  Summary

  Josephine and the Inquisitor, mad crushing. super slow burn.
  Josephine has everything under control, except this mad crush on the Inquisitor, and it's seriously throwing her off her game, so she hides it like only the Ambassador can. The Inquisitor has this mad crush on Josephine and pretty much everyone but Josephine knows it, because she's too busy trying to keep her own crush under control.

  Originally an exercise to explore Josephine's character - I felt like she's such a badass woman in the rest of her life that the depiction of her in-game, specifically pertaining to the duel/post-duel scenes, felt out of character and/or not fleshed out well. Personally, I felt like the dialogue options were both just as likely to lead to the break up ire. I didn't go AU and rewrite the scene, but i did try to self correct by writing some post-duel, couch-snuggling continuation. Then I went back to see if I could fill in what such a self-actualized woman's inner dialogue would be if she found herself crushing this hard on anyone. I eventually had to define the Inquisitor, and this is what came out.
