Duncan examined himself in the mirror critically. "You know," he said. "I think my father got married in armour," he said.


Nathaniel chuckled. "Anora was still alive then," he said. "He spent a lot of time in armour."


"As did most of the palace population, I seem to recall," Anders added. 


"Somehow, this feels silly," Duncan continued.


"Take my word for it," Anders said. "You look extremely handsome. Amelie won't be able to wait to take it all off."


"You really don't check before you open your mouth, do you Anders," Nathaniel said as Duncan blushed.


"Never have, never will," the mage replied. "Are you ready? We're going to be late."


The throne room had been set up expertly, with the help of Cecile and Leliana (fast friends). It was hung with silk buntings. Bouquets of Andraste's grace stood in every niche and the scent was enough to make Duncan dizzy. Amelie had proclaimed it her favourite flower. 


He made his way to the throne, greeting nobles on his left and right. Nathaniel and Anders kept close by him.


"You never married, did you Anders?" Duncan said under his breath as they walked.


Nathaniel chuckled suddenly. Anders flushed. "Not.. exactly," he said. 


Duncan's eyes widened and he almost stopped and demanded an explanation. "Probably a tale you should have asked him another time," Nathaniel said. "You won't have time for the details today."


"Or ever," Anders muttered.


They reached the throne and turned. The chantry sister smiled at him. He gulped.


A few minutes later Amelie appeared. He didn't take in the details of the gown (white satin, with a train, Leliana told him later). He didn't see Leliana and Cecile on either side of her, or the Empress, or anyone else save for his bride. Her green eyes sparkled at him and she was grinning - a most unladylike expression on her wedding day, but it suited her more than any serene acceptance could have. He matched her grin as she approached and took her hand.


It was sweating.

I was going to make this last chapter longer and full of finery and frippery, possibly with drinking and carousing, but I figure you can all imagine that without me telling you! I'm sure Oghren and Anders got up to something naughty later on though. Possibly with Leliana and Cecile.



I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who's been reading and reviewing, both here and on FFnet. I don't think I've ever had as much fun writing!
