(Twin Fic AU featuring Curtis and Abigael Hawke, set in-between act 2 and act 3)
The day Curtis appears on is an ordinary one, well as ordinary as any day can be when the brother who died on the escape from Ostagar turns out not to have died on the escape from Ostagar and has instead tracked you down after believing that you were dead for the last 7 years.
It’s Varric that meets him first, intercepting him at the bar as he asks Corff where he can find Hawke, the Champion of Kirkwall.
It takes a moment to figure out where she knows that voice from, as he’s telling Varric he’s known her from childhood (Not a lie, but just like him, never the whole truth, not in unknown territory).
“She’s a busy woman, friend, you can’t just-” She’s pushing Varric out the way then, interrupting him as her feet move without concious thought. Varric always vets strangers, keeping her safe, but he doesn’t know. Doesn’t know that if theres one person she will never need protection from it’s the man she shared a womb with, the other half of her self.
“Curt? I- How… Curtis?” Her voices cracks and fades, theres so much to say, to ask, but it can’t come out, not now, not yet.
His face lights up in a way that mends one of the many rips in her heart, “Abi! It is you!” and then she’s in his arms and it’s everything and perfect and she can’t breath for the sobs bursting out of her throat. She vaguely registers that Varric is speaking, most likely to Isabela and Merrill, back at her table, confused at this reaction, but how can she care?
There are tears on her face and tears in her hair and for just a moment, nothing matters, he’s alive and he’s here and she’s complete again.
Reunited (He’s Alive!)

where is my rom com au with strict and sad teacher!Anders and students Carver and Bethany trying to fix him up with their big brother Hawke to get them both to be happy
or even better, Carver and Bethany trying to fix Anders up with someone else but Hawke is always there for some reason (too look after his siblings okay and he has the car and they need a ride) and Anders and Hawke ends up together much to the twin’s chagrin
Their first candidate for this was obviously Mr. Fenris, the phys-ed teacher at their school and that ended horribly, who knew Mr. Fenris was so opinionated against magic, on hind sight it probably wasn’t the best idea to try to fix someone like that with someone who teaches Magical Theory 101, and it definitely wasn’t a good idea to get them locked in the gymnasium together, and maybe this is a lesson for another day, write that down, Bethany
[Mr. Anders can blow doors up with his hands]
The next candidate is Isabela, Garrett’s always single friend who has also baby sat the twins before when they were younger, and you know what it turns out she is also Anders’ ex? The world we live in is so small and Garrett and Isabela and Anders just ended up going bar crawling, Anders coming into Monday class hungover and even crankier than before, this has backfired spectacularly
[Can’t he just use healing on himself? Apparently it doesn’t work on hangovers]
The third candidate is Alistair, the guy who cleans their pool and Carver really isn’t sure about him but trust me Carver, he has abs, and Carver is like well alright so they call him to Anders’ house and it turns out Mr. Anders doesn’t even have a pool in his house, AListair is just like well I get a lot of prank calls and Anders is so sorry, I don’t understand who would do this
cut to the twin who are hanging out in Garret’s car with binoculars, this is not going well, and Garret is so disappointed that it’s not going well, is this what you guys been doing with your time?? HEY I HAVE ABS
The fourth date is with Cullen, their mother’s part time personal trainer and also a cop, the date is actually going really well, Garret, why are you here (well you guys needed a ride to this fancy restaurant they’re having a date in and I’m also getting kinda invested in this scheme), until Anders brings up the fact that he used to get into all kinds of trouble as a teenager esp given that he’s a mage
and Cullen is like shoving breadsticks into his purse like well thank you, but I gotta get out my dog has an emergency right now, and Anders is just really dejected, outside the restaurant WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME AM I SO UNLOVABLE
(it starts raining on cue and he doesn’t even have an umbrella)
and Garret just gets out of the car like OH HEY ANDERS, I TOTALLY DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE HERE, what’s up do you want this donut that I most deinfitely just did not run across the street to buy, also my car is here, also my siblings who are also your students, there is nothing strange going on, if you want a ride i can totally do that for you
And Anders looks at him like Garret is the sweetest person ever
