Alistair Romance

Alistair Romance is the het ship between The Warden and Alistair Therin from the Dragon Age fandom.

Dragon Age 2
As the Qunari sack the city, Hawke encounters a group of Grey Wardens, potentially including a sibling, led by Alistair Therin. Though he wishes to help, Alistair maintains the non-interfering policy of the Wardens. Since he cannot help Hawke directly, he gives Hawke a necklace with special properties. Along with several other factors, his dialogue changes based on the status of the romanced Warden.
 * -|Alistair is a Grey Warden=

If the Warden is alive, he says that the necklace belongs to the "love of his life", but she finds things like it everywhere.

If the Warden died fighting the Archdemon, he still gives the necklace with similar dialogue, his reasoning in this situation being that the Warden doesn't need it anymore.

During his meeting with Hawke and their companions, The Warden isn't brought up in a romantic sense until the end.
 * -|Alistair is King=

If the Warden is Alistair's mistress, Teagan reminds the king that "she" has returned to Denerim from a mission. Depending on whether or not he is married to Anora, he will either remark that the day is looking up or make a comment that no one should alert the queen.

If the Warden is Queen of Fereldan, Alistair says goodbye and jokes that he has to get back to the "old ball and chain". Teagan responds saying the queen dislikes being called that, to which Alistair replies that she doesn't and even though she killed an acrhdemon, he isn't scared by her. Teagan ends the conversation by saying to Alistair that he can keep telling himself that.
