Lady Jess, that shot reminds me of Leliana's vision.

"When I woke, I went to the chantry's gardens, as I always do. But that day, the rosebush in the corner had flowered...Everyone knew that bush was dead. It was grey and twisted  and gnarled--the ugliest thing you ever saw, but there it was--a single beautiful rose. It was as though the Maker had stretched out His hand to say: 'Even in the midst of this darkness, there is hope and beauty. Have Faith.'"

Exactly!  And I think it's that very rose that Alistair picks and later gives to his LI.  The first time I made that connection, I was floored. 

Edit for ToP:
There are some days Alistair wishes he was still in the Chantry, but then...
there are some days he is very glad he isn't.

I was going to add that to the description but couldn't find the quote!

@ Sarah: I like how you end your short lingering on an almost sinister thought from Alistair. Very well composed!

@ Lady Jess: In some respect, I almost find the Drunkstair ending more upsetting than him making the final blow against the Archdemon. Very harsh and sad, but fitting considering the circumstances. Also, your rose picture is awesomely germane to this thread!

@ Briiel: An excellent screen of Alistair coupled with a nice description!

@ LadyDamodred: A fresh take on the prompt: starts out on one note and ends on a completely different one. A very enjoyable read

@ Tigress: Sometimes it's good to wedge it in a just a little deeper

I'm a big Leliana fan. I knew exactly where to go in the toolset to find it. And I think you are right, Tigress, it's probably the same rose. I have yet to get the rose myself, only gotten one playthrough as a female, but I should get to hear it soon.

Yeah my toolset said "up yours!" and crashed right after I nabbed Alistair's quote. So thank you, i'd wanted that:)

[RagingCyclone]

Lady Jess, my pleasure.

[Sarah1281]

I wish there was an Alistair-romance banter between him and Leliana about the rose.

[Tigress M]

I do, too! Or at the very least, you'd think that Leilana would mention it if she tells you about the rose after you got it from Alistair.

[RagingCyclone]

Sarah, I have not found any. There are parts where he teases her about being crazy, and she teases him about being himself around women, but nothing about the rose in the random banter.

But I have read the whole giggling banter, and that I look forward to seeing myself in the game.

Oh, I know that there isn't. I just wish, since there are other romance-specific banters with the companions, one of them could happen after Alistair gives the rose and Leliana - having seen it at some point - asks him about it and finds out it's her vision-rose.

[RagingCyclone]

hehe, Leli's dialogue was buggy enough when the game was released, I even looked in the unused dialogue that is still in the toolset, but it mostly revolved around Shale. Any rose options may have been replaced by the performance dialogue that is there now. "What are you giggling about? W-What is she giggling about?"

Good lord!  I'd completely forgotten about the rose in Leliana's vision and never made the connection.  That'll be an important detail for my fanfic, when Aedan pulls out the rose while recounting the story of the Blight (he had it gilded at Orzammar to preserve it and his kept it).

"There were times Alistair almost wished he'd never left the Chantry."


There were times Alistair almost wished he'd never left the Chantry and this day was one of them. It had been amost two years since he had seen her. They had broken up due to the issue of getting an heir. While he fufilled his duty as king, she went on to rebuild the Wardens. She liberated Amaranthine and mysteriously retired until Eamon revealed the unthinkable several months ago.

"Teagan and Elissa are married! She's due in the spring!" Eamon said joyfully. 

"Elissa married Teagan?" Alistair exclaimed. "She is a Grey Warden Eamon. It was supposed to be nearly impossible for her to concieve."

"The Maker works in mysterious ways Alistair."

He had wondered why Teagan had not been to court and now he knew. He also realized this was why Fergus always seemed uncomfortable around him.

That was five months ago. She had given birth to a healthy baby boy they named Dereck. Eamon was estatic for not only there was another Guerrin heir, his mother was a Cousland and the savior of Ferelden.

Today Teagan and Elissa were returning to Court today and Alistair had no desire to see them. Closing his eyes, he remembered something Duncan had said before sending his group out into the Kocari Wilds.

"A great many thing were assumed by the Grey Wardens that have not held true."

And so he stood on the balcony, longing for days of being yelled at by the Grand Cleric and being sent to the kitchen to scour the pans.

There you. I know its not as good as the other prompts. But I hope some people enjoy it.

Man, y'all are breaking my heart.  Glad I didn't go with a sad take on this prompt.

Also...

Leliana: "Alistair... May I ask you something?"
Alistair:  "Of course.  What do you need?"
Leliana: "That rose you gave the Warden... Where did you get it?"
Alistair:  "Oh, that?  *blushes*  I, um, found it in Lothering, in the Chantry's garden actually.  Why?"
Leliana: "That was the rose I found after my vision!  You picked the Maker's rose to give away as a present!  How could you?!"
Alistair:  "What?  Really?  I'm sorry, Leliana, but... it was only going to be destroyed anyway.  Isn't this better than having it be tainted by the darkspawn?"
Leliana: "I...  Well, yes, I suppose it is."
Alistair:  "I'm glad you're not mad.  Stew?"

@Bleetman - Too funny! Poor Alistair!

@Melca - Teagan! Oh, that was wonderful! And I don't want to hear another word about how it wasn't as good as the other submissions... that's just simply not true.

This reminded me of this gem by Sandtigress in an old thread, that made me lol.
Conversations you would like to see your party having

Why a romance between Alistair and Leliana never took off.

Alistair:  Here, look at this.
Leliana:  Its a rose!  Oh, how beautiful!
Alistair:  I picked it in Lothering.  I know I should have left it alone...
Leliana:  In...Lothering?  Not in the Chantry gardens...
Alistair:  Well, yes.  When we stopped to talk to the revered mother about Sten...
Leliana:  You...picked...the Maker's rose..., Oh, how could you?
*Leliana runs off into the night*
Alistair:  I, ah....What just happened here?

[RagingCyclone]

@LadyD, Yes!!!!



@Bleetman, classic.



@Melca, you are too modest, That is very good.

I'm sure KoP would love to see Morrigan using those tactics.
