When tensions rise in a small group, companions take things into their own hands to secure resolution. Caught up in their oblivious camaraderie, Varric and Lady Hawke get wrapped up in one of these traps, but they'll get their revenge. Eventually.

It always amazed him how someone so small, so seemingly insignificant, and completely unfettered could prove so overwhelmingly effective in battle.

Bit of a crackfic; Hawke finds out from Aveline that she's been doing some late night "campaigning" for mages with Isabela. Anders approves but thinks her methods might be a little misguided. A fair bit of innuendo but nothing explicit.
