Lunatica has "Song for You" that might work and considering Hawke's troubled life and Merrill's tribulations, Tristania's "Tender Trip on Earth" actually works quite well.

[DalishRanger]

Urk. No Bring Me to Life, please. I like Evanescence, but everyone uses that song as a relationship theme for any couple with even a little bit of conflict. It's just... Gotten old to me. I can't attach it to Merrill/Hawke or anybody at this point.

Never heard of Fool's Gold before, but I'll check it out now.

Also, what about friendmance theme songs? Hawke can support Merrill in everything, or at least the mirror. I don't think a Merrill love theme has to be about conflict exclusively. Even then, though, I haven't found anything. Granted, I'm not looking a whole lot because of the comic. Almost done inking the last page.

This song. It's just. (to me) Yes. For Hawke x Merrill that is.

 The song I'll pick is   After the Storm - Mumford & Sons

 For some reason:
Paralyzer-Finger 11

Makes me think of the Hawke and Merrill romance.
Seems fitting.

@DalishRanger.
I see I am not the only one who feels like that song is over used.

Umm. Now that I think about it, Bring me to life by Evanescence fits that Torax. Evanescence

True, come to think of it. It's just hard. Merrill comes across so innocent why I think so many songs don't feel right.

edited after listening.

The hard part is it's hard to see her ever truly numb or cold. The world around her was cold but not her. She was only blind to the outside almost. Like she is watching the world around her. Like it's revolving and she isn't a part of it anymore. All she has is the Mirror and Hawke. Towards the end it is just more like all she can believe is Hawke. When it's all going to hell just one thing reigns in her mind. "I love Hawke!" I've always loved that banter with Aveline.

I actually think her innocent outlook is party to hide the darkness and loneliness inside. She doesn't want others to think of how she is and how her pursuit for the past has pushed her. Think of it as reverse goth.

Maybe I'm reading to much into it and I'm crazy.

Quick list of possible themes:

Tender Trip on Earth by Tristania.
Song for You by Lunatica. Maybe better for a friendmance.
Come to Me by Elis.

I can probably find some more easily

Get Happy by Judy Garland :Db ...it'd kind of work. maybe.

I'm also here to drop this off

Merrill: "What's that Mr. Eluvian? Oh. OH. Yes, yes. I'll kill Hawke! She'll stop being so cross that way."
Hawke: "...I knew I shouldn't have rivalmanced her."

Yay, the Pariah fanfiction got updated.

http://www.fanfictio...825582/4/Pariah

[stormrain]

^ I love that fanart.

Ooh, theme songs again? Well, I think I've recommended "Hazy" twice now, so I'll have to try to find some new songs for Merrill...


Get It Right, from Glee of all things, fits Merrill eerily well after Marethari's (and potentially her clan's) death in A New Path.

Also As Ballad - Yorgos Kazantzis. It's an instrumental piece, but somehow it reminds me of Merrill.

That fanart looks a bit exaggerated... Merrill in anguish.

Okay, i did it i sold my soul and wrote a adult fanfiction with Merrill.
I'm home from the Czech Republic and have just updated my fanfiction.
The direct link is here:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6831578/5/
If you read it i would appreciate any critisism and reviews of it and the fanfiction as a whole, it's the first time i descriped a intimate situation, and in English too.
Hope you enjoy it though.

First suggestion: paragraphs. It makes it way easier on your reader.

Whenever changing a key subject or a speaker, change paragraphs. If you did paragraph in your original document, it's possible that FF.N ate the paragraphing. For maximum fidelity, put a full carriage return (empty line) between each paragraph, just as I'm doing here.

Like so.

Thank you, it means alot to me, it's smarter to post the feedback on the fanfiction page though, i get email notes when people do that there

Replaying the game, I found that I like the rivalmance far better than the friendly romance. The relationship feels far less superficial and more deep. Anyone agree?

[DalishRanger]

No, I don't. I mentioned before that I feel about equally about both paths, though. Certain things I like in the rivalmance more, others I like in the friendmance more. They each have their own appeals to me.

I love you. xD I was trying to find that song earlier simply because I like it (but I couldn't remember the title). So not only have I found that song again, I have to agree - it fits perfectly for Merrill's Act 3 quest. Now I love that song even more.

Still going through the other songs people have listed. Good picks so far, from what I've been listening to.

And I got a good laugh at that fan art. Love Hawke's expression!

Edit: Also - I finally finished inking! Whoo-hoo! Onto backgrounds. That's the only other possibly time-consuming thing... Shading won't take long with what I have in mind. I might have these comics done before tomorrow afternoon.

Sweet, more to read tonight. I'll have to take a look at the new fanfic posted, what, last page, as well.

Dalish - Looking forward to it I'll be driving most of tomorrow (going to Halifax to see Hobo with a Shotgun), but I'll definitely be looking at it tomorrow night.

I'm compiling notes to write my own. I can't do something if I don't think it's done right.

I agree, but I like some parts of the friendship romance.

I certainly don't agree that the relationship feels superficial or any less deep in the friend romance.

Boths paths are great and if you like the rival one better, good. I still haven't decided which one I like better, but neither of them is superficial.

I agree. I honestly don't like the friendship romance except the Lady Hawke version. The Male version just feels too close to a Tali romance. I find the rival romance more personal, honest, and real.

For the friendship romance, Merrill is completely in love with Hawke, and Hawke completely supports Merrill. There isn't any drama, because, for the friendly romance, you don't need tinted glasses to see the world in rose.

In the rival version I find them both equals. Hawke isn't just agreeing and doing as Merrill bids. Hawke disagrees and speaks honestly. Merrill disagrees and speaks honestly. Hawke doesn't just do as Merrill bits. Merrill doesn't just do as Hawke bids. But they both know they care about each other, and have come to an undertstanding. It's a real life romance.

Ok, I understand that you like the rival romance better, but saying that the friend romance isn't similar to a a real life romance... yeah, no. It is just as real as the rival one.

Note that even in the friendly romance, Hawke often comments about Merrill's safety. Nobody's being submissive, Hawke just understands Merrill's determination and either agrees with it or thinks it's her decision, and it's not his right to force her to do anything, just as she doesn't impose anything on Hawke's actions throughout the game. They care about each other, with fewer barriers between them.

Hey, if it wasn't for, "To each their own.", the world would be a boring place. I like both relationships, but as I would fully support Merrill in real life, I also fully support her in game, because I see sense in what she does. They're both real relationships, just one is more turbulent.

It's not the same when everyone keeps saying "it's rainbows all the time". That's what I mean.

A real romance has moments when a couple have fights.

I don't believe that the friendship romance is any less of a real life romance. I find that is a bit patronizing to those of us who prefer the friendship romance path. I play my Hawke as a character who feels that she is right in restoring history and never forgetting who or what you came from, considering Hawke's history with Parthalan. Do I believe that the way she was doing it was dangerous? Yes I Do. But I also believe that it could have worked. And if not Hawke would be there to do what needed to be done. I also feel that there are times in real life, where everyone just needs that one person to believe in what they are doing for them to succeed, and that is what my Hawke does with Merrill. He believes that she can do it, even if no one else does and will be there to support her whether she succeeds or fails, another real life romance trait.
