Dragon Age Head Canon Part 1
Okay but dragon age head canon spoilers after this!
So imagine if after the final battle with Corephyus you know Morrigan has to turn into a dragon and fight the wanna be archdemon right? Well what if you performed the dark ritual and Morrigan dies after the battle, so Kieran is left alone with zero idea whom his father might be so of course the Inquisitor has no way of contacting him. Lelianna insists, along with the insisting of the inquisitor themselves, they should raise Kieran until they find his father.
Imagine Dorian teaching Kieran all sorts of Tevinter phrases and pointing out everything wrong with Tevinter yet making a point to tell him how everything can be improved and just glowing with pride when Kieran successfully uses one of the phrases he taught him when speaking with a sister or Orlesian who are talking shit about Dorian.
Imagine Cullen teaching Kieran the proper way to hold a shield and playing chess with him and sometimes letting him win because its so damned adorable to see his eyes light up when he realizes his victory.
Dorian coming back to teach Kieran how to cheat at chess.
Cullen telling Kieran not to listen to Dorian because he never wins against him anyway.
Lelianna telling him stories of his mother and the Hero of Ferelden and Alistair and Sten and Shade and Wynne and Zevran and Ogrhen and Barkspawn. Imagine her singing to him when he wakes up crying because he misses his mother and “Why did she have to go I don’t understand?” Lelianna just tucks his head beneath her chin and holds him while singing the dawn will come or something because what can she say that will make up for him losing his mother?
Imagine Iron Bull introducing Kieran to the Chargers and even teaching him a few moves because hey he’s gonna grow up to be one helluva man someday. And then once he knows Kieran can properly handle himself taking him out with the rest of the Chargers for a small job gathering ram skins for the inquisition or something and holding Kieran on his shoulders.
Imagine Viviene chastising Iron Bull because Kieran is far too young to be doing things like this yet even if he is in good hands. And then she checks him over for injuries even though she doesn’t expect to find any.
