God I love this story SO much. You have an amazing sense of humour and it comes across so well. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story about a pairing I never would’ve thought about before this morning.

I absolutely loved this!

Wonderful, beautiful and amazing. I cannot express the love that I hold for what you’ve created here. Bravo lovely human ️

I have read alot of fan fic but this one really tops it. This chapter in particular was just mind boggling. It is honestly the best written smut I have ever read! You put accomplished, published authors to shame. The way you perfectly captured not only the true essence of your characters as though they were flesh and blood but this exploration, curiosity, mystery, trust, joy and lust was just perfectly expressed. I do not think the word perfect describes this chapter. It's honestly a masterpiece

Literally finished this in two days, author, I want to smack you for the heartbreak damnit. Also when you say you had “no skill in writing” my god I could not stop reading. It was an absolutely amazing fic I’m so sad that I just now found this. I hope that your still writing. And I have a question! Will there be a sequel? I for sure thought that Hawke was going to go to the Qun for a long time, just with how you had set things up. If not I understand, but you write beautifully and you’ve gained a huge fan!

omggg this chapter was AMAZING (as usual). the last part almost killed me ughhh they're just so cute together and her friendship with Fenlin and the Sten is everything. thank you so much for blessing us with this story. you're fulfilling all my wild Qunari fantasies and I'm living for it

I love this story so much and it's made so happy. I'm having hours of fun reading it and I just wanted to thank you for writing it. I've been feeling pretty down, but reading about the Arishok and Mairead has put a little extra spring in my step. I love Mairead and I'M NEVER GOING TO GET OVER THE PART WHERE SHE'S PISSED OFF AND HUDDLED UP IN A BLANKET WITH ONLY HER FACE PEEKING OUT AND SHE'S GLARING AT THE ARISHOK, FUMING, AND HE'S JUST LIKE "you look ridiculous" AHHH! I laughed so hard. you're amazing. never stop writing. thank you thank you thank you!

Awesome work man, the ending made my day.

Thank you so much for writing and sharing this story with us. Even though it's a pairing that I never thought I would really care about, you made both charactersespecially the Arishokbelievable and true to their original motivations and personalities. The story has had me hooked for three days straight, and I'm now going to see if I van find the invasion piece you mentioned, I really want a definite, conclusive ending to their story. Thanks again for posting this, it was a great read. Simone Ruru

XD Everyone goes silent when the healer is pissed

I *adore* how this story played out. The development of Hawke's feelings for the Arishok and the other qunari, the way both Hawke and the Arishok had traits that were recognisably infuriating and potentially damaging to a relationship but kept going and working through that problem together, and rather than it ~magically disappearing~ Hawke's side of things being the reason they stay together - until the invasion of Kirkwall anyway ;n;

The qunari philosophy and language you invent are woven beautifully into our canon knowledge of the qun, and I loved that you worked in the fucking varterral's regeneration, damn that giant five-legged spider.

Finally done reading. I dont usually give reviews even if I enjoyed the piece, but this one definitely deserves it. You are a very talented writer, Im not a pro so this is based on my standard as a reader. It is completely entertaining and the way you managed to keep the both of them in character till the end is a WOW. This story has it all, humor, thrill, romance and development (both in character and story). I am not really good with words, that is also one of the reasons why i dont give reviews since I migt not be able to give proper credit where its due. But this is one of the very few stories where i felt he emotions in every scene especially the last part. So, thank you for such a wonderful story.

The best Arishok story, I swear. So looking forward to the Invasion of Kirkwall. On another note, the song Fairytale by Alexander Rybak reminds of the relationship between Hawke and the Arishok

the mabari line just killed me. very funny.

This was actually so well done I would be completely ok with you throwing the rest of the cannon out the window to continue it.
