POV: your intrusive thoughts won. (Sort of a sequel to this)
Bonus:
POV these are the last two grey warden and you need them to save your home.
"oh there's nothing we dashing, handsome, trained-for-exactly-this templars can do about all these demons. but there's nothing in the rules about NOT letting strangers walk in to the tower and start slaughtering people for us! surely the fantasy scooby gang who randomly showed up will succeed where we, a small anti-magic army, failed. no i don't see a problem with this why are you glaring at me? do you want me to bother helping you with darkspawn or not?"

Okay, I love Alistair. It happened to him the same thing that happened to Sera on my first run of DAI, I took her to In Hushed Whispers and in the beginning of it I was like "yay lemme take my friend with me to this main quest, it'll be a nice bonding moment" and by the end I was like "I would die for you. Look at me: I would die. And kill. For you. I promise I'll never put you through any of this again do you hear me? I'll give up my life and my soul and anything else if it means I can make you live another day and I'm so, so sorry I put you through this-"
That me with Alistair rn. You sweet puppy, I'll take care of you now, don't you worry and I'm so sorry I brought you along in this Circle thing, I should've listened when you were whining about not wanting to go there, oh my god 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I won't even talk about Sten rn. I just found out I definitely have a thing for the Qunari in every game bc when I reached his nightmare I was so pissed about the whole quest but in the moment I heard his pained voice I crumbled, seriously, I was about to start SOBBING 😭😭
I read six Halo novels last year!!!
I loved Greg Bear's Forerunner novels, they really made me fall in love with the Didact to my surprise (former Didact hater here). His romance with the Librarian was so bitter-sweet and heartbreaking. Ive got to get my hands on Epitaph this year, my heart is gonna hurt >_<
Broken Circle quickly become my comfort read, I think I reread it four or five times. The audiobook is also an absolute standout, narration is phenomenal. G'torik is my absolute king, and the adventures of the Ussans just make me want more stories about them! The shanshayum were also interesting for the first time ever. My eyes have always glazed over at their presence in the past but this was downright fascinating.
Legacy of Onyx is perhaps the biggest surprise. There were such intresting little family dramas going on amounst the Sangheili, and the concept of pacifist sanghelli was deeply fascinating. I'll admit I wasnt fond of the children or our main character at first, but gosh darn it Matt you made me really care about them. Also Sasha Hilot is officially the coolest Sangheili ive seen yet that ISNT a warrior.
I did give Fall of Reach another read again for that sweet sweet John angst. Love watching him suffer and be horribly traumatised, just running around like this is fine I have a good grade in being a child soldier :) which is both normal to want and possible to achieve :)
Update: I've since got my own copy of broken circle :3
