One of my fave Cassandra/Varric ff writer just reposted this amazing work [Flowers for the Seeker], if you want to have a good time, check it out (and leave a comment, the writer is super nice and deserves it) (yeah, it's restricted)

the thing about Cassandra and Varric is that they are just SO GOOD, SO CHOICE, SO 👀🥺😳 because like…they hate each others guts, they have so much in common, they’re both the family renegade, they both lost their only brother, they both have grand, outsized public personas that eclipse the people they actually are, brave and stubborn and loyal to a fault, they would very probably - with little sentiment and hardly a second thought - die for each other, but lock them in a room together and you’d return to an icy silence at best, they won’t give each other a single goddamn inch, after their biggest fight both of them will apologise to YOU the Inquisitor and admit they were at least partly wrong but they both point-blank refuse to talk to each other, but Cassandra WILL speak to you earnestly and gently about Varric’s faith and his virtuous heart, and Varric WILL write an entire NOVEL just…for a joke…for the lulz… as if writing an entire smooshily romantic smutty romance novel is an absolutely normal amount of effort to put into a Jape™ for someone who hates you, because of COURSE they hate each other, Varric even tells Dorian outright that just because two people don’t get along doesn’t mean they’re going to kiss, not like in his books, but the thing is his books are EVERYTHING because he believes in stories and so does Cassandra, it’s how they met after all, they’re both romantics, idealists, people who care so much about the world and everyone in it, people who believe deep down in sunsets and roses and happy endings and heroes, she dragged him halfway across the world because she believed he could help and he stayed because he wanted to believe it too, she loves his books but she can’t stand HIM of course she can’t, she’s a Seeker of Truth and he’s a professional liar, and he’ll get along with just about anybody, embrace the rogues and reprobates of the world with open arms but not HER, she expects too little of him and demands too much, she’s got a stick up her ass except when she doesn’t and he takes nothing seriously except when he does, but no they’ll just keep sniping and bickering like an old married couple and fighting side by side as the world falls apart around them, looking everywhere with eyes wide open except at each other

All of this ^ But also, someone at Bioware must have wanted us to ship it at least a little, unless they wouldn’t have made THIS shot at the end of Trespasser:

I mean, why are they looking at each other like that???

The secret to a peaceful tumblr experience is that every once in a while you gotta be deeply fucking cringe on main so only the strong will keep following you.

bickering endlessly like the idiots they are

You guys don’t understand it, this is c a n o n. 

It is written into the game that they have a background relationship  (not necessarily romantic) during Tresspasser: we don’t have any indication that Cassandra wants a  new book or that Varric is writing it for her, but here it is. And - AND - everyone else is leaving one by one in different directions but these two just walk off together, wtf??? This has meaning u guys.

Galavant was trying to set us up. Hilarious! Creepy, right? Disgusting!
