hawkes + one hawke-lover

template cred.

[tsarinn]

the new veilguard teasers have me so excited and naturally that made me go back to my previous dragon age characters

wanted to draw them as they appear in prologues of their games vs what i imagine they look like at the time of da:v prologue

[featherypauldrons]

Find me on AO3 here for Dragon Age content featuring Anders, Alistair, Cullen, and more. Sometimes spicy, mostly gay. Various ships. Much of my work is 18+, so no minors. I don’t feel comfortable having anybody under 18 interact with me or my content in general anyway but I thought I’d make that clear.

My OCs:

Tristan Trevelyan (❤️ Cullen)

Tristan Amell (❤️ Alistair)

Mahanon Lavellan (❤️ Dorian)

Asharel Lavellan (❤️ The Iron Bull)

My Hawke is default Garrett Hawke (❤️ Anders) because I can’t bring myself to change a single hair on his head 😅

And here is me, because it has been a hot minute since I was last here. Now almost 8 years on testosterone, several mh diagnoses, and one top surgery later! :O

[fuckyeaharthuriana]

Some additions for your list of everything from my collection of pre-2020 modern retellings.

Mordred’s Curse (1996) and Merlin’s Gift (1997) by Ian McDowell, both Mordred’s pov. Haven’t finished reading them, but they’re interesting takes. Retains Monmoth’s casting of Mordred as the Queen’s lover.

The Green Knight (1975) by Vera Chapman. Alternates between Vivian and Gawain’s pov. Also have not finished reading.

Fang the Gnome (1988) by Michael Greatrex Coney. Takes a while for the Arthurian content to get underway, but Nyneve, human apprentice to the sorceress Avalona, eventually conjures up the world of Camelot. Major appearance by Tristan. Also includes Torre, Melin, Marhaus (Morholt), Palomides, Iseult, Arthur, Morgawse, Gawain, Galahad, and others I’m probably forgetting.

King and Raven (1995) by Cary James. OC Micah navigates the court of Camelot, ascending from fugitive to knight while bearing witness to the legend of Arthur.

Hawk of May (1980), Kingdom of Summer (1981), and In Winter’s Shadow (1982) by Gillian Bradshaw (Series title: Down the Long Wind). Makes the unusual choice of casting Bedwyr in the place of Lancelot as Gwynhwyfar’s lover.

Sword of the Valiant (1984) by Stephen Weeks and Henry Whittington. Inspiration for the Sean Connery Green Knight movie

In Camelot’s Shadow (2004) by Sarah Zettel. OC/Gawain adventure romance

Merlin’s Mirror (1975) by Andre Norton, sci-fi re-incarnation Arthurian tale

Sweet Black Waves (2018) by Kristina Pérez. YA Tristan and Isolde retold from the perspective of Branwen (Brenganae) first in a trilogy but I don’t know if the other two are Arthurian-related.

The Buried Giant (2015) by Kazuo Ishiguro. Haunting piece set in the post-Arthurian dark age Britain. Gawain makes an extended appearance towards the end.

Thank you so much!! Most of these are in the list but I will add the three missing ones!

Sword of the Valiant (1984) Sweet Black Waves (2018) The Buried Giant (2015)

I will tag this with "to add" so I will remember :D

[this is my first attempt at writing anything dragon age related.  i hope i did all right!  set in the three year span between act II and act III.]

Hawke awoke near dawn, judging by the soft, dim light from the open window. Far too early to be up on a rare day with nothing scheduled, but his body had grown accustomed to it over the last several years. He groaned as he stretched his tight, sore muscles - an apology playing at his lips in case he accidentally kicked Anders (which had happened before). But Hawke hit nothing. Only cold sheets. He finally sat up and, sure enough, Anders was not in bed. In fact, a quick scan of the room informed Hawke that his lover was nowhere to be found. Again. A heavy sigh escaped Hawke's lips as he threw his feet over the side of the bed. It had been just over two years since Anders had almost killed the mage girl (oh, and the near-war with the Qunari) and ever since then, he'd been acting... strangely. It left a sour taste in Hawke's mouth, if he was telling the truth - mostly because Anders refused to talk about it.

Hawke stepped over Barkspawn (a name coined jokingly by Carver long ago that ended up sticking) on his way out of the bedchambers, and the mabari merely stretched and grunted once, softly, still asleep. Light poured from the study's open doors, and Hawke sighed. Always at it with those damned books of his. Did Anders even sleep anymore? Hawke made his way downstairs, treading carefully so as not to disturb anyone, and stopped in the doorway of the study.

Anders' back was to him, clothed in Hawke's undershirt. It hung loosely on his thin, lanky frame as he hunched over the desk, writing furiously amid a mountain of books. Maker. When he fell into these moods, hardly anything could break them. Hawke huffed momentarily before clearing his throat, rather loudly, to make his presence known.

Anders jumped, but did not turn.  "How long have you been standing there, love?"

"Long enough."

His sigh was audible, even from several feet away, and his hand stilled on the page. "What time is it?"

"About dawn." Hawke sighed, wishing he could bring himself to say what he desperately wanted. "You ought to come back to bed, Anders."

"No, I'm - I can't."

Of course. "Did you even sleep at all?"

Anders leaned back against the chair, golden hair brushing the top of it, and sighed. "Er, perhaps an hour or two."

"Maker, Anders. Look at me."

After a moment, he did. His face was drawn tightly, brows knit together in deep thought and concentration. His eyes - those beautiful, amber eyes - were in stark contrast to his pale skin. And, Maker, he seemed even paler than normal. Dark circles marred the skin around his eyes and the scar he'd contracted from the battle with Ser Alrik - the one he never allowed to fully heal - appeared angrier than usual, a bright red line across his cheek. Suffice it to say, Anders looked awful. And Hawke's heart ached. He cleared his throat and softened his stance, hands falling to his sides.

"Anders, I - please, just come back to bed. Even for a few moments. I want to hold you."

Anders sighed heavily and looked away. He looked... old. Like he'd lived a number of lifetimes in less than forty years. "I can't, love."

"Why?"

"I can't tell you."

A derisive laugh left Hawke's lips before he could stop it. "Don't give me that, Anders."

He sighed once more and met Hawke's eyes. Pain lit his face. "You have to trust me. Please, love. Just trust me."

Trust. For such a small word, it held a massive amount of weight. At least to Hawke. Trust had almost killed him and Carver at Ostagar. Trust had nearly gotten him (and his family) cheated out of their rightful home. Trust had left him, Varric, Anders, and Bethany stranded in the Deep Roads. Maker, trust in his own self and his abilities had killed his mother. There were hundreds of other examples - and Anders knew them all. Yet he asked for trust? Hawke looked away, into the flames of the fireplace. "You know I cannot trust you blindly, Anders. I will not."

"Then don't do it blindly. Trust me because you love me. Trust me because I love you."

"Oh do you? I haven't been sure of that for months." The words came up like bile, and tasted worse in his mouth. And judging from the look on Anders' face - they hit their mark. He hung his head.

"I - you're right, love. I'm sorry. It - I just..." He trailed off into a sigh. And then he looked up and Hawke met those lovely golden eyes. His heart stuttered. "I wish I could explain. Truly, I do. But for now, all I can tell you is that this, all my studying and researching, it will lead to something bigger than me, and you." His amber eyes searched Hawke's face, as if imploring him. "All I ask is your support, love. Please. I promise, it will be worth it in the end."

Hawke looked upon him for a moment. And then another, and another. Maker, a single man should not be able to wield this sort of power over him. He'd known years ago, but it was as clear as ever now. He belonged to Anders, mind, body, heart, and soul. And damn it, he'd do anything Anders asked. No matter the cost. He crossed the room to where his lover sat, and he tilted Anders' head back with a finger under his chin. Anders trembled at his touch, soft eyes never leaving Hawke's.

"You know I trust you, Anders. More than I want to. And I would follow you to the ends of Thedas and beyond, if you just say the word. But..." Hawke closed his eyes, pride killing his voice. But don't hurt me. After everything, if he were to lose Anders too...

Anders leaned up and caught his mouth in a soft, slow kiss. It was the kind of kiss that made Hawke's heart break and he melted into it, taking Anders' face in his hands. And then Anders was standing, drawing Hawke against his lean body, pressing him so close but hardly close enough and Hawke wanted - longed - to vanish inside Anders' touch, to lose himself until there was nothing else in the world. Just him, and Anders.

He would not have his way. Anders drew back, slightly breathless, and leaned his forehead against Hawke's. "I love you. More than anything." Another kiss. This one was softer, a brief brush of his lips, and Hawke ached for more. Anders smiled and for a brief moment he looked as Hawke always imagined he'd looked while with the Circle. Young and passionate and fairly carefree, before being truly spoiled by the world and its cruelty.

Hawke closed his eyes. He couldn't bear to see that smile disappear, fade into tired, sorrowful Anders. The Anders being torn apart by Justice and templars. The Anders that seemed to carry the weight of the entire world on his shoulders. No, Hawke couldn't bear that. Not yet. It hurt too much, to see his love so wounded and broken and know there was nothing he could do. So he merely kissed Anders, and hoped that would be enough.

If only it were that simple.

8 for all your characters

8. What’s the weirdest thing they’ve ever eaten?

Thank you for the question! I’m going to answer this one in character for them. :3

Tristan Trevelyan:

Do you know, I’m not certain? Likely something that was plated up in a fancy part of Orlais. Back before I was taken to the circle, I was a rather fussy eater, so parties I attended when visiting Orlais often left me feeling rather hungry afterwards. I was mostly afraid to discover what I would be picking up from the platters.

Thankfully if you are careful, small boys can sneak around kitchens rather easily if one times it right.

Asharel Lavellan:

If a drink counts, I’m going to say the Well of Sorrows. It’s... weird. It tasted weirdly good, too. Perhaps that was the magic.

Mahanon Lavellan:

Most food that has been offered to me since the conclave has been weird, in my opinion. I have to say, my stomach was ill equipped for the sorts of things shemlen eat, it took a while for that to settle. I’m used to it now. That doesn’t mean I particularly like it.

Garrett Hawke:

Does the arse of a templar count? I got around a bit back in Lothering. That guy was kinky.

Tristan Amell:

Anything that Alistair made on the road likely counts! But I’ve had my fair share of weird dishes since living in the palace. Perhaps many people expect the answer of Anderfels Despair Ham. That is nothing in comparison to the exotic creatures that a particular visiting chef had thought to serve about seven months ago. Perhaps he thought we were above simple dishes that taste good. I believe he was from somewhere in the Marches- Wycome perhaps? I couldn’t even tell you what it was he served, but I believe he said it was the tail of a cetus. I’ve never heard of such a creature, but it was... interesting. Even Alistair failed to empty his plate. That should be considered an achievement!

[johaerys-writes]

96-99 for Tris and maybe your Hawke too?!

From this OC asks list!

Thank you so much for this ask BB! And ILY so much for asking about both my boys :"))

96. What is their greatest weakness?

Tristan: His tendency towards self destruction, and his own pessimism. 

Aedan: He hasn't always taken things seriously, and sometimes he still doesn't. That results in things going terribly wrong becauce he just thought things would work out on their own.

97. What is the greatest strength?

Tristan: His determination. His kindness. His empathy. 

Aedan: His ability to change and adapt, as well as his inherent optimism.

98. Something that they regret?

Tristan: Boy, oh, boy. He regrets a ton. His biggest regret by far is not being able to save his sister.

Aedan: Aedan is not really a person that has many regrets. As far as he's concerned, what's done is done and there's no reason to wish he could have done something differently. If he does regret something, though, that would be letting Anders go after he started hearing the fake Calling.

99. Biggest accomplishment?

Both Tristan and Aedan consider their biggest accomplishment to be their lending support to the mages. They do both have a soft spot for them :)

Sapphire’s WiP Wednesday OC Introduction - Part I

Well, I wanted to show my OCs and @kemvee shouted: “YES PLEASE!”. So, blame her for the following masses of text and posts. :D Let’s start with: 

Light and Shield (original title: “Licht und Schild”) (because that’s my big main story and the wellspring of everything)

Mina Russelton

She is my main OC I started planning back in 2017!  Mina is a human mage from Ferelden. She has porcelain-hued skin, crystal blue eyes and very long fire-red curls. She is 5'6’’ tall (1,70m) and has a slim figure, she is a member of the Small Tits Club.   Mina was born 9:16 near Southreach. Her mother was waiting-maid at the court of Arl Bryland, there are some rumours about her potential father. Her magic manifested when she was three years old which makes her the youngest case of magical ability that was ever documented (in my headcanon). (In my headcanon I decided that) The power of a mage can be measured, amongst other things, by the age at which their magic shows. Accordingly to this, she is extremely powerful but has enormous difficulties controlling this, especially at a young age.  Mina causes an explosion which partially destroys Arl Bryland’s castle, kills her mother (and other people) and he commits her to the templars. So she ends up in Fereldan Circle. She has a talent for fire and explosions. She gets to know Cullen in Kinloch and has quite a strong relationship to him, despite the fact that he is a templar and she is a mage. The circle is her home and her family, but she knows she is not truly free. On the other hand, she is aware that she needed the education and discipline to master her magic, which makes her rather hesitant about the Mage-Templar-War.  Mina chose battlemage as her specialisation, trained from the circle and later Cassandra. It’s her dream to become a Knight Enchanter that she can never fulfil. Solas discovers her deep unconscious connection to the power of the Fade and assumes, that’s the well of her unpredictable and to disaster tendering magic. He helps her to regulate this connection which makes it easier for her to control her magic. But she doesn’t become a rift mage. Later she shows interests in shapeshifting. Mina sucks at healing magic.  During the events of Inquisition, she rebuilds her friendship to Cullen and fell in love with him. He needs a long time to come to terms with his feelings for her and even longer to make them public. They have a “secret” relationship for several months (Dorian, Cassandra, Leliana and the Inquisitor know).  Mina spends a lot of her free time reading books, likes painting and acquires a reputation as a prodigiously Wicked Grace gambling woman, but is hopeless at chess. She loves strawberries and hates raisins. She doesn’t like alcohol very much (“fereldan beer makes me wanna puke”) but has a soft spot for sweet red wine. Mina is afraid of horses and not a got rider. She is friendly to most people and has dry wicked humour with her friends and camerades, she likes taking care of the younger kids in the circle and tends to be unwary when she researches. She prefers taking matters in her own hands, but have a disposition to impatience. Mina has sworn off religion and doesn’t have a high opinion about the Maker or the Chantry. However, she is able to recite the Chant of Light almost entirely from memory.  She is friends with Varric and Dorian and has a good relationship with Iron Bull and his Chargers. At the start, she is afraid of Cassandra but grows quite fond of the seeker. She doesn’t like Vivienne, but she respects her for her political understanding and her magical talent.  Varric calls her Tittle, Dorian Luv, Iron Bull names her Firebug. Cullen calls her sometimes Love. Solas changes from her name to Da'len, later Falon. Years later, at the events at the Exalted Council, he calls her Lethallan once. Mina is hetero, demi-sexual and infertile for some years because of an ovarian trauma. She thinks, she shouldn’t have kids of her own. Cullen and she marry 9:44 Dragon. Mina calls him and his siblings her family.  She is left-handed and has terrible handwriting.

2. Tristan Trevelyan

Herald of Andraste and later Inquisitor in Light and Shield. Mage of Ostwick Circle, Knight Enchanter specialisation and romances Dorian. He sides with the mages and treats them as equal, makes softened Leliana Divine. Quite flirty at the beginning, grows more earnest as Inquisitor, likes to joke and laugh. Is a big supporter of Cullen’s lyrium withdrawal and helps him overcome his insecurities and issues. Becomes one of Cullen’s best friends and cares deeply for him, plays matchmaker for Josephine and Blackwall and has a strong right hook, according to Bull. 

3. Ser Raphael 

Templar from Wycome who joined the Inquisition at the very beginning. Is a righteous man, believe in mages and wants to protect them from any harm. Becomes Mina’s lieutenant and cares for her (and makes jokes about her habit of collecting books), as well as his whole unit. Dies in Adamant.

4. Ser Albert Dubois

Becomes Knight-Commander of the Circle of Ferelden four years after the Blight (in my headcanon, Greagoir dies under unclear circumstances, maybe because of age and/or lyrium addiction). He is from Orlais and a cruel man, who justifies his actions with “his right as a man of faith” and the Chant of Light. He rules in Kinloch Hold with terror, violence and rape. For four years, Mina is one of his favourite victims until the mages revolt and flee. He knows about Mina’s great magical power and wants to break her mind and enslave her, which he fails at. After the rebellion, he goes underground, brings her phylactery in his possession and kidnaps her later. He thinks Cullen “stole” Mina from him and demands her back. Tristan takes him prisoner, judges and executes him. 

5. Lynna Theirin (née Amell)

Hero of Ferelden and later Queen at Alistair’s side. Was Mina’s best friend back at the circle (vice versa) and misses her, when she got recruited by Duncan. Arcane Warrior and Spirit Healer, survived the Blight by Morrigan’s dark ritual. When Hawke becomes Champion of Kirkwall and the connection to the noble family Amell becomes public, she is finally able to marry Alistair (in my headcanon). Visits Skyhold during the events of Inquisition with her husbands where she and Mina meet again. Goes later on her quest to find the cure for the Taint. 

And a lot of “small named NPCs” with short appearances. Next part next week @kemvee? :)
