Summary
Alistair has always represented a triumvirate of things Asha Mahariel resents: human, Chantry, and Grey Wardens. She has worked hard to overcome the dislike in order to work with him, but it’s been difficult, and she tends to take out anger and frustration on him by snarking.
But after being rocked in quick succession by Tamlen's re-appearance as a ghoul and his shade at the shrine to Andraste, encounters which were emotionally difficult for the normally hard-bitten and pragmatic Asha, it is Alistair, not her love interest, Zevran, who was supportive immediately afterwards. And, despite herself, she found herself finally feeling an emotional bond with Alistair that went beyond necessity.
A rare attempt at a non-romantic relationship with Alistair and friendship fic, on my part.
In addition to the Mahariel/Zevran pairing, there is an implied Alistair/Leliana relationship based on the previous "Also Ran", part of this series.
