Summary
“Yes, Manfred,” says Emmrich. “I think Rook is quite nice.”
He thinks she is young, and that she looks at him like he could save her.
That she is beautiful the way the ocean is beautiful, when viewed from the edge of a sheer, high cliff.

A Day in the Life of a Weisshaupt Warden by teine_mallaichte, winterhartarts, WoundedSoul, zailorofthezea

Summary
When people think of the Warden Order they often think of Blight and battles, of the heroes who have come and gone and the songs sung in their honor. Many a minstrel has played the lute in the halls of kings and spun tales of those who slay the archdemons. Of the great Lyna Mahariel, who gave her life in service of her people and the world. How she bravely struck the beast down and ended the Fifth Blight in a most dramatic fashion. And I should know, for I was there.
Such names are etched in the sands of time, never to be forgotten in this life or the next. They are carved into the very fabric of the Fade, like the scar that once tore the sky asunder.
But rarely do we remember the common folk, the ones who keep things running day to day. But these are their stories, told for your pleasure.- Language:

Summary
A collection of letters sent between Rook and Emmrich in the months between the Evanuris' defeat and her arrival in Nevarra. The distance is difficult, but the letters help. (Other than the fact that Rook has no privacy to speak of and Emmrich is, at times, distractingly open about what he would like to do with her if she wasn't so far away.)

Summary
Emmrich goes missing exactly one month before Archon Dorian Pavus declares an end to slavery in Tevinter and makes it law.
Good thing Rook is there to clean up all of Dorian's messes.
Aka: part 1 of all the ways Rook could have met Emmrich Volkarin, but didn't.

Summary
Emmrich knew that Rook would bring new things into his life, as well as his bed, but there's a mystery to her that he can't quite crack, and he's afraid that if he doesn't figure it out, he'll lose her to his own best intentions.

Summary
Two years after throwing in with a prewar hothead with an axe to grind, Nick Valentine works another routine missing persons—an overbearing father, a resigned mother and a daughter who just can’t take it anymore. Dime a dozen; up until she declares herself a synth, hops on a boat and flees three hundred miles north to Far Harbor, where Fog lays thick and hopes run slim. But between the dogged harbormen, the radioactive death cult, the machine claiming to be his brother, and his own hard-headed partner, something has to give.

The Moments Between by DragonRacer
Fandoms: Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Video Game)
09 Sep 2025

Summary
Rook's life hasn't been an easy one. From surviving under the Qun as a Saarebas to eventually escaping and finding a new purpose with the Grey Wardens, now she's expected to save the world from a pair of ancient elven gods when she can barely keep her own wild magic under control. Guess it's a good thing the team includes a seasoned professor with a gentle touch who might, quite possibly, be the first true connection Rook has ever felt after a lifetime of pain and distrust.
A long-fic re-telling of the events surrounding Dragon Age: The Veilguard. but with major focus on original content involving the moments in between the known story beats. The moments that happen before and after missions and the moments during downtime that forge relationships, that force periods of reflection, that nourish the soul, that cause us to grow, that refill the emotional reserves to press forward, that remind us why - and for whom - we are fighting.

Summary
Nick takes too much damage to keep going like he is, but Nora is still resistant to the idea of an upgrade. What would that mean? What would it change? The answer is everything and nothing, but largely, that something good is allowed to happen once and a while.

Summary
Emmrich, Harding and Lucanis go camping in Ferelden. Unfortunately the Fereldans are not keen on having a necromancer and an abomination in their midst and with a reformed Chantry running things, they might just not get out of this one.
A whumpy, dark, evil little thing, heed the tags.

Weren't we the Salt in the Sea? by BeaBabbling

Summary
Consecutive vignettes showing in-between moments that explore the developing relationship between Emmrich and Rook, linear to the plot of Veilguard.
Emmrich dreams of the sound of his name being called, or the simple knowledge that there is someone who cares for him in the next room. It should be a relief from vivid nightmares of his mortal demise, but it is not. His heart breaks upon awakening.
Because it all dissipates with cruel rapidity when he opens his eyes to the weak light and is again a lonesome speck, sighing stale air in a cavernous hall of countless dead.

Summary
Rook saved the world. That's done. Cross that off the list. No problem.
But living as a normal person? With Emmrich Volkarin? And his kid?
That might be a little harder.

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.

Things I'll Never Say by emirozus
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age (Video Games)
29 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
Varric is not drunk, but he's far past an easy buzz. The alcohol keeps the thoughts he'd rather avoid away and replaces them with the pleasant hum of a packed tavern, the warmth of the drink, and the Chargers' revelry. It makes life simpler. There's just the conversation, the jokes, the bets, the cards. There's no Valammar. No red lyrium. No Bianca or Bartrand or Corypheus to concern himself with.
There's just the drink, the company, and the long legs of the Seeker leaning against the bar.

Not With Every Stranger by LavenderProse

Summary
“I’m not, strictly speaking, looking to be your wife.”
Emmrich again faltered, hands folding in front of himself. He dithered. He searched for words. Well-spoken since childhood, he was quite unused to feeling so wrong-footed. He suspected it was something he would become well acquainted with in the immediate future.
“What,” he said eventually, “are you…looking for?”
“A friend,” Sigrid replied. Again in that simple, earnest and succinct way. “I’d like to be your friend, Emmrich.”
Something in Emmrich’s chest, utterly despite himself, swelled.
“Yes,” he murmured. “I would…like that very much, Sigrid.”
Sigrid smiled and lifted her satchel over her head. “Great. Then let’s get married.”Some years ago, Emmrich Volkarin met his wife, married her, and fell in love with her. In that order.
In 9:50 Dragon, Varric Tethras finds himself in a backwater of Nevarra, where he enlists the help of a secretive necromancer on a rainy night. These two events are not unrelated.
Not even the dead keep their secrets forever.Bookmarked by Ferocious_Notes

“Are you in danger?”
“Yes.”
“We’ve seen what Volkarin does to his victims. Does he have a vendetta against you?”
“No.” Rook wished it were that simple. “He’s in love with me.”

Summary
Three years before Blighted elven gods started stirring up trouble in Thedas, a sexy, swaggering young pirate met an elegant older professor in a tea shop. Things . . . did not go well. But when they meet again with the fate of the world at stake, maybe they'll get a second chance to find out what they could mean to each other.

Summary
“I’m afraid there’s no end to the work, but the purpose of the work is to give answers to the living, and voice to the dead.”
Voice to the dead. Now there’s a thought. Not a pleasant one, per se, but certainly striking. Rook can’t, off the top of her head, remember how many people she’s killed, but she can’t imagine any one of them would have anything nice to say about her.
Lucia "Rook" de Riva kills for a living, and she's got a contract: find the guy who killed Varric Tethras, and kill him right back. Emmrich Volkarin is a medical examiner, and an advocate for the dead. As Rook tries to finish her job, she makes more work for him.
Their paths keep crossing, but sooner or later they're going to collide.

Summary
Rook had made two discoveries, as of late. The first was that she was falling in love with the Lighthouse's resident necromancer.
The second was that Emmrich Volkarin was an absurdly, unfairly pretty crier.
(Five times Emmrich cried beautifully, and one time he ugly sobbed like a normal person.)
