Author's Note: this was written for the prompt of Leliana and Mara getting Married since I had already done Hawke and Merrill for another prompt.

Mara hefted a bag filled with groceries over her shoulder as she walked home through the streets of Val Royeaux. After the Blight and Amaranthine, she had reunited with her Leliana, and decided to take a vacation with her lover. After hearing so much about it, she had been fascinated to see the Orlesian capital.
They had rented a small apartment in the heart of the city, and so far Mara had been impressed. The city was every bit as fanciful as Leliana's stories had told, even if it was a bit extravagant for her tastes. The streets may as well have been paved with gold.
Of course, the city was nothing when compared to the beauty of her Orlesian Bard.
"Leli! I'm home!" Mara called as she opened the door to their small apartment.
"I'm in here, Mon Ange."
Mara smiled when she heard the sweet Orlesian accent of her lover, and had to stop herself from sprinting. She had been out all morning, and was excited to see her Leliana.
But she froze when she entered the room. Inside was Leliana, but sitting in a chair just beside her was a woman she didn't recognize, clad in Chantry robes.
Leliana looked up, and smiled that perfect smile up at Mara, who entered the room rather slowly, and pulled up a chair beside the two other women.
"Let me introduce you, Mon Cœur." She gestured to the Chantry woman. "This is Revered Mother Dorothea. Dorothea, this is my fiancée, Marilina Amell."
Mara leaned forward and shook Dorothea's hand, remembering that this woman was the one who had saved Leliana in her darkest hour. "It's wonderful to meet you." She smiled. "Leliana's told me about you."
"And she's told me all about you." Dorothea returned her handshake with a smile. "We've been talking about you two all morning."
"Oh? All good things I hope?"
Dorothea chuckled. "You haven't any idea. She's been talking about you for hours."
Mara glanced at Leliana, who had a lovely blush on her beautiful cheekbones, and gave a laugh as well.
"I... may have rambled a little about you." She rubbed the back of her neck, and Mara laughed again.
"Aww, I'm sorry I missed it then. I love listening to your ramble."
Leliana turned to Dorothea, her face beaming. "You see? She's such a pleasure to be around."
"So what are we discussing?" Mara rested her head on her knuckles and sat forward.
Leliana turned to Dorothea, and gave her a smile before turning back to Mara. "You remember that day in Denrim, where you asked if I would marry you?"
Mara glanced at Dorothea, and back at Leliana, unsure why her lover was bringing up such a personal and controversial topic so suddenly. "Of course I do."
"Well," Leliana smiled with her perfect teeth. "Dorothea has agreed to officiate our wedding."
Mara turned her head sharply to the Chantry Mother. "Really?" Dorothea nodded. "I... wow, t-thank you."
Dorothea smiled at her. "I should be the one thanking you. I don't think I've ever seen Leliana so happy as she is when she talks about you. I would be delighted to wed you two." She looked out the window where sunlight was streaming down, and sighed. "I wish I could stay and meet with you, but I'm supposed to meet with the Lord Seeker about now."
She stood, and so did Mara and Leliana. Leliana gave a hug to her oldest friend, and Mara gave one to her newest friend.
"Thank you." Mara whispered when she gave a hug to Dorothea.
"And thank you for taking care of Leliana." The Revered Mother nodded, and showed herself out.
"Wow." Mara murmured, leaning against her Leliana, feeling her heart beating rapidly in her chest. "We-we're going to be married."
Leliana kissed her on the forehead. "I love you."
Mara turned with the biggest smile on her face. "I love you too." She stood on her tiptoes, and kissed Leliana on the nose. "You make me so happy."
"You make me even happier." Leliana kissed her bride-to-be back.
They entwined their hands, and their eyes met for several wonderful seconds, and then Mara broke the silence.
"Well then, my wonderful fiancée, how about some lunch?"
Leliana giggled. "I will never understand how you Wardens can eat so much."
Mara folded her arms. "And just what does that mean?"
Leliana laughed, and moved her head next to Mara's, whispering in her lover's ear. "That I'll have to make sure you get plenty of exercise."
The Warden laughed, and gave Leliana a hug. "I love you so much." She pulled back a little. "But seriously, I'm starving."
