    Summary

    Lucanis had never been so amused watching someone eat. She paused as she considered every bite, sometimes halving it, like she worried about taking too much though none of her bites could be considered anything but diminutive. She chewed thoroughly, vigorously, always with her fingers pressed to her lips to shield herself. She savored, letting out quiet little sounds of appreciation.

    “Is that thyme?” she asked suddenly.

    “It is.” He was surprised she could detect it. He had used the barest sprinkling, just enough to tame the bitterness of the onions.

    A stirring in the back of his skull, movement from a phantom that had held himself so strangely patient that the absence of him was more jarring than his presence. Cook for her more.

    A spark ignited in his chest, a need.

    --

    Or sometimes a family is a hunger demon suffering from a long bout of humanity, her Dalish daughter, a demon-totting assassin, and the kooky aunts and uncles they've amassed along the way.

    Summary

    Their chemistry had been instantaneous, palpable to the point where even Neve commented that she felt like she was intruding on something after the first time they met. It seemed like a forgone conclusion then, that by their third meeting they found themselves in hidden corridors, entwined in each other. Since then, she made appearances every other night, and the two spent hurried hours forgetting about duty for the first time in a long time

    It was meant to be meaningless, but what happens when it isn't anymore?

    Summary

    Lilya has worked hard to build a life for herself over the last few years, no longer a De Riva. Rook. A free agent, a name all her own.

    So why is it when her past shows up at her bar, beaten, bloody, assuming she will help him...she lets him in?

    "Slow down..." The detective raised her hands, narrowed eyes fixed on his dagger. "We're here to help, Crow."

    She could be taken care of, too, if need be. The mage in front of him was his first priority. Blade pressed to her throat.

    Summary

    The last thing Rook remembers was her fight with Elgar'nan.
    She doesn't know what happened after that, she doesn't know how she ended up ten years in the past with a mark on her hand that should belong to Inquisitor Trevelyan, thrust into a story that does not belong to her. And you know what, she would very much like to find out exactly what happened.

    (Contains massive Veilguard spoilers.)

    Summary

    Stumbling into the now wrecked storage, it finds Spite standing there, blood scattered across the ground with broken glass flickering in the light. Great. Just what it needed. Another change to the program.

    Spite turns around, eyes those once calming, now traumatizing dark color. Some emotion it doesn't have the energy to describe plays across Spite's face as he takes a few steps towards it.

    "Rook? House de Riva?"

    or

    Old magic sends Rook into a time loop. He's been at it too long. Nothing changes, so why would this round be any different? (Lucanis would like a word.)

    Summary

    The ground disappeared from under Rook as Ghilan’nain hung him upside down until their eyes – or what passed as eyes for Ghilan’nain – met.

    “You and your cohort have been a thorn in my side. Killing my beautiful creations, my beloved Razikale. Removing our pawns from the board. And you’re about as miserable to kill as a cockroach – always managing to wriggle your way out of the muck and back into our way. I think it’s time to look at this problem from a different angle. Return to my roots, as it were. Death was never my specialty – but creation?”

    She sighed, a soft and nostalgic moan hummed somewhere beneath it all. Rook’s stomach dropped.

    “Oh, that is where I shine,” Ghilan'nain purred.

    Summary

    DO NOT READ IF U HAVE NOT FINISHED VEILGUARD PLEASE. FIRST CHAPTER IS MAJOR SPOILERS

    ~~~~

    Rook does not know what went wrong. Was it their need to try and talk the one Dread Wolf down? Was it their want to be like heroes of old? They're not sure. But something had gone terribly wrong, and now the anchor that should have been on Alva Lavellan's hand pulsated in their own palm.

    Well... Shit.

    Summary

    A tendency to always think in straight lines. That’s what Varric deemed as a redeeming characteristic for his replacement. Well. It certainly kept Solas on his toes, that much was for certain...

    Plans going wrong seemed to be her strong point. Which is why she shouldn't have been so surprised when she woke up in Haven after stabbing Elgar'nan in the jugular... (Lucanis would have been proud of that shot)

    Summary

    "Rook," he breathed out, barely concealing his surprise. "I—"

    "Don't pull that shit on me," he snapped, and Solas was barely able to keep the amusement off his face. Had Rook been older, the ferocity of his words could have silenced a lesser man; but as he was, barely reaching Solas' chest, his bite lacked any teeth. He was a pup just learning to growl, and still had yet to learn his prey from his predators. "I'm going to kill you. I should have killed you when I had the chance."

    "Not for a lack of tenacity," Solas began, unperturbed, "but I doubt the effectiveness of a butter knife in an assassination attempt, particularly when its wielder can barely reach my throat."

    or: rook and solas time travel to the inquisition-era. everyone wants to know why solas has beef with a 12 year old.

    Summary

    Davrin may not have the patience for The Game or the political intrigue of the Crows - but he could hold court with the best of them. The easy way he relaxed into a chair, all casual masculine authority despite the delicate crystal glass between his calloused fingers - it was intoxicating in the best way. Lucanis often delighted in showing off his shiny collections, and his pair of Wardens were the shiniest.

     

    Davrin surprises Lucanis by coming home early.
