i always forget that fenris is a mercenary in general, presumably as well as what he does with hawke. how offended do you think the party acts when he’s busy with a different job

PLEASE let there have been a job where hawke got hired to attack some place and fenris got hired to guard it and hawke is like “we aren’t seriously doing this are we” and fenris is like “does my word to my employer mean nothing to you” and hawke is like “really” and fenris is like “do the two sovereigns i am getting for this job mean nothing to you”

@jawsandbones wrote something very sweet as i showed her wips of this.. i have her to thank for inspiring the bloom of light spreading out from Orson’s touch 🥺😭😭

AS USUAL.. I COULD WRITE 10000 words about this i hope.. i hope the image can say it all!!!

and what better way to mark such a milestone? they place bets as to who’s will grow back faster. hawke’s returns to a tangle of curls in no time at all. fenris keeps his short. they travel alone, together.

CONFESSION:

I recently watched a playthrough of DA2, where the player gave Fenris to Danarius (I could never do it in-game), and I was pretty surprised by Anders’ reaction.

Actually, it is terrible. And disgusting. But I also felt it a bit out of character. Don’t get me wrong, Anders is not a nice guy, and he definitely doesn’t like Fenris. He can also be pretty cruel after a companion (like Merrill) makes a mistake. But that comment still didn’t work for me. Fenris may not support mages, and he may be on bad terms with Anders, but he was still a victim and was still a slave most of his life. Anders doesn’t support slavery at any other part of the game - if you take the slavers’ side, you always get rivalry with him. He is cruel with other characters, but not pointlessly, he is says harsh things, when they do something, that angers him (like Merrill’s blood magic, or Fenris’ expressed hate on mages). It is a core trait of the character that he does believe in freedom and justice - without it, he would be a shallow villain. That whole comment seemed like a try to add a scene to his conflict with Fenris, but ended up not only disgusting, but also weird and out of place.

Nope, it makes sense - when you remember that, at the point of Act 3, Anders is The Cause™. He is in full “if you are not with me, then you are against me” mode. Witness how he responds if Hawke refuses to distract Elthina - he says outright “I have always been alone. I just forgot it for a time.” He asks for Hawke’s unquestioning loyalty, and then gets pissy when Hawke expresses concern for him. 

DA2 is, for Anders, the story of a downward spiral. Act 3 is when he is jumping all the way off the slippery slope. So to him, the injustice of slavery pales in the face of the mages’ rights, and Fenris is an obstacle to that. So if he’s out of the picture, all the better for The Cause™. Mages need to be free MORE.

Likewise, and on the more individual level, Fenris has, in Anders’s mind, always been the greatest rival for Hawke’s affections. Anders has a narrative in his mind - he is The Hero, fighting the Great Injustice, in the name of the Greater Good. And in that narrative, The Hero is supposed to get their Great Love. Anders puts Hawke in that role early on - whether or not Hawke returns his feelings. 

And of the other romances, Anders views Isabela as impermanent (since she’ll exit the game entirely in Act 2 if you don’t get her approval high enough) and Merrill as doomed to death by way of her blood magic (never mind the irony). Sebastian is in the grey area, given his status as DLC, but he’s also the DA2 party member most at a distance of the group anyway.

But Fenris? Fenris is loyal. This is the man who will wear Hawke’s favor regardless of if Hawke continues their romance or moves on to someone else after what happened. Fenris is committed. Fenris will stay.

Fenris is his rival. Fenris is the obstacle to Anders having his “Great Love” in the form of Hawke.

Anders is a selfish person, a selfish character. He always was. Hedonism was a major character trait of his in Awakening. But, when Justice joined with him, he couldn’t think only of himself as an escaped mage. He picked up The Cause. But that selfishness is still there - he’ll say that Hawke is what he wants, regardless of Justice. And he wants to get the obstacles out of the way of him getting Hawke.

Fenris is one of those obstacles. So he’ll gladly take the opportunity to get rid of him.
