 I am writing a thing. It is pretentious. It will most likely be short. But I am writing.

I find the Fenris/Danarius LESS fucked up than a lot of it because that, at least, is like -- it's understandably OMG EVIL MAN.

okay, maybe I'm just hoping. I've never read any of it. there are only two -- three if you count War Mage, which I stopped reading before it was finished -- Seheron/Tevinter set stories that I enjoyed. one is "Head of the Household", with a confused Hawke finding Fenris. it has some disturbing power dynamics, but despite that I really kind of enjoy it? the other is loquaciouspark's "Spire".

what really bothers me is all the Fenris/Anders disturbing. because nothing tops weird and uncomfortably taking advantage, than a mage-hating elf being topped violently by a creepy fucking mage.

Huh. I am always curious to see what people do with Seheron/Tevinter. Maybe I will check those out.

I can never tell which I find more disturbing, the Fenris/Anders or the Merrill/Anders. Like, they're both horribly abusive in different ways? And yet they just keep getting shipped and written about and aughhhh

loquaciousspark (which I am spelling wrong, but like, if you filter the Fenris/Hawke stories to "completed" and by "word count", Spire is like, the fifth or sixth) writes the best DA stories ever. like ever. she was the one that wrote the 1890s vampire AU that is the BEST THING EVER.

and I'mna go with Fenris/Anders, because I cannot picture that one without someone being forced in some way. at least anders/merrill, I can see them liking each other. kind of. at some point in their lives.

of course, I have a strange and deep love for the concept of Bethany/Fenris, so.
