I like where this is going, definitely an interesting take as to where Anders has come from, and nice to read more about Rivaini characters! I'm super excited for your next chapter, happy new year!

Lol yes let’s just serve him dishwasher. I like it. Arisa seems cool, snarky and can be petty, but kind. As in sometimes gets her into trouble kind. I’d love to read more about the siblings and their spunk.

Anders sounds like a real piece of work. Curse her pesky morals and guilt, she could have left him on a street corner.

Well damn this is really interesting. Dammit her mother seemed really nice, I'm upset they ended up separated.

I... love only one boy and he goes by the name Niccolai and is a beautiful sarcastic little kid who tells nothing but the truth. He wants to protect Rista and keep her safe and happy it's a mutual family bond and I can feel my soul heal when I read their interactions. Also, RISTA IN THE TAVERN? EVERYTHING about it is wonderful. God, her voice comes through so clearly? She's changed since Kirkwall but I still love her as she is; little bit rough around the edges but still looking after her family! god damn it Anders.
i love your writing so much limey it's always such a joy to read your work? i'm hashtag blessed to know u

YES, another story! Man lemme just get it out there that I love Arista SO MUCH and I cannot WAIT TO READ MORE OF HER! She's such a little trooper looking after her mum and her little brother! I know you're Not Going To Let Her Live (especially after that ending doigfhjslakdf) but please consider not ruining her life. I'm begging you here lome. Don't take Nicky away from her nOT AFTER THE DOCKS AJDLFKJSA WAS SO NICE, SUCH A GOOD READ THANK YOU SO MUCH
