Chapter 2. The Healer | nikatyler | Ellipsus Ellipsus makes it easy for anyone to write together.

#nikawrites #branfic

Happy #DAFanFriday! I'm sharing chapter 2 with you today. Branwyn visits the sewers and Anders says the line.

"You mean, let's put drunk irresponsible Fern to rest so the mighty Inquisitor who's not even real can rise and shine tomorrow morning. Sure. That would be for the best, in the grand scheme of things. That's all I ever do anymore, don't I? Make sure the grand scheme of things doesn't fall apart. Fern be damned. Fern doesn't matter. Just the Inquisitor."

Chapter 4! In which Inquisitor Lavellan has a breakdown and Cullen is being very nice about it.

A Dragon Age 2 screenshot of the Hawke family + Aveline arriving in Kirkwall on a ship.

At twenty four years, Branwyn Hawke was no stranger to fleeing homes when the need arose, but fleeing on a ship sailing over the sea was new to her. And as she found out quickly, she hated the sea much more than running, and just a little less than hiding from templars eager to drag her into the nearest Circle.

If you prefer to read on ao3 (as I assume majority of you do), first part of #branfic (not the official title, there is no title yet and I fear it will remain branfic) is on there now!

Chapter 1. At Desperation's End | nikatyler | Ellipsus Ellipsus makes it easy for anyone to write together.

*taps mic* okay, is this thing on?

I finally have enough courage to share the first chapter. If you like Branwyn, aka the OC I bring up at any opportunity, here you go, enjoy.

Fern and Cullen in DAI.

"So what do you think we should do, Dorian?" "Talk about it, of course." "How?" "Much like how you're talking to me now." "Wow. More helpful advice has never been spoken," Fern muttered. "It doesn't matter, anyway. He didn't come, and I can hardly confess my feelings over the war table. And he would never…it's not going to happen. Forget it."

*gasp* we did it chat I posted again :O In this short chapter, come join Fern in Herald's Rest.

She chuckled. "You look like you've just seen a ghost." Branwyn. It couldn't be. It couldn't be, but it was, it was. Under the crushing weight of surprise, shock, relief, joy and fear and more relief, Anders dropped to his knees, his staff ringing on the ice surface she had created. Time stopped when their eyes met.

#DAFanFriday because people encouraged me to start an ao3 account so I did *leaves this here and runs*

She watched Anders step away from the tub, drying his hands with the fabric of his shirt. "It's…a lot to take in right now," she admitted quietly as he walked over to her and put his arms around her. "After all this time, to be back with you…I'm dreading it will dissolve right in front of my eyes and I'll find I'm still trapped in the Fade and that I have never left. I'm not sure if I could survive it happening again. I'm so tired." "This is real, I promise." His touch was wonderfully warm, and Branwyn's eyes watered. "That's what it said, too."

Part two of my silly little sad but perhaps hopeful (okay I'm downplaying it again) writing! Sure enough, Branwyn #Hawke made it back alive. But that doesn't mean it's about to get easy.

Yet, though it pained him to see her like this, she was the most beautiful sight to behold. Branwyn crumbled next to him, shaking and sobbing as if the world itself had been lifted from her shoulders, and then he was just holding her, holding her, holding her. There and then, he shut down the gloom coming from the dark corner of his soul. Even on a regular day, Branwyn had that effect on him, somehow. But this was no regular day, and that made it all the more powerful. She was alive and here in his arms. That put him at peace and kept his demons — literal and metaphorical — too stunned to act out.

#nikawrites I'm hoping to share the second half of this tomorrow, so here's a reminder I finally got over myself and posted a little fic thingy last week!
