Prompt of the week in 500 words or less: The sound of crying from another room.

Alistair's Regret


I hear her crying before I reach the door.

She's been so strong to this point.

Her whole family betrayed, slaughtered.

Her only hope?

To live the life of a Warden: all the horror, none of the glory.

She's been leading us through this nightmare-selflessly-without complaint.

She offered to continue, by ruling at my side as Denerim's Queen.

To ensure our survival in the coming battle,

I agreed to the unthinkable.

I agreed to sleep with Morrigan.

I went reluctantly. For her. For us.

My actions finally broke the woman I've come to love.

Maker, please forgive me.

End Notes:

**Hugs** For enduring more sad with me.

I will be doing semi-regular prompt fills. Follow me for the most reliable updates. Most of the pieces in here will be for the Collected works of the Sadness Appreciation Society on AO3. I tend to lean on the fluffy/happy side of writing, so this is me branching out a bit and challenging myself. That's not to say, that I won't include the occasional bit of fluff to soothe your soul (and mine too).

This work is un-beta'd - all mess-ups are all on me!

Thanks for stopping in!
