#varricxhawke

[elfgremlin]

things id still like to write: sequel to ad astra bc the first 2-3 chapters are already written by past me and i have the plot thought out, and madelynn hawke's entire story

[orxna]

There is a funny joke I made once that I just thought about again that needs to be shared. If Hawke is unromanced but closest to Varric then Orana does just assume they are in fact dating. Orana is a VarricxHawke truther.

Caller, You’re on the Air

@thehumantrampoline requested ‘radio DJ and frequent caller AU’

Fandom: Dragon Age 2

Pairing: Hawke x Varric

Word Count: 970

Rating: PG

“...and that was On Brand by the Dust Town Devils, released straight out of Orzammar this week. If you’re a fan of celebrating the destruction of social structures that keep the common folk down - and since you’re here, you do - check them out.

“For those of you just joining us, welcome to WK-one-one, Kirkwall’s only independent radio station. I’m your resident dog-lord, Hawke, here to bring you what you want when you want it, whether the Chantry likes it or not.

“It’s 2 am, which means it’s time to open the phone lines and let the weirdos get some air time. Questions, grievances, and musical requests are all welcome - although I will remind our listeners that we have already hit the maximum number of plays for ‘Rock My Boat, Baby’, so don’t ask, you know who you are. Caller on line one, you are on the air.” 

“Play me a song for a woman about to lose it all.” 

Hawke had taken a lot of weird calls in the year since she’d started the radio station. She knew how to handle the breathers, the conspiracy theorists, and the zealots on both sides of pretty much every possible argument. 

This…was new. 

“Is this a song I might not be familiar with, or…?”  

“I’m not really sure what I need. See, I’ve reached the part of the story where it all comes crumbling down around the hero, but I’m having trouble getting into the character’s mindset. Could you find me something?” 

Dead air was bad air, but Hawke needed a few seconds to wrap her mind around the request. She’d never had someone ask for a vibe before. 

“Well,” she said, trying to sound less thrown than she was, “that depends on what sort of loss it is. Love? Business? Family?” 

“Yes.” 

“A-haaa, one of those stories.” 

“She’s been framed for murder. This is her big fall from grace.” 

“Well how much did she have to start with? Falling out of a first floor apartment hurts a lot less than falling out of a penthouse suite.” 

A laugh, as nice to listen to as the rest of him. 

“Nice metaphor. She’s a high-ranking politician, just engaged, slightly estranged from her family but calls on the holidays.” 

“Coming up next, ‘The Fires Ahead’ by No Less Blessed.”

“Much obliged.”

-

“I need a fight scene.” 

This time he sounded impatient, slightly on edge. Hawke thought she could hear the irritated finger tapping already. 

“You sound like you’re about to start one yourself.” 

A pause, and a slightly self-conscious laugh. 

“Sorry. I’ve got the idea in my head and I have to get it out before I lose it.” 

“Apology accepted, this time. What sort of fight scene? Bare fists, magic, swashbuckling swords?” 

“Fists, mostly, with whatever makeshift weapons you can make in an apartment.” 

“Bar brawl in a penthouse. Coming up, the entirety of the album Good Witch, Bad Bitch by The Annulled, first song ‘In the Tower’.”

-

“Something triumphant, but mellow, if you have it. A song to drink a glass of whiskey to.” 

“Absolutely, a song to celebrate your new book! To all my lovely listeners, be sure to pick up a copy of Beneath Suspicion by Varric Tethras, out in stores today!”  

Oh but that astonished silence felt good. Hawke smirked as he burst out laughing. Bang on the money. 

“You figured me out!” 

“You used my metaphor for your tag line!” Hawke said, indignant, to further laughter. “You’re a thief, Serrah Tethras. I should demand royalties.” 

“Hey, I credited you in the acknowledgements!” 

“What, really?” Hawke snatched up her copy and flipped through it, making sure to rustle the pages in the microphone for proper effect. “Well I’ll be damned, there I am. ‘To Hawke and WK-11, for the company and accompaniment.’ ”

“See? Credit where it’s due.” 

“It’s all the way at the end, though! No one ever reads the acknowledgements unless they’re in them.”

“What do you think would be better?” 

“Hmm. I’m thinking either you dedicate the next book to the station or cut us a check.” 

“Tough call.” 

“Let’s do a listener poll. Listeners, call in now and let us know how, exactly, Ser Tethras-” 

“Master Tethras, technically-” 

-Varric can even begin to repay the debt he owes us.” Over the sound of his laughter, she added “Coming up next, ‘Dance With Me’ by the Sabers.”

-

“Hawke, I assume.” 

She jumped and yelped, whirling around to see a startled dwarf standing by the door. 

“Bloody hell,” she gasped, hand over her heart. “Varric Tethras, I assume, master at introductions.” 

“Sorry. You sound more aware of your surroundings on the radio.” 

She snorted and laughed. 

“Not at the end of my shift, I’m not. If you’re here to make a request, this isn’t exactly how we do it.” 

“I’m here to pay a debt.” He reached into the inside pocket of his leather coat and drew out an envelope. “Since the next book won’t be out for a while, and I don’t like to owe.” 

Aware that it was rude, and doing it anyway, Hawke flipped open the envelope. Her eyes went wide. And then wider. 

“Bloody hell,” she said again. “That’s a bit much.” 

“You got me through some pretty tough blocks.” 

She tucked away the check and pushed her hair back to disguise her hesitation. 

“Still. I think you’re over by just a tad.” 

Varric tilted his head, his eyes shining expectantly. “By how much?” 

“The cost of a drink at your hole-in-the-wall of choice?” 

She was rewarded when his smile grew. It really did match his voice quite wonderfully. 

“Given that it’s 6 in the morning, how about we find a coffee shop, instead of a bar.” 

“Well if you want to be conventional about it.” 

The laugh sounded even better in person.

Inspirational

Pairing: HawkexVarric (one-sided) Fandom: Dragon Age Word Count: 887 Summary: Varric accidentally wrote Hawke into Hard in Hightown as Lady Marielle. He also accidentally wrote in his massive crush on her. It’s making writing his next chapter...difficult. 

This close to her, the smell of lilacs was everywhere. He could taste it in the back of his throat, almost covering the copper bite of blood. Marielle reached out and pressed a hand to his cheek. Her palm was rough with the kind of calluses you earned, and blessedly warm after the icy rain outside.

“Guardsman--” she began to say, and cut herself off. “Varric

“Shit!”

Varric scribbled furiously over the mistake, cursing himself. Like it wasn’t bad enough he’d recreated Hawke in Lady Marielle, then wrote twelve chapters of the main character mooning over her. No, now he had to go and be obvious about it.

The worst part was, he hadn’t done it on purpose. He’d simply needed to create an alluring human noblewoman for his story, and come up with a series of traits that just so happened to describe Hawke down to the ground. When Varric wrote, he drew from experience, and when he’d needed to write a man just a little in love with an unattainable woman he’d…

Well, shit, he’d written a man hopelessly infatuated. With Hawke.

It was no good. The harsh strokes of black ink were heavy, but he was certain he could make out the shape of his name around the edges. He tried to make himself let it go. It wasn’t like anyone but him was ever going to see this page; it was only a first draft.  

Except it was the fifth first draft of this chapter, and he kept doing it. He couldn’t seem to keep Marielle off the page, and every time she showed up, the narrative veered away from ‘gritty mystery’ and into ‘tragic romance’. Marielle was a widow, and one who’d been in love with her husband. She could not, would not start to fall for Donnen so quickly. It was unrealistic. It was cliche.

It was embarrassingly obvious.

A loud banging at the door nearly made him jump out of his skin.

“Varric!” Hawke shouted from the other side. “Open up, I know you’re in there! I’ll break it down if I have to!”

Even the thought of Hawke seeing this particular error made him want to turn inside out with embarrassment. Hurriedly he tore the page up, taking care to ruin the part he’d crossed out. As Hawke continued to pound on the door, Varric crumpled all the pieces into a ball and tossed it in the fire.

“It’s open,” he called. “Don’t break my door.”

The banging stopped, and Hawke poked her head in.

“So it is! Varric, no one’s seen you in days.”

“I’m working.”

Hawke took in the current state of his rooms. He’d abandoned his desk three first drafts ago. Now his table was a small sea of crumpled up, ink stained paper, piled in little drifts against empty plates and cups. She wrinkled her nose at him.

“You need a break,” she said.

“I need to finish. I have a deadline.”

“And the deadline will still be there after you take a break!”

“Yes, Hawke, that’s the problem.”

Hawke gave an exaggerated sigh and crossed the room until she was looking over his shoulder at what was now the latest extant page of chapter 13. Anyone else would have been shooed away, but Varric just rested his elbows on the table and let her look.

“It’s terrible,” she announced.

“I know,” he said. “Why do you think I’ve been in here for three days?”

Hawke sighed heavily. She leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him, pressing up against his back and tucking her chin over his shoulder. This was not new. Hawke was affectionate with her friends. She’d pick Merrill up, or sling an arm around Fenris’ shoulders, or sit on Isabela’s lap, all without an ounce of self consciousness.

It did not, he told himself sternly, indicate that she felt any sort of particular interest in him, romantically or otherwise. Himself retaliated by pointing out that if he turned his head, he could easily press a kiss to the corner of her mouth.

“Come downstairs and have a drink,” Hawke said. “Talk to real people. Air yourself out a little. You’ll get musty if you sit here in the dark any longer.”

Varric chuckled despite himself.

“Yes, that was rather clever, wasn’t it?” Hawke said, pleased. “You can borrow that one if you like. That’s my gift to you.”

“If I say ‘no, I need to work’, will you respect my answer and leave me alone?”

“Oh, Varric, you tell such good jokes.” Her grip around him tightened, and she pressed her cheek to his. “Come have fun,” she insisted.

Varric had to swallow a few times, because his mouth had gone very dry. He’d never been able to place the floral scent that Hawke wore, and he’d never been able to think of a way to ask. It wasn’t overpowering, but the sweet, subtle cloud that wound around him nonetheless left him dizzy and breathless.

“Alright,” he managed at last. “You win.”

“Excellent!” Hawke kissed his cheek and stood, patting him on the shoulder. “Drinks and cards are ready and waiting!”

He was grateful that she didn’t look back as she left, as loudly and abruptly as she’d arrived, because he didn’t know how to explain why he was suddenly so flushed.

Saw your HawkexVarric post, and maybe some late night in the Hanged Man with drinks or wicked grace? I'm partial to MhawkexVarric but FHawkexVarric is cool too :)

(I don’t usually do MHawkexVarric but for you I gave it a shot!)

For the third time that evening, Hawke set aside his cards and put his face in his hands as he laughed hysterically.

“We’re never going to finish this game if you keep doing that,” Varric said, only slightly annoyed. When Hawke did not answer, except to dissolve into snickering, he sighed. “I shouldn’t have told you that story.”

“Stripped Grace!” Hawke howled, “With Knight Captain Rutherford!”

“Commander Cullen, technically.”

“To his bits!”

“Never bet against an Antivan,” Varric agreed, setting aside his cards. He wasn’t too bent out of shape about it. His hand had been pretty bad, and it was nice to see Hawke laugh so brightly. It had been a dark few years for both of them. To have a moment alone, in front of a warm fire on a cold night, listening to Hawke laugh, it was impossible to be properly irritated. 

“Oh Maker,” Hawke gasped when he’d settled down again, wiping tears from his eyes. “The price I wouldn’t pay to have been there. You know, I think it’s amazing we managed to go ten years of being friends with Isabela without ever once playing Stripped Grace.”

“I’ve never seen the point, personally.”

“No? Let’s play now, you and I. I’ll see if I can... make it clear.” This was delivered with a wink so dramatic it had to be endearing.

“I’ll pass.”

“Are you afraid my chest hair will outshine yours?”

“I’ve seen your chest hair before. I’m not afraid. Besides,” he said, over Hawke’s gasp of false indignation, “I don’t need a card game to get you out of your clothes.”

Hawke picked up his cards again, eyes shining. “You do tonight.”
