This is very good, and a very plausible extension of canon into something slightly different to the usual extrapolations.

Thank you! I hope things didn't end up this way, because I think everyone ends up worse off for it, but I am so very glad it read plausibly :)

Oh, this was lovely. So believable and so painful, and all their voices were great. I loved Anders burning the arrows before they could hit him. Thanks so much for sharing!

Man. Stomp on my heart, why don't'cha.... ;)

It kind of stomped on my heart to write it, actually ;)

Have some heartwaffles. As compensation.

You know, I think -- yeah, DA2 is so full of so much wrath, and it's bloody (hah, no pun intended) depressing, but I still love what you did here. Like someone said above, it's plausible -- and it's always so frustrating that you can't SAY in the game I don't want to make Anders a martyr. So I really liked how you revealed that to Sebastian, his moment of realization.

As hurty and ouchy as it is, I still love it. :D

(No active DA icons just now, but this one seems... appropriate, given Fenris'.)

I didn't want to write a story simply rehashing the in-game wrath, but honestly... it's EVERYWHERE.

Thank you <3 I'm so glad you love it. Even if it is hurty and ouchy.

Oh sweet stars above.

This was excellent reading. It felt as vivid and heart breaking as the game.

Thank you so much. A comment as lovely as this one just makes my WHOLE DAY <3
