A/N: There's going to be a major time skip because Act 1 annoys me. I hate playing through it, I don't want to write it. I'll explain relationships as we go. And I realize DA2 rogues can't really be Rangers, but I like Rangers too much not to have the rogue be one. She'll just call more unusual animals. The mage is also going to be a shape shifter, with some alterations.

time skip
Devi and Althea landed in a dark room, with the only light coming from the full moon directly above them. A person walked in front of them, but kept his or her features shadowed.
"The time has come for you to begin your own adventure. The place and time is set. Your roles as well. Chose your class and you may begin." The shadow said.
Three panels rose in front of the girls. On them were pictures. One was a shield, another, a dagger, and the third a staff.
The red haired Devi chose the dagger, her ice blue eyes shining in excitement, while the black haired Althea chose the staff, white eyes lit with fire.
"And so your adventure begins." The shadow stated.
The girls were enveloped in a bright light and then they were whisked away.
Devi woke first and it was to screams of terror and pain. She bolted from her bed and flipped Althea out of hers.
"The hell was that for Vi?" She yelled.
"Something's going on. We have to move." Devi responded.
"Oh alright." Althea said, hearing the screams.
Their mother, Bethany and Carver burst into the room.
"Oh thank goodness you two are alright." Their mother, Leandra said as she hugged them.
"Mother we have to get out of here." Said Carver.
"Of course." She said.
They grabbed what belongings they could and fled from the house. On their way out of the little town they encountered what could only be described as zombies, only with better combat skills. Devi pulled out her bow, knocked an arrow, and let it fly….straight into its face.
"Devi-1. Darkspawn-0." She said.
"Vi, there's more." Althea said.
"I know, but I thought you'd want to have some fun with that fire of yours." Devi stated.
"Oh. Well then thank you." Althea said.
She raised her staff and fireballs rained down on the Darkspawn. Most of them fell and those that survived were cut down by their brother's Greatsword.
"Happiness!" Devi exclaimed.
"Vi."
"Yes Thea."
"We have to run."
"Why?"
"There's about fifty more behind us."
"Oh. Ok."
They continued running and fighting until they came upon a ginger fighting to protect a wounded Templar from Darkspawn.
"We should help." Devi said.
"But it's a Templar." Bethany said.
"And your point?" Althea questioned.
"He's going to try and kill the two of us."
"Bullshit!"
after fight
"The order dictates." The Templar said.
"Ok. You were right." Althea told Bethany.
"I'm Aveline Vallen and this is my husband Wesley."
Althea glared at the Templar.
"We can kill each other later." Devi said and pulled them along.
At the end of their journey, Althea saved Carver from being crushed by an Ogre, Aveline had to kill Wesley due to the taint, and they, with the exception of Leandra, had to join a group of mercenaries in order to get into Kirkwall and live with their uncle.
4 years
"Vi, why can't we just tell them to meet us at the Hanged Man?" Althea asked.
"Because this is much more fun Thea." Devi said.
"But you know I don't like some of these people." She said.
"Alright fine." Devi consented, "You get a hold of Aveline, Anders, Isabella, and Varric. I'll handle the others."
"But that leaves me with more people." She whined.
"Isabella and Varric are in the same place." Devi said, sighing.
"Fine! Be that way!" Althea yelled and stomped away.
'From the way she acts you would think she's the youngest.' Devi thought.
Althea's POV
'I'll show her.' Althea thought, 'I'll make sure I'm home before her.'
She walked up the many stairs to Viscounts Keep and entered the building that housed the Viscount and the city guard. She made her way to the barracks and to the Guard Captain's office, where she knew Aveline would be. Aveline might as well have been a Hawke with how close she was to the family, and the protective older sister role she took within it.
"Hello Leena." Althea said to announce her presence.
"Why do you insist on calling me that?" Aveline said, exasperated.
"Eh, I want to." She said, "So how have you been?"
"Busy, you and your sister just love to rile people up. Especially anti-Fereldans." She said.
"Aveline, we're Hawkes. Do you really expect us to do anything else?" She retorted.
Devi's POV
'I suppose I should go see Fenris first. Then it'll just go in order and I won't be running around like a headless chicken.' Devi thought.
She walked past the Chantry and up the stairs that lead to the Hightown estates. When she reached Fenris' door she didn't bother to knock. She just walked in announcing herself as she went. This was a kind of routine with them. So long as you announced yourself you could just walk right in. While She and Fenris got along, he and Althea did not. They were constantly at each others throats. It mostly had to do with the fact that Althea was a mage and Fenris disliked mages. Alright, dislike is an understatement.
Devi found Fenris in the room he claimed as his own, as shown by the fact that he moved the important furniture into it: bed, dining table, two chairs, and two benches by the fireplace.
"'Ello, friend." She greeted.
"Devi." He nodded at her.
That was another thing. Her sister was either called Hawke or Witch. Devi was called by her name. It wasn't just Fenris who called Devi by her name either. Everyone did, with the exception of Varric who called her Winter, due to her eye color.
"So what's new on your end?" She asked.
"Absolutely nothing." He said, "No sign of Danarius since I met you."
"Well that's good right?" Devi asked.
"I'm not entirely sure." He said.
"Well we'll be out there slicing people down again soon, so maybe we'll take him down." She said.
"You're a good friend, Devi." He said.
"You say that now." She said jokingly.
Althea's POV
'And now I'll go to Darktown.' She thought, 'I'll show Vi who's smarter.'
She descended into the depths of Darktown to Anders' clinic. Out of everyone Althea had to be closest to Anders. They could often be found talking and teasing one another. She knocked twice on his door.
"Who's there?" He asked.
"Ketchup." She said.
"Ketchup who?" He called, confused.
"I thought I'd come by to ketchup with you." She said and giggled, "It's Althea."
He opened the door and ushered her inside.
"What is with you and those blighted knock knock jokes?" He asked.
"Well you set yourself up for it every time." She said, "It's not my fault."
"I'm sure you could resist if you tried." He said.
"But it's a part of me." She said, "And you love me."
"That's debatable. Why are you here?" He asked.
"Well Vi and I decided it's time to get back to work. Sitting up in Hightown all day is boring." She stated.
"I'll have bandages ready." He sighed.
"You know us so well!" She exclaimed.
Devi's POV
Devi walked up to the doors of the Chantry and slipped inside. Her ears immediately picked up the sound of arguing.
'How can Chantry people always be at each other's throats? It makes no sense. They're supposed to be all make peace not war.' She mused.
"You rang Sebastian?" She inquired when she was close enough.
"Devi!" He exclaimed, "Yes, I found out that the Harrimans hired the Flint Mercenaries. I want to know why, but I dare not go alone."
"Well, no need to ask. Of course I'll help." She said.
"Then I'll just accompany you until we go, if that's alright?" He said.
"Sure. I just have to go check up on Merrill and we can go interrogate them." She said, "I'll send Sarika with a message to Fenris and have him come with us."
She summoned a red falcon, wrote a note, and tied it to the bird named Sarika.
"Onward to Merrill's" She said and the two headed toward Merrill's place.
Althea's POV
Althea approached the Hanged Man with caution. There's no telling what goes on within at any given moment. The moment she stepped in, she spotted Isabella at the bar. Now Isabella and the oldest pair of Hawke twins got along very easily. Their minds practically shared a gutter.
"Hey Izzy!" Althea yelled.
"Hello, Hawke." Isabella greeted.
"Where's the Dorf?" She asked.
"In his room like always." She replied shaking her head.
"EW! He's doin the nasty with a crossbow!" Althea yelled.
Varric walked down the steps.
"Why do you always assume that, Hawke?" He asked.
"Gutter." Althea and Isabella replied.
"Be ready to kill stuff." Althea said, "So we need your room for meetings. So no doin nasty with Bianca. Bianca no doin nasty with Dorf. At least Bianca will listen."
Althea nodded and headed back to the house.
Devi's POV
"Yo, Mare! We got shit to do!" Devi yelled walking into Merrill's house.
Merrill was an in between with the Hawkes. Devi was ok with her. She was a blood mage, but she was also a ditz. Althea, on the other hand, completely hated her.
"Oh! We're going on a mission?" She asked.
"Yup. We're meeting Fenris outside his place then we're going to help Sebastian interrogate the Harrimans!" Devi replied.
"Alright." She said.
The three of them returned to Hightown and went to meet up with Fenris.
Narrator's POV
'I knew I'd beat her home!' Althea thought.
Just then Devi entered the estate covered in blood and reeking of demons.
"GODDAMMIT!" She yelled "I knew it was too good to be true. Why didn't you wait for me?"
"One, I wanted to get it done with. Two, you take forever, and three, Fenris was with us." Devi said by way of explanation.
"Stupid Glowstick." Althea muttered.
The others trailed in behind Devi.
"I heard that Witch." Fenris said glaring at Althea.
"Don't make me turn into kitty." She warned.
"Children behave." Devi said.
They both glared at her.
"I'm not a child." They both said, "She/He is."
"Don't make me separate you two!" She warned.
"But the Glowstick might like it." Althea muttered.
"Want to find out?" Fenris asked.
"No doin the nasty on the living room floor!" Althea said.
"Ok!." Devi exclaimed, grabbed his arm, and dragged him to her room.
"EW!" Althea yelled.
The door to Devi's room shut and all could hear the sound of the lock clicking behind them.
"EW!" Althea shouted again.
Devi's POV
"Do you have any threes?" Devi asked.
"Go Fish." Fenris replied, "Why are we doing this again?"
A muffled "EW!" was heard.
"To mess with my sister." She replied as she kicked over a chair.
"EW!" was heard more clearly.
"Why do you enjoy this so much?" He asked.
"Because I have get her back for short sheeting my bed…and putting honey in it." Devi said glaring at a burnt chair in the corner, "and that too."
"Well I can see why you'd be upset." He said, "Do you have any fives?"
"YES!" she screamed breathlessly.
"EW!" was squealed and a door was slammed.
Devi chuckled and handed over the five.
"I win." He said.
Devi smacked her forehead.
"One pair doesn't mean you win." she said.
"Oh. Well how do you win?" He asked.
"By having the most pairs when the deck's gone." She stated.
"Oh. Well ok then." He said and pushed the desk.
"You do realize she's gone right?" Devi said.
"But the others aren't." He stated, "Have any threes?"
Devi banged her head against the wall and groaned.
"You have got to be kidding me." She sighed.
Althea's POV moments earlier.
After the first bang, Althea turned around to see Anders walking in the door.
"I heard Devi went on a mission. Who's hurt and which limb is she missing?" He asked.
"Well she wasn't missing any limbs…" Althea trailed off.
A breathless "Yes!" was heard from Devi's room.
"EW!" she squealed and slammed the door to the study as she walked in.
A moment later Anders, Merrill, and Sebastian followed.
"Who is she up there with?" Anders asked.
"THE DAMN GLOWSTICK!" She yelled, "He's up there taking her virginity."
Anders' eyes got wide and to prove the point a bang and a groan was heard.
"I cannot fix that." He said looking at the many rolls of bandages he brought.
"No shit Sherlock." Althea said.
"Who's Sherlock?" Anders asked with a grin.
"I'm not even surprised anymore." She said.
Another bang was heard followed by a manly cry.
"By Andraste!" Sebastian exclaimed.
Devi's POV
"And that is where I draw the line." Devi said as she tackled Fenris away from her bed, "You are not messing with my sheets!"
"But you want it to be believable right?" He asked.
"Not like that though!" She said, "I want to be able to say 'Hey we were messing with you.'"
"But where's the fun in that?" He smirked and turned back to the bed.
Devi sighed and gave up. Then smirked.
"Alright." She said, "But if you're so intent on making it believable…..take off your shirt."
He looked at her in surprise.
"What?" He asked stopping.
"Look. Althea will come in here eventually to make sure we're not….you know." She said, "So we make it look completely like something happened."
He turned back to the bed and continued messing with the sheets. As he was doing that Devi stripped off her own shirt and tackled him.
"What are you doing?" He said as he tried to look anywhere but at her.
"Making it believable." She said and ripped off his shirt, "Now go to sleep."
She rolled under the covers and pulled him under with her.
"How is this making it believable?" He asked.
"Well, by stripping off our shirts and getting under the covers it makes it look as though we're naked as the days we were born. Therefore, it's completely believable." She explained.
"What about the lack of other clothing on the floor?" He asked.
"Eh. She won't get that far. She'll be screaming "ew" and "mother" long before she notices that there's no other clothing on the floor."
"This is Hawke we're talking about." He said.
"Good point." She said.
She then continued on to summon her Drake, Tobias. She directed him to sit right in front of the still locked door.
"And now she can't get in!" Devi said happily, though tiredly.
"Doesn't that defeat the purpose?" He asked.
"Shhhh. Go seep." She said already halfway there.
"Devi." He said nudging her.
"Shhhhhhhh." She said putting a finger to his lips and cuddling up to him, "I seepy."
Althea's POV
"It's official. He's never letting my sister out." Althea said worriedly.
"I'm sure she's fine." Anders said.
"She is NOT fine. The Glowstick dragged her up there, took her virginity, and now won't let her out of the room." She said, beginning to pace.
"Thea." Anders warned, "Don't forget. You're always jumping to conclusions that aren't true."
"She's already lied." Merrill said, "Devi dragged Fenris."
Anders looked at her in shock.
"Same thing." She snapped.
"Maybe you need some sleep." Sebastian said.
"And maybe you need some sex!" She turned on him.
"Andraste woman. I'm a brother of the Chantry." He said.
"They need sex too!" She yelled and threw up her hands, "You know what. Leave. NOW!"
Everyone left with the exception of Anders, who gave her the bandages.
"Will this help?" He teased.
She glared at him. Anders put on a happy-go-lucky grin.
"Kitty?" He asked with puppy dog eyes.
"I don't fall for puppy eyes." She said.
"But they're kitty eyes." He pouted.
"I don't fall for them either." She said.
"What if I gave you a hug?" He asked, still pouting.
"A hug?" She asked.
"Yup." He nodded.
"Fine." She caved.
"YAY!" He said and gave her a big bear hug.
She broke the hug and turned into her Tiger form.
"That is not a cat." He said pointing at her.
Althea nods her head.
"Is there a different kitty?" He asked hesitantly.
She nodded again and turned back into human.
"For the record," She started, "They don't call it a big cat for nothing."
She then morphed into her panther form.
"That is also not a kitty." He said with widened eyes.
Althea shrugged, flopped to her side, and nudged his hand.
"You want me to pet you?" He asked extremely confused.
She nodded her head.
"Well ok then." He said and started petting her.
'Oh yeah. Right there. Over. Over. There ya go.' She thought and began purring, 'I'll kill Devi later…..and Glowstick.'
