#Rowan the Hawk

[acourtofquestions]

Anyone else have the permenant problematic mental image of a Seagull instead of a Hawk?😅😂 … cause every time I hear him described as a white bird flying I immediately picture Rowan as this cute little 1989 seagull & proceed to forget everything because it’s TOO funny🤣

Autumn Hawke and Anders - Family Timeline (Post-DA2)

Because Anders and Autumn deserve happiness… or at least some family chaos.

��� 9:37 Dragon – The Chantry Explosion

Autumn Hawke is about 3–4 months pregnant but hasn’t told Anders yet. His secretive behavior and growing distance have left her unsure how he’d react to the news.

Anders blows up the Kirkwall Chantry, and everything goes to hell.

Amid the chaos, Autumn might have screamed, “YOU IDIOT, I’M PREGNANT!” at him.

Timing, 10/10.

After the chaos they flee Kirkwall together.

🌩 9:38 Dragon – Baby Storm is Born

Storm Hawke is born during a violent thunderstorm

Autumn is TERRIBLE at names and may have gone a little bit literal.

Anders becomes the epitome of anxious parenting, haunted by memories of mages children being taken from them at birth at the Circle, the knowledge of families being ripped apart when children's magic manifests, and the horrors he likely saw in Darktown - I can imagine child mortality was high there.

Justice is weirdly obsessed with the “pure and innocent” baby.

Autumn struggles to hold her family together at first, afterall she has lost people so many times at this point part of her expects it to happen again.

✉️ 9:42 Dragon – The Inquisition Calls

Varric writes to Autumn, asking her to join the Inquisition. She agrees, leaving 5-year-old Storm with Anders. (He’ll be fine, right?)

Autumn doesn’t know she’s pregnant (again), but she realizes while at Skyhold.

Varric finds out before Anders does.

When she gets home, Anders does a health check and discovers TWINS.

Cue even more overprotective dad energy.

🍃 9:43 Dragon – Holly and Rowan Are Born

Autumn gives birth to twins - Holly and Rowan.

The family relocates again to keep the kids safe.

⚡️ 9:44 Dragon – Storm’s Magic Manifests

At age 7, Storm accidentally starts summoning lightning during a tantrum. Anders starts training him immediately, and Justice becomes even more overbearing.

Storm’s magic cements his role as the big brother trying to protect Holly and Rowan.

🌟 9:51 Dragon – Holly’s Magic Manifests

At 8 years old, Holly heals an injured bird, showing a natural talent for healing magic.

Anders begins training both Holly and Storm, while Rowan learns rogue skills from Autumn.

💀 9:55 Dragon – The Blight Incident

Storm (17), Holly (12), and Rowan (12) explore some caves near home and encounter darkspawn.

Storm is injured and contracts the Blight.

Devastated, Anders and Autumn turn to Bethany (now a Grey Warden) for help.

Storm survives the Joining and leaves home, though he stays in touch.

Holly and Rowan are shaken but become determined to protect each other.

🌀 9:58 Dragon – Veilguard (here is where the timeline diverges as to make it work I have pushed Veilguard back by 6 years)

Storm (20) is now a Grey Warden and is roped into some shit by Varric.

3. A letter from Rook to someone in their faction

@black-rose4 Thank you!!!!! 💜 Using this Rook Codex Entries prompt list. This one is a bit self indulgent because it covers a couple of choices from my world state that weren't touched on during Veilguard.

3. A letter from Rook to someone in their faction [Where Legends Vanish] Rowan.

I’m writing to you because Isabela’s going to spend weeks locked in her cabin, just staring at the seal on the envelope, and it’s safer this way, since the Lords don’t consider any amount of gold good enough to justify opening a seer’s correspondence.

We made it out of Weisshaupt. By the skin of our teeth, but almost nothing else did. I can count the remaining wardens down to a few dozens. The events of that night are still a blur most of the time, with nothing but the thought of getting my crew across the finish line racing through my head. If I had trouble sleeping before, now I can’t even close my damned eyes without seeing a horde of rabid darkspawn lunging at me.

But I still tried, you know? For Isabela. For Varric. We crossed the libraries and vaults but couldn’t find any mention of Hawke.

A couple of days ago, I went back to check on the remaining Wardens that settled in Lavendel, lend any help we could. So I started asking questions. Didn’t expect much, but then someone pointed me towards their make-shift infirmary, said one of the First Warden’s old guard made it out; after seeing the state of that poor bastard I don’t know that I agree.

At first he seemed willing to talk, either cause I was the only one able to spare the time, or because it reminded him of better days, but he said he was at Weisshaupt in 9:41 when the Wardens were expelled from southern Thedas. (Turns out Magister Pavus wasn’t bluffing after all). Said Hawke arrived with them, but when I asked where they went after, he suddenly turned tight-lipped. Tried to sell me a story about how he couldn’t remember, with all the fighting that was happening within the Order, but after spending so much time among the Lords I can smell rat shit when it’s on the table. Had to remind him there’s no one left to give a damn about the fortress’s secrets and also had to part with the chocolate I brought for the blacksmith’s daughter, but it got him talking.

Rowan - Hawke went into the fucking Deep Roads. And that’s not even why he was avoiding my questions…. Isabela’s going to hate this - while she was there, Hawke learnt that Anders had passed through Weisshaupt. THAT Anders. The one in Isabela’s and Varric’s stories. Has to be. That’s how I found out he was a Warden. Guess both left that part out for a reason.

He refused to speak anything coherent when I tried to push for more information about the events, so this next part is a bit of a patchwork: seems like Anders returned to Weisshaupt looking for an Orlesian Warden Commander or something like that, someone he knew? Based on how his entire face darkened, it wasn’t anything pretty. He mentioned something about deserter wardens, about old feuds on how to cure the blight, all things I told Evka and Antoine to look into, but from what I gathered, a couple of years back, this one Warden Commander caused a schism and disappeared into the Deep Roads taking with them almost half the Order that was stationed at the fortress at that time. He mentioned something about their approach towards the darkspawn and the blight being unethical? Then, years later, Anders shows up and there’s a whole argument about turning him in or judging him as a Warden. He finds out the Warden Commander is gone, asks for passage into the Deep Roads, same way they went, and the Wardens agree as they consider it suicidal - at least he meets his end like any other Warden. And like a hole that keeps eating people, same story when Hawke arrives. She finds out which parts of the Deep Roads Anders went through, and against the Wardens’ warnings she follows. And …she’s gone.

I… don’t know what to do with this, Rowan. Maybe that’s why I am actually writing to you. I don’t even know if it’s something I want to tell Isabela. There’s no closure in it. But I don’t want to hold it from her either. She’s going to pretend it changes nothing and then she’s going to drink herself to oblivion and back. So I leave it with you. She listens to you. She allows herself to cry and get angry and drop the cynical act when it’s just you. And I know you’ll find a gentler way than I ever could to speak to her.

Thing is… I think I get Hawke; why she did that. From what Varric said about Anders, he might have been a mess, but he was their mess. Looking back at what happened at Weisshaupt, I almost lost Davrin to the archdemon; almost lost Lucanis. All of that cause I was so focused on what we were meant to do that I failed to see them. To see their own struggles. And it cost us so much, but it could have cost us everything. I think that’s how Hawke feels. So wherever she is, if she is still breathing, she’s trying to fix that. Hope Isabela can understand it too.

Love, Rook Magdalena.

i’m just having a blast this playthrough and recording things that make me laugh

Meeting your hero, expectation vs. reality

Thanks so much @ehiiehn for another awesome commission!

Damn Buzzard

[vigilskeep]

theoretical full hawke set:

keir hawke (he/him). andersmance. circle bethany. red with blue for flavour. sword & shield warrior, reaver, fierce fereldan dog lord who really just wants to keep his people safe (not that that ever works out)

alanora hawke (she/her). sebdivorce. warden carver. blue with purple for flavour. buff force mage who always tries to mediate, and sides with the templars right up until the, both metaphorical and the actual quest, last straw

aidan hawke (he/him). isabelamance. templar carver. purple with blue for flavour. blood mage, ambitious and defiant, charming and kind, something of a taste for luxury. ended up having more of a role in the chantry explosion than varric will ever admit

mairi hawke (she/her). fenrismance. warden bethany. purple with red for flavour. archer rogue, kind of a bitch, will say anything to rile up a response out of people. all sharp edges, and also always looks a little like she just got fished out of the harbour. my Scrungly. soft spots for fenris and large amounts of explosives only

rowan hawke (they/them). merrillmance. blue with red for flavour. spirit healer. very gentle-hearted, hates violence, struggles over the course of the game with unlearning fear of their own magic. i want to be absolutely clear that merrill is the high constitution buff battlemage in this relationship

An updated doll for Rowan! I have never played a rule follower (or a dude) before and I love him very much your honor

4+20 for your inquisitors

LMAOOOOOOO u know what i respect this

4. Was there anything in their life they were looking forwards to doing once the Conclave was done?

i don't think isra expected to make it out of the conclave alive - she's a resolutionist who was involved in the kirkwall circle rebellion and the ostwick circle rebellion. she was fully being brought to the conclave to be tried, and likely executed.

realistically, iskandar is likely expecting to return to the markham circle, and was probably making plans for resource allocation etc etc as the divine brought the other circles back under the chantry's thumb, there was going to be an influx of new mages there.

i always imagined that marya and han are both looking forward to the same outing - i had imagined an arlathvhen coming up in the next year, and likely clan lavellan was busy with preparations for that.

20. What does the Inquisitor think about Hawke?

isra, in every timeline/worldstate, is always close to the hawkes, on account of them having essentially adopted her after she fled ostwick. i'm still hammering out her relationships with rowan and miranda (rowan would be her canon hawke, but both rowan and mira are in my apotheosis stuff so!) since they're both relatively new hawkes, but i've really been chewing on rowan and isra, and rowan and bethany (esp as bethany is taken to the circle), and rowan and miranda relationship (and his feelings abt miranda's resistance as an apostate and being a red!hawke apostate specifically) and how that translates to his relationship with isra... and isra's own complex relationship/feelings about her older brothers...

marya and miranda, meanwhile, are as different as night and day. miranda is my f!mage hawke, pro-mage, anti-chantry and anti-templar, friendship andersmance 100% ride or die, and completely unapologetic/unashamed to be an apostate or let her feelings about any particular topic be known (much to rowan and carver's aggravation, they would both love for her to be more circumspect about things), which is almost in direct opposition to marya's much softer personality. i think they clash quite a lot, though i don't think miranda views it as a clash, but marya definitely harbours some Feelings about being spoken over or spoken to quite harshly. i don't think miranda has a lot of patience for her; that's not personal, but it feels like it is.

iskandar's hawke in his solo worldstate is actually joan. and, on the surface, i think she might seem like someone he should respect, but i don't think he fucking likes her lmao. joan's got a mostly blue personality, which i think he takes as lack of conviction, which he looks down on -- he would respect her more if she was wrong (i.e. had different values/priorities than he does) but at least insistent on what she believes in. i think there's also a small part of him that is... apprehensive? aghast? appalled? some combination of these? at joan having annulled the kirkwall circle knowing her sister was in it. but i don't think you'd be able to ever pry that out of him.

i think i imported default hawke for han's playthrough, but i've been contemplating the idea of having muna in han's solo pt because i think it would be an interesting combination. again, muna is an apostate but her upbringing means she behaves in a way that would be familiar to han, having been in the circle himself. but also heart palpitations at muna asking about dalish things for merrill... augh... im normal abt it [lying]

[teine-mallaichte]

Hi!!! Happy Friday 💕 I'm so so intrigued by Autumn and Anders and their little family!! So for any combo of Autumn and/or Anders and/or the kids, "Parent comforting child after a nightmare" from the parent-child prompts?

Argh fluff is hard 🤣

I ended up going with Anders comforting Holly, because I reckon by the time Holly and Rowan came along both Anders and Autumn are getting good at this parenting thing - in my mind they both had high levels of first time parent anxiety with their first kid due to all the loss in both their lives.

Anyway, yes: some post-DA2 Anders comforting his daughter. I'm thinking Holly and Rowan are about 5-ish here - I don't have kids myself so going off his friends kids and psychology textbooks to give a vauge idea for age development 😅

Holly's eyes flew open, wide with fear, her heart pounding in her chest as the remnants of the nightmare lingered, the shadows in her room seeming to stretch and grow in the quiet darkness. She sat up, trembling, her tiny hands clutching the covers tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Rowan was at her side almost instantly, her brother's hands clasping hers and he clambered into her bed.

“Holly,” he whispered gently, "it was just a dream.”

Holly turned to him, her small face streaked with tears. “It felt real, Rowan… like something was coming for me.”

“I won’t let anything hurt you," Rowan insisted, "I promise.”

Before Holly could respond, a voice came from the doorway, quiet but full of concern. “What’s going on in here?”

Holly gasped, pulling her hand from her brother's hold and scrambling out of bed. Running to her father. Wrapping her arms around his legs, trembling from head to toe. Anders immediately crouched down, gathering her into his arms, pulling her close. His hand moved gently through her hair.

“What’s wrong, sweetheart?”

“She had a bad dream,” Rowan called from where he sat on her bed.

Anders nodded at his son. Rowan, though so young, always seemed to know exactly what his sister needed. He squeezed Holly tighter, pressing a soft kiss to the top of her head.

“You’re safe, Holly,” he murmured, his voice low and comforting, “Nothing’s going to hurt you.”

Still trembling, Holly shifted slightly in her father’s arms, her voice muffled. “But it felt real…”

Anders’ hand moved gently to her face, wiping away the tears as he spoke in a softer tone. “Sometimes the Fade can be a confusing, even frightening place, sweetheart. But I promise, we’ll always protect you. We’ll keep you safe.”

Holly nestled into him, her sobs slowing to soft, hitching breaths as she clung to him, her small hands fisted tightly in his shirt. She could feel the steady beat of his heart, grounding her in the comfort of his presence.

Rowan, not one for many words, stood and padded quietly across the room. His voice, soft yet filled with resolve, broke the quiet. “Dad, maybe I could sleep next to Holly tonight?”

Anders looked at his son, a smile pulling at his lips as he nodded. “Would you like that, Holly? For your brother to keep watch over you?”

Holly’s small, tear-streaked face lifted, and her voice quiet and fragile as she nodded. “Yes, please."

Anders gently lifted Holly from his arms, cradling her against him as he carried her back to bed. Carefully pulling the covers back over her. Holly’s eyes fluttered shut for a moment, but she stirred when she felt Rowan slide in next to her.

Anders gave them both a reassuring smile, brushing a lock of hair from Holly’s forehead. “You’re both safe,” he said, “your mother and I are nearby if you need anything.”

Rowan nodded, his arm slipping around Holly pulling her close. “I’ll keep her safe, Dad,” he whispered.
