Disclaimer: I am currently playing Dragon Age 2 with Strife as my Hawke. And because Chris Hawke sounds better than Strife Hawke, this fic will refer to him as Chris or Hawke. But it is Strife.

1. Leliana
The little redhead sister in the refugee camp was pretty, her hair short, elegant, always a smile in her face.
Bethany loved her stories.
Carver often fell asleep.
As for Chris, he just liked to listen to her voice.
"And what does the eldest Hawke thinks?"
He glanced up and grinned.
"Kiss and tell, Sister Leliana."
Bethany gasped and glared at her brother, while Carver's head fell off from his desk, and he looked around, confused.
Leliana just chuckled, and kissed his cheek.
2. Bethany
After their mother stood up, he couldn't stop himself and knelt down next to her as well.
He knew he had no time to do that, but he reached forward, and wiped the blood off from the corner of her mouth.
Leaned forward, planting a gentle kiss to her forehead.
"Make dad smile a lot, sis."
And then they had to leave.
He didn't look back to the broken body of his sister.
Didn't dare to.
3. Aveline
"City Guard, eh? Fits you, big girl."
Aveline frowned.
"You could come too, Hawke. It would keep you in line,and you canfight."
He snorted, and leaned back, putting his boots up to Gamlen's table.
"Sure. I'm an apostate, and working for a smuggler. I'd be a perfect guard. Take Carver."
"First of all, one of those things fits him too. Second of all, he'd be even worse in the law enforcement than you would be."
Hawke pushed himself to his feet, walked over, and kissed Aveline's cheek, causing her to frown.
"Don't worry that much, my friend. You'll take the city guard one person at the time. And then you can wag your finger at me for being a bad boy."
4. Sebastian
Working to Athenril was tiring, so nights at the Hanged Man was kind of a must. Also, to look out for Carver, and drag him home without waking up Mother, when he drinks too much.
That night there's a new face there, blue eyes, looking around, after a pretty elven girl, who doesn't even look at him.
Chris does, and then the boy looks at him too.
And then he just taps Carver's shoulder. "Fingers crossed, lil' bro. But if I'm lucky, then you will have to go home alone."
Carver follows his line of sight, and groans, but Chris doesn't pay attention to him anymore. Just stands up, and walks there to the blue eyed boy.
It doesn't take long for the boy's back to hit a room's door at the back of the Hanged Man, hands trying to find the handle and they basically crash inside the room.
It wasn't until the next day when a captain found Sebastian there, that he found out who he is.
The captain was obviously embarrassed, Sebastian annoyed, and Chris was wondering what was really behind the story of the prince.
5. Jethann
"I have coin, and I have time - why not?"
Boy, the people in The Blooming Rose sure knew what was their job.
(Jethann wasn't the last. He visited there more than once later on.)
6. Carver
His mind kept flashing back to Bethany, while he dragged Carver through the Deep Roads.
He will not leave another sibling behind for the Darkspawn.
Maker, he should have listened to Mother...
Before Stroud took over, he gently kissed Carver's forehead, which made him frown, and Chris grinned, but his eyes were full of worry.
"It's okay lil' bro. Be mad at me. And stay alive so you could kick my ass for this later.."
7. Fenris
Fenris glowed.
Sure the time he slammed Chris to the wall, he got a small heart attack, but during the night, that one night, he really learnt to appreciate the little glows. Blue light illuminating the bed a little, Fenris' eyes seemed like glowing too as they kissed, as they held each other through the night.
8. Sebastian
Okay, so, Chris immediately recognized Sebastian when he saw him in front of the Chantry, and when he helped him kill the mercenaries.
But it took three years for them to talk again, and that time, Sebastian did shuffle from one feet to another, nervously.
"Last time we talked, it did not occur to me, that we did... meet previously."
Hawke just laughed.
"You could certainly call it that."
Sebastian totally blushed, and Chris just took his hand, kissing it.
"Worry not, my friend. You took a vow, so we shall have our memories, am I right?"
The archer certainly looked relieved at that.
9. Isabela
Isabela's skin was much more rough than it looked, and her touch was hard, and almost painful, but in just the good way, and when she saw that he liked it, she laughed and leaned down and bit on his skin.
He was full of bite marks, and claw marks, and bruises, but so, so worth it.
10. Varric
"Blasted thing." Varric muttered, running his hand through his unbound hair. "That blasted idol. Do you wish we had never found it, Hawke?"
Chris sighed, knocking with his fingers on the table.
"Well. Being locked in certainly wasn't fun. But Bartrand would have locked us in either way somewhere so we wouldn't go yapping about where the thaig is."
Varric groaned, downing his pint.
"Damn it, Hawke. You are right."
He smiled a little, leaning over the table, kissing Varric's forehead.
"Of course I am. About time you get used to it, Varric."
11. Merrill
Honestly, he didn't expect Merrill to be this much into biting and drawing blood. (....okay, could have expected it.)
When she flipped him around sat on him, and laughed, there was much more power in her small hands and fragile built than what he had expected.
And she laughed, and her laugh was enough to fill the bedroom, before leaning down and kissing him again.
12. Anders
That first kiss was raw, and hungry and needy, and Hawke actually forgot he had to breathe until they broke apart.
He had been kissed... a lot, in a lot of places, but rarely in a way that made him lose his breath, that made his heart beat out of rythm, that made him want to lounge back, and kiss him back with the same raw, hungry passion, and he could barely hold himself back.
Thankfully, he didn't have to hold himself back for long, only until that night.
13. Leandra
It was the weirdest feeling in the world.
Looking at the face of his mother, and holding a hand that was not hers.
He leaned forward, kissing her eyes one last time,
When he stood up, with her in his arms, he didn't dare to look back at his companions.
14. Anders
That night, Anders just held him in his arms, hands soothing his hair, gently kissing his face.
"Good thing you got off your boots yourself. They are a nightmare to take off, let me tell you."
Anders smiled, and kissed his face again, and pretended that he didn't notice that Chris' face was wet from the tears.
15. Isabela
"I need that book. That book can save my life."
Her pleading huge eyes, and shit, Chris knew this was the wrong decision.
It would crash and burn at them. The Arishok totally knew Isabela was the culprit, and if Hawke gives the book to her...
He stepped forward, kissing her cheek.
"The book is yours."
He couldn't sign her death sentence, and he won't.
16. Anders
"So. Champion of Kirkwall."
He stood there, staring wide-eyed at the other mage, who stood by his doorframe.
"Maker, don't call me that."
"But that's who you are now. Better get used to it. Someone like you shouldn't stay with a known apostate as myself, you know, so if you... want to rethink your offer for me to move in, I..."
He couldn't finish it, because Hawke lounged forward, pressing their lips together, and hissed his next words by Anders' lips.
"Don't you fucking dare leave me."
Anders put his arms around his waist.
"I never could do it, my love. For better or worse."
17. Fenris
Danarius was dead, and Fenris was looking into the fireplace, before looking up at Hawke.
"Truth to be told... sometimes I regret leaving you."
Chris smiled sadly, leaning forward, kissing his cheek.
"I know what you mean, Fenris."
The elf sighed, and looked up to the ceiling.
"If that mage breaks your heart, I'll break his. Literally."
18. Anders
"I need you to trust me. Please. What I'll do is gonna help to give freedom for mages. That's all I can say. Please, love."
Oh, that awful sense of foreboding again.
"This wasn't about separating you and Justice, was it?"
Anders hung his head a little, and it was basically an admission either way, and Chris sighed, took his hands, and kissed him gently.
"I'll help. Of course I'll help. I just wish you'd trust me enough to tell me."
Anders looked like a kicked kitten at that, but didn't say anything else.
19. Merrill
They were sitting on the floor of Merrill's house, and Chris was holding her hands. She had tears in her eyes, and she never looked so fragile before.
"I know it's important, Merrill." Chris' voice was gentle. "And yes, the Keeper should have trusted you enough to tell you. But she was right about this one thing. That demon might be gone, but that mirror is trouble. Maybe you can use the parts to study your culture more. You can't help the Dalish if you are dead."
Merrill looked up, and suddenly her face was stone cold, and didn't seem fragile anymore. Just stood up, grabbed a stone that somehow found its way to her home, and threw it at the mirror, shattering it.
She was crying, when Chris kissed the top of her head, holding her in his arms, and they stood there, without a word.
20. Anders
There was fire, and screams, and sweat and dirt, and lots of running until it felt like their muscles were on fire too. And tears, and swearing, and Sebastian left, but Carver came back, and it all felt like some sort of a twisted exchange of sort.
They were in the Gallows, and there was some kind of desperation on Anders' face, when he walked up to him.
"After this... I..."
Chris just took his hand.
"We will have to run, Anders. You know it."
He opened his mouth to answer, and Chris made him shut up with a kiss.
"Don't even."
"But..."
"I'm going with you."
"Bu..."
"Anders?"
"....yes?"
"Shut up."
twiceblessedhalliwell replied to your post:You know, I actually find it...
female wyatt XD
Omg, that's so true D: And they're both hybrids too (even though Wyatt was actually born like that) Asdgakjsgdaghfjk. You know Grams's reaction to Wyatt being a boy was actually how I pictured Damon to react when he first discovered Eva XD Like he would take a look at her and just automatically think "what the hell went wrong?" XD
twiceblessedhalliwell is one of the sweetest people ever. To top it off she is an outstanding writer, and pretty much my favourite person ever to see on my dash. I'm so honoured that I even get to speak to them, and i just want everyone to shower them with love and hugs.
What if a future whitelighter doesn't die? What if they fulfill their destiny but death doesn't come to take them? In most cases, the selfish Elders select a few people with great destinies but a near death, we've seen so far young people with no more than 40 years being whitelighters and future whitelighters, we saw a woman in her early twenties at the end of the series just to become a whitelighter to heal Paige, we saw the teacher who was killed by Leo's past friends and she was no older than 40 and in the first two future whitelighter cases (Maggie and when Piper found out about LEo) were no older than 25,
What if the spell Prue casted on Maggie, for instance, makes her be so lucky she doesn't get to die? She helps people, she does it, but she becomes old and then dies.
We've seen how the Elders are, in most cases, old people. However, we also saw Leo's hair whitening as he was becoming one, so it might not have to be related to the age they died at.
Theory in coming: (Or headcanon) if a potential Whitelighter does good and continues doing good, they start developing powers, basic whitelighter powers, such as a healing, sensing, low empathic abilities,... but if they die, and they're turn into full whitelighters (being made of light orbs whose life is reduced to a basic concept) they go back to look as they did when they were supposed to die according to the Elders.
I am actually so excited to be back I can't stand it but I am also super tired and exhausted bc serious lack of sleep in the last couple days ~
I'm gonna make starters and stuff for people tomorrow bc UGH I HAVE MISSED THIS AND YOU GUYS AND I SEE NEW PEOPLE WHO I AM SEVERELY EXCITED ABOUT INTERACTING WITH OKAY YES !!!
What if Melinda or the Twins met Matthew van Lewen? 4 years older (or more) but who cares XD Maybe even the interaction with the ghost gives him powers later, makes a late witch out of him xD
