I see Anders’ as Hawke soul mate, for better or worse. No matter what sex you play, or which character you ultimately end up romancing, I believe he loves you madly and truly throughout the course of the game. Thus the reason he’d “drown the whole world in blood, just to keep you safe” (I adored him for saying this) even if you didn’t romance him. And also the reason I think he’s 100 times more grumpy and hopeless if you don’t romance him. It’s like the life just drains out of him. He also mentions he feels like he knows you, very early in the game, which is strange because you just met, but a definite mark of a soul mate connection. And then later that you remind him of “someone” (the Warden).
I think his bi-sexual speech is telling: He does not feel that love should be restricted by the body you inhabit, he loves the soul for the souls sake. In your case, he loves YOUR soul – the spark you put into all of your characters. He loved your Warden, even though he never acted on it, and now he loves your Hawke no matter what sex you play, or faction you ultimately support. He can't help himself.
It’s beautiful and heartbreaking, and a huge part of the reason I could never bring myself to accept giving Kirkwall the justice it needed, or Anders the death he yearned for in the end. Because I knew, no matter what I’d done, he would never turn his back on me – never see me killed.
Here’s how I see the “You should have trusted me” scene playing out for my Hawke:
Hawke stood behind Anders, assessing, and weighing, her own inner turmoil battling with her love for the sad, broken man sitting slumped before her. Yet for all the turmoil in her, all of the questioning, she knew, had always known how, this would play out.
Quietly stepping around him, she knelt, touched his hand and whispered fiercely: “I’d drown the whole world in blood just to keep you safe.”
He finally met her eyes then, confusion warring on his features. “No…!”
“You can’t die – I will not allow it. If I have to kill every person here, I WILL keep you safe. You will live.”
Anders eyes burned into hers and his voice was harsh, and grief stricken when he spoke: “No, love, you can’t do this. This is MY choice, and the burden. I will not see you damned for me…”
“Your burdens, are my burdens, and your damnation mine” she whispered, before her eyes hardened, “and next time you think to do something so rash without involving me, you’d best remember that.”
"You would do no less for me. So for now, live. Live for me.... please. I can't do this alone." Her voice cracked at the end, and she could see acceptence there finally in his eyes.
Giving his hand a quick squeeze, she stood, and positioned herself between Anders and those waiting, proclaiming quietly and firmly: "Anders lives."
<sigh>
I do love me some Anders!!
I am slow to reply to this, but I want you to know that you are making me cry here. *sniff* I don't believe in soul mates in real life, but in a story world, sure.
*is a huge sap*
I know this was posted a few pages ago, but oh my goodness I love you for that! also made me think of this song

Then I started crying like a little girl, because I love me some Anders too!
As for the link on the review for the romances I couldn't agree more. My boyfriend romanced Anders. He blamed it on his rebelness lol.
