  Summary

  “He could kiss Hawke once. Just this once. He wouldn’t have to think about it anymore—the whole question of it would be answered. The proverbial cat: killed, revived, and slinking away after, satisfied.

  It almost seemed tidy, put that way. It almost seemed rational.

  Varric didn’t feel rational.

  He felt like he was standing at the edge of a cliff.”

  -

  Varric has a one-night stand with his best pal Hawke right before embarking on an expedition to the Deep Roads together to make their fortunes. But it’ll be fine! Varric isn’t going to make it weird.

  (Varric makes it weird.)

  Summary

  "The people of the Inquisition pressed in further. Hawke glanced at Varric, and Varric saw—in the subtle movements of his eyes, brow, and mouth—that Hawke could read his desperate terror.

  And Hawke—

  The finest man Varric had ever known— The best friend Varric had ever had— The person Varric loved most in the world— The absolute bastard—

  Hawke winked at him."

  -

  The Champion of Kirkwall arrives at Skyhold, and Varric can't let him leave again. Not without telling him how he feels.

  Featuring a sly Iron Bull, a suspicious Vivienne, a star-struck Seeker of Truth, the first time Varric and Cole meet, and other cameos.
