“Not sure you’re not gonna surprise me someday, either,” Bull replied with a laugh. “Just not today. And yeah, I’ve surprised other Ben Hassrath in my time. No one expects the big, dumb looking brute to be a spy, and a good one at that.”

His smile faded a little. “Ah, but that life’s over for me. I made my choice and now I’m here. But I wouldn’t trade my boys’ lives for anything. Even the Qun, as it turns out.”

Aubrey’s eyebrows lifted with a very skeptical stare up at the big lug. “Well spies can’t all be wiry and shifty-looking. How would there be any good spies if everyone knew what to look for all the time?” People didn’t really expect Varric to be a spymaster either, what with his occupations as merchant (begrudgingly) and storyteller.

“For what it’s worth...I think you did the right thing. Maybe it’s because I’m not horribly religious, but I don’t think beliefs are worth more than family. And when you have a tight-knit group like your Chargers...” Hawke shrugged. “They become more than friends. It’s a family of choice.”

Varric laughed, patting Hawke on the arm and shifting away playfully. “Now, now, you know Bianca’s off limits,” he chided, keeping his face straight. “I’m the only one who’s allowed to pull her trigger. And yours, for that matter.”

Honestly, she couldn’t help the grin on her face. It was a special kind of smile just for Varric, just a little bit wider than usual, a little more lopsided, vibrant blue eyes softened while drinking in the sight of her trusty Dwarf. Hawke was tempted to say spoilsport when he denied her access to Bianca, but what came out was “Definitely.” The diminutive human was playful, sassy, a bit flirtatious. But she definitely knew at this point: the only hands she wanted on her were Varric’s. Toned arms flexed as she folded them on the bar top (thank goodness for stools that boosted her height) and shifted so her bosom was comfortably resting on her forearms. It gave Corff an unwittingly lovely view, one the bartender was wise enough to only glance at once before recalling who was at Hawke’s side. “Just so you know: Bianca’s the only woman I’m willing to share you with. I know the ladies--and some of the gentlemen--love the chest hair, but I’m trusting her to dissuade them.”

Hawke: I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself.

“See, then it’s a win-win for both of us,” Varric replied with a grin. “You don’t need to fish for compliments, Serah Hawke. We all know you’re the face of this relationship. And maybe Bianca wants a chance to defend you, too.”

“Oh my~” She leaned into Varric with a playful grin as they waited for Corff to get their drinks. “Careful, there, Varric. Bianca may just seduce me away from you if she keeps being so chivalrous. I may have to get my fingers on her trigger.”

Bull stepped back when she started to throw a punch toward him. “You don’t have to be Ben-Hassrath to learn to read people,” he replied with a smile. “You just need to learn to pay attention. Anyone can do it. And yeah, Varric’s told us a few stories about you. I listen. It kinda used to be my job.”

A pity the shot didn’t connect. Not that Aubrey was really feeling particularly malicious. And also she didn’t really want to have to consider that hey, she touched an unfamiliar prick. So she settled for the fact she’d proven hey, he didn’t read her perfectly.

Hawke knew Varric hadn’t told everyone everything. Some things got to stay private. But she wasn’t exactly going to question Bull about what Varric had said. “Still not convinced I’m not going to surprise you at a key moment. You’ve surprised other Ben-Hassrath from what I’ve heard.”

Interactive Map of Thedas v.2.0

An update! A bit later than I anticipated because I discovered that tumblr removes input fields from custom pages and had to find another hosting solution.

New Features:

Ability to hide/show features (borders, labels, etc.)

Deep Roads Map (many thanks to higheverrains, who allowed me to extrapolate from their Deep Roads theory and add it as a feature to the map! It is hidden by default but can be viewed by checking “Show Deep Roads Map” under Show Features.)

Two different distance grids (each with 30km/60km versions based on average walking/riding distance in a day) based on different theories.

Labels on the oceans and seas!

Added a handful of additional locations from DAI

Improvements / Bug Fixes:

Zooming in/out functions more smoothly now

West Hill is now in the correct location (… also thanks to higheverrains)

… Rivain no longer gets chopped in half when you zoom in on it.

Coming Soon(ish):

My next goalpost is to refactor some of the code to make the map load more quickly. Once that is complete, I’ll probably gradually move into adding additional detail based on the location maps from DAI. Let me know if you are interested in helping out! (No coding experience required, just a basic image editor and some patience)

Interested in seeing more?

Let me know what you’d like to see! If you go the extra mile and give me rough coordinates for the location on the map + the zoom factor you were viewing it at when you got the coordinates, I can have it up much more quickly!

Let me know if you see any incorrect/outdated information.

Bull laughed, shaking his head slightly at Hawke. “Oh, I know you’re in perfect strike range. But you won’t.” He already knew some about her from his conversations with Varric and his spy training told him that her grin didn’t scream I’m going to follow through on that threat even a little.

Hmmmmmmm. Should she be offended he wasn’t taking her seriously? Gold-fringed eyes narrowed in contemplation. Pros to taking a cheap shot: she might take him by surprise. Cons to taking a cheap shot: Varric had to live with the man. And later, she’d have to live with Varric.

Almost casually, her right fist flew up and out with an accuracy few but rogues could manage on such short notice. “You’re not the first Ben-Hassrath I’ve met,” Hawke declared as she moved out of retaliation range, seemingly unhurried but still not exactly slow. “I know my trusty Dwarf’s been talking about me, if only in telling the Tale of the Champion.”

“You’re not wrong. And next time a guy makes assumptions, let me handle it. Maybe I’d like a little bit of fighting action every now and then.” He chuckled and took her hand firmly in his, leading her toward the Hanged Man for drinks. “Or maybe I’d like a chance to defend your honor for once.”

Aubrey managed to fight back a pout, but not a roll of her eyes as she let herself be led by the dashing rogue. A delicate lady she was not (to Leandra’s affectionate exasperation). “But we all know: you’re the pretty one, Varric.” Was she fishing for compliments? Maybe, maybe not. Certainly Hawke was joking with the Dwarf. “I might just swoon if I see you fighting for my honour, Serah Tethras. It’s already a thrill when you fight at my side.”

Dragon Age: Inquisition actually spoiled me on making Aubrey’s face and now I’m just groaning inside because Dragon Age 2 just let me give her a broken nose and impressive cheekbones.

“FFFFFFFFFffffffffffffuck!” Anthracite clapped her palm to her forehead. “I knew I was forgettin’ something. Titties.” Proudly exclaimed. “Next time, I’ll just flash ‘em at him while I’m sneakin’ cards in. You’re brilliant!”

Hawke chuckled, a decidedly playful twinkle in bright blue eyes. “I would pay to see that, actually. Would that be illegal if I did though? Considering you’re, you know, leader of the Inquisition? Or maybe that would fall under some sort of sacrilege, since you’re the Herald of Andraste.”

“…Twenty minutes? On just the short and curlies? You could have cheated and just used the wood grain for that.”

“Solas’ been teachin’ me about light and shadow. I wanted t’get the shading of the sunlight on the dingleberries just right–I can’t do tha’ yet with me dagger. Though, there are a few wibbly dicks on th’ tavern’s table. Specially where I may or may not have lost several games o’ wicked grace t’ Varric. Maybe.”

“Ahhhh yes. One must make the most of one’s graffiti. Though if you focused a little less on phallic genitalia, you might stand a better chance against Varric. Or if you changed seats so he’s where you’ve been perfecting your art.”

Well, that just took the wind out of her sails. The chin jutting rebelliously up and forwards came down, the tension draining from sturdy shoulders as Aubrey let the Dwarf bestow affection upon her. She experimentally probed at the cut inside her lip from a lucky shot the other bastard got in, and drifted in towards Varric’s side. “Good. Alright. Could use a drink.” But there was a flush under a covering of freckles. “He really deserved it. He can take his assumptions and go fuck them.”
