Got inspired to write this little drabble-ish thing after doing the "Ultimate Sacrifice" ending in Dragon Age Origins with my f!Cousland, Elora. I imagine these would be written the night before the final battle, after refusing Morrigan's offer.

Alistair,

Do you remember the day we met? You were sassing mages, and I was the snarky new recruit. It's a wonder Duncan didn't just knock our heads together, haha. I'm sure he was tempted to. Ostagar seems like a lifetime ago now. I guess I just wanted to thank you. You've become like a brother to me, and you stuck with me even when I didn't make it easy. I'm sorry I can't keep my promise.

Morrigan,

I know you will probably never see this, my friend, and for that I am sorry, just as I am sorry that I let you down. Please believe that I had my reasons. But you never liked excuses, did you? I'm so glad we met, and I hope this letter finds its way to you someday.

Wynne,

Thank you so much. How you managed to put up with us all, I'll never know. But I am grateful for it. You taught me so much in the relatively short time we knew each other, and I know I am a better person for it. Again, thank you.

Sten,

Life's a funny thing, isn't it? I had barely heard of the Qunari before I met you, and now you've become the voice in the back of my head, constantly urging me to better myself. I hope you found an answer for the arishok, and that you are able to give it to him someday soon. Farewell, kadan.

Oghren,

You never really were the sentimental type, were you? In fact, you're probably harrumphing right now and claiming you got dust in your eye. I know you at least that well, you crazy blighter. Take care of yourself, and Felsi too.

Shale,

If you want to rip this up after you read it, go ahead. It'll be our little secret. Meeting you certainly was an experience, and one I'm glad I had. Try not to get yourself paralyzed again. I know how much you hate it, and I'd hate for you to end up covered in pigeon crap again.

Leliana,

My dearest friend, where would I be without you? You are the sister I never had, and you always know just how to cheer me up. And who else could I go to for girl talk? I will miss that, as well as listening to your wonderful stories. Maybe you'll write one about our adventures. Although you may want to leave out that time I tripped and landed in the pile of halla manure. That wasn't one of my better moments.

I never told you properly, did I? Funny how something so big, can fit into such small, little words.

I love you.
