This...I love this!
And because you asked...My disclaimer being that I write a LOT of Morrigan centric stuff, so I probably have my own view of what she should be, that isn't exactly canon.
It didn't at all bother me that you set them up OOC, because for me, at least, their attraction isn't at all out of character. It's a playground mentality of pigtail pulling and name calling, as they try to hide behind what they are so as not to face what they want. It is wrong for a Templar to befriend an apostate, sayeth the Chantry. It is wrong to acquire the weakness of an emotional attachment, sayeth Flemeth.
The only thing that stuck me was Morrigan's dictation. (Again, this may be just me...) I can't see her using contractions. Her speech is too proper and complete, except for the 't bits. (Speaking of, I liked that you didn't manufacture excuses to throw that in, but used it naturally.) But the rest was so spot on Morrigan that it didn't bother me enough to notice past the 2nd posting...
Hope this was the kind of feedback you had in mind?

It was indeed, Thanks :D. I like you.
I thought if one of them was going to have more proper language it was going to be Morrigan more so than Alistair. Once or twice i made a point of having Alistair say things a little more incorrectly than i'd expect Morrigan to.
Yeah i agree that i think there is an attraction there, but I think many people would classify it as OOC seeing as they don't have sex in the game. Or at least, you don't know about it if they do. It's the starcrossed lovers thing ala Romeo & Juliet, although with magic.
