Black Emporium Letter

person4I'm signing up at the last minute, so place holder!
The one thing I'll put here for now is that I prefer for my Wardens and Inquisitors to be two-handed warriors (apart from the one obvious mage in the bunch), and to have their default names.
Edit: Sorry that it took me awhile to update this at all, I just don't have that much to add this time! Usually I try to keep the prompts in the details sections of my sign-ups short then flesh them out in my letter to avoid my recipient have to skim over lots of stuff they probably know nothing about to reach the fandom we matched on, but this time since I can safely assume you know everything I sign-up up with I just put all my prompts there!
So I guess I'll just be sticking with some basic likes and dislikes here. Let's see... I'm not a fan of full-universe changing AUs, but I do like for want of a nail style ones (basically, I wouldn't want a high school AU, but if you thought of a neat exploration of one of the pairings I asked for in a version of Thedas where Orlais won the war against Ferelden I'd be cool with that).
I prefer happy and/or funny stories over doom and gloom; if your story does take you to dark places I'd rather it at least have a hopeful ending.
Please no noncon, or major focus on non-canon character deaths.
I'm fine with stories that have sex in them, like a couple of my requests probably made clear, but I'd rather it not be a complete PWP. This doesn't mean you need to work up a full plot to wrap around it either, just having the character's thoughts give some insight into them beyond how much their into this and how good that feels.
A few shippy tropes I like:
* Characters going undercover for something as lovers and then actually falling for each other
* Two characters being caught alone in any sort of desperate situation (caught behind enemy lines, shipwrecked, ye old freezing not-so Canadian shack with a single thin blanket...) and falling for each other
* Characters who've returned safely from said desperate situation and now have to work through doubts about whether their feelings were just born out of that or if they'll last in their normal lives
* Epistolary stories (though I do like them to have the characters seeing each other in the flesh at some point!)
* Slow burn romance
