Luke: You didn’t do anything, it was all Leia.

Fictober 2018 Day 9: “You shouldn’t have come here.”

[Warden x Alistair | Alistair seeks out Haneia ten years after the Fifth Blight, and wonders what it would have been like if they had gotten their happy ending.]

“You shouldn’t have come here, Alistair.”

“You know where she is.”

Morrigan’s brow furrows. “Oh? What makes you think that?”

Alistair seethes. “Because it was you and that damned qunari that carried her off! You tricked her into leaving!”

I’m doing a Fictober prompt list with these babies of mine, so here they are!

Haneia Mahariel:

Dalish elf, short white hair, green eyes (Taint darkens her eyes), dusky skin, generally quite short

Specializes as an archer rogue

Romances Alistair

A bit cheeky, but overall is very kind

Truly loves Morrigan and Sten, and wishes they would treat her more as an equal instead of someone they have to babysit

Ending: Rebuilding Grey Wardens with Alistair (who had to sleep with Morrigan, but they both did it to save Haneia)

Nianan “Ana” Hawke:

Short black hair, piercing blue eyes, pretty tall

Specializes as an archer rogue

Romances Fenris

Enormous comic and do-gooder that finds the hilarity in just about every situation

Loves all her companions greatly, people saying they fill the void her family left

Ending: Tried to stay out of the mage-templar conflict, but eventually sided with mages, but she had strong enough relationships with her companions that only Sebastian (whom she considered one of her closest friends) abandoned her; spared Anders

Sahaarial “Haara” Lavellan:

Dalish elf, auburn curly hair, maroon eyes (but Mark bled green into her eyes), dusky skin, tall for an elf

Specializes as sword and shield warrior

Romances Cullen

A fairly sullen, emotionless woman, but does wish good upon those who have proved they are worth it

Bull LOVES her, and has made it his duty to put her in a good mood (nicknames her Boss and Haari); Blackwall treats her like a child that needs protecting, and is constantly training her as if he were her father; closest with the advisors, lives for strategy

Ending: High court approval in Orlais with Gaspard on the throne with Briala behind him; Grey Wardens help Inquisition with Alistair alive and Nianan dead; Leliana inspiring Divine; mages create College of Enchanters; templars remain in Inquisition, with Templar Order disbanded permanently; Morrigan keeps Kieran; Inquisition focused on connections

Fictober 2018 Day 10: “You think this troubles me?”

[Warden & Morrigan | The usually dismissive Witch of the Wilds listens to Haneia’s fears one night, and Morrigan reveals something of her own.]

A thick fog lay over the freshly fallen snow, obscuring Haneia as she sits before the dying fire. She’s left Alistair to his deep sleep, warm enough without her, to think and reminisce.

The flames flicker, and the elf notices a figure sit next to her. The two are silent for a few moments before Haneia asks, “Do you miss the Korcari Wilds?”

“As they are, teaming with darkspawn?” Morrigan laughs. “I think not. Do I miss my mother and her hut? Even less.”

This does not help Haneia’s mood. “You grew up there, and you don’t miss it even a little?”

Thanks @schoute for tagging me!! Here’s a look into the rewrite of Silver Spires which I swear I’ll publish soon

The stillness of the falling snow entrances Haneia. Though that chaotic year had been nothing more than that, a year, it felt akin to eternity. Her two decades of peace had been a flash before her eyes in comparison. All these good things paled to the horror of that year.

“You will be nothing more than a snowdrift if you remain here.”
