Rating: T for now
Summary: F!Surana and Zevran each have their secrets. Some are stranger than others. The trouble with secrets is that they are best kept by only one person. But there's always someone else who knows the hidden things.
AN: Y'know, from how he speaks, how he looks (it may be poor character design, who knows?) and the sorts of things he knows, I think that Zev is probably a good bit older than oh... say the twenty-five to twenty-eightish that Alistar, Leliana and Morrigan appear to be. My guess is that he's more mid-thirties. Sly, lecherous dog. I also think he set a bad trap and didn't use anywhere near the amount of skill he could have. Superior numbers, weapons, planning and skill – all of which he had – should have lead to the demise of the Wardens. Except it didn't. And I think that it's because he wanted to die so badly that he purposely set just enough of a trap to make it look like he was trying to succeed rather than fail. Remember, at the time, he really just wanted to throw himself into something and not come out of it alive. Not only that but afterwards he chose not to show his skill so that he didn't raise further suspicions, primarily the PC!Warden's because he didn't want to be questioned as to his motives for failing so utterly.
I'm going to say that this is AU because it's an idea that's been kicking around in the very back of my head that I've desperately, and I do mean desperately, been trying to avoid. Lahar is the elven mage origin, but she didn't come to the Circle of Ferelden the typical way. Hopefully it won't be too off putting.
Also a further side note, the Crows have a form of martial arts that is exclusive to them that for no other reason that I can't think of a better name I'll call the Baile de muerte or Death Dancing. Terrible I know. Sorry.
Beta'd by the absolutely splendiferous Steph, she who is a fellow SCA nut, music-o-phile and all around awesome person. She made this pile legible. Hopefully ya'll enjoy it now that it's been straightened up.
This has been cross-posted to the ZevCom, and FF.net. I was advised that I should go ahead and post over here.... hopefully no one feels like I'm flooding them with copies of this....
Also, who do I ask for a series tag?
