As The Crow Flies

Summary:

The Warden Commander has been inducted into a symbol of heroism and bravery. They saved Ferelden, and perhaps even all of Thedas, through the strength of their own will and perseverance. They are not invincible, however. Occasionally, after a dozen bloody days of battling darkspawn, after grueling hours toiling over the wartable, the Commander needs a break. During times like these, the Hero of Ferelden is known to slip a stack of tightly-bound letters from their pack, reading them until they regain the motivation to return to their duties.

These letters are rumored to be from a mysterious Antivan lover, who misses his Warden very much.

Chapter 1: A Letter From Zevran

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Greetings from Antiva!

I would prefer to be where you are, my sweet. Antiva is so dull without you to brighten it. Even with the Crows trying to hunt me down, this place lacks the excitement of being at your side. Ah, well. I expect the Guildmaster will agree to meet me soon. Or maybe I should kill him. What do you think?

I hear the darkspawn have still not gone away? They are like houseguests who overstay their welcome, no? I am saddened you have to deal with such business without me. I must deal with the Crows, but when I return to you, not even sharp razors will be able to separate us!

Until then, you remain in my dreams. Especially the naughty ones.

Yours always,

Z .

Notes:

Delivered one week before the Warden's arrival at Vigil's Keep.
 
This is a collection of letters I think Zevran would have wrote during the time he and the Warden were apart.
Spoilers for Awakening. Really, this is just some fun practice for writing from Zev's point of view.

To start off, this first chapter is the codex 'A Letter From Zevran' that you recieve in-game, and from there on, it's purely fan-written.
