“你们准备在我死之后多久开始做爱。”床上的年轻男人已经没有嘴唇了,有些话说得不大清楚。唯独这一句说得清清楚楚、确凿无误,没有被错会成其他任何内容的可能。既不会被当作一句晨间问候,也不会被听成一句毒咒。他咬字轻柔,嗓音沙哑。“你”无疑是指他爸;“们”的含义倒是有待商议,按他的性子,说的很有可能是霍克斯,;“什么时候”,问的是时间;“做爱”,就是它的字面意思。这个问题也许是轰灯矢在虚弱得说不出话的时候苦心钻研的,也可能就是临时起意,随口那么一提,但也足够让人下不来台。他们——安德瓦,还有轰灯矢本人——那会儿都没想起来,在轰焦冻还没出生而轰灯矢又确实已经让他老爸失望了之后的一次饭桌上,轰灯矢也曾看着

Why Angst Handers Fanfiction Works So Well
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?
Angst — Stories focused on emotional pain, drama, and intense feelings.
Loving a revolutionary means inheriting his war; the ship is one long argument about forgiveness with the city on fire behind it. Sometimes you want to feel deeply - angst delivers emotional catharsis and meaningful character exploration.
