Summary
It was supposed to be a simple fetch and drop, with a little stop off in Llomeryn along the way for supplies. Crucial ones, like lacy underthings and a wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun from sensitive elven ears.
But then, of course, magic had to get involved and my bloody ship was stuck in three feet of ice in the middle of a Rivaini summer.Next time, my fee is going to be double.
The story though, odd as it was, only costs a few coppers worth of spirit wine and an hour of your precious time.

Summary
“You,” said Hawke, “are Varric fucking Tethras, bestselling author, badass rogue, charming son of a bitch. You’ve fought dragons. You’ve helped save Kirkwall, your home—“
“Save is a strong word.”
“—and you deserve happiness just as much as anyone else.”
Varric joins the inquisition, saves the world, and falls in love. Not necessarily in that order.Bookmarked by Cartadwarfwithaheartofgold (manka)

Summary
A Shakarian romance that goes above & beyond (or at least before & after) what we were given in the games - including eventually into Andromeda. Some canon, some AU - the characters don't always follow the arc they were given. This is my take on my favorite romance. Enjoy!
Title inspired the theme and was inspired by the song from The Greatest Showman.
**MATURE CONTENT WARNING** See individual works for specifics.
**BioWare owns the games and the characters (minus a couple smalls OCs), I'm just reveling in the love they gave us**

Fandoms: Dragon Age II, Dragon Age - All Media Types

Tags
Summary
Hawke’s spent an entire decade watching the city of Kirkwall go to shit. When Anders enlists her help making an explosive statement against an increasingly oppressive Templar presence, she's all in without question. But life on the run begins to lead them down a catastrophic path, and when Anders takes a reckless decision into his own hands, Hawke has to make a difficult choice that comes with a life altering set of consequences.
Her marriage is hanging by a thread. Old ghosts resurface at every turn, and help comes from the unlikeliest of places. All she has to do is learn to look past the person offering it.
The clock is ticking. Anders is a dead man walking. She’s determined to keep him alive.
Inspired by the album Feel.Love.Thinking.Of by Faunts.
Lovingly beta'd by ladymdc and laraslandlockedblues.

Making The Bird Sing: A Tale of Samson and Roman Hawke by Pikapeppa, Schoute
Fandoms: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age II
02 May 2021
Tags
Summary
Roman stared at Samson with a burn of anger in her gut. He had this look on his face that never failed to put her on edge: his lips were a sarcastic curl of a smile, but the smile didn't quite reach the world-weary melancholy in his bloodshot eyes.
She sneered at him. "Fuck you, Samson."
He tucked his hands in his pockets, and his smile became a little bit sly. "Make me, Bird."
************************
This is the story of Schoute's Roman Hawke and Raleigh Samson, who Deserved Better Than What Bioware Gave Him™. This fic will span from the start of DA2 through the end of Inquisition.
Most chapters will be smutty. I'll say which ones in the author's notes at the start.

Summary
“What’s your name?”
“Bethany Hawke,” she says, and sticks out her hand like an idiot, the way her mother always taught her –– palm down like a lady, not a secret apostate, or an up-jumped refugee, or whatever she is now.
He takes her hand, thumb brushing across her knuckles the way a well-brought up man’s lips might. “Alistair. Welcome to the Ferelden Wardens.”

Summary
Fenris didn't hate Anders, not really.
Once upon a time, but not so long ago, an elf fell in love with a mage.
A canon-divergent AU set during Act 2, in which Anders is taken to the Circle.
'Cause here's the thing: to know how it ends, and still begin to sing it again - as if it might turn out this time...I learned that from a friend of mine

Summary
The year is 9:26.
Varric is spymaster for his brother Bartrand in the Merchant's Guild. He's never published a book, never wielded his signature crossbow, and never had his heart broken by a certain ingenious Smith girl named Bianca.
This is the story he will never tell.
(A super canon-adherent attempt at recreating Varric's backstory from all the half-truths and misdirections. Rated T for sensuality and bad words lol.)

Where The Winds Of Fortune Take Me by Pikapeppa, Schoute

Summary
Fenris handed Piper a salt-stained WANTED poster. “You might want to see this,” he said flatly.
She took the poster with a grin. “Hah! The only thing I should be wanted for is stealing Kirkwall’s most beautiful lady and most handsome commander for my crew.” She winked jauntily at Hawke and Cullen.
Cullen’s cheeks turned a charming shade of pink, and Hawke playfully fanned herself. “Why thank you, Captain,” Hawke purred. “Where are we headed next?”
Piper handed the poster to Varric, then lovingly wrapped her fists around the handles of the helm. “That’s the beauty of it, my friends,” she announced. “Any fucking place we like.”

Summary
The new white-haired bouncer at the Hanged Man was hot. That's about all that Hawke knew about him. But it wouldn't hurt to get to know a co-worker a little better, would it?
No, it wouldn't hurt. But it would involve more pining, red wine, and a lot more blood than she'd anticipated.
***************
Also known as: CRACK MODERN AU where Hawke and her BFF Piper Lavellan are bartenders at the Hanged Man, Varric is the owner of the Hanged Man, Fenris has a shady fucking past, and Cullen is a Good Guy Lawyer™. NSFW smut.This AU Fenris and Hawke are based on my canon Fenhawke, who you can read about in the rest of this series.

Summary
Hawke gingerly stroked Fenris’s green and glowing palm, then looked up at him with wide eyes. “Well, I guess that’s the end of our years in hiding, isn’t it?”
Fenris surreptitiously looked around. Everyone in Haven was staring at them, from the quartermaster to the soldiers and the refugees and the Chantry sisters.
He hunched his shoulders defensively. “So it seems,” he grunted. He didn’t like being stared at, and he never had. But with this blasted magical mark on his hand, it didn’t seem that he had much choice in the matter.
Little did Fenris realize that being stared at was going to be the least of his problems.
**************
IN A NUTSHELL: Fenris is the Inquisitor, and is not very pleased about it. Rynne Hawke, on the other hand, loves making new friends.
This fic is a sequel to my canon Fenhawke romance, which you can read in the rest of this series, particularly A Tantrum and a Know-It-All Grin. It covers the entire game, including Trespasser.Series
