Been thinking a lot about Anders. ‘Bout his healing hands—warm and gentle as they barely graze your skin, tracing your wounds, itching to stray from their course.
Honey eyes, half-hidden beneath lids slitted in concentration; wandering along the curves he aches to drag his long, deft fingers along.
His bottom lip, slick with spit from licking them every time he catches you staring. His teeth sink into that same lip as he wills himself to ignore the voice at the back of his head. THIS INFATUATION IS ILL-ADVISED. The deep, dark bass of Justice’s proclamations are hard to disregard. YOU’RE GOING TO RUIN EVERYTHING AND FOR WHAT? THIS?
But a mewl, short and shaky rolls off your tongue as his thumb drifts over a particularly tender wound, and suddenly it’s all he can think of; replaying the sounds over and over in his head, stretching it out, basking in it as he tells you, “It’s okay, we’re nearly done.” in that complellingly soft, hushed tone he uses. More so to convince himself than you.
He has a very complicated relationship with The Maker, but he prays nonetheless to hear you moan and whimper for him at least one more time. That you’ll simper and smile if he cups your cheeks. That you might bat your lids as he breathes in the strangely intoxicating smell of you, balmy and copper tinged with your blood. That you’d pucker those sweet lips if he leaned down and kissed you.
But he’s not that man anymore. He’ll break your heart. And that might kill him as surely as the Templars.

With everything going so wrong, how can it ever get made right?
I wrote this in a fever like a year ago, and in a tiny little notepad that I remembered existing yesterday. Finally getting around to posting it, only after putting my foot in the door after posting Mercy. Technically part of a larger work, but that one is so seperate from this cuz that series is all in act 3, versus this is at the end of act 2.
Please can I request an accidental kiss with anders from Dragon Age :)
omg this is gunna be interesting!! love me some Anders!
Accidental Kiss Anders x GN Reader
Anders had a huge crush on you it was apparent for everyone to see.
He truly believed he wasn't deserving of you. but it wrecked his brain day and night. he needed to tell you because if he doesn't he feels like he's slowly going insane both around you and away from you
he can't focus when he's near you and hates being away from you so he needed to figure out a solution
it came down to the need to confess his feelings and deal with the aftermath accordingly
let's be honest he full-heartedly believes he will get rejected and perhaps he could move on after that...
or he could be crushed under the weight and no one will see him again
despite it all, you made plans to meet at a pretty forest area for a small picnic type hang out
somewhere away from all the stress, you both were under for the past few weeks. barely having time to yourself this sounded like a nice relaxing day.
Anders could not sit still for the life of him
Either he was tearing the grass, checking on Sir Pouncalot in a tree, or inspecting some random wild herb.
he barely sat next to you for more than 3 minutes before he found something else to worry about
watching him from the blanket you thought it was cute, I'm sure his little crush has not gone unnoticed by you.
you basically had to tackle him to make him sit by you for longer than 3 minutes.
and even then he wouldn't look at you
you finally spoke and asked "Anders your not you- something wrong?"
he didn't respond immediately
Anders felt like throwing up- he was so confident when plans were made and he knew he was acting too strangely. his heart was beating so fast that it made his palms sweaty.
you had to bring him out of his head so the bright Idea stuck you that you would get up close and blow on his neck to play a small trick and maybe he would lighten up.
he didn't sense your approach as you got closer. he decided it was now or never and he needed to say something then start his recovery process of getting over rejection
he turned quickly to answer your basically long-forgotten question.
only to crash into your lips on accident.
Anders immediately began apologizing profusely. only to be met with a small laugh from you
"not quite the way I intended to get you to look at me but hey, I'm not complaining," you said
when he didn't say anything you took up apologizing "sorry I know that I probably made it uncomfor-" "NO!" you were cut off by him "... I uh, I mean no no not uncomfortable" he gave a small laugh "I actually wanted to tell you how I feel or well you know!"
the look of hopefulness on his face was almost painful to your heart
you decide the best course of action would be to give him a small peck on the cheek and rest your body against his.
"so... is this a friendly cuddle orrr"
"it's a romantic cuddle Anders."
you will most likely have to keep trying to convince him the rest of the evening that you like him and yes he deserves you, but after that, he's on cloud nine.

The two of you hadn’t said much you each other over the last few days, ever since you parted ways from the others. You were angry, and Anders had resigned himself to that before all this happened.
For all the talking the two of you had done, all the hours spent going over what the two of you could do to make things better, he had gone behind your back and done this.
Why couldn’t he trust you with this? You weren’t some fragile flower that couldn’t handle it. Hell, if he’d simply asked, you would’ve helped him do it! You were about the only one in that damn city that agreed with him, that was on his side unequivocally, now...the two of you were like this.
You were tired of sleeping outside, on the hard ground, if this was to be your life now, because Maker help you, you still loved this man, then you needed a bed from time to time. Anders didn’t say anything when you said you were going to see if you could get one, he just nodded solemnly, and you just knew that he thought that this would be where you were parting ways.
The surprise on his face when you came back was damned near heart breaking.
“I’ve found us somewhere,” You said plainly, pretending that the look didn’t hurt. “It’s not pretty, but at least it’s warm and off this hard ground for a night.”
Making sure his face was hidden as much as possible, he followed you, and you were quick to lead him to the room, where you could both be safer behind a closed door.
Anders sighed and freed himself from his cloak when you closed the door, his voice quiet. “Thank you, love.”
You nodded, but made no further indication that you wanted to continue a conversation, heading to the fireplace and quickly getting it burning.
The awkward silence in the room was worse than what it had been on the road. It seemed to fill every small space and crevice until the two of you were just sitting there uncomfortably. This needed to be talked about, but for different reasons, neither of you wanted to start.
You finally stood, wanting to at least try and sleep the awkwardness away. “I’m heading to bed.”
He nodded slowly.
“Are you going to join me?”
Those golden eyes turned to you, and you could see the slight confusion in them.
It hurt, but you shrugged. “It’s not like we haven’t shared a bed before, Anders.”
Those memories seemed so long ago now, the two of you spending most nights together. You loved each other, deeply, and while that was still true, the air between you was different.
Anders hesitated. “Are...there two beds?”
“No,” You said, frowning slightly. “But again, it’s not like we have never shared a bed before, is it? Come on, let’s get some proper rest for once.”
Anders stood, turning away from you. “No. I can't do that, and if you were in my position, you'd do the same.”
You stared at him. “Anders, I am in your position.” When he continued to keep his back to you, you continued. “I might be mad at you Anders, or disappointed, or whatever the hell it is I’m feeling right now, but I still love you. Nothing, ever, is going to change that.”
His shoulders tensed, but he remained silent.
Sighing, you rubbed the back of your neck. “Look, it’s going to take me time to...get over what happened, but I will get over it. I was serious when I told you I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. No matter what happened. No matter the damned consequences of anything that happened in our lives. We’re apostates, Anders, I only ever expected you. I only ever wanted you.”
“I told you from the start though,” Anders said sadly. “That I would break your heart. That Justice and I-“
“Are basically one,” You said softly. “I accepted all of that, and you haven’t broken my heart. I’m still here and I have no intention of going anywhere but with you.”
The silence fell heavily, and you waited, waited for him to do...something.
You weren’t expecting a shake in his shoulders though, for a heart wrenching sob to leave him, and quicker than you were thinking, you went to him, pulling him into a tight hug.
“You did not have to bear all this alone,” You said, pressing soft kisses into his hair as he clung to you. “Just as you still do not. I know how hard this has all been, how hard it still is, but I want to be there for you through all of it.”
Anders just wept harder, and all you could do was hold him to you and give him time.
Eventually, the tears settled, and he was left drawing in shuddering breathes against you, each one breaking your heart for him just a little more.
“Come join me in bed,” You said eventually, when all he seemed to want to do was hold you. “We can get a proper night’s sleep for once, worry about everything tomorrow.”
He sniffed. “We’re not safe here Y/N.”
“We’re safe enough,” You assured him. “I can put a few things down to alert us if needed.”
Anders shuddered. “We’re not going to be safe anywhere again.”
You let out a slow, steadying breath, before bringing his gaze to your, wiping away the few silent tears that were falling, and smiling softly at him. “No, we’re not, but we use magic, my love, and that was never safe to begin with. We’ll find somewhere to shore up eventually, somewhere where it’s quiet, away from all this fighting, away from Circles and Templars and all those that want to force control upon those like us. For now though, we need to rest where we can, keep moving where we can, and stay together, always. Okay?”
He looked at you with such terrified, loving adoration, that it took you back for a moment, at least until he kissed you, hard. Every emotion he was feeling was poured into that kiss, and you soon returned it with equal reverence. You couldn’t remember the last time the two of you shared a kiss, but you don’t remember it feeling quite like this, like two souls reuniting after an eternity apart.
Eventually, he broke away, both of you breathing hard. “Sorry.”
“For what?” You asked, brushing your fingers through his hair. “I needed that.”
For the first time since before everything happened, a smile cracked at his lips. “So did I.”
You couldn’t help it, you chuckled lightly and kissed him again. “Shall we go to bed now, my love? No more arguing, at least not tonight.”
Anders nodded, and the two of you stripped down to your smallclothes, and climbed into bed. It wasn’t the best bed, but it was warm and comfortable, and you were you quick to tug Anders back into your arms, where he was safe and secure.
He let out a heavy sigh against you, nuzzling a little into your chest. “Thank you, my love. I truly do not deserve you.”
“It’s not a matter of deserving,” You yawned tiredly, letting your eyes drift shut. “I want to be here for you, that’s all that matters.”
Silence fell, and while you could tell he was thinking again, sleep took you quickly, and you only hoped that, for once, it might take him quickly too. If you were to survive this together, then you both needed rest, and a proper bed was the best place to do just that.
