    Summary

    Once Riz gets past the initial shock and terror at things changing, there’s a part of him that’s just want. That selfish, greedy part of him that he’s had to learn how to quiet, to stop focusing on the things he’s scared he’ll lose or that he’ll never have when he’s so spoiled with the things he does have now, it hears all the quiet promises in Fabian’s words and wants to clutch it all tight, no takebacksies. He wants to be wanted. He wants to bask in however Fabian wants to express his love the same way that he’s always loved it when Fabian expresses his love. He wants to not be scared of the thought of it. He wants to want it. He might want it? He wants to know if he does want it.

    (Or, discovering your best friend of over a decade is in love with you might bring some confusion, some complications, and plenty of recontextualizing, but it might also bring so much happiness.)

    Summary

    In this paper, we present a unifying theory of the blight that positions it as a corruption of the ancient isatunoll, or collective hivemind consciousness, of the Titans and their descendants. We propose that this isatunoll, sundered from the Titans and cast into the Fade by the Evanuris and then further altered to incorporate the Taint, constitutes the blight as it is known today. Additionally, we propose that the Joining ritual of the Order of the Grey Wardens serves to inoculate those who survive it against further corruption by the Taint via a sympathetic bond with the archetypal isatunoll. Finally, we provide reasoning to suggest that the Joining can only be survived by those with latent genetic heritage derived from the Titans themselves, whether directly (as with the dwarva) or via the ancient elvhen people who constructed physical bodies from lyrium, the blood of the Titans.

    Neither of them meant to make it a habit, sleeping together without *sleeping* together, but it kept happening periodically throughout the years, nonetheless.

    Summary

    Hawke's forced smiles and Fenris' forlorn looks had been painful to watch, but seeing them make small talk might be even worse.

    For three years, Hawke and Fenris’ relationship is firmly stuck in limbo. The Kirkwall gang watches from the sidelines and endures, just barely.
