The Once and Maybe Queen by tambuli

Summary
It is 90 AC, and you are Aemma Arryn, fifth-born child of Rodrik Arryn, Lord of the Vale, and Princess Daella Targaryen. Your bloodlines are ancient, your nobility unquestionable.
You are also Ema Otherys from 822 AC, the daughter of a Braavosi man and a lady of some small Westerosi nobility.
Violence cuts Ema's life short, but over seven hundred years ago a connection tugs at Aemma—a connection that transcends time and space, that defies the dying of magic and the absence of gods. Ema's life has ended, but Aemma's is just beginning.
(This is the story-only version of my quest of the same name, posting on Spacebattles.)

Summary
The headline of the Exandrian Inquirer blazes at him: Trent Ikithon, head of research and development of a huge pharmaceutical agency, Trent Ikithon, formal and distinguished in his suit as he goes down the steps of the courthouse—Trent Ikithon, found not guilty on all counts of developing and supplying dangerous, untested “smart drugs” to young, hungry, brilliant interns—
“I am deeply relieved,” Ikithon is quoted, “that justice is served and the truth found out. My company is committed to producing ethical, effective medicines, not whatever travesty of science I have been accused of.”
A short little paragraph at the very end of the article, talking about how Soltryce Sciences was known for giving out internships to young, brilliant students and how many of these former interns were now quite high up in the scientific fields they were in.
Or: Trent Ikithon is declared not guilty. Caleb Widogast slash Bren Aldric Ermendrud (he is Bren, he is always Bren, Caleb is a life he has stolen) does not take it well.

A Collection of the Assorted Failures of the Dwarf, Varric Tethras regarding the Champion, M. Hawke by CompletelyOrdinaryCat

Summary
Dorian grasps his arm, sucking in desperate lungfuls of air, and while Varric’s relieved to know he’s okay, that means Hawke wasn’t behind him. She’s not here, not where he thought she was. And then the reality of what that might mean crashes into him, and he goes cold all over.
Just like Hawke, he thinks, and tries to stay calm, —
--
As Varric waits to see whether Hawke will exit the Fade, the only thing he can do is remember every time he failed to do right by her.Bookmarked by tambuli

Summary
There are plenty of things Varric and Hawke are good at: snide remarks, drinking the swill served at the Hanged Man, getting into trouble, nearly dying but still managing not to, witty one-liners…but sitting down and talking about their feelings? Eh, not so much. That goes double when the feelings in question are of a, uh, complicated nature. Or romantic. Or both. And Maker help them, but things have absolutely entered ‘both’ territory. Surely they’ll figure it out, right? Right. …right?
Hawke and Varric try to figure some stuff out.

Let's Have a Heart to Heart by Astria

Summary
'“It’s good that you care, Varric. You… have a huge heart. That’s not a weakness.”
“Sometimes I wonder.” He muses under his breath.
Hawke gives his hand a gentle squeeze. “It’s not. And for what it’s worth, I’m here for you. Always. I know it’s not the same, but-”
Suddenly, their hands shift, and Hawke finds that Varric is lacing his fingers through hers seamlessly. Caught off-guard, heat explodes in her cheeks and she blusters for the words she was going to say. She finds none.
His eyes are molten staring through hers when she meets his gaze. She can’t comprehend what they say.“You’re more than enough, Hawke. You always have been.”'
-------------------
Following their confrontation with Bartrand in act two, Hawke meets up with Varric for a little heart to heart.
Aka. what I imagine would have happened if Varric had been made a romanceable option in DA2. Enjoy the fluff.
