Confession: 

I think it’s silly how many people call Varric’s attitude to Anders poor writing. Life isn’t actually a BW game where once you attain a certain amount of friend points, you’re locked in for good. Friendships can and do end abruptly, and it doesn’t mean the other person is terrible for bowing out. Anders left Kirkwall in chaos, possibly sent Hawke back to a life of being on the run, and his actions lead to countless of deaths. It’s perfectly fair for Varric to be upset or resentful towards him.

The sad part about this is that it shows that they don’t get Varric at all.  Varric lies…a lot.  Maybe he is angry with Anders…or maybe he’s doing the best thing he can for a friend by lying his ass off by condemning him in public and supporting him in private.  It would be very much in character for him to be in the background, pulling strings to keep Anders safe.  I’m not disregarding the possibility that he’s angry with Anders.  But I am bringing up the possibility that he could still be his friend and helping him secretly.

I would agree with this take. Varric also insisted for a game and a half that he had no idea where Hawke was anymore or how to contact them, and we all know that was a big fib.
