Huge thanks to the amazing @schattengerissen for the tag! Reading yours was amazing and really gave me a glimpse into your OTP (which is super cute btw)!
Since my Heroes of Thedas Series involves all three main characters since their stories are intertwined, I’ll do both my OTPs for the series! ^^ Here we go!
For Ana Cousland & Alistair Theirin
**This is based off Fated since the events from Foregone makes things very confusing with the time-jump.
1. How did they first meet?
Ana: We first met at shortly after I arrived at Ostagar. I was being harassed by these two men, who we later found out were only pretending to be Grey Wardens. The leader of the two was propositioning me to spend the night in his tent with him.
Alistair: I didn’t hear what they were saying but it was pretty clear that she was uncomfortable. I simply came up to them to try and diffuse the situation.
Ana: *Smiling* He ran them off and then I thanked him which made him blush. It was adorable.
2. What did they think of each other at first?
Ana: My first impression of him was that he was very sweet, caring and quite good-looking.
Alistair: *blushing*. My first impression that she was very beautiful. It was quite nerve-wracking speaking to her. She was so strong-willed and confident. I was very intimidated.
Ana: *giggling* I was not very confident at that moment. I looked terrible! I was completely disheveled and disgusting. As somebody who takes pride in their appearance, I was embarrassed that he saw me that way.
3. Were they immediately interested / attracted, or did that come later?
Ana: I was immediately attracted to him but had little interest in pursuing anything. I was actually involved with somebody else at the time; My former personal guard, Ser Rodrick Gilmore. Also, he basically called me an idiot during our first conversation.
Alistair: *grimacing* It was not intentional! I told you I was very nervous and intimidated to talk to you. I say stupid things when I get nervous!
Ana: *chuckles* Aside from that, were you immediately interested /attracted to me?
Alistair: Of course I was! You were a beautiful and intelligent woman. I was completely under your spell from the get-go.
Ana: *chuckles* Until you called me an idiot.
Alistair: No, I always found you attractive. Once I accidently called you an idiot, you hated me and - while I love you now - you became very spoiled and my interest was gone.
Basically, they were immediately attracted to each other physically but the actual interest in one another took some time.
For Lena Trevelyan & Nathan Hawke
** From Forgotten
1. How did they first meet?
Lena: We met when I snuck out of Skyhold to go hunting. I noticed somebody was following me so I ducked into a small alcove, grabbed him and pulled him inside and pressed a dagger to his throat, demanding why he was following me.
Nate: *Chuckles* That’s almost exactly what had happened only missing a few minor details. For one, while I had heard for months about the Inquisitor, our initial meeting was unintentional and we had no idea who either of us were.
Lena: True. From the stories I had heard about the infamous Champion of Kirkwall, I was expecting somebody older and more grizzly looking like Blackwall.
Nate: *Smirking * Varric is a storyteller and may have embellished my description a little bit. His description of Lena didn’t do her justice.
Lena: I imagine it involved me constantly being bundled in furs and leather since I am from a warmer climate and Ferleden is freezing.
Nate: More like he refused to go into detail whenever I asked so I was stuck with “an athletically built woman with olive complexion and brown hair in a single braid.” It was quite a generic description coming from Varric of all people.
Anyways, to come back to the story of how we met, I was waiting for Varric to set up a meeting between Lena and I and lived in a cabin hidden in a valley close to Skyhold. Being a wanted man by many, I couldn’t risk showing my face until it was necessary. As I awaited for word from Varric, I noticed somebody going past my cabin a few times and returning with fairly large game. One day I decided to follow them to see where they were hunting and that’s how we met.
2. What did they think of each other at first?
Nate: Initially I was wondering where she was from since she had a tan in the middle of a Ferelden winter. As she had her dagger pressed up against my throat, I was surprised how attractive she was.
Lena: Considering that I was worried that he was sent to spy on and/or kill me, my initial impression of his was not a good one. *laughs* He was definitely quite the charmer and still is.
3. Were they immediately interested / attracted, or did that come later?
Nate: There was definitely an immediate attraction, at least on my part,
Lena: Oh, I know. When I pushed you up against the wall to question you, I felt that interest on my leg. *laughs*
Nate: What can I say? *smirks* It was basically foreplay for our eventual relationship.
Lena: *chuckles* It really was. As for me, it was the same. I was very interested and attracted to Nate immediately. I couldn’t do anything about it at the time since I was seeing my military commander but there was definitely something between us from the beginning.
I tag (no pressure): @mediaeval-thotte, @enchantment1385, @ladyinquisidork, and @ladycremecaramel. :)
At least we’re still here; Still fighting.” She offers him a smile. “Thank you again for all your help. After Ostagar, hospitality isn’t exactly common, especially for supposed traitors. You truly are a rarity.”
He nods. “It’s no trouble. I’m always happy to help you.”
As he says this, Ana bites her lip. “I know….” Averting her gaze, she feels her heart begin to race as she thinks of how to word what she wants to ask next. “I...I have a favor to ask of you.”
His eyes watch her, trying to gauge her emotions. “If it is in my power to give, it’s yours.”
Taking a deep breath, she turns her gaze to meet his. “I want to make love to me, Nate.
