Somebody tell me I don't need to write a story about Merrill learning to adjust to life in a human city.

Somebody.

I shouldn’t start a DA2 fic.
I’ve got two Origins fics.  A post-Awakenings fic.  And something like three OPs all incomplete.
 
And yet…
Damn you, Anders.  Quit dry humping my muse without taking off your fancy rebel mage coat with its whimsical feathered pauldrons.
Ugh, at least my indecision on names and story titles will keep me from jumping into this immediately.  It took me ages to settle on Margaret for my Amell/Anders fic.  I wanted something that had verifiable historical existence pre 1400, with multiple common diminutives (the reason for that was going to be A Thing but I eventually decided against it.  It may get a one-off line explaining how her nickname changed from before she went to the tower to after.)  God only knows how long it’ll take me to settle on a Hawke’s name since I've got specifics in mind that are easily as bizarre. 
 

Well I for one will be anxiously awaiting whenever you give in to the muse.

I spend a whole playthrough of DA2 welding myself to Carver, then I play as a warrior and... Bethany is growing on me. Like a tumor. And now I have a nagging need to write a short story about Bethany (among other DA2 story ideas I have on hold.)

[DrunkenMonkey]

aw god why does it feel like ive broken my ribs?

[SurelyForth]

DA2 has broken my long fic. I just don't know what to do with it now because the ending I had planned seems so deeply wrong in light of what happens in DA2. Even if it's AU, I hate going that far out of bounds.

And I am aching to write the DA2 companions (which is how I'm justifying how much time I've spent playing this past week). I have a Hawke I want to use, and I have a title. I just need to figure out how to structure it and where to start.

[sabreene]

I commiserate. DA2 broke my fic months ago, when I realized it was going in the same direction (smackdown between mages & templars in the Free Marches) as my storyline.

Now that I know how they played out their story I can see how to weave it into mine.... but to get there would be sooo long. And really, I just want to start in DA2 with the companions & Hawke. It's all I can think of since I started playing again. Dammit. Things are just begging to be written.

And, Hi !!

[Taiyama]

Is there a topic for short, one post stories about DA2 somewhere on this forum? Or heck, is this it? If not, I think I'm going to go make one.

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

According to the stickied rules of the forum, we're only allowed to post links to art and stories. We can't post the stories themselves.

Not that this has stopped artists from embedding their pics, however.

Edit: But to answer your question, I don't believe there is a fanfic listing for DA2 yet.

[Sialater]

Well, we can always post our links here, I guess.

[LupusYondergirl]

@Sarah: you may not be waiting long. I couldn't resist, I started writing about Placeholder Hawke last night. No idea when I'll actually have a full chapter done, though.

[tallon1982]

I'm cracking and deciding to see if I can pull off two fics at once. The old one I'm working on still and getting closer to finishing and the new one inspired by DA2. We shall see how it goes lmao.

[Sialater]

I've got two MEs in the works. Currently on the back burner thanks to Anders. Dammit, Anders!

[Taiyama]

Well, if we can post links to fanfiction here, I might as well post the short little story I did to better characterize Jade Hawke here.

Any constructive criticism is appreciated, though please keep in mind I typed that out quickly, without editing, just out of boredom.

[tallon1982]

I gave in and here's to hoping this isn't too crappy...my DA2 fic begins...

[Sialater]

Good starts, both of you.

[Dean_the_Young]

As a note, over at FFN Anders really seems to be stealing the show in terms of character focus. Anders brooding alone, Anders brooding in a relationship with Hawke, Anders brooding with other people...

Usually you see (Main Character) as the biggest focus for the fandom, but so far it seems to be a runaway (Anders)-(Main Character)-(Everyone Else), in that order.



Personally, I'm waiting for the first parody/comedy story called 'Goddamn it, Anders!', or some variety. Making fun of, well, you know. That scene.

[Twofold Black]

I'm surprised to hear that, given how Anders' story turns out, and that Fenris strikes me as broodier and has three years of pining built pretty explicitly into his romantic subplot. Is it that Anders had a preexisting fandom? Is it that Fenris is more of a, well, unsympathetic dick moment-to-moment than Anders is?

[Dean_the_Young]

You might also point out a greater trend towards mage-sympathy reflecting towards Anders. Not his act, but rather everything leading up to it: probably one of the golden moments of the game, after all, is how many people felt they could completely agree with him up until he did that.

[darkrose]

I'm kind of surprised that Fenris still doesn't have a tag on FF.net.

[LupusYondergirl]

Someone has to request tags, I guess no one went to post a Fenris story yet. (or no one who knew that, at least).
It doesn't take long for them to be added. I requested one for Anders a couple days after Awakening came out and it was up within a few hours, IIRC.

[Merilsell]

I'm still writing my Origin story and am far from being finished...and aside of that, nothing in DA-the spinoff (also known as DA2 for whatever reasons) captivates me so that I feel the urge to put it in story form. While it is a nice game I find Hawke overly bland as well as most of the companions, so yeah I'm staying with my snarky Dalish and her snarky companions

As for Anders being fan-favorite IDK...he had a pretty decent fan-base before this, after all. And while I liked him in DA:A...He is thoroughly creeping me out in DA2. Seriously. *runs for cover*

[LupusYondergirl]

I have a name... now I just need a title.

[Maria13]

Just a bit of Alistair DA2 fluff, really.

Here's a short blurb of something that WILL NOT LEAVE ME ALONE:

Disappearing Heroes:

Moira leaned her sword within easy reach against the table. The cryptic note she’d received had merely mentioned she’d needed be here gave no details. She’d only come because she was hoping to find a clue to the recent bizarre rumors she’d been hearing around Denerim, Highever, Amaranthine and Redcliffe. Rumors so indistinct but identical they made her uneasy.

The heavy plate armor she wore was noisy as she shifted uncomfortably in her chair. Her back felt exposed despite being against the wall as she watched the room warily. She was sitting in the exact table in the exact spot the note had instructed her to. If this was an assassination attempt, it was the most obvious trap she’d ever walked into. She should have told Zevran and Alistair where she was going, or even Shale.

Her blue eyes scanned the room, wondering who among these rather decrepit and derelict individuals had sent her the note. But none of them looked arrogant enough or heavily armed enough to try to take on the Hero of Ferelden. For the most part they all pretty much ignored her. A waitress slopped a tankard onto the rough wooden table and Moira flipped her a couple of silvers. Far too generous, she knew, but perhaps that would keep the woman out of her hair for a while. Again, her blue eyes wandered back to the door, and she wished her pointed ears could hear more than the general noise of drunken men and women and shouting servers.

The door finally did open and Moira straighted up from her slouch. A tall, statuesque red-head entered, pausing to let her eyes adjust in the dimness of the tavern. She wore the trappings of mage, Moira could tell, even if they weren’t the traditional robes. The bladed staff she wore strapped to her back was also a dead giveaway. Automatically, Moira readied Stone’s Fist in her memory and gathered her mana to strike. The other woman must’ve sensed it because her head snapped around and bright green eyes narrowed in Moira’s direction. The eyes seemed to take in Moira’s appearance, however and come to a conclusion. The leggy redhead crossed the room, arrogantly not watching her surroundings and pulled a chair out at the Hero’s table and sat down, slouching, her staff in easy reach against her chair. She was exactly as Zevran and Alistair had described her.

“So, the Hero of Ferelden, I presume?” the other mage drawled in a dry Ferelden accented voice, similar to Moira’s own.

Moira smirked, “Champion of Kirkwall.”

Green eyes narrowed in a smile, “Margaret Hawke, at your service.”

“Moira Surana, at yours. I’m going to take a shot in the dark here and guess that you got a mysterious message? Cryptic, no details?”

The human woman nodded, “I did. You know? I thought you’d be taller.”

Moira laughed, “You probably also thought I’d be human. Though the stories about you have you twenty feet tall and breathing fire.”

“Only in the morning, before I brush my teeth.”

“And the twenty feet tall part?”

“Small exaggeration.”

Moira sighed, “I do have one question. Is Anders with you?”

The redhead sat up suddenly, her green eyes glaring, “If this was a trap to get to him through me...”

Moira held up a hand placatingly, “Of course not. But I was his commanding officer for a year or so. Before he transferred to the Free Marches.”

The wide green eyes narrowed again. “So you knew what he’d become.”

The elfmage nodded, sadly. “I knew. None of us wanted Justice to die. Andraste’s ass, I offered. But Anders wouldn’t hear of it. And Alistair had a fit when he heard I’d offered.”

“Being on the first name basis with a king. I guess heroism has it’s privileges.”

Moira laughed, “Something like that. Zevran told me he met you. He said you were pretty.”

“He was the one who told you about Anders, then?”

“Of course. He did describe a few of your other friends, too. You and I apparently both know Isabella.”

“Do you have a Grey Warden tattoo?” Margaret blurted.

Moira blinked at the non-sequiter, “Yes.”

“Did you? With Anders?” Her eyes narrowed, but her tone was upset.

Moira laughed, “No, I never did. I, uh, I’m taken. Flirted, but...,” she shrugged. “Before Justice he flirted with everyone. And I mean everyone. It was hard to take him seriously, so I didn’t. Which is good. You met both of my... lovers... after all.”

Margaret choked on the swallow of ale she’d just taken, “Wow, and I thought my friendship with Fenris was complicated.”

Moira shrugged, uncomfortable. “So, if you didn’t send that note, and I didn’t send you a note. Why are we here?”

“I have no idea. Tell me, did you ever meet a Witch of the Wilds?”

“I’ve met two,” Moira responded, warily.

“Oh. Really? Two?” Margaret shook her head. “The one I met was old. Older than dirt.”

“Ah. Flemeth. She might not be too happy to see me next time we meet. I killed her. Or at least one of her bodies.”

Margaret stared at Moira. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Why?”

“To protect my friend. Her daughter.”

“She mentioned a daughter.”

“I’ll bet. Somehow, I’m not surprised she still exists. I’ll bet you the next round, she sent us these notes.” Moira took a drink of her own ale.

Margaret snorted, “No bet. That’s too easy.”

That's all I've got so far. It's the same Moira as in The Rescue.

 I haven't tried my hand much at writing fanfic in the past.  Part of that is because I read what others write and I'm immediately daunted - there are some amazingly talented people in this community.  But since DA2 makes me want to write, I'm giving it a shot.  Hopefully I stick with it. 

Here's the first of it:
