Summary
After Hawke and Varric finally get together, life seems like a dream. Until Leandra's death turns it into a nightmare. Rocked to her core by her family's continued untimely deaths, Hawke decides to put distance between herself and the man who would insert himself into said family to keep him from suffering the same fate (to be fleshed out in a later fic). Now, after some time, they both begin to realize that they simply cannot stay away from one another. Some things cannot be stopped - like the desires of the heart... or the machinations of Mother Nature.

Summary
After half of the party splits up immediately following the chantry explosion, Hawke and family must navigate life in exile as they flee Kirkwall, though they can't help but return to the scene of the crime, or close to it. Slowly, the rest of the group begins to break off in the years leading up to Inquisition, a reality that threatens to unravel the last of Hawke's little found family.
Told from the perspectives of Varric, Hawke, and Isabela, the name was inspired by the idea that a mage apostate living in Kirkwall should have some alternate training to help them lay low. In short, I think multiclassing should have been allowed, and my Hawke would have been a mage-rogue.
