A fanfic excerpt from Mick, calendar writer & beta, that reads:
Cullen reminds Cole of another man - not the templar, but the mage, the first, failed, feared. Like him, Cullen has the old song in his blood, not by birth, but by necessity. Like him, Culen has been filed away, forgotten, freed from one prison to fill another. Like him, Cullen has wounds that bleed, and bleed, and bleed, and never heal.

When they met, Cullen would not have thanked Cole for the comparison. Today, he might understand.

πŸ“Writer, editor, lore nerd. The kind of person who will conduct a detailed analysis of the blight and then spend hours working out what kind of chair the Imperial Divine sits on in the Argent Spire. Definitely not a blood mage.

In real life, I work in comics, film, television, and other stuff that doesn’t make me sound any less like a nerd.

I have written so many things I didn't expect since Veilguard came out. (By the way I should maybe say that "The Sacred and the Profane" was me, which is how I ended up on this thread speculating about the One Ring.)

And you'd have to worry about how the Ring might manipulate the Taint. (Which is not a sentence I was expecting to write on sfw Bluesky.)

... Extremely compelling point. I withdraw my suggestion. Give it to the mabari.

Aveline. Just... completely oblivious to the fact that it's the One Ring. Doesn't even realize it has an effect on other people. Thinks it's nice, but not her style.

The Sacred and the Profane
Sidney Sussex (SidneySussex)
Summary:
Tarquin has two bosses: the Divine at his day job and the Viper at his other job. This is mostly fine, because however Tarquin feels about the Viper, he knows he could not give a flying fuck about the Divine. Unfortunately, if there's one thing Tarquin is good at, it's creating problems for himself.

I want 10,000 versions of this fanfic, ASAP.

Dragon Age: Inquisition 100% co-playthrough with @aquamonstra.bsky.social. There's going to be so much unhinged lore dumping...

As much as I love all of your work, I have to admit that Tarquin's hair makes this one a genuine favourite.

Please tell me I've told you about the time I tried to get an unsigned copy of Gary's Business Unusual (there was a reason it had to be unsigned, I promise) only to be offered three signed ones and told that the unsigned ones were far rarer...

I'm so happy you enjoyed this! It's just so WEIRD and so NICHE and it was so much FUN and it's so nice that even something this odd has a place in fandom. (And there are absolutely more to come. We... might have a problem.)

What could go wrong when you put research enthusiasts in charge of the blight? WHAT INDEED.

That's simultaneously so kind and so surprising, but I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I wonder what it is about this strange AU that just seems to make sense.

I'd love to put Outside In in our local library if that's an option? They also love having new books with local authors/contributors. (Also I would 100% buy a set of faulty books for myself if you'd consider selling – shiny new ones remain beyond my means!)
