Please distinguish crazy Alistair fangirls from other kinds. Or I'll have to recuse myself. 
Why, why can't we all just get along?! Zevran and Alistair eventually do.
I bet they even give each other one
Now that I'd like to see.
awkward side-hug after the Blight ends.
Oh.
I haven't looked too deeply into Alistair threads, so I haven't come across much of hte crazy stuff yet. And I did try to post what I liked about him, but I kept getting distracted by things I didn't like.
Here's something I do like though - I do think his weaknesses are realistic. I do believe in the character. He'd probably make a good partner, if not for the king thing getting in the way. I do like that he's not a perfect character. He's entitled to some weaknesses and he has other admirable qualities - it just happens to be that his weaknesses push my particular buttons. For somebody else he'd be more than fine. I imagine a lot of people would fall in love with somebody like that in real life. Zevran's utter, unquestioning devotion is probably less realistic - although not completely unrealistic. Meeting somebody like him would be quite unusual.
