Summary: When their parents died, Tesni Mahariel was left to raise her brother Caerwyn with the help of the rest of their clan. True to their penchant for getting into trouble, Caerwyn and Tamlen went hunting one day and ran afoul of amirror, of all things. The next thing Tesni knew, Caerwyn had been recruited by the Grey Wardens. As if she’d let some shemlen just take her brother away! Determined to keep Caerwyn safe, Tesni goes after them, and antics ensue. She’ll stop the Blight to protect her family, Caerwyn will help--grumbling all the while--and Alistair will do his best to bond with his tattooed and bristly new brethren. When all is said and done, the blurred lines between friendship and blood bonds will draw them down a path that will change all three of them forever.

In which the chapter art pretty much says it all.

Okay so we know we swore to update every Tuesday, and we, uh, didn't last week. But there were extenuating circumstances, we swear! When you have a buffer and you still don't have enough time to post? That's a Bad Week.

Special thanks to cave_fatuam for her incredible art. Neither of us can properly convey how much we love it and to what extreme extent we are certain that we can never repay her. Infinite <3s, Bef!

I honestly can't remember if I started this before or after Miri posted the prompt for August. Either way, it seems to fit.
Enjoy!
