Summary
Ten years ago, Ivy “Rook” Ingellvar broke the one rule her parents had: she entered The Shrouded Halls.
Deep within she discovered a skeleton possessed by a spirit of curiosity. Believing it abandoned, she rescued it from the grasp of a Lich and brought it home. Ever since that night, The Grand Necropolis has been plagued with earthquakes and shadows always seem to linger where they shouldn’t.The dead are restless.
(A Labyrinth retelling in the Dragon Age universe.)

Summary
Emmrich stood at the podium bathed in a golden wash of stage lights, guiding the MournWatch Symphony Orchestra into the first measures of Daphnis et Chloé. The small green skull that crowned his baton caught the light as it carved arcs through the air. At his signal the strings entered, and Emmrich’s mouth softened into a smile as he coax sound from silence.

Summary
For decades Emmrich Volkarin had been the gold standard of what an alpha should be, composed in the face of instinct, unshakable under pressure. Across all four major universities in Thedas, he was one of only three alphas permitted to hold full tenure. Trusted to lecture in rooms thick with scent, to remain unmoved through every stage of designation flux. He had built a reputation on control.
He had even written the definitive text on the subject. Instinct and Intellect: Navigating Designation with Dignity. It was still used in half of the academic circles from Starkhaven to the Free Marches.So why, at his age, with all his accolades and experience, was this becoming so Maker-forsaken difficult?

Summary
Rook had lived a peaceful, relatively secluded life in the Grand Necropolis. It had been that way for years, long enough that she thought she'd finally found her purpose. But good things never last, do they? Somewhere along a series of never-ending missteps, she found herself in charge of a team tasked with taking down two escaped elven gods.
For someone who claimed to not believe in fate, there were entirely too many things that had to go wrong in order to bring her face-to-face with the man who would end up changing her life. With the help of Lucanis and the spirit possessing him, the mysteries of her past start fitting together. But sometimes remembering hurts worse than the unanswered questions ever did.
--------
AKA I created a head-canon for this Rook that consumed my thoughts, so I started writing it out, and then it kept changing and evolving, eventually turning into a novel length fic. Follows a handful of key in-game events, but focuses on lots of additional "in-between" interactions that better develop the relationship between Rook and Lucanis. (Expect slight canon divergences) -

Summary
She saved the world. Now, she must save herself from the fallout.
Moira Ingellvar was the hero of Thedas, The Leader of the Veilguard, slayer of gods, and survivor of the Fade. But six months after the final battle, she has become a ghost in her own skin: haunted, unraveling, and buried beneath the weight of public appearances, expectations, and the uneasiness of being seen. Everyone wants something from her - Divine Victoria, Archon Pavus, even old friends who remember who she used to be. But Moira isn't sure that woman survived the war.
Thedas hums with expectations. They ask for speeches. Guidance. Hope. A Symbol of the future. But Moira has none left to give.
Haunted by memories and silenced by grief, she retreats from the world that has put her on a pedestal - and from the people who love her. Even Emmrich, her partner and anchor, cannot always reach through the fog of her pain.
And yet, the healing must start somewhere. In ash-streaked letters and half-finished tea. In ghost light rituals and whispered apologies. In the sacred act of choosing to stay when all she wants to do is run.
