    Summary

    Two decades ago, the Blight was ended by a legend. Now, as the Veil shatters once more, the Hero of Ferelden returns to a world that has forgotten the true cost of salvation.

    While the people look to Marcius—the man they call Rook—as their new lighthouse, those closest to the Amell bloodline begin to feel the chill of a gathering storm. Behind the masks of divinity and the desperate decrees of the Chantry, secrets are festering. Memories have been stolen, old alliances have turned into cages, and the weight of a forced peace is beginning to crush the very people it was meant to protect.

    In a game played by gods and monsters, Emmrich Volkarin struggles to find the woman he loves beneath the shadow of a growing ambition. But some burdens are too heavy for any mortal to carry, and when the price of victory becomes higher than the soul can pay, the only way to win is to break the world entirely.

    Summary

    Thedas has had many mighty heroes: brave noble warriors, tenacious mages daring the Fade, quick-witted rogues evading danger. These are the people who become legends.

    This story is about someone else entirely — an elf from the alienage, the sole survivor of the Conclave, who really misses his Ma.

    The story of someone who despite being a Herald, has no idea what the word means.

    Summary

    Hail the day, so long expected, when the gates are opened wide! Praise to the Allfather, to the Creators of the world! Swell the sound of joyous laughter, and hear their immortal voices roar!

    The Evanuris stalk the land, released from their prison, all of them hale and whole and entirely free. Though trapped for an age, they escaped the Wolf's jaws.

    Zalan Aldwir saves Varric's life, and Solas does not fall into his own trap (this time). There shall be a reckoning to shake the very heavens.

    Updating as often as muses and meatsuit permit.

    Summary

    After losing contact with the team Rook lead to follow Magister Alexius into the south. Neve sets out to track down and possibly rescue her partner. Neve just wants to find Rook she did not sign up to be a religious figure, but when has the world ever cared what Neve wanted.

    This not time travel it’s a massive au where Rook completed all of the companion quests pre-canon, and also got exiled from every faction mostly for the canon reasons.

    I’ll probably make a separate fic that just summarizes Rook’s lore.

    This is my first fic constructive criticism is appreciated but please be nice.

    Summary

    Dawes 'Rook' Mercar has long accepted that his life would be a grueling and bloody-knuckled fistfight. He dreams of a new Imperium, of slavery abolished, of the Venatori eradicated; but his blind vengeance for the murder of his mother muddies the waters of his intentions.

    A chance meeting six months ago delivered him Scout Lace Harding, and impossibly, a reminder that goodness can still be found in some hearts. While he works through the brambles of his own mind, he asks her, selfishly, to wait for him.

    In the throes of the Sixth Blight, his traitorous heart has other plans.

    Summary

    Varric Tethras found an outsider with a resume that might make the Dread Wolf listen, before Thedas pays for his choices. Again. This Rook is no mage, no Dalish, and no one’s idea of a savior.

    A slow burn romance that asks if one person can truly save a world.

    Multi-fandom crossover elements, but familiarity isn’t required. Setting is Dragon Age, Thedas.

     

    78 chapters, complete. I’ve gone through so many drafts over the last 16 months I can recite whole sections.

    Summary

    This is a sort of retelling of the events of DAI with a focus on the Lavellan/Solas relationship. I aim to fill in some of the gaps, stuff that happened off screen, alluded at or mentioned. Or things I wish were shown. Example: by the time of Halamshiral, Solas casually touches Lavellan's back, both acting with a sense of familiarity. Implying, by then, their relationship has advanced to a place they are comfortable with casual touches. I want to explore these in between bits that got us there.

    My story starts 3 weeks before the events of the Conclave and I intend to take it further after canon. (Post-Trespasser, possibly Veilguard) Canon Divergence will happen at some point. But I will do my best to keep canon compliant with most things until then. Even after, I will strive to be canon compliant with the lore, established characters and places. There will be a lot of Dalish and Elvhen stuff. And OC’s for Dalish clan members.

    This will be in alternating POVs from Lavellan and Solas. Possibly others if necessary.

    Summary

    “What would Varric say if you did complain?”

    Lilya pitched her voice low and put on a poor Kirkwall accent. “’No one wants this job, kid, but you’ve got it. Use what you’ve got: the team, their connections, and your skills. You don’t know when to quit, so keep going.’”

    Lucanis allowed himself a quiet chuckle at her weak impression but nodded. “It’s good advice, save one thing.”

    “What’s that?”

    “If you don’t know when to quit, perhaps you need someone to tell you when it’s alright to stop.”

    “But—”

    “You’re no good to anyone if you push so hard you break.”

    Summary

    Rook and Emmrich are having thoughts about the Lichdom conversation that comes up in Arrangements, and neither is doing very well. Manfred just wants their two favourite people to be happy. Sadly, it doesn't go as well as they hoped.

    Or hey, let's see if Red can just be really fucking depressing via the medium of adorable skeleton son.

    Sorry guys, gals and non-binary pals. I'd say I won't do it again but I'd be lying

    Summary

    No longer the Inquisitor, now a member of the Veilguard, Ellana finally locates Solas taking down the Veil. In a change of fate, instead of Varric, Ellana is stabbed in the disrupted ritual. Solas manages to save her life, but this forms a blood bond between the estranged couple.

    Now a heart broken former inquisitor and the Dread Wolf must learn to work together to stop the escaped gods.

    “If you want me to say that I'm sorry for stopping your ritual, that is never going to happen. What I can apologize for is not doing it sooner.” Ellana said. “You are hardly blameless.”

    Solas's face was pale, his eyes dark. “I am well aware of my role in recent events. I continue to seek a way to fix what has been broken. And you are not as unwilling to accept my help as you would desire me to think.”

    Ellana flushed at his choice of words and from his amused expression she knew that he had intended just such a reaction. What game was he playing?

    As if reading her mind Solas asked, “Why does Varric call you Rook?”

    Cole answered, “He calls her that as a reminder.”

    “A reminder? Of what exactly?” Solas asked.

    Ellana explained simply. “That I'm nobody's pawn.”

    Summary

    Bronwyn "Rook" Mercar is no stranger to loss. She would not lose Lucanis too. Not to the gods, not to his bastard cousin, and not to his own personal demons.

    Summary

    Rook helped Lucanis break his curse and find his way home. Happily Ever After?
    Not quite yet.
    Because Rook has a prophecy of her own to deal with, and then there's that surprise betrothal to resolve - to make sure Lucanis marries the right princess.
    They will need to travel to Quarinus, to confront Rook's parents with the conses of their quences and unravel the mystery that binds the royal family to their land.

    And maybe, just maybe, find a solution to the Illario issue while they're at it.

    This a sequel to A Beginner's Guide to Breaking Curses, and I'm not saying it can't stand on it's own legs, but I'm pretty sure it will work better if you've read the first 'book'.

    Summary

    Lucanis Dellamorte didn't survive a year in the Ossuary and get saddled with an irritating demon, just to be put on a Venatori ship headed for an execution. There had to be a way out. There was always a way out.

    This time, the way out came in the form of a wild, impulsive thunderstorm who called himself Rook. An out-of-control apostate from the Lords of Fortune, who had blown a cultist to bits with little more than a gesture right in front of Lucanis. During what was supposed to be his daring escape.

    To close the impossible distance between himself and home, Lucanis decided to do the only thing he could do: team up with this Rivaini elf armed with more secrets than an Orlesian bard and a stare that made him weak in the knees.

    How do you keep up with lightning?

    Summary

    A restless Shadow Dragon and a wary tortured Crow navigate friendship, love and freedom in the shadowed chaos of Blighted mage-gods. Or how an elven mage Rook and a mage-killer abomination Lucanis figure out what truly matters as the world ends.

    Filling in the blanks and expanding from canon including much of the darkness and moral complexity the Veilguard dropped, and real found family dynamics. A rewrite that significantly diverges from canon after the Minrathous/Treviso choice.
