bought the place & cleaned it up, then Viago gave her the keys when she was 18. Despite knowing the tragedy that took place there the night she was born, she's been able to 👇

💛Until Inquisition, Vax considers his clan his home. After meeting Dorian, he realizes it’s wherever his vhenan is. 💙Gareth gets really attached to Minrathous after joining the Shadow Dragons, and eventually sees it has a true home.

Brook definitely feels Lucanis is her home. She would never have chosen a city like Treviso to live as she'd always planned to return to the Mercar Estate one day and be a 'cool Aunt' to her nieces and nephew's but there is no place she would rather be than by his side.

Natalie: Cullen and Ferelden! She considers herself to be one of them! Sehlana: Lucanis.

It's Thom 💚 At the start of DAI, Ilia tells Cassandra that she'll go back home to Ostwick when this is all over, because where else would she go? It's where she's from, even if she feels like an outsider when she's there. But then she experiences for the first time what it's like to have people 👇

For Rhynne, it's wherever Morrigan and/or Leliana is at the time For Hawke, it was Kirkwall for a while, later it's Rivain once she and Isabela settle there For Dheraya, it was Skyhold, later it's with Josie and her family in Antiva For Bani, it's The Necropolis, The Lighthouse and with Taash

For Alyss it's first the alienage and then Leliana. Which is to say... she's left feeling homeless for a significant part of her life. Jamie never quite feels at home again until she and Isabela settle down in Rivain. She loves Kirkwall with all her heart and called it home, but nothing she built👇

#Falon'U'leaFacts The Necropolis definitely felt like a sort of home to him, so did Varric, now his home is wherever he is with his partners (Davrin, Taash, Emmrich and Lucanis)

#hal'assan Yvair doesn't really consider places as a home, he's Dalish and so use to moving around and actually gets anxious if he's in one place too long. Home to him is family. His sister, his daughter and Sebastian all count the most towards what he would call Home.

#daOCqotd What does your OC consider to be their home? Is it a place, a person, something else...?

Nyros: Definitely explored his and another fledgling's body without the need of alcohol. They got together at a secret hideout and stayed friends for years after that. Soryn (MW): Very vanilla and boring first time.

Mahariel's first time was with Zev and it was nice enough for her to come back for seconds. And much more as the years went by 💕

I don't want to fight with the word limit today, so here's some screenshots of what I wrote for Ves and Kalais about their first times. (text also in alts) #NSFW

#nsfw #daocqotd Gwyneth: Her first time was with Alistair. They were both nervous, it was fine, Gwyn found she liked the cuddling after most. Marian: One of the other farm girls in Lothering. She was also Marian's first kiss. They both had fun, but never really pursued anything after. >>

Getting drunk with another boy in a utility room one night. They didn't get very far before almost getting caught :^D #oc

#daOCqotd #nsfw Yuriels first time was in his late teens with an orlaisian girl his age who accompanied her parents to the Necropolis. Yuriel (still novice then) cared for her and they had some sweet weeks together, both unexperienced. When she had to leave, they were in tears but with no regrets.

Ooh I haven’t thought what Devon’s first time would be like, but it was with Dairren, the guy you can sleep with in the origin. They have a friends-with-benefits type thing while trying to convince her parents to let them marry. The fic more or less starts with them getting dressed in the armory lol

1st time through: Mira's first time was with Blackwall in the barn. She didn't think it was perfect, she knew he was still holding something back, and when she woke up alone and finally learned the truth, it (and he) destroyed her. She left him in Val Royeaux, and stayed broken. (1/2) #OCMira #nsfw

TW/CW: CSA heavily implied, no details #nsfw Sin was 'adopted' by an elderly man not long after he arrived in Antiva. At first it seemed to be out of goodness, but it didnt stay that way. Without anyone to turn to and still lost in grief, it was easier to just go along with things.

🦜 Rodrigo’s first time was with a fellow Crow that was in his training group. his partner was so bad Rigo swore off bottoming ever again 💀 that was the beginning of top!Rigo but even after trying it again (with trusted partners and only occasionally), he still prefers to top #nsfw #daOCqotd

Ninimels was while he was out hunting with Tamlen. Theyd fooled around before, but were both too nervous and unsure of how to go further. Before they left for the trip, the Keeper had handed them a small journal... it detailed everything. They had a good time, tho clumsy and awkward.

Freya's first time was rather disappointing. It was when she was 16 with her mentor's nephew who she was secretly dating. It was rushed, rough and rather painful. He then immediately left after it was done leaving her confused and emotional. #nsfw Cw ⬇️⬇️⬇️- SA of a minor, rape, grooming, abuse

#daOCqotd first time what? oh, you mean sex? rukah is ace and her first time was also the last because she hated the experience and never did it again. i didn't establish how old she was at the time, but definitely very young.

#SylIngellvar #nsfw CW: CSA Syl’s introduction to sex was during his toddlerhood, due to his Master’s abuse. He didn’t know what was going on, but he knew he didn’t like it. Afterwards, he warned Syl not to tell anyone. So, he didn’t.

Got wordy so here's the Lavellans again <3 Not going into details since I don't do nsfw much, more pondering on their relationship pasts.

My heart wants it to be another first she shares with her friend Mira. Late teens, somewhere super unsexy in the circle like a supply closet or an unlocked classroom, awkward and clumsy and there’s a lot of giggling. It doesn’t last, but it always matters.

#nsfw #OC 💛Vax’s first time was awkward & rushed. He was 16 & out hunting with a member of his clan when they decide to pass the time as hormone-addled teens do. 💙Gareth’s first time is with Neve in the Lighthouse. She’s an excellent partner & helps him feel safe & comfortable the whole time.
