Pairings: Past Alistair/Warden Tabris, Anders/Warden Tabris
No Warnings for this Chapter
Summary:
Something about the palace's confined compound felt oddly familiar to Anders. Maybe it was the cramped small quarters, the guards around every corner, or the whispering behind hands as he walked past. Nevertheless, he tried to set aside his discomfort and concentrate on the talking points Zukal had asked him to go over earlier that morning. “The chantry teaches us that Andraste calls for magic to serve man. Is it not fair to assume that without the necessities man will become desperate? Does the thief not resort to crime only when at their most dire circumstances?” he read lazily off the thick parchment, “You realize this sounds ridiculous?” “It sounds ridiculous when you read it with a complete lack of conviction,” Zukal called over her shoulder as she busied herself with braiding her hair back. He tried to focus once more on the words in front of him but felt his eyes drifting back towards her till he gave up entirely and watched her deft hands weaving through the strands of her hair. Idly he daydreamed about trailing his fingers through her hair and inhaling its scent.

The reasons I love the bug where Zevran can rock up in DA2 and DAI's war table mission despite the player having chosen to kill him in DAO is because I remember the unbridled glee gamers had at killing him for flirting with their male Warden.
The reason I dream of Fenris, Anders, and Isabela receiving equitable consideration and dignity in discourse is because I remember the response to their characters outside progressive bubbles.
Anders had a whole homophobic manifesto written about him and sent to DA2's head writer (who's gay btw). Gamers would be proud of handing Fenris back to his slave owner because Fenris was 'difficult'. (Of course the recently escaped slave is prickly and angry). Certain fans still enjoy telling you how they kill 'the terrorist' on every Anders post, evidently because of his actions, transparently because he's a mentally unwell queer "SJW" they feel vindicated in killing. Any mention of Isabela must also apparently include slut-shaming when promiscuity is a fine response to being a former child bride who's free of their cruel and possessive husband. Isabela fearing commitment and being sexually open is not an invitation for dehumanization. I play DA2 with the polyam mod, so I could be wrong, but I always felt Isabela and PurpleHawke were well matched there anyway.
We've come far in terms of accepting diversity in videogame storytelling, but cycles of controversy around queer romance, diversity, and sex in videogames is an old one. The difference being that the industry has mostly stopped catering to conservative and contemptuous discourse now and for that I'm glad.

I am, once again, begging for a continuation of the warden’s story 🙏
I know it’s super unlikely, but I would love to see the awakening gang travel with the warden to find the cure to the calling (Also I want Anders and Justice there but I know it’s just wishful thinking 😭)

I did it. I've posted the summer's brain rot fic. It's prewritten so this will be uploaded at least weekly. Please leave me some feedback if you do read this. I'd love to hear what folks think. Enjoy a small snippet under the break.
The weather was beginning to turn cold when another Landsmeet assembled in Denerim. The nobles and their entourages arrived in the early afternoon, as the frost-covered ground from the morning was now long forgotten in the warmth of the sun's rays. Landsmeets could be tedious multi-day affairs especially if agreements could not be made, which had been the case as of late. The reconstruction of the Circle’s Tower, Kinloch Hold, was the concern for this meet. Temporary repairs made during the blight had begun to degrade and a more permanent solution was needed soon. Alistair knew many of the nobles would disagree with wasting any of their rebuilding efforts on the Circle of Mages, considering it a matter for the chantry and their templars. On the contrary, there were enough in the group who counted mages within their bloodline who would care about the circle’s safety and comfort. It was bound to be a hotly debated topic.
As he greeted each of his guests warmly. One thing he was confident in was his ability to play host. He may not have been raised to become a king like Cailan had, but that was something that he felt set him apart from his half-brother. He was not bound by an ingrained decorum and often stepped outside of the strict boundaries that others tried to set for him. Just because he was King Alistair didn’t mean he would cease being Alistair altogether.
It was that lack of decorum that didn’t stop him from watching expectantly to see if a familiar face would show themselves. Not that he expected to see the Arlessa of Amaranthine walking through the palace doors. So far she had sent her seneschal to each landsmeet during the rebuilding efforts for the country. Still, news would always trickle in during these gatherings from gossiping nobles, their lips loosened by company and too much wine too early in the day. He never could resist eavesdropping.
“Did you hear of the darkspawn attack on Vigil’s Keep?” “All of the Orlesian wardens were killed in the fighting.” “Served them right for stepping into Ferelden unwelcome.” “The Hero of Ferelden showed the darkspawn what's what she did.” “I heard she had to conscript poor Arl Howe’s son. What a way to learn about your father’s legacy.” “Apparently the wardens will take anyone, Dalish, Dwarves, any neerdowell willing to follow orders.” “I hear they even accept apostates too! To think they would take that kind of risk.” “It doesn’t seem safe, you never know when they’ll snap and turn to blood magic or demons!” “It’s not any different from the elves. You can’t tell from lookin’ which ones have at least been civilized in an alienage and which are still wild beasts.” “Never thought I would live to see a ‘knife ears’ running Amaranthine, it does seem almost fitting after what Howe did to the alienage.” “I didn’t even know women could be wardens, let alone elven women.” “Such a pretty little thing. Too bad she never joins these meets. Could use something nice to look at.” “Do wardens take vows of chastity?” “I sure hope not!”
When the conversations inevitably became too inappropriate a pointed clearing of his throat was all that was needed to remind the present company that he was within earshot. He couldn’t control the thoughts of men as much as he couldn’t control his own at times, but it was better not to hear such unnecessary slander about someone he was once intimately close to. It was a good thing she’d never been to a landsmeet to overhear or else the offending nobles would be introduced to the gleaming edge of her daggers.
The afternoon dragged on and the flood of arriving nobles seemed to have slowed to a mere trickle. He was just about to call it quits and return to his quarters for a break when there was the announcement of another arrival.
“Presenting the company of the Arlessa of Amaranthine!” the crier shouted.
“Seneschal Varel, I nearly missed you. You’re not typically running this late,” he said, greeting the man warmly.
“Your Majesty, we had a slight delay upon leaving, but you trouble yourself too much with these pleasantries,” he replied, shaking the King’s outstretched hand.
“We? Have you finally decided to bring your lovely wife along with you? I was beginning to worry you’d made her up.”
Varel cleared his throat, “May I introduce to you the Arlessa of Amaranthine, Warden Commander Tabris.”
As Varel stepped to the side allowing her to greet him he could feel his stomach drop to his feet.

it’s a major oversight to me that there isn’t an option for a dumped HoF to have a lil rebound fling with anders in awakening. we’re talking about a man who later takes time out of his harebrained death spiral with the spirit/demon possessing him to shoot his shot with hawke, his dear friend of six years who is either in a committed relationship or a convoluted situationship that no sane person would go anywhere near. and you’re trying to tell me PRE-justice fuckboy anders with the earring wouldn’t be batting his eyelashes at the HoF like oooohh commander of the grey 😇😇 I heard that someone made you cry 😢😰🙅‍♂️ maybe you should… rest your head on my shoulder?? 🤭🤭 maybe you could tell me all about it, I’m a great listener 🥺🥺

Also I just find it really funny that both Zevran and Nathaniel were in the final battle with Meredith. Like one of them had to have told the Warden about Anders, right?
