whenever hawke arrives at skyhold and learns that cassandra interrogated varric, i imagine their conversations going only like they would go with a cop and a lawyer.
cassandra says literally anything, and hawke leans to varric and goes, ”what did you tell her about X?” “i told you went into the Evil Cave and killed a bunch of folks there”, and then hawke would go “i went into the Evil Cave and killed a bunch of folks there,” without blinking, back to cassandra. every time she can hear the whole conversation. varric is just hawke's lawyer. they check their legend constantly. cassandra may ask what is in hawke's grocery list, and hawke would just instantly turn his gaze to varric. hawke literally won't agree to speak to any authority in skyhold without him.

[sticks leg out] may we see ur warden(s)/custom hawke(s)/inquisitor(s)
and if u feel like it how would any of them fare if dropped into Faerun (with or without Fenris/Zev)
Ohhh don't get me started!
Garrett Hawke, my beloved, although I hc him as elf-blooded. Ironic enough, in Thedas, "half-elf" or "half-blood" is used as an insult iirc, so imagine his expression to hear people use the term half-elf so casually in Faerûn. Just a little aside.
For him, he is your typical purple mage Hawke, so I'd definitely say he'd bring that type of energy to Faerûn, no matter what time in his life he's in. He'd be excited as fuck to be in a place where he can use his magic openly without worry, and he would take the adventure in stride, even while he's screaming on the inside. (Still, none of this is as bad as Kirkwall in his opinion. 😆) Somehow gets everyone to fall for him without even trying. Not his first merry band of bi/pan misfits that he's had to deal with.
Then, there is HIM.
Darrian Tabris. My Warden. My Warden-Inquisitor. Love of my life. My angry rebel. The Dark Wolf himself! I djdbdhsbdfkf 😍💖💞💖💞
Sorry, but he was a character I loved writing so much. Maybe I'll return to his story one day, but my energy has been more devoted to one shots and shorter works these days. It just suits my current habits and lifestyle better than going full multichap.
Darrian is a rogue/mage multiclass thanks to my setup on pc where I utilized the game's console commands and such. He's faced a lot of hardship in the Alienage and puts his people (elves and mages) first. He's also not above using less than savory means of achieving his goal (ex. the power of blood is a badass concept, coating his blades in his tainted blood to seriously fuck up his enemies, this is one of my favorites). He's also not above committing crime to get what he wants, but he grows into being a leader. In one AU I have, he even serves at Alistair's side as king (a poly relationship in this one). He also becomes Inquisitor and demolishes the status quo by encouraging rebellion where he can, so there's that too. 😂
So, with that in mind, how does he fare in Faerûn? Probably thinks it's too cushy compared to Thedas. His temper is his biggest flaw because he's so damn passionate that anything that angers him can set him off. Will be ready to fistfight any oppressive gods or former masters at the drop of a hat because he values freedom above all else. Could probably take Cazador out on his own ngl 💀
And of course Zevran was his romance (surprise, surprise). I don't think they'd necessarily act different around each other in Faerûn, but Zevran’s opinion would hold a lot of weight for him.
Also, semi-related, but I have so much art commissioned of these two. I didn't have my thoughts organized for this post at all so if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

OC Questionnaire 2
Tagged (again) by @spainkitty, thank you! Following with the Hawkes and my newly found Shepard (which got formed super quickly).
Part 1 here
Tagging: @dungeons-and-dragon-age @daggerbean @sapphireangelbunny @n7viper @pinayelf and YOU!
NAME: Raina Elizabeth Hawke
NICKNAME: Hawke. Trash Raccoon. Beanpole. Varric calls her Elizabeth when he's irritated with her. "Crazy Hawke" by Sera.
GENDER: Non-binary (goes with she/her no problem, but is extremely ill at ease if she has to present herself as overtly feminine. Won't wear skirts or grow her hair out anymore. Ok with makeup and -very occasionally- higher heels.)
STAR SIGN: Sagittarius
HEIGHT: 6'1" (187 cm)
ORIENTATION: Bisexual, Poly
NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Fereldan, baby.
FAVORITE FRUIT: Tomato (it's a fruit). Cherries and raspberries.

FAVORITE FLOWER: Sea daffodil
FAVORITE SCENT: Sea salt, freshly clean cotton, the smell of a stew on the fire. Won't wear perfume herself.
COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE: Tea. No sugar. The teabag/infuser is the last thing that leaves the cup.
AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: 3-9, either she sleeps very little, or she oversleeps.
DOGS OR CATS: Dogs.
DREAM TRIP: Wherever Merrill points her finger, she's not picky.
NUMBER OF BLANKETS: 1 heavy
RANDOM FACT: She was so pissed with Meredith for threatening her, that once the Knight-Commander called her to the Gallows, she showed up with a bag full of glittery yarn, poured the content on her desk, and started to knit. "I'm sorry, I am very behind with First Day gifts. It also helps me concentrate, so I will be extra focused on all the most important things you have to say. You want me concentrated, right Knight-Commander? :) ".
Cullen kept finding glitter around and on the damn desk and in the drawers until he left for Haven.
NAME: Garrett Tiberius Hawke
NICKNAME: Gee. Pumpkin by Varric (he calls Fenris "pumpkin", yes it brings some confusion). "Buff Hawke" by Sera.
GENDER: Male, won't be mad if you mispronoun him, who cares.
STAR SIGN: Gemini
HEIGHT: 6'3" (191 cm)
ORIENTATION: Bisexual
NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Fereldan country boy dreaming of a veggie garden.
FAVORITE FRUIT: Chestnuts
FAVORITE SEASON: Autumn
FAVORITE FLOWER: Yarrows
FAVORITE SCENT: Cinnamon, ginger. Pumpkin spices.
COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE: Hot chocolate.
AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: 8
DOGS OR CATS: DragonsDogs
DREAM TRIP: Antiva. Or the vineyards in Orlais to learn how to grow them.
NUMBER OF BLANKETS: 3
RANDOM FACT: After Corypheus will be defeated, he'll retire to the countryside with Fenris. Buy a farm with enough space for them to survive. He'll become extremely competitive in country fairs and competitions for the biggest pumpkin. So much so that demons will try to tempt him by offering him the biggest pumpkin ever.
Nothing will work, because he'll candidly answer that he can't understand what's the point if he doesn't grow him himself, maybe you should think about your life better mr Demon do you want to talk about it? *psychoanalizes the Demon enough to convince him to go in the fields and take some weeds away*
NAME: Maxine Shepard
NICKNAME: Max. She has Max on her documents, hates "Maxine" to guts, says it's a dog name.
GENDER: Genderfluid.
STAR SIGN: Aries
HEIGHT: 5'7" (175 cm)
ORIENTATION: Pan. Whatever, man.
NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Italian, with Moroccan descent. Her paternal grandpa was American.
FAVORITE FRUIT: Figs
FAVORITE SEASON: Summer
FAVORITE FLOWER: Oleander
FAVORITE SCENT: Sea-salt, sandalwood, amber, motor oil.
COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE: Fizzy drinks. Her grandparents, and the grandma she grew up with, were from Livorno, so spuma is her favourite
AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: 6/7
DOGS OR CATS: Space Hamster.
DREAM TRIP: Every time something gets wrong, she sighs and proposes to get back to Virmire with cocktails, or on Tuchanka.
NUMBER OF BLANKETS: 3
RANDOM FACT: When Anderson recruited her on Akuze, fearing he would have left her there because she was an engineer and he was looking for a soldier, she told him she had a driving license.
She had one.
For boats.
It results in her being neat in driving ships, both on water and in space, and totally, absolutely inept on land vehicles on wheels. In spite of that, she will refuse to let anyone else drive (save Garrus but on occasions), saying that "I have a degree in mechanical engineering, if I can repair it I can also drive it". (she really can't.)
