Just a drabble I posted on Tumblr long ago and, well, I'd like to leave it here, cleaner and prettier because it looks better in a proper site.
It CAN be a part of the Breadsticks AU so I AM putting it there but can be read as a standalone.

Fenris did not dance. At least not in public, mostly because he did not know how to and neither did Anders.
The mage tried, though, and one would expect that those years working at Denerim's Pearl (of course he knew about those) as a pole-dancer even, would have taught him something. Anders was excellent with the pole (of course he knew that too and so did Isabela), and the pole, but it wasn't the same.
So, they did not dance.
Unless you would call the way Anders embraced him and rested his chin atop his head "dancing". Or the way the mage hummed and spun them around the room "dancing". Or the way Fenris let him take the lead and just went with him, even humming the same melody sometimes... "dancing".
It felt as intimate as the nights Fenris took Anders during their... Lovemaking (yes, they were past that point already and no, Varric is not getting details for his book). If not even more so.
So, they did not dance.
But close enough.
