One Thing I Feel Like I Need More Of Is An Exploration Of The Friendship Part Of The Friendmance With

One thing I feel like I need more of is an exploration of the “friendship” part of the friendmance with Fenris.

Like I feel like a lot of the fic I’ve read of Fenhawke (particularly mage!Hawke) are more on the antagonistic side. And like, I get it Fenris hates mages blah blah blah but also….

Maxing out his friendship implies Fenris like…..actually likes you. Genuinely, as a friend. Whether you’re a mage or not. But most fics I’ve read with him still involve him being a grumpy boy whenever Hawke comes around and like?????

I just like the idea of a slow burn friends to lovers with Fenhawke. Like maybe they even consider each other their Best friend. And then after act 2 instead of this perpetually awkward vibe between them they slowly ease back into just being friends. I like the idea of a Hawke who Gets Fenris, as much as they can. Who gets why he left, even if it hurts. Maybe they even agree with him on some level that yeah, they Did move too fast.

Idk bro Fenris just has such a strained and distant relationship with most ppl in his life… I want him to at least have One relationship with someone that is vastly more easy and comfortable than anything else (that someone being Hawke in this instance cause I live for the mushy gushy niceness)

I just…… looovve the friendmance for Fenris it makes me happy thinking he has Hawke to call his best friend. Just a couple of buds.

reasons to like Iron Bull

Respects and admires underdogs and outcasts

Lost a fucking eye defending one such outcast

Trans rights

Not nearly as judgmental about mages as you’d expect for someone who’s coming from a fairly anti-magic society

Actually A Pretty Big Nerd™

Calls people out on their shit but doesn’t often try to look blatantly self-righteous

Usually thinks that leaders should act reasonably and be held accountable

Doesn’t constantly harass people who don’t have huge warrior muscles because he recognizes that there are different kinds of strength in the world

Respects women in power/authority without automatically turning it into a kinky or voyeur thing

More than just “sorta clever” because he can mentally play a fucking game of chess, what in the actual hell, that unsettles me and it should unsettle you too, don’t tell me he’s not the intellectual equal of Leliana or Josie or Solas

Probably would’ve been a kickass advisor

… how soon can we punch Ganmen?

Gods that hurt to read, poor Cary!

Caryalind’s first Short Story is out now on the SOT website!

Summary:  It was shocking to see a Bosmer become the royal personal bodyguard, however, he would end up being the best friend a prince could ask for.

Riften is the funniest fucking city in Skyrim it’s like we have a temple dedicated to love, you can get married here! It has a back door into a sewer system full of thieves who worship a dark god. The trees are beautiful! The city is run by the mob. There’s an orphanage where you can adopt children! But only if you murder the woman who runs the place. You can help the bar owners get engaged! You can do this immediately after extorting them via threatening their family. There’s a beautiful lake and a lively fishery! It’s home to a drug ring

I mean… where’s the lie though? XDDD

Like really, he’s a priest of bloody Mara and he’s not a marriage option????

erandur: a gentle, kind priest of mara who just wants to atone for past mistakes and spread the word of the goddess of love across skyrim

me, an absolute fucking harlot, whenever he's in my party:

And that’s why we support him
