HA!

That's hilarious. I kind of love Loghain, and he would certainly have no love for Gaius. It's amazing how well you capture him even in something cracky like this.

I just wanted to see Gaius get what's coming, for once!

P.S. Loghain thinks he's such an unsung hero. Much of a chip on the shoulder, buddy? Even if it's deserved?

okay. sincei can't play this dragon age game, are there any novelisations of it? and if not, can i commission you or lostinaapapercup or anyoen else here to write the mfor me? thissoudns so intriguign it's almost made fora good readable series. wow.

Well, let's see. There are two official novels, but they're prequels to the game: The Stolen Throne and The Calling. Both were written by the lead writer for the game. I haven't read either of them, but there are recaps at both those links.

I would suggest (not self-pimping, I swear) that you read my DA fic at ineedmyfics called Falling Prey if you're interested, as it touches on several of the key events of the game in a somewhat rational order. lostinapapercup has a beautiful Dragon Age fic called I Await Your Favor and another called The Queen which should be read first.

I think i found the soundtrack somewhere. i'll first look at all these linsk though. adn i will properly read yoru fic now too. i read the one fro mashavah and then accidentally threw yorus out :P. it was mostly because of those two and then your drabble that I thought 'wow, that soudns good'.

So say you!

Thanks! It was pretty random, but I couldn't resist.

P.S. Barbara is that you? If so, we have met.

Oh god. This is hilarious. The mental image of Loghain kicking Baltar's ass is just perfect.

And I love the juxtaposition with the Alistair facepalm icon.

And when, in Andraste's name, would I not kick that miserable wretch's arse?

(That's Loghain's way of saying thank you.)
