Alright guys, theoretical question time!
For those who allowed Anders to live, how involved do you see him being in the mage uprising that followed in your Hawke's canon?
I know various people have him going into hiding or running away with Hawke and Izzy in their head canon, but for the others, do you see him as being involved in organising the rebellion, assisting escapees and fighting against the templars?
Or do you think (in your own stories) that his big moment was in Kirkwall and what follows is him laying low and staying out of trouble, and perhaps doing some real research into his condition?
ETA: And for those who are pro-mage but still killed Anders, how involved do you imagine your Hawke was in the uprising?
Judging by his passionate and eager speech in the gallows I can't imagine him laying low and having an "ordinary" life. I think he fully realises what he's started and since my Hawke denied him the martyr death he thought was just now he's got a new calling - which is to help out mages around Thedas. I even think most of them might see him as this great hero who sacrifised to start what needed to happen in order for them to get a chance at freedom.
I can totally see him as this great leader that is both an angel and a demon - a healer and a monster. BUT what I like to imagine is Hawke being his personal champion - the leader of his little rebellion and maybe even a mage army

I imagine Hawke and Anders will travel around Thedas organising mages into rebellion groups, establishing bases of operation, appointing leaders, gaining followers. Probably trying to get the ordinary folk to understand their plight and not be afraid. But they might need to conceal Anders' identity for this part - maybe hide him or just pretend he is not THE mage who blew up the chantry. Because I can imagine lots of pitchfork anger.
What I am interested in is seeing what mages will be like if they break from their circles and go into hiding - are we going to get a massive wave of blood magic and abominations running around setting peasants on fire? Or are we going to get alot less of that. I do think the system needs to change to grant mages more freedom and rights but I'm not comfortable with retards having the power to slaughter hunderds running around. Hawke and Anders' rebellion will need a system in order to control mages tempted to abuse their new found freedoms.
Edit: Oh I have been reading these gorgeous fics on the kink meme about Justice falling in love with Hawke in the future - I think I no longer have any desire to separate Anders from Justice - I want to save Justice from Vengeance and watch him learn to love Hawke as much as Anders does. I'm in a sweet mood
