Not Safe for Work due to comic containing non-graphic sexual themes.

If you are also uncomfortable with Human Dwarf relationships/couplings, this comic is not for you.

For those who haven't played Dragon Age : Origins and don't mind spoilers that would provide context to this comic, you can read about the Dark Ritual here - [link]

---

The comic is about the Dark Ritual from Alistair's perspective, as the (un)lucky bastard who is about to impregnate Morrigan in an attempt to save the life of the Grey Warden who slays the Archdemon on the morrow.

It always bothered me that the scene that leads up to the ritual recycles the romantic cutscene sequence that was more suitable for Wardens who were either in love or at least good friends with Morrigan. Alistair detested her throughout the game, and while some argued that he looked terrified of her in the sequence, imho the ambivalence didn't quite translate well on-screen. So, I took little bit of liberties here and there in the pages to depict the kind of distress the dudebro should be feeling at the prospect of such a dubious affair.

Note: Was thinking whether I should've put a shot of Alistair's face here, but decided otherwise...the deed is done, and we know he wants to get outta there pronto

To all the Ali-fangirls/boys out there who hate Morrigan for this, just remember that within the week following this, his son will be avenging this pain through morning sickness, crazy cravings, and crazier mood swings.

I love this! When I played this scene I imagined her saying to a scared Alistair "Just pretend I'm your precious Clover." (My warden's name)

In the end it would have made the experience more bearable. Plus, after the act was done I could see him going back to Clover's room and holding her all night. (In my canon, she wasn't super happy with the idea, but it was better than either one of them dying.)

Beautiful!

I really love this interpretation of this scene. I have to agree, I'd have liked to see more ambivalence on Alistair's face, considering he and her both say on many occasions how they can't stand the other.
Morrigan's getting a powerful underling out of the deal, so the sort of smug smirk you gave her on the last page is pretty approps, I think. And I love that you put in that to help him, Alistair simply thought of -why- he was even doing this. And that was all for the Warden.

LOVE IT!

Beautiful work, as usual.  I, myself, always wondered why Morrigan didn't shapechange into my Warden's form, having become my friend and companion of almost a year.  It would have been a lot easier on Alistair.  I mean, just because she doesn't like changing into other humans doesn't mean she is not able.  But, I digress.

I've always hated the Dark Ritual scene. This was brilliant!

I love this short fan-comic about the ritual. Though it makes me wonder where Alistair went to go sleep, as I believe the F!Warden took over his room.

If she didn't, where did SHE sleep. >.> Anyway, great job! Don't mind my imagination.

I've only just finished playing this for the first time and I couldn't agree more on the cut scene. Your version is way better.

I like both Alistair and Morrigan, I have mixed feelings about them together. I always wondered, ' Why couldn't the female Warden just join in?!' lol. That'd solve everyone's problem! XDD
