TMI Tuesday! Is there anything that could drive Fael and Dorian apart? An issue they fundamentally disagreed on, or an event that could estrange them from one another? Sorry for the angsty ask, but I know you're a glutton for angst. ;)
why are you like this, Galen, w h y
But honestly? Not much that I can think of? Early in their relationship maybe, if Fael would have been more ruthless in his leadership (keeping Erasthenes tranquil, killing Celene, etc; all things he very well considered doing but ultimately did not) Dorian could have ended up keeping his distance more and more. They have problems in their journey together, there are moments, after Trespasser, in which the emotional distance could have been too much. But they’re both adults willing to solve problems together, and anything that might be an obstacle they’d work to overcome.
Cheating would be something that’d break them apart but that’s… not something I see any of them doing. Fael wouldn’t even think of it, and honestly I refuse to think about Dorian cheating on Fael while in Tevinter (or with Bull like I’ve seen in some fanfictions… why….).(I honestly just hate the cheating partner trope. I get that in real life it happens, but let me just have my cheating free fantasies, yes?)
