Welcome, rarepair lovers, to the Cassandra x Varric thread, version 2! Also known as Cassaric or Tethraghast. (Banner by morie91) Ok, so Varric Tethras and Cassandra Pentaghast. I know I can't be the only one who likes this idea. Even DORIAN sees it!
And, as of Trespasser, we have this adorableness:
• Video
In-Game Scenes and Banter:
Varric/Cassandra Banter (Navigate to 2:17:50)
• Fan Fiction
Cassaric on Tumblr & Others:
• Art (Spoiler Tagged for Size) Fanart:
Comics:
Banners, Icons, etc:
Who else has something? Art? Fanfic? Thoughts? Gushy fan glee over the idea of these two together? GUSH AWAY!

YES. When it was clear Hawke/Varric and Inky/Varric weren't in the cards, I hopped ship to this pairing. She literally reads his smut and Dorian points out their UST. She brings up his chest hair of her own accord, and is gooey-happy when he includes her in his book. I love it.

And did you notice how they stay looking at each other while everyone else peers off the balcony dramatically? Eventually they look there too, but for a while its just him and her staring and him smiling at her. lol

I don't know if that was just an accident since sometimes the characters eyes stay locked on the one they spoke to if no one else is taking or if that was done to tease us fans lol

I dunno how accidental it was -- but if an accident, it was a happy one, as far as I'm concerned. lol

Well, here she's with Varric, so... grats to you? lol Speaking of canon, though, if we assume canon compliancy (and non-cass romance by the player), Trespasser ends with these two apart. What do you think could bring the two of them back together? I think the fight against Solas could do it. Non-Divine Cass is probably traveling around all sorts of places, helping the Inquisitor. Kirkwall could be one of those places.

Ah, Tethraghast/Cassaric. One of the rare cases where I went from enjoying/hoping for a pairing to loathing it with the strength of one thousand suns ridding one thousand elephants all thanks to the fandom. From the charming "How can you not see that they're in love? Even Dorian see it?! They're in love and you're either willfully blind or an idiot for not seeing it!" (I don't know, maybe it's because I've listened to the whole banter, especially the part where Varric himself shuts the idea down? But sure, getting called an idiot will definitely change my mind.) to getting salty anon ask on Tumblr right after getting one of my commissions featuring Cass and my inquisitor, complaining that Tethraghast is OTP and I should stop wasting my money on Cassandra/Cadash shit (never published that one, much to the sender's chagrin I guess, but it made my day.)
Anyway, have fun with that pairing people. I wish I still could.

Though I don't believe I've called anyone an idiot anywhere in this thread for not shipping it... Also, I'm not really arguing they're in love, per say. I'm saying there's possible tension and potential.

I ship them so hard 😝 I'd also like to add that Varric also writes an entire novel just for her. Sure they both try to shift the blame because 'Quizzy' but ultimately he wrote it just for Cassandra 😏

There is a spark there IMO, Cassandra pays way too much attention to him and he has waty too much fun poking insults at her. Sure, they aren't aware of it yet...maybe...but it wouldn't take much to get those two together...we just need a recently broken up Varric who has lost his desire to write and a persistent Cassandra who's on a mission to find him some inspiration by playing matchmaker. He wants his privacy, she wants her damn, next chapter of Swords and Shields and to get it she's going to introduce him to every available female from Ferelden to Tavinter...dammit!....Sorry, I just think that would make a cute story.

Sure Cassandra's a bad ass, but she's also a softie, I don't think it would take much for her to admit to herself that Varric is actually a good guy. If she overheard Bianca dumping Varric and saw that Varric was heartbroken I think she'd ease up on him. And Varric can come across as gruff, but he's a marshmellow when it comes to people he cares about, I think they'd compliment eachother well.

Oh, yay! Stoked to see this thread. Can't help but think these two would be great together Dunno why it didn't show in my bookmarks that this had updated, but hi there! lol Definitely good together, yes. I wonder... I suppose Cassandra would go to live in Kirkwall? Ultimately, anyway. I can see Varric traveling with her for adventure/seeker-related stuff if needed. Especially when he needs a break from viscounting. But ultimately his home is that city and he's settled there. (Might need a more proper house than his rooms at the Hanged Man, though. lol ) If Cassandra somehow gets roped into the Nevarran throne or something, that could lead to some issues. If she's Divine, its just another of many issues. I could see them managing if all her professional life involved was managing the Seekers, though. Like, she'd be abroad for a lot of the time, but Kirkwall would be that place she always returns to. Till she retires. This is all after the Solas-related world saving is over, of course.
