Carver stopped after disembarking, tilting his head back to look up at the imposing walls of the Gallows, made more imposing lit by the red glow still emanating from the rubble of the Chantry. Noticing, Garrett paused in his progress to look back at him, and catching the look on his face, cocked his head to one side curiously. “What?”
“Just remembering the first time we stepped off here,” Carver replied. “Who would’ve thought, all these years later, we’d be where we are? You, Champion, me, a Grey Warden. And now this…”
Garrett nodded, taking a moment to look over the edifice himself, but then beckoned with a hand. “Come on, we have some innocent mages to save.”
A wry smile twisted Carver’s mouth. “Shove your innocents.”
Garrett grinned and walked over to clap Carver on the shoulder. “It’s good to have you by my side again, brother.”
“Of course it is,” Carver teased.
Together, the brothers Hawke rushed through the gates to incite a rebellion.

I don't think I quite realized it until I saw the prompt (and, I admit, your response to it, I decided I wanted to do Carver to your Bethany :). Lothering was out, so this seemed the next best thing. :)
"Where did you get those?" Carver asked in wonder.
Isabela clutched the precious pieces of ripe fruit to her chest. "I packed them, of course." She glanced up, seeing the young pup lick his lips hungrily.
They'd been trapped below ground for days, living off of skins of wine and water, with dried meat and hard bread. The ceilings were vaulted, it wasn't that she felt claustrophobic, precisely, it was more that she missed the sun, the smell of plants, and the air coming off the sea.
She glanced across the fire to where Hawke and Varric slept, then back to the eager young man who knelt beside her bedroll, thinking of just the diversion to take her mind from their unpleasant surroundings.
A wicked grin split her face as she held some of the berries aloft. "If I should choose to share... what will you give me?"
