My apologies for not getting this story done on time for yesterday, it seemed to refuse to come together, and I found myself distracted by some other things, including some home renovation projects. Still, this is actually a tale I've been thinking about telling for a while now. As long-time watchers will know, <i>Dragon Age</i>&nbsp;is one of my favourite franchises of all time (<i>Inquisition</i>'s many issues excluded), and beyond my <i>Origins</i>&nbsp;novelization <i>The Grey Path</i>&nbsp;(which will be updated in early November, hint-hint), I've also dabbled a bit with some <i>DA2</i>&nbsp;stories as well. This prompt seemed like the perfect opportunity to shed some light on how my Hawke actually became a Reaver in the first place, and any opportunity to have more Merrill in my life is fine by me.<br /><br />Also, I have been thinking of doing some DiD-themed <i>Dragon Age</i> stuff in the future. Part of me thinks it'll end up appealing to no one; fans of <i>The Grey Path</i>&nbsp;won't be up for a kink-centric story, while those of you here for my bondage-themed tales might not be interested in the world of Thedas, so let me know if that's something you might like. Still, thank you all for your continued support! Hope you enjoy, and all the best!<br /><br />Another entry for <a target="_self" href="https://www.deviantart.com/kinktober-2022" ><img class="avatar group" width="100" height="50" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/k/i/kinktober-2022.png?4" alt=":iconkinktober-2022:" title="Kinktober-2022" /></a>
