Rating: Hard R

Disclaimer: Much as I love these characters, I do not own them. They belong to all the geniuses over at Bioware, may they always continue to make games that touch my heart.
Summary: She's wanted it for so long, but it has to be on his terms. She just never expected it to feel like this.
A/N 1: I was not satisfied with the setup to the first time that my f!Hawke and Fenris were together - it was far too abrupt, and didn't seem to flow with the steady respect that existed between the characters before and after. And so my plotbunny jumped in and made...adjustments :) This incorporates more into their first kiss, and fills in the "fade to black" before we find Hawke waking up on the bed later in the night.
A/N 2: For those of you on my friends' list who follow me for my Star Trek - I would highly recommend reading this if you're interested in het. I intentionally made it so that you don't have to know what's happening in the game to enjoy the fic. All you really need to know is that Fenris is broken, and bleeding, and angry (kinks of mine? OH YES!!!!).
Oh. And he looks like THIS:
Bestill my beating heart XD
A/N 3: Apparently my plotbunny decided that what was supposed to be a short one-shot was going to develop into a SERIES of one shots. Each of them is stand alone, and can be read in any order. There are at least more tentatively in the works, but I have no idea where this is headed or why XD
Second entry in "A Feeling of Something" -- Trembling in the Aftermath
Third Entry in "A Feeling of Something" -- Fumbling Towards Hope
Holding Back the Darkness
( When she sees him turn to leave, she could curse. )
As The Sun
( He sprawls as if there exists not a single bone in his body. )
A/N: I have never taken a ballet class in my life. All information gleaned in preparation for writing this fanfiction was taken rather audaciously from the glorified halls of Wikipedia. As such, if anything does not sound right, it is purely the author's fault and she apologizes beforehand. Also, I have no idea how long it actually takes to learn anything in ballet – so if this happens in a much shorter timeframe than would be considered wise, or even possible…it's fanfic, and I take liberties ;)
It's in the Touch of Your Hand
( He's been doing them so long it's like breathing. )
( He can't help but stare ast he elegant, long-limbed being before him spreads an arm in an encompassing gesture. )
Resolve's Reward
( Jim shifts through the crowd, maneuvering around moving bodies as easily as breathing. )
It's Always Back to You
( Sighing, Bones scoops the chicken soup into two bowls. )
Unfettered Rage
( A shoulder collides with his. )
The Longest Christmas
The Longest Christmas
( He plays the game, knows the steps by heart and by now it's easy to pretend. )
