Summary
'“It’s good that you care, Varric. You… have a huge heart. That’s not a weakness.”
“Sometimes I wonder.” He muses under his breath.
Hawke gives his hand a gentle squeeze. “It’s not. And for what it’s worth, I’m here for you. Always. I know it’s not the same, but-”
Suddenly, their hands shift, and Hawke finds that Varric is lacing his fingers through hers seamlessly. Caught off-guard, heat explodes in her cheeks and she blusters for the words she was going to say. She finds none.
His eyes are molten staring through hers when she meets his gaze. She can’t comprehend what they say.“You’re more than enough, Hawke. You always have been.”'
-------------------
Following their confrontation with Bartrand in act two, Hawke meets up with Varric for a little heart to heart.
Aka. what I imagine would have happened if Varric had been made a romanceable option in DA2. Enjoy the fluff.

He just didn't count on how quickly things escalate.

Summary
Before the bombs fell, Lena, the middle child of three sisters, was drafted to serve a tour of duty in Anchorage on behalf of the US Marine Corps. A traumatic injury in the line of duty left her with an honorable discharge and the inability to readjust to civilian life in her rural hometown. After their father's death, she found herself volunteering to become the guardian of her younger teenage sister, Mary Elizabeth. If she had not, the responsibility would have fallen to Nora, the eldest daughter, who was finishing law school and trying to establish a family of her own in Boston.
210 years after the war, Nora awakens from cryostasis in Boston, unaware that her two sisters had also been placed in a separate cryostorage and had already been navigating life in the wasteland for over five years. Down in Mississippi, Lena is told by Mary Elizabeth that Nora and Nate might still be alive. Deciding the gamble was worth it, they made the arduous trek to Boston and found far more than just their family in the remnants of the old city.
The three sisters find their allegiances split between separate factions, despite their shared goal: to destroy the Institute and reunite Nora with her stolen infant.

Let Me Tell You How It Could End by musical_nostalgic
Fandoms: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age: Inquisition

Summary
Hawke makes it out of the fade but she and Varric have a fight of epic proportions that leaves them on shaky ground after the months he spent greiving her presumed death. Hawke has to figure out if she can do more than throw herself into danger, and Varric realizes he's been lying to himself for a long time.
**This is the first time I've written anything over 5k words and it was a serious challenge. It's not perfect, but I had a lot of fun! It's self indulgent, and not too deep, so don't let the "grief" tag throw you off too much. There's definitley a happy ending here.

Summary
Her eye twitches. It sounded familiar. It couldn’t be. It wouldn’t be. The lilting middle. The harsh end. No. It was him.
That gave her pause. There had to be a universe of coincidences to get them here--a multitude of variables that could have gone wrong but didn’t to be in this moment. She couldn’t tell him. Couldn’t tell anyone. She would keep it to herself--let the loneliness of knowing her soulmate was older than her by about 50,000 years strengthen her resolve.
