Summary:

mol·ly house (noun): 1. (British, historical slang) A Regency Era meeting venue for cross-dressing and/or gay men, often a tavern or coffee-house. — Regency AU. The dashing Mr Garrett Hawke meets Doctor Anders at a local molly-house, and sparks fly.

———————

Mr Garrett Hawke, most eligible bachelor in Kirkwall, was said to be looking for a wife. Tall, handsome, rich, and living in an estate so grand that its balcony boasted the best views over the city, it was a truth universally acknowledged that not a single lady in Hightown would refuse him… if he asked.  

The only problem was that any reported desire for marriage was little more than wild speculation; for Mr Hawke, as charming as he was to every lady in Hightown, had no interest in any of them. This made him enigmatic, elusive, desirable even; for many noble young ladies and their mothers saw such a gentleman as a challenge to capture and tame into matrimony—but the truth was really that Mr Hawke preferred to spend time at a certain coffee-house where men consorted with men.

High society would be scandalised by the many love affairs Mr Hawke had had from the venue in question, if they ever knew that particular coffee-house was a front for a molly-house (and notorious for it among men of Mr Hawke’s persuasion). Women were barred; like they were from so many coffee-houses or other places a gentleman would socialise in; so there was very little risk of Lady Leandra catching her son there, and very little risk of her gossipy female friends witnessing the revelry inside. On the rare occasion Mr Hawke was ever questioned on his predilection for frequenting the place, Mr Hawke would simply say he enjoyed the coffee.

But Mr Hawke’s more recent visits had nothing to do with the coffee—and everything to do with the new blond doctor that had suddenly started showing up of late...

------------

Three years of desperate aching culminates in this moment: 

Hawke, his body solid and strong, pressing Anders against the wall of the kitchen, the groceries he’d brought completely forgotten as the tension between them finally shatters like glass. Anders, already weak in the knees at just the look in Hawke's eyes, trying to hold on physically and mentally to the moment before slipping into his own insecurities.

Aghhh I'm so happy I got to work on this!!! I'm not that impressed anymore with my artwork but I know it is because I've seen it for far too long, if 14 y/o me would have gotten the chance to see this they would be THRILLED.

Thanks to the mod team of @mhanderszine for setting everything up, it was very enjoyable and a big privilege! :)

This is the one I wrote for @mhanderszine! Another one of those quiet thoughtful things where characters feel stuff and not much happens, but I do think it's rather pretty. (Also pretty sure I've discovered my next Hawke for whenever I start DA2 again!)

Mages are free, but the people of Ferelden have been taught to fear them, and these scars take time and patience to heal. Anders fears he will never have a normal life with friends and neighbors, but Hawke believes in it enough for them both.
