Some Other Story

by After88

From the moment she set eyes on Varric Tethras, some part of Hawke knew he'd be more than just an average friend. Sure, she wasn't supposed to trust him from the get go, she should have been more suspicious of him taking her hard earned expedition money and running off, but she wasn't.It could have been the fact that he outright admitted to being a liar and wore it as a badge of pride, spending hours spinning tales in a tavern, mostly for his own amusement. Maybe it was the fact he always offered to buy a round or four when she didn't have any money to spare. Or maybe because he was one of the few people that took their time getting to know her instead of judging her as a stoic, hard-headed brute.But it was probably because under that rogue tongue and flashy clothes was a hidden heart of gold.

She's Not Coming

by LMSharp

9:25 Dragon. “The twisted inlets and convoluted paths of the Wounded Coast made for convenient rendezvous spots. For smugglers and bandits, sure, but also for getting away from Kirkwall in a hurry on perfectly legal—albeit frowned-upon—business.”Bianca Davri was meant to meet Varric up on the Wounded Coast to run away from Kirkwall and her disapproving family. But when the time comes, someone else meets him instead.

A Child of Kirkwall

by LMSharp

9:06 Dragon. “Father’s told us the ancestors wouldn’t even let us in the gates of Orzammar, so who needs them? Gav and Chez are fun—” “They’re vermin and sons of vermin,” Bartrand said. “Father says so. You want to grow up like them? They'll be shop assistants or street sweeps or smiths that couldn’t forge Orzammar’s garbage. Or you want to be like your little fisher-girl friend? She's the worst of them all. At least humans know what they are.”Varric Tethras runs wild on the streets of Kirkwall—much to his brother Bartrand’s displeasure—and Varric already has his own ideas about who his friends should be.

Relationships take Time

by tigereyes45

Varric has just met Hawke. Varric and Hawke butt heads and he doesn't see them ever becoming decent acquaintances let alone anything more. Hawke is rude, loud, and distracting. Even more so than Bianca ever was, Hawke does care about two things at least. When he sits down and thinks about it she is like that with everyone. Varric learns time and circumstances change things. People especially.

Kalna and Ascendant

by LMSharp

9:25 Dragon. “Bianca grinned and walked up to the table and set down her sack. She opened it up and carefully drew out poor old Gerav’s Model Fourteen—but Model Fourteen like Varric had never seen her.”In the course of investigating a counterfeiting ring in Kirkwall, Varric Tethras comes across a carta artificer’s nonfunctioning prototype for a repeating crossbow, and when he takes it to a local smith, the smith’s daughter, Bianca Davri, takes an interest—in the crossbow, in the investigation, and in Varric himself.
