Adoribull
Dorian Pavus/The Iron Bull
A Tevinter altus raised to despise Qunari and a Ben-Hassrath spy raised to despise Tevinter trade barbed banter across Dragon Age: Inquisition until it canonically becomes something neither names easily. Their romance happens between party quips — a relationship the player can watch bloom without steering it. Fans cherish how two men from enemy empires negotiate tenderness on their own terms.

Handers
Anders/Hawke
The possessed healer running a free clinic in Darktown loves Hawke for an entire decade of Dragon Age 2 — and then blows up the Chantry, forcing the Champion to judge the man who shares their bed. No Dragon Age romance divides the fandom like Anders, which is exactly why the fic runs so deep. Every story must answer the same question: do you stay after Kirkwall burns?

Alistair x Warden
Alistair/Warden
The bastard prince who would rather crack jokes than claim a throne falls for his fellow Grey Warden over a rose plucked in Lothering. Origins then weaponizes the romance: the Landsmeet can crown him, harden him, or break the relationship entirely, and the archdemon demands a life unless a dark ritual intervenes. Fifteen years on, BioWare fans still call him the gold standard of awkward video game boyfriends.
