A/n: And here we are! The first half of the my newest fanfiction story! :D I'm a little nervous because I haven't actually played Dragon Age before, and I'm writing this from a outsider's point of view instead of someone who knows much about the game and stuff like that. But, I'm also excited because I've seen a playthrough of the game and I just couldn't wait to write about it! Actually, this is what I wanted to tell you guys...

This story is based off a playthrough of a Let's Player I'm currently following. All the actions and consequences are based on the Let's Player, with a little bit more detail added on my own on certain scenes. Every quote I write for certain characters are based on what the Let's Player says to them, and every action of the main character is based on the Let's Player reaction to what the characters say or do. Having said that, here are some things you must know.

1. The player is a gay Let's Player. If you choose to look him up because you're interested on meeting the person who made me feel like I should do this, his channel's name is Angelarts (in my mind, I call him AngelHearts xD He's adorable). He occasionally does gay Let's Plays and you'll often know because of the title. He will also warn you of this and if this isn't something you like, please don't go harassing him. He's too kind for that.

2. The player's character is OBVIOUSLY not mine. I didn't make up the character, he did. He gave the character a personality - I'm just copying it in writing.

3. Some of the choices he makes are...questionable, but not overly so. What I get from Angelarts is that he's a man of feelings. He usually bases his character off of what they might think and feel, because he's a role-player - and while I sometimes think some of the choices are his own, he makes it clear he has the character in mind instead.

4. Downloadable Content. Won't spoil what TYPE of DLC, but just know it's there.

5. This is a homosexual playthrough. In case the first warning wasn't enough, the playthrough does indeed some homosexual acts, so of course this story will too. Not your cup of tea? Don't read :)

And I think these are the main four issues I want to address. So, pick your poison, and let's get this show on the road, shall we? :D

"And so is the Golden City blackened
With each step you take in my Hall
Marvel at its perfection, for it is fleeting
You have brought sin to Heaven
And doom upon all the world." - Canticle of Threnodies 8:13

It was a bright day in Denerim. The sun was shining, and though, another day is just a reminder of what the living conditions were in such places such as the Alienage, this did not bring the spirit of the elves down.

Today was supposedly a good day, a day of celebration, a day of all good things to come, and yet...something felt...off. It felt...like there was something more to this day, something big, bigger than one would expect to happen, and the cause - the reason - for it all could be found just in the center of a Ferleden, in a small little cubby of a house, a bit spaces away from the buzzing life of the elves.

"Angelus," A voice whispered into the ear of a sleeping elf. "Wake up."

The elf groaned, batting the voice away as he tried to go back to sleep. The other elf, female, wasn't having it however and continued to persist the one laying in bed. Finally, the elf turned to his side and got up from his bed, giving the redheaded elf a glare.

"Shianni..." He said, rubbing his left eye. "Can't it wait for another last minute or so?"

The female, Shianni, shook her head in disbelief at how lazy her cousin was.

"No, it can't wait. Today is your big day! You do remember it, don't you?" She asked with a frown on her face. Angelus cocked his head to the side, trying in vein to remember what was so special about today, a day where Shianni had so rudely barged into his room and began to pester him.

"Summerday?" He questioned. Shianni scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"It's your wedding day! You and Soris are getting married off! I can't believe you don't remember this." She said, shaking her head. Angelus just blinked, mind blank, before what she just said caught up to him and a sense of panic and dread began to drill into his chest.

"M-Married? To who?" He stuttered, looking at his cousin with wide eyes. Shianni just giggled, winking at him as a light blush came across his face.

"Nesiara! Your beautiful bride that you were suppose to be wedded to! She's also here and you're almost an hour late of meeting her. Quickly, get dress and hurry out the front door! Don't want to keep her waiting long now, do you?" But before Angelus could say anything, stuttering over his words, Shianni continued with a dreamy sigh. "Everything is already set. There's going to be music, decorations, feasting. Weddings are so much fun! You're so lucky!"

Then why don't you marry her? Is what Angelus wanted to say, but instead, gave his cousin a nauseated smile and began to change the subject.

"How does Soris feel about all this?" Shianni shook her head, the smile on her face widen.

"I think he's just glad he's not alone. He's sweating so much he looks like a human." She laughed, and Angelus laughed too, except his was more forced and nervous and really, Angelus wanted to break down and cry.

"R-right. But, Shianni, there's something I should tell you-" He started, but Shianni shook her head.

"After the wedding! I'll leave you to get dress." She said and walked away. Angelus watched her go, the dread inside his stomach eating him alive as he looked up at the ceiling with hopelessness.

"Maker help me..." He whined. Just then, a chuckle was heard and Angelus saw his dad standing there, a kind yet sad smile on his face, arms folded.

"Still not pleased about this?" He asked. Angelus shook his head.

"Not at all. Why am I betrothed again?" He said. Angelus knew he was sounding a bit childish, but the elf thought he was in the right. He didn't even know the girl, he never saw her in his life, he certainly didn't harbor any feelings towards her - except, maybe friendship? Heh? - and now was being forced to marry her. Marrying some unknown girl - at least, in Angelus eyes - and that's not even the worst of it.

The worst of it, is that Angelus didn't even swing that way.

How was he going to tell his bride-to-be this? That he wasn't even so closely attracted to the opposite sex? What if she took it the wrong way? What if she found him disgusting and shameful, and try to ruin his life? Well no. Even for Angelus that was bit too far, but the point was - Angelus was gay. He liked men. He hadn't told anyone that, but that was the truth.

And here he was, getting married to a women.

Unbelievable.

"Tradition, child. With so little between Alienage's and a few reason to travel, you must trust your elders." Cyrion said. Angelus wanted to roll his eyes, but he knew better. He loved his father too much to disrespect him in that way, so continued listening to him. "The dowry has been paid, the Chantry has issued a permit. All we need is you."

"But I don't want to get married." At least not to someone Angelus wasn't attracted to.

Cyrion laughed.

"I understand. Before I met Adaia, I was ready to go hunt for the Dalish elves. Now, get dress! Soris is waiting for you outside." He said and just like Shianni, began walking away, leaving Angelus to himself to get change. Angelus debated for a moment before realizing that even if he did run, the chances of being caught was just a little too high. That, and they would have nowhere to go anyway. So, with much reluctance, Angelus open his chest that held his wedding clothes and a health potion.

A bright, beautiful day indeed.

A/n: Sooo, how is it thus far? :) As I've said, I never played Dragon Age before so go easy on me please . I would really like to hear feedback :D
