    Summary

    "Because it won't heal right." She sighs, "It'll get stuck in my hair, and then you'll have a weird scar."

    "If you say so, Beata." The way he draws out her name always sends a thrill up her spine.

    "I do. Now be quiet," she grumbles, "You're distracting."

    Summary

    “I mean, people know lullabies, I suppose. But that one…it’s not quite Mary Had a Little Nug, is it? It’s…a Nevarran song. For Nevarran babies.”
    “Which mine would have been,” Emmrich whispered. “Had I had them.”

    Emmrich shares secrets; Rook indulges a fantasy.

    Summary

    All things considered, Rook doesn’t think anyone should be looking to her for wisdom or guidance. She’s never made herself out to be a paragon of sound morality or ethical values, and she is caving under the pressure of the world, piece by fractured piece.

    So, she takes the Dread Wolf’s hand when he offers it, and she lets him show her the beauty of the Elven Empire.

    or

    Wild magic sends Rook back to ancient Arlathan for a night. And she is a trainwreck, so she spends that night with Solas, of course. It makes everything worse.

    Summary

    “It is ridiculous. Any sane person would hate him—declare him an enemy, or brand him an irredeemable villain. It would be simpler, too, to let him push her away, to let his bitterness and anger snuff out her sympathy. To give up.

    Rook exhales, long and slow. No. It wouldn’t be easier—not for her. She never did know when to quit.

    Her heart has already decided for her.

    She is going to save the Dread Wolf. Whether he likes it or not.”

    Or: Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but make it Dreadrook, add a heavy dose of slow burn, and dial up the angst.
