Good thing he breaks up with you in Act II and doesn't come back until after she dies. It makes the arguing about it much shorter. :)
It really shows my character bias (or antibias?) when I lose sight of canon. I'll just stamp an AU on it and call it a day. LOL
They'd stick out in both societies, which is the last thing a mage-siding Hawke is going to want to do.
I don't think I agree with this... but, as that icon you have points out, my canon may be flawed with fanon.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Hawke invite Merril to live with him/her in that romance?
True, I can see the Thedean society being harsher on a female human/male elf relationship than the reverse... but, still, in either situation, Hawke doesn't care.
Another thing that leads me to this is allowing Anders to move in. A known, outspoken apostate? (I don't have his dialogue handy... but it's pretty specific as to what he's asking Hawke to agree to, how the world will perceive it.)
All of these things point to a character, that no matter what the play-through, doesn't give a shit about what society thinks. (I'm not saying it's smart, or anything, just saying.)
Not to mention that, let's be honest, the fandom is almost two years old and s/he's coming into it late and expressing no knowledge of what's been done before, as you implied.
*nodding* That's the crux of it. Knowing the fandom is huge if a person wants to have readership. (If you're just writing for lulz, that's another story.)
Awakening as if Alistair was Warden-Commander (stemming off my head!canon m!Cousland playthrough)
Of the three candidates this is the most interesting to me.
Just off the top of my head, I can't think of anything exactly like that and I enjoyed enough to remember. The closest, I think, is Letters from Amaranthine.
I read that prompt. Selfishly, I want both twins alive because I want a party of all mages. EPIC!!!
