   Summary

   Varric can’t see past his love for the people he cares about enough to realize that what he really needs to do is leave them in the dust where they belong, because they’ll never meet the expectations he has for them to be decent, or just good enough. People that will only fail him again, and again. People like Solas. People like Rook.
