Cherith

Editor-in-Chief at GamingAngels.com, Business Analyst, Writer, Knitter, Knitting Instructor, Reader, Gamer, Music Lover and Artist. Not necessarily in that order, and rarely all at once.

Most likely, here on Tumblr, you're going to see a ridiculous amount of anything Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, DC Comics and Doctor Who. And other myriad geek culture things.

I created the Dragon Age and Mass Effect random pairing/prompt generators and LOVE to see what writing or art people come up with after using them. I also run Dragon Age Drabbles on Tumblr to give people daily prompts.

I'm Cherith on LiveJournal and DreamWidth, AO3 and @Cherithe on Twitter. I've also got a fair amount of drabble fic type posts here on Tumblr for random things (mostly Dragon Age).  You can read them here, provided all the tags work properly.  :D

Feel free to send me things through my Ask Box, TumblrMSG or Formspring.

Fic: Like I Bleed - B is for Bann

Letter B in Teagan’s world, from the War is Never Cheap Here universe. (Letter A is here.)  Links to Teagan’s letter “B”s from the other two alphabets, are at the bottom.

B is for Bann

Teagan had never really striven for more than the Maker had set in his path.  It was only by virtue of timing and birth that had placed him where he was.  He knew to be thankful for the time he had served the bannorn, that the people of Rainesfere were loyal to him - more loyal at times than he thought he had any right for them to be.  The few dark fields that no one had returned to farm, sat barren - ever a reminder of a pointless war.  It had worked out in the end; the Wardens had come to settle both Loghain and the Blight, and in the end, he had been on the right side.

It had brought him fallow fields, a starving bannorn and little else.  It brought him work and nightmares, and heartache until Ser Cauthrien came to Rainesfere.  For her, he might have to give it all away, not because he wanted to, but because he didn’t know that the bannorn would stand with him, if he stood with her.  She had burned those fields, her army had fought against them, intimidated them.  When he had stood against her, his people had stood and fought with him.  
 
That was the trouble with love, he supposed.  Sometimes it gave you tough choices, not the kind of earth-shattering decisions that saw generations changed at the outcome, but smaller ones that still found men like Teagan awake when the sun rose, wondering if love was worth the possibilities.
