In line with my love of the idea of an alternate route for Carver being a hard-boiled Noir detective - I couldn't not do some imagery from the OG Noir Film, Double Indemnity.

(Of course, I imagine this is probably a bit more light-hearted of a meet up for them. Less "I'm here to blackmail you", more Merrill having a gas and wanting to join in on being "all mysterious" when lending a hand with a case or a stake-out.)

This emotional ride will pull at your heartstrings and make you believe in love. It brings two of our favorite DA2 characters into the time of the Inquisition and asks the question, how far would you go for someone you love, even if you aren't sure they love you back? Go check it out and leave some comments telling them how amazing they did!

The weeks passed away quickly; and the period of Merrill’s much-anticipated travels arrived. The night before, Merrill had been so excited she thought she would not sleep; and on the morning itself she flitted about so happily and exuberantly, that Keeper Marethari could not temper her high spirits if she tried. Merrill believed that even Tamlen and Mahariel were not as happy as she was, even though they themselves were clearly excited and cheerful that morning, given they were setting off in pursuit of novelty and amusement with her.Β 

Tamlen himself was in such good humour that he even agreed to accompany Merrill and Mahariel in calling on the Hawke sisters before they went – although he insisted that their visit was as brief as possible, for he wanted to cross the Waking Sea and reach Ferelden well before nightfall – and this they did, although Miss Bethany was out again with her mother, and they found Miss Hawke all alone and writing a letter. Β 

β€˜Bethany will be so disappointed to have missed you,’ Miss Hawke told them, as she folded up her letter to seal it, β€˜but I am thankful you decided to take leave of us before you depart for the countryside. And it is an honour, Mr Sabrae,’ she continued politely to Tamlen, β€˜that you decided to accompany your wife and cousin. I bid you all safe travels and adieu, and look forward to hearing all about them when you eventually return to Kirkwall.’ 

β€˜I will miss you!’ Merrill cried as she hugged her friend, taking Miss Hawke so much by surprise that the latter dropped the folded letter she had been holding. β€˜Oh! I am so sorry, Miss Hawke – let me get that for you—’ and here Merrill bent down to pick up the parchment that had floated to the floor; Miss Hawke had bent down for it too; but, in her nervousness at having done something wrong again, Merrill was quicker.Β 

As she picked up the sheet of paper, which was full with Miss Hawke’s handwriting, Merrill caught sight of the words:Β Β 

I will submit to any thing you may command meβ€”but cease to respect, to love and adore you, I never can or will.Β
