    Summary

    Rook is more patient than he deserves.

    It was difficult to touch her, at first; he would reach out, fingertips on skin, and his mind would go red and cold. Bloody hands, murderer’s hands, all they did was kill, like a reflex—not her. Not her. More than once, he tried to kiss her, only to be swallowed by shaking fear. More than once, he came back to himself with Spite in control, slowing his breath, keeping his knees from buckling.

    Or: Lucanis was at Zara Renata’s mercy for a year. That sort of thing will leave a man with scars.

    Summary

    Treviso is under foreign occupation, and Caterina Dellamorte is dead. There is a shadow in the Crow’s heart, grief and fury drowned in disappointment. He gathers up these feelings and, as he did every day for a year at the bottom of the sea, ignores them.

    Or: Lucanis and his demon. Missing scenes, expanded perspectives, and a bit of a rewrite.

    Summary

    The body shifts on the cot, and a wordless sound escapes on a sigh. There is a sense of heat and—anticipation, like the moment before steel rings on steel. Then, a bolt of pleasure in the gut. Spite knows of nothing in their material vicinity which might have caused such a sensation, but nightmares can conjure the physical reflection of fear, can they not? Surely, then, this is the pleasure of a dream. But it is no kind of pleasure Spite has felt in his time as Lucanis’s passenger.

    OR: Spite discovers wet dreams and becomes a menace. Lucanite with Rookanite in chapter 2.

    Summary

    Anders' love life has been a mess ever since he moved to Kirkwall, but surely bringing a fake boyfriend to his ex's wedding can't make it worse.

    Summary

    Lucanis has never been a deep sleeper. One cannot be, in his line of work, and Spite’s initial hostility and escape attempts only worsened what was already a fitful habit. But then, he and Spite formed their alliance. But then, he and Rook grew close. But then, they all killed a god or two together, and Treviso needed rebuilding, and Rook developed a tendency to appear through the Diamond’s Eluvian for a late supper at Villa Dellamorte. The days were long, and Rook’s visits were joyous, and he slept.

    Or: “They could do anything to my unconscious body (but I know with absolute confidence that they won’t hurt me)” is a pretty intense idea for a guy who survives through hypervigilance.
