  1. Summary

    Rook has never been the best Antivan Crow, but he's always tried to do his best by the only family he's ever known. Emmrich doesn't have an intimate knowledge of the Crows, but he suspects if they were all like Rook, the organization would have an altogether different reputation.

  2. Summary

    It just so happens that Rook's weak spot is Emmrich Volkarin. His compassion, his gentility, his enthusiasm—how satisfying it is to earn his praise, and how fun it is to tease him.

    It's a reality that Emmrich must continuously contend with. It is a curious fate, indeed, to be so loved by someone like Rook.

  3. Summary

    When Avery's most recent gamble nets him a far greater return than he could have expected, how could he resist taking it even further, regardless of the risks? As with any other compulsion, perfection is a dangerous ideal to follow. Still, as long as Avery has his perfect little doll under his control, his gambler's high won't be fading anytime soon. Your strings lie in his hands alone—your heart, mind, and body his to do with as he pleases.

    And he won't tolerate anyone breaking you under his watch.

    We all know what happens if you fail to meet Avery's rather exacting standards. But what happens if you vastly exceed them?

  4. Summary

    There are various technically small but consequentially big spoilers, as well as a few outright in-your-face ones, in these works, so please don’t read these unless you’ve played through most, if not all, of the Books of Julian’s route! Thank you very much!

    A series featuring the happy and domestic days of neighborhood Doctor Julian and the neigborhood Magician’s Apprentice following the crisis that faced them in The Arcana. It has some unknown amount of parts that are all loosely connected (you can mostly read them out of order or without reading others, though), and take place varying times after the events of the game.

    The Apprentice has no established name in these works, but does use he/him and has a dick. Feel free to imagine whatever you like, however. :^)

    Summary

    What had he said again when he first arrived at the Lighthouse? I must be sure to live up to expectations. Ugh, how embarrassing. He’ll never be invited to thwart another apocalypse at this rate.

    (A vaguely-linear collection of scenes charting Rook and Emmrich's relationship over the course of The Veilguard.)

    Summary

    Rook has buttoned up many shirts in his life, despite the running joke that he doesn't know what a shirt is based on the casual outfit he wore around the Lighthouse. They all work largely the same, button through hole and move to the next one until they are all in place.

    But he has never buttoned up someone else's shirt while they are wearing it.
