OMG APOLLO IT HAS SIGRUN IN IT!!! I WANT!
*goes to change sig now*

Btw, I finally finished DA2... It was exciting... and I understand what they meant when reviewers whined about it being anticlimatic. Imho it was more like a gigantic cliffhanger. I hope DA3 would be blasting awesome!

Oh and dwarves, elves, humans, qunari as romances. Because MUST!

Here, since I think it's not getting posted anywhere else, is the short story I wrote for Varric ages ago.

Bluffing

The Hanged Man: Loud, stinks of spilled ale, burned meat, and at any hour of the day is full of honest people doing desperate, crazy, or embarrassing things they won't remember in the morning.

My favorite place in the world.

Gallard rubs his ear and glares at me over his cards. “Well, are you in, or not?” Poor elf's lost four sovereigns so far, and the night's not looking up for him. He shifts in his chair.

“I'm in.” I toss another silver onto the pile. “Ser Thrask?” The templar is staring at his hand as if Blessed Andraste might be appearing to him. She could be, for all I know. He's had three pints, and he's swaying slightly.

At the sound of his name, Thrask looks up from his cards and squints at me. “You're bluffing. You can't fool me, dwarf.”

“The last three hands beg to differ,” Gallard mutters, still rubbing his ear. He's got a notch taken out of it -- got off lucky in a Darktown knife fight a few years back, and he can't keep his hands off the scar when he's nervous. “If you're calling, call. Don't just make eyes at him.”

“Well, can you blame him? I am awfully pretty.” I brush some imaginary dust from my coat. Gallard struggles not to laugh and succeeds when the tavern door opens.

“Varric Tethras? Has anybody seen Varric Tethras?” The messenger is in Merchant Guild livery. It's not so much a specific uniform as a visible aura of self-importance. He doesn't come more than two steps inside, possibly for fear of being attacked or, more likely, because he doesn't want to get any Lowtown on his clothes.

“Never heard of him.” Comes the chorus from around the room. The messenger stands by the doorway for another heartbeat, squinting into the dark tavern, then turns on his heel and leaves.

“Well, ser knight?” I break out my most charming smile for Thrask, who responds by downing the remaining ale in his tankard.

The templar nods. “I'll see that silver, and raise you another.”

“I'm out.” Gallard sighs. “And you, ser, are crazier than a bag of wolverines.”

“I'm in.” I smile again and gesture for the waitress.

“So now I've lost four and a half sovereigns to you, Varric, I want to know: What's this story about your brother going into the Deep Roads?” Gallard leans forward, and his eyes catch the light like a cat's.

“It's not much of a tale yet. I'll have to wait and tell it to you after we get back.” The waitress brings me a glass of wine, which I make a great show of sniffing. The Hanged Man's wine cellar is terrible. I don't actually drink anything here. I order wine because it makes people in taverns nervous if you spend all night talking to them and you never have a glass in your hand.

“No one comes back from the Deep Roads.” Thrask mutters. He actually does drink here. If I had his job, I'd probably drink more, too.
“Four-fingered Eddie is giving this expedition of Bartrand's fifteen-to-one odds against, Varric.” Gallard shakes his head. Trust the Coterie to run the numbers on my life expectancy. I just smile and shake my head.

The tavern door slams open and another messenger appears. “Varric Tethras? I need to find Varric Tethras. It's an urgent matter of business.”

“Never heard of him.”

The second messenger disappears.

The templar scowls. “You're going to get killed down there. I've heard the Fereldan refugees talking. Twisted monsters that live in the dark.”

The elf nods, rubbing his notched ear. “Honestly, Varric. Let Bartrand go by himself.”

I shake my head again. “Thrask, are you in?”

“I call.” Thrask lays his cards on the table and sits back, waiting.

“Four knights.” I smile, gathering up my winnings. “I wouldn't take that bet, Gallard. I'm not always bluffing, you know.”

Very intresting Mary, thank you.

I looked at that picture and I have to say that after the initial shock and horror I'm starting to find it hilarious. Not even such abject defilement can taint the awesome that is Varric. He just throws it right back at you with a smirk.

If he had been in DAO I bet this would have been his Fade nightmare.

In Varric's Fade nightmare, not only would he be dressed conservatively and have a proper dwarven beard, he would be unironically discussing the good old days in Orzammar, and how sad it is that it seems like change is forcing its way into the Assembly. And then he'd attend a meeting and do some paperwork.

You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

That was so good. Marketing needs to be kicked in the kneecaps.

Do you think you could convince Luke to post the Aveline one?

Try poking him for one..? Though my feeling is it will either have Wesley or Benoit du Lac in it.

@sweetie Can't ride Varric pony because of squickiness..? Okay then.

Mary isn't as scary.

Is that bad?

[XBeth]

Yay, Varric pony is just the cutest! Adding it to my wish list just after the Varric pillow ^^

By the way, someone should write a ff about Varric dressing as his imaginative cousin and complaining about it to Hawke. Hmm the potential - okay head out of the gutter now!

I mentioned it to him, and I think he currently has top men working on it.

[Maria Caliban]

Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!

That said, I'm sure what I envision when you say 'top men' is not what you mean.

Oh really? Which men? 


Or is that a quote from another movie.... or not a quote at all?

Top men.

He says this a lot.

[Giggles_Manically]

By that did he just make puppy eyes at Gaider to make him do it?

I feel like Merrill... Did I miss something dirty?

well he is the coolest character by far and I would love to see him in DA3 again but I don't/wouldn't like him as a LI. I love how me and him always end up just being best of friends throughout the story.

It could be taken dirty if you look sideways and squint your eyes (trust me, it's there), but it's more likely referencing the last scene from "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Varric fans have been around forever so I'm sure you guys don't need any more banners, but I've been wanting to make these for a while to go with my others, so here they are if anyone wants to use them.

Thanks! *squee*

[Rheia]

Ooh, ms. Kirby thank you for posting the story! Poor, poor dwarven merchants guild. Were they informed they'll have to suffer his cousin Elmand again? .

@Aris -- All right, thank you!!

[Dengarde]

Posted a LONG time ago in this thread, but it always makes me laugh, so I'm posting it again. *Giggle*

Also, Mary, (or whoever wrote for Varric, Don't know) Question: Would I be correct in assuming that the reason Varric is not a love interest is because on this Girl that Varric mentions? I'd LOVE to hear the story behind that one.

Otherwise, is it because of his role with Cassandra or Gaiders "Ew-ness" on Human/Dwarf romances? Or some other reason? Just curious.

Too manly for the playerbase.
