the most romantic thing about the solas romance is how much love there is for lavellan in the act of breaking up with her.
solas breaks up with lavellan because it is objectively what is best for her. not because it's what he wants. not because his mission is just more important than she is. because he loves her.
it is in lavellan's best interests that she know who she falls in love with and has agency in that decision. solas breaks up with her because he is not entirely truthful about who he is. she can't make an informed choice about being with him without the truth. and because solas isn't ready to tell her the truth, he backs off.
whether we like it or not, fen'harel is part of who solas is, even if solas is part of his genuine character, the face he shows us in DAI is not all of him.
what is so sexy about solas showing his love for her in this way is he sees the clear power imbalance between them (him with all his secrets), and he chooses her well being over his desires, he puts the power back in her hands - by breaking up with her. he says, "it isn't right of me to continue with this when you don't actually know me". only his reveal in trespasser opens the door for her to accept him, or deny him.
ultimately, it is up to lavellan to decide what is in her best interests. does she accept solas, now knowing the truth, or does she say "wow yeah i actually can't live with that" and walk away?

The Wolf and The Wind, from Dragon Age: Inquisition (x)
Zephyr Lavellan and Solas, commissioned by the lovely @briarfox13! :)
I’ve done so many Solavellan cards before, but this is the first time that I got to actually paint Solas!
We give Solas a lot of flack for grabbing your ass and then dumping you five seconds later but listen Fenris does the exact same thing. If you watch his first romance scene when Hawke’s got him pinned against the wall he full on grabs your ass and then guess what dumps you like an hour later. I think this is just an angsty elf thing. If the elf LI in the next game grabs your ass run
What if Solas had to reveal his identity before he anticipated?
I spent too much time making this, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
I heard there’s been Dread Wolf news...
Well this definitely took me too long to finish, but I made it! And again many thanks to the lovely people over on the Solas Discord server who helped me with the drawing and were kind enough to buy this as a print ;w;
