This was so cute. :D

I love Varel’s dry humor. He’s such a great character. And all the little messages kept me laughing.

That William Carlos Williams poem is one of favorites (weird, I know, I had a weird teacher). Socks with a monogrammed ‘A’! So cute!

Absolutely adorable! I am jealous of your talent with dialogue. It seems to flow so naturally in your stories and I have such a hard time writing it! Your take on Alistair is perfect and I really loved the whole poem/gift treasure hunt. A wonderful idea that captured the voice of the characters perfectly!

This is a fantastic one shot! I love your take on William Carlos Williams..spotted it right away. The plotting was fantastically brilliant actually - how you wove in all the companions via the treasure hunt. Clever monkey you are! And the dropping of Varric's writings as well..well placed. Bravo! I am sure it was well appreciated!

Okay, this? Too adorable for words. I love the Graeme-esque take, and everyone's riddles were in just the right 'voice' for the characters. Just perfect story for Champ!

"Ahem. Coo, coo, coo. All right. 'My dearest friends, I have missed you every day since we were parted. I wake each morning to the sights and sounds of my beloved Val Royeaux, and think that if only I could be sharing it with my precious friends, then I could ask no more of …' It goes on like that, sheets and sheets."

*SNORT* Bwahaha!

This story is brilliant, Ole! I'm glad you posted it here. The ideas you had for the gifts were all awesome!
Alistair's comment about Shale was the best! LOL! And his dialogue with Mena is so natural. They really feel like a married couple. Nicely done!
Suilven chapter 1 . 7/7/2012
I loved this story so much, Ole. It was sweet and funny and the affection between Alistair and Mena is so wonderful to read. Brilliant.
Josie Lange chapter 1 . 7/7/2012
I just loved this wild goose chase/scavenger hunt through Vigil's Keep! I think Justice and Oghren's notes were my favorites. Justice's was completely to the point, as usual, while Oghren's was clearly written by someone else and then he just signed it to put his own "personal" stamp on it.

And Alistair got socks and cheese... I think is day is just about complete!

Awesome job, Ole!
Persephone Chiara chapter 1 . 7/7/2012
That was bloody hilarious. I esp. love the way you write Alistair. Spot on.

Excellent little ficlet!

I believe I have mentioned once or twice before that you are a genius with dialogue, and this proves my point admirably. Sweet and funny and delightful!

Lol this was great.
Isabeau of Greenlea chapter 1 . 7/7/2012
This was so hilarious! All of the gifts and the poems were so apt to the people who made them. It's nice to see Warden!Alistair and his mage so obviously content. The byplay between them is the comfortable sort suited to people who've been together for so long.
Shakespira chapter 1 . 7/7/2012
The banter between Mena and Alistair is such fun to read. You captured Alistair brilliantly...wit and snark is spot on.

The gifts were perfect from both the giver and the receiver's perspective...if that made sense. I need more coffee, I think. And the poems were likewise perfect.

This just made me grin the entire way through with bouts of laughter thrown in.

Awesome!
