So, to answer the favorite non-Fenris romance question, it would be no-other-love-triangles rival Anders (post 1.03 when they fix his rivalry bugs, I might actually play it instead of watching the scenes) It definately won't be the game I'll be keeping as my favorite, it is too damn laced in tragedy, but it does make for a good story.
Oddly enough, I'm also growing to appreciate Fenris/Isabella pair. And hear me out before you get your rotten tomatoes out!
Romance outcomes as seen in Dragon Age games so far:
If Fenris is involved with Hawke, Varrick does the 'everyone leaves the champion's side, except Fenris, of course' speech at the end, and not even one minute later, Leliana waltzes in and goes 'oh, noes, the champion has dissapeared, just like the Warden!'
I needn't mention that I want to feed her to an archdemon/legion of desire demons/a dungeon full of Harvesters at that revelation.
Now, take a look at post Origins romance resolutions. No matter how happy (or not) their original endings were, Morrigan gets the best bittersweet ending, given the choice warden follows her. Leli is out searching for missing warden, Zevran is separated from them, warden Alistair is separated from them, and eventhe married king Alistair is still separated from their loved one. Meanwhile, the Warden's 30 year clock is ticking, and I don't the impression that much, if any, of that time is spent alongside their beloved during the DA II events, prior to their whole dissapearing act.
Therefore, unless bioware writes decide to pleasantly surprise me, I won't hold my breath for a 'together-ever-after' resolution of DA II romances. I'll desperately hope for it, sure, but the signs are against it.
So, what does Fenris gains from the romance with Hawke? The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return quote nonwithstanding, there is probably heartbreak down that road, when Champion dissapears for whatever plot reason.
With Fenris and Isa, the is certainly a different dynamic to a relationship than that of Fenris and Hawke. It definately starts casual enough, for one. But who is to say that it can't develop much like Isabella and Hawke one? Fenris can be heartbreakingly loyal, and it isn't something Isabella knows much of, but learns to treasure thoughout the game. If they are to take a chance on love somewhere down the road, they'd make a brilliant couple, and there is far less chance that a plot-twist of doom would whisk either one of them to an 'all-new-forget-your-old-companions-adventure'.
Edit: I can't believe I just did a wall of text. Here, have some art with it!
