I'm now bloody well writing a full length Origins fic with Anders as a companion. Damn you Surely. I got to Lake Calenhad with my current revamped Miranda and Anders was in my head sniping at Carroll. OMG too much fun.
I'm still doing my Alim Awakenings fic though. And Shades. And Fractures. I'm going to write the origins fic as I play through I think. Tiny bits at a time.

Speaking of wet Anderses:

@Miri: How do you find the time to do all of that?!?!

[SurelyForth]

@Estral I love the picture! Mmmm...wet Anders. And I'm glad you like the prompt! Can I admit that it was inspired by my desire to coerce Miri into writing Anders/Morrigan?

@Cave I love that picture. I would die happy if they ever gave us Anders/Zevran banter.

@Sarah I laughed so hard at your story, like guffaws of laughter. The accent, the mustache, Namaya, Angelique. It was awesome.

@Miri You and me both! As a matter of fact, I got so out of hand with my fill that I can't even post here because I am not masochistic enough to format a 4,000 word post.

So...here's Beautiful. I swore to myself that I was going to keep it far, far away from romance, but I failed on pretty much every level. I might eventually write something that isn't self-indulgent for this prompt, but every idea I get keeps mutating into something that would only really work in a long fic.

@Sarah I don't. I really, really don't.



I don't have to go to work, which helps, and although I still have to do housework and kid wrangling they are things that are done in fits and bursts. I can feed baby #2 while I write which is great and baby#1 is extremely good at entertaining herself which she does. She often sits on my lap when baby#2 is asleep and writes with me actually, which is kind of cute. So normally I'll be up at 5 or so, get kids fed and organised with activities (which can be anything from drawing to sandpit playing to watching TV) and write while they're happy.

I also get one day off a week, which is nearly always used to write, and my husband takes the kids for periods on the weekend which are nearly always used to write as well.

I probably have just as much work to do during the day as everyone else but it's more flexible and CAN be put off, so it often is. Also chapters go very, very quickly for me once I'm in the zone - they rarely take more than an hour to write and another half hour to edit.

[LupusYondergirl]

Every time I look at this thread I feel like I have to stick Anders in a rainstorm in whatever chapter I'm working on.

And payroo just posted the prize I won for being her 20,000th hit.

[tankgirly]

Hehe, I just saw that, Lupus. Very nicely done!

[Miri1984]

@Lupus It's magnificent. The expressions are spot on. It's a pity her eyes aren't green, but you can pass that off as the way the light hits them - it's unmistakably Maggie otherwise.

[LupusYondergirl]

Yeah, the blue threw me off, too. I'm not about to complain about free art, though.
Especially since it is so 'them' otherwise.

(shoot, one of Aimo's Anders pics made his eyes blue, I guess it's the color everyone grabs by default.)

[Miri1984]

Yeah, I've seen heaps of Anderses and Alistairs with blue eyes - even a few Zevrans. Actually, there are very, very few Fereldens in the game who have blue eyes at all. Anora and Loghain - and Isolde? But apart from that noone.

[LupusYondergirl]

Jowan has blue eyes, too. But yeah, it's rare. Hazel actually seems to be the most common.

You and me both...
Have you seen this mod?
I wrote a lot of Jowan's dialogue for it.

[Miri1984]

I never liked Jowan much until you two ladies introduced me to his finer qualities. Now I let him go every time . He has a certain tragic gorgeousness about him.

Edited to add: Man I KNOW why people end up hating Christmas. It's all fine when all you have to do is buy and receive presents. Now I just want to sleep.

Will anyone believe me if I say that I kept betraying Jowan until I met Anders? Our apostate made me hate Irving somehow. And Wynne. I love Greagoir now instead. He's more strict but at least he's honest and doesn't play with lives of kids who trust him And his beard looks better than Irving's.

[Miri1984]

@Lupus Saw it. Commented. Faved. GORGEOUS. She's so talented. I'm still plotting how to kidnap her and you and Cave by the way. Oh and SurelyForth, although I'm not going to feed her unless she writes happy things for Anders. And Tank, although I'm sure her kids would have something to say about it...

While I'm at it I may as well just snaffle Avilia and Sarah as well. And possibly Aimo. And maybe Payroo.

I need to found a DA Art Academy - kind of like Xavier's School for Talented Youngsters. You can make DA fanart and fanfic for me and train to protect the innocent at the same time.

[LupusYondergirl]

Seriously, that whole thing where Irving will literally corner you about Jowan if you don't call him on it yourself is just WRONG.
Greagoir is more honest, by far.

Although I didn't need Anders to make me hate Wynne.  Wynne made me hate Wynne all on her own.  The first time I played I never got her romance conversation since I was already at love with Alistair by the time I got her.  The second time... was a Zevran game.  And her Zevran romance comment is BRUTAL.  I didn't even know she apologized later since she got the silent treatment for the rest of the game and spent her days guarding the tents.

And I think I need to be locked up to protect the innocent. I was happily writing a chapter and then *boom* Anders and Maggie decide to argue.
"no, we don't want to follow this convoluted plot. We want to fool around on a table."
"But there was smut just last chapter... and you need to get to Lake Calenhad and..."
"TABLE SMUT!"
"Please don't freeze me solid."

 @Lupus, when I saw that reference picture, I thought: "Anders MUST be undressing Maggie. What else can he do?!"   I'm so glad that you like it! 
@Miri, you must lock us to protect innocent people from us. And I'll be Rogue if Anders will be Gambit! <3

I loved Wynne in my 1st playthrough. I was dalish elf, and she was so polite and nice. And funny. I started to hate her in Rhiamon's playthrough. She was lecturing about Rhia's sexy life and wanted her to go back to the Tower. And the worst thing was that she wanted Aneirin to go back! Rhia was about to shout at her that she was a crazy old frog, because Aneirin was happy with his people and he was free, and templars would kill him if they found out that he was still alive. Athough a good thing about Wynne is that she said that she supported Rhia's decision to help Jowan.

I love Greagoir - not sure why I just do.  Its probably my secret crush for Templars   (Don't tell Anders...shh).

Gorgeous picture Gala!   I love how he's pulling her wrap off...wicked.

@Miri - I can't draw but I can bake cakes for everyone..I'm in  mad baking phase atm so its a good time to chain me to the oven.

He's what Anders would be should he decided to go down that blood mage path..

Does that mean you're back on my ficcie?

Welcome to the club. Stealing time here and there to do Christmas shopping is not funny business. It's a murder!

Oh, fantastic commission, Gala. Love every bit!

Avilia, Tank, thanks!



Hehe, I'm so lucky we don't celebrate Chrismas like that. We only buy presents for the New Year, but in my family we desided to save money for useful things So, all we do is cooking and then eating and drinking

One thing I've noticed is that, despite this being pretty common of so-called tragic characters, is that all of Jowan's problems (except being a mage in the Circle Tower which he really didn't seem to mind all that much until he found out he'd be made Tranquil and even wanted to go back) are his own damn fault and that tends to make me less sympathetic. If some part of it - aside from, again, being a mage - wasn't due to his own actions or if he proved capable to make a decision that didn't backfire horribly I might be able to care more. As it is, I felt mildly uncomfortable when I told Jowan how I sold him out the minute he had broken his phylactery but that was just because of how betrayed he looked even if I don't like him.

@Lupus: Wow, that's a  nice picture.

[cave_fatuam]

@Lupus
You have far too many ridiculously pretty pictures of reasonably dressed people now. Let me find my tablet and we'll raise the rating a little. 
========================
My Anders in Origins prompt fill.
I'm not really happy with this, but everyone else's was so happy and cute. So, you know I had to add a promise of smut and death. So without further a do:

"An End of an Origin"

She was fighting like mad to free herself from his arms, her wordless cries of abject grief clashing violently with the screeches of the severely wounded Archdemon. Alistair, of course, was running headlong at the damned thing leaving him to hold onto the elf... The flash of light and power knocked him off his feet. Several minutes later he ventured a chance at opening his eyes. What the f---? Everything was brown and swirly. Something moved over him. Maeve. The brown was her hair then.  Anders took a deep painful breath and sat up. He cradled her body across his lap searching her face for life. He smiled in spite of himself as her eyes flickered open. Not dead then. That at least he could be thankful for.
“Mae?”
She pushed him away roughly taking advantage of the shift in both position and situation. By the time Anders had made it to his feet she was running toward Alistair's body. He could tell the boy was dead. She wasn't half the healer he was and even she would know that. The desperate way she was trying to force magic to produce some semblance of life into Alistair's body tore at Anders' heart. Really? Did she think it would help.
"He's gone. You're just wasting your mana." He dropped to his knees and slid an arm around her. Maeve turned on him, wild-eyed and with only a dangerously tenuous control over her power.
"No. He lied to me. He said he went to her. He'd be fine. I just had to keep you safe. That was my job. I just had to worry about you. He'd be fine. He went to her."
Great, she'd gone mad with grief. From her rambling he gathered that Alistair had not had to die, but, honorable fool that he was, had sacrificed himself. Was being king so objectionable? Anders understood the fear of being locked away forever in a castle, but Alistair had left the woman alone. This was unforgivable. A life that featured a pretty girl, a full stomach, and the ability to lop off the head of any Templar of his choosing almost seemed worth it. Almost.
"Just breathe."
He pulled her to his chest. All these months, she had remained stalwart, letting no one see the cracks in her facade of lead Grey Warden.  Well, excluding that one night...

"I have a favor to ask of you," Maeve whispered into his ear.
"Ah. That's why you wanted to be on watch with me. And here I thought it was because you liked me." He worked his face into a comically exaggerated pout.
"You'll, You'll like this," she blushed furiously.
"Oh, do tell."
"I want to..." She bit hard into her bottom lip.
"Yes?"
"I want to sleep with Alistair. I love him."  Blood was gathering in the middle of her lip. Anders ran a finger over the split to heal it.
"Where do I come into this? Do you want me to talk to him?" Anders smiled wickedly. "The Circle Mage biddy already told him where babies come from."
“No. When he does sleep with me, if he will-”
“Oh, he will. I would, right now.” He leered at her ridiculously before laughing and giving her shoulder a playful shove.
“Honestly?” She looked up at him with a look of bald-faced terror.
“Are you asking?”  She was not asking him that. She wasn’t.
“Yes.”
“But Alistair.”  What in the Dark City?
“For Alistair.” She rubbed the heel of her hand roughly between her eyes. “When he... It’ll hurt me.”
“So, you, never?” He looked at her skeptically.
“Yes. I... He’ll hurt me and it’ll kill him. He all but dies when he rolls over on my hair, Anders.” She pressed herself to his chest. “You though. You’re not that naive or tenderhearted.”
“No, I am not, but I can’t do that, Mae.” Push her away Anders. No? Okay.
“Why? Guilt-free sex? That sounds right up your corridor.” She slipped an arm around his neck.
“Guilt-free? Yes, I would never feel guilty about sleeping with my friend’s woman.” He leaned into her embrace until they were forehead to forehead.
“The virtue of aiding me negates the sin of going behind his back.”
“Rationalizing? Now that always makes things better.”
“If you’re going to be passive-agressive, just passive-aggressively take me into the woods and-”
“Mae-”
“Please. You know, I only asked you because I car-trust you.”

“Warden!”
Anders  snapped back to the present to see their allies gathering around them slowly.
“It’s dead then. And... and the king?”
Maeve stood, suddenly every bit the last Grey Warden in Ferelden.
“Fereldens, you are lucky. You have such a blessed wonderful king, that he would give himself for your safety. We shall not allow his sacrifice to be in vain. We will follow his example and give our everything to rebuild the kingdom that he gave,” here she faltered slightly, “his all too short life for. Go forth and tell our fellows of our victory. For Ferelden!”
“For Ferelden!” the men shouted in unison and began working their way down the tower. A couple of the Redcliffe knights looked from Maeve to Anders to Alistair’s still body.
“Please take him,”  Anders said taking his cue from Maeve’s silence. “There’s a woman below, a Leliana. She will want to see him first. He loved her.” The men reverently lifted the fallen king to their shoulders and followed their compatriots down the steps.
“He left me, like I did him. Maybe not in the same way, but still.” She slipped back into Anders’ arms burying her nose in the juncture between neck and shoulder. He gingerly laid a kiss atop her head as a tremor of guilt worked its way through is body. He’d held her back from Alistair in both situations.
“It’s over at least...”
“You are naive, after all. It’s actually just starting for us, love.”

Aw, very sad, Cave (and nice twist). Poor Leliana. At least the female Warden knows what to expect with the Archdemon. Unless Alistair told her (and I can't see him telling her), she would have no idea what might happen.

This was a great prompt. Everyone story was top notch
@Surly - Beautiful was funny. luv your writing style 
@Cave - *sniff* at the sad part. But I suppose, once ones tasted Anders ....

@ Miri – Anders gets his just desserts. How wonderful.

@Sarah – the fake mustache – I scared my cat & hubby laughing so hard

@Avilia – So cute & funny. The tent scene was classic.
