WIP Wednesday

[glitteringstars]

Hawke is nowhere to be found.

It’s like Varric’s soul had been ejected from his body and a spirit is piloting it; Varric shoves past bodies closing in around the Inquisitor—too close, he cannot breathe. When Enid’s gaze meets him, the elven woman freezes. She’s ashen and sweaty.

“Where’s Hawke?”

He sounds like a lost child, even to his own ears.

“Where’s Sorley, Enid?”

Enid’s expression breaks and hardens in one jerk of her head. She walks past him, momentarily pressing her hand onto his shoulder. She squeezes it then walks forward, her voice sharp and solid as she announces the cost of their victory.

GUESS WHICH BITCH GOT TO THAT CHOICE! GUESS WHO CHOSE SAD VARRIC HOURS! AGAIN!!

All silliness aside, I am in an angsty-writing mood, and that turning point feels absolutely rife with fun little moments. This WIP doesn't quite have a title, but it's definitely going to be a lose collection of stories centered around the aftermath of the Fort Adamant assault. So far, planned plotlines include:

• Varric & Cassandra interactions. I ship these fuckers so hard, though I think a lot of this will be solely platonic relationship building. Unless
• Blackwall's whole personal quest and his relationship with my Inquisitor, Enid. In the game, he always places her on such a pedestal, so I think it'll be fun to have that get a little broken when it comes to Enid's backstory lol
• My Hero of Fereldan just showing the fuck up. I know why Bioware didn't want to insert the Warden into Inquisition, but I really think it a missed opportunity. Like??? Morrigan, Leliana, and Cullen are all there, so there's some very funny interactions that could happen. Also Fiona getting absolutely fucking grilled by a Alistair-romanced Grey Warden.
• Morrigan just avoiding the Warden because the last proper interactions they've had was "let me bang your boyfriend" and "what do you mean we're still friends????" Like, how the FUCK do you recover from that?
• I also have a fun Iron Bull/Warden interaction (read: non-romantic smut) twirling in my brain. So many characters involved with this scene are bad with feelings lmao
• Anders not having a good time with Hawke's death. How much of a plot point is it beyond references are a bit beyond me atm, but it'll still be there.
