"I’m going to become a Grey Warden."

Carver is silent for a moment, then says, "You really couldn’t let me have one thing to myself?"

(or: varric dies, and hawke goes to the wardens.)

AKA hiiii i wrote a very long dragon age fic and i never post about my fics on here BUT i have never been more proud of a fic i wrote AND it’s not about a romantic pairing so i know it is going to be buried in ao3 tags! so if you like SIBLING DYNAMICS and VARRIC TETHRAS and HOMOSEXUALS and ROADTRIPS ABOUT GRIEF then please give it a read <3

Written for audenrain for Smut 4 Smut 2025!

The Wardens? Schismed down the Waking Sea. Weisshaupt? Fallen. The Veilguard? Devastated. Varric Tethras? In trouble with his wife.

The Hawke siblings? Somehow stay winning.
