Awwww, this is so cute. I love how patient Teagan is with her.

And the whole sub plot about writing an Antivan murder mystery (or something similar?). How hilarious. (I also find it rather funny that Anora loves trashy novels. It seems...appropriate, really.)

[serindrana]

He's very good to her, it's true.

And I think deciding that Anora read Antivan murder mysteries was one of the best moments in writing the early bits of this fic. :D I mean, the woman needs to unwind! And what better way than with books of intrigue and too-much-sex?

I'm sure that everyone needs a good Antivan murder mystery. ;) And reading what amounts to trash fiction was very popular among various types of nobility, so it works. (Although novels themselves are a fairly recent innovation in the west, strangely enough.)

If you have not seen the comic yet where Aimo has Anora merrily reading trash romances, you may have to check it out. It's highly amusing. ;)

(I think there's reference in the games to novels, or at least adventure serials - so we'll assume in Thedas it makes some amount of sense. :) )

Haha, I haven't seen that yet!
