Summary
Solas stood twenty paces away, watching her struggle, with his hands still clasped behind him at the small of his back. He looked exactly as he had before, untouched by the fall, by the grey, by any of it, and—
His hands.
Linked behind him, wrists crossed, chest open. Both predators and prey guarded their bellies, the soft meat of their gut where even the strongest were most vulnerable. He bared his. Solas walked leisurely here, shoulders relaxed, as if this were a pleasant stroll through his garden rather than the aftermath of a would-be divine’s murder, with Eglar’nan still threatening what remained of the world.
Rook falls into the Fade Prison, but all she can fixate on are Solas’s hands.

Summary
It's been a year since Rook saved the world, and in grand Tevinter fashion, a ball is being thrown about it. The plan was to bait any lingering Venatori into revealing themselves—and it worked, if a little too well.
Now violence is raging through the ballroom, Rook is unarmed, and Lucanis has to find someplace safe for them both while blood mages stalk the halls. It's not the reunion he imagined after a month apart, but they'll find some way to make do.
(placed in the series for chronology; can be read as a standalone)

Summary
"Lucanis had told himself that keeping Rook at arm’s length was for her sake. Said it was to protect her from Spite. Maker, he’d been such a fool. Every time, she’d chosen him. And every time, he’d shut the door in her face. Would he ever get another chance to make it right? To choose her the way she’d always chosen him?"
OR
Crows are taught to kill, not to love. But in the quiet spaces between missions, Rook and Lucanis find something they were never trained for, a thread weaving them together in a bond neither can deny. As Spite’s whispers and the world closes in, they must decide whether their connection is a dangerous weakness or the only thing worth fighting for.
Loosely follows in-game events, with original scenes and a telenovela flair.

Summary
“I think it’s too late anyways. I think I’ve already painted you both on my heart. And I’m terrified.”
Dana Laidir has never been one to deny herself the things she wants. Not after going from slavery to servitude to the well-intentioned but overbearing adolescent years in the care of her adoptive aunts and uncles. Not when she’s spent adulthood perfecting how to obtain the things or people she most desires. But what she finds herself wanting the most, who she finds herself wanting, is not so easy to obtain. It’s more than the fleeting lust or desire she’s familiar with, and she knows that should scare her.

Summary
“Go ahead,” she says suddenly, before common sense can get the better of her, “It’s alright.”
“Do you know what I am?” His voice is barely a whisper, cracked open raw with something that neither of them can put to words.
“Lucanis,” she sighs his name out in only mild exasperation, and turns to face him fully. Their knees bump together with how close they're sitting. “After what we’ve been through? I don't care.”

Summary
The Mourn Watch was all Ehren Ingellvar ever knew, from the day they were found in the crypts, to the day they were sent out to 'find themselves' after their controversial triumph at the War of the Banners. Even after, during their hunt for Solas, they only scantly heard of other factions.
That is, until they needed to hire a Crow to help save the world.
Then, their cold dead heart somehow ended up in the clutches of the Antivan Crow's most infamous mage killer, supposedly thought dead for a little over a year. How fitting for a Nevarran Necromancer.Little did Ingellvar know that not only would they find themselves balancing on a razor's edge in matters of life and love trying to find and kill their targets, but Ehren might find a little something more about themselves, but at what cost?

Summary
Join me as I go a little feral making stuff up about Antivan Crows and our favorite throuple-before-they-were-three.
Because — explicitly: f—# the canon backstory for Crow!Rook and Lucanis. This Rook and Lucanis have got history. Decades of it. (And y’all: the pining has been mutual. For decades.)
She’d been weeks gone from their little assassins’ nest by this time last year and though he’d somehow known she’d never return the moment he saw the scattered chess pieces… he’d still waited there the night of her birthday, with a book on wyverns as a gift and a canister of hot chocolate.
(He’d left both book and canister behind, never returning again to confirm their receipt — he’s too afraid to see these things covered in the dust of Rook’s indifference.)
(And he is realizing: his thirteenth birthday will be even lonelier than his twelfth.)

Summary
“If you want me to go, I will go. Conversation, done. Whatever this is, over.” Rook’s voice is soft enough that he has to strain to hear it. “Tell me to leave.”
Emmrich trusts her to lead: in battle, in planning, and in this.
He says nothing, and Rook kisses him.
Or, a planned conversation before killing a god goes a little differently than Emmrich had anticipated.

Summary
After an unusual start to their relationship, Emmrich fully throws himself into courting Rook...without realizing that Rook is already completely smitten.
---
"The Antaam Quanari should really stop trying to set Rook on fire. Emmrich had her close to spontaneous combustion all on his own.
It’d be one thing if it’d been on account of having sex in every coat closet and horizontal surface in Thedas. But no, the truth was a hundred times more humiliating: they’d only kissed, soft and sweet and often, while Rook fought not to burst into flames. Emmrich was courting her, slow and deliberate, so charming that Rook felt half an inch from silly giggling whenever she was around him. By this point, when he leveled his suave smile at someone else, Rook’s heart still fluttered helplessly."

Heavy is the weight on Viago's shoulders as he tries to navigate Treviso under occupation; the recent dragon attack only added more stress. Thankfully (for Viago, annoyingly) Rook has a solution that involves plenty of Lavender oil.
