    Summary

    When you clip a bird's wings, you're forcing it into compliance. Not all birds come quietly.

    She wasn't always Juno De Riva, she had a different name altogether when she was still with her mother and father. Things change, and sometimes people don't come back when you expect them to. What else can a caged bird do, but sing?

    Joining the flock would not be a simple task, but it's what she needed to do to survive. If the Fifth Talon found no use for Juno, she had no doubt he would cast her out onto the street, or worse.

    When Matteo De Riva suggests Juno aim higher, to try to marry the heir apparent to the First Talon house, would she be able to use her skills to catch his eye?

    Or would she remain a caged bird forever?

    Summary

    Lucanis wanted one thing out of life, and that was to make good coffee. Unfortunately, the circumstances of his birth demanded that he kill people for money.
    Rook was in love with the baristo at Cafe Pietra. Unfortunately, she didn't even know his name.
    ...
    Set mainly in Treviso, Rook is a college student with a crush on the local baristo at her favorite cafe. Little does she know, he's actually a master assassin--one who might just be able to help her prevent the university from shutting down the exchange program that keeps her from being sent back to Minrathous.
    (Alternative plotline, kind of a coffee shop AU that plays with elements of canon later on.)

    Summary

    "Under sober circumstances Rook would have keenly dodged the question or made up someone none of them had met. She would have spun a tale about a shadowy man with an equally mysterious background to keep them baited. Something Bellara could write about in one of her stories and she’d never reveal the truth - like any well trained Crow would. A well trained Crow would also not have allowed themselves to become as inebriated as she was in this moment either. Yet, here she was, staring down the smoking barrel of a primed weapon and she was about to pull the trigger."

    Summary

    Looking for a Lucanis fic with WAY more longing and tension and payoff than the game gave us?

    Lucanis never forgot the beautiful woman he saw with Illario on the night that turned his world upside down, never forgot the inexplicable feeling that their fates were tied up together. When destiny finally brought them together, he found it impossible to escape the unfamiliar feelings she inspired in him... and in Spite. It felt impossible that someone who had once fallen for his charming cousin could ever be interested in him, broken as he was.

    Aurelia always knew she'd meet the Demon of Vyrantium, knew there was some sort of string tying them to each other, even after his cousin dashed her hopes and led to her getting sent away from Antiva. When her quest to save the world brought him to her, she knew that all her former interest in his cousin was a shadow compared to what she was capable of feeling. But would his loyalty to his family make it impossible for him to ever care for her in return?

    This will be a slow burn, angsty romance with fluff and all the longing and "almosts" your heart could wish for. Some added context: Rook has dated Illario in the past, and Spite has feelings for Rook too.

    Summary

    “When’s the ball?” Rook asks with a sigh. Lucanis’s smile tells her he took the question as an agreement.

    “One week from today,” he says. That leaves seven days for him to teach her how to act like a Crow. Seven days for her to strengthen his resistance to blood magic. Seven days to get a grip on her emotions and not let slip the one secret she holds closest to her heart.

    ---

    Illario's throwing a masquerade ball to crown himself First Talon, so Lucanis and Rook do the only logical thing: sneak in as a Crow couple to save Caterina. It's a fool-proof plan with only three issues: Rook's not a Crow, Lucanis is susceptible to Illario's control, and they're not a couple.

    Summary

    "Lucanis Dellamorte,” he said with a casual air about him. Like he wasn’t the man who had fucked her senseless on the docks nearly a year ago. His eyes lingered on her for a fraction of a second, just long enough to twist her stomach into knots. But then, his gaze shifted to Neve with a charmingly cool effect.

    For a moment, Rook wondered if he truly didn’t recognize her. There wasn’t even a flicker of familiarity in his face, only that guarded and smooth allure that made her bite her lip. She tried to shake off the pang of disappointment, forcing herself to focus on the mission, but damn, it stung. He doesn’t remember. And it’s better that way, she told herself, trying to smother the rush of excitement she had felt upon seeing him.

    Sequel to my one-shot Mierda

    Summary

    He came to know her in the big moments: how she knew that Illario was always to blame, how she leads with honesty even when the truth is difficult to hear, and even how she sees him despite Spite.

    But he falls in love with her in the little moments: the way she she can always make him smile, the time they spend just sitting together and read, and how always she waits so patiently for him.
    There is no expectation, no standard, no demand—just her smile, a cup of cioccolada calda, and an invitation to stay.

    Summary

    "When I was afraid to want you..."

    Ah, yes, and when was that, exactly? Because — as many before me have noticed, and many after me will likely continue to notice for years to come — the middle of the story is simply... missing.

    So here's a scene that could have been.

    Takes place near the end of Act II. Mild spoilers up to and including the end of Lucanis' personal quest line — "A Murder of Crows" — and some field banter; no late-game or end-game spoilers (i.e. nothing after "When Plans Align").

    ----------------

    Spite is a wonderful motivator.

    Summary

    Rook has never had a serious relationship. Ever. And as a Mourn Watcher she vastly prefers the company of wisps and dead people to the living. But as the stress of fighting two Gods who are now destroying the mortal plane begins to catch up with her, one of her companions offers to help her take the edge off. And she finds herself in a friends-with-benefits relationship with Lucanis. She quickly realizes that she is catching feelings but doesn't know what that means for them when they are running on such borrowed time.

    Lucanis has never met someone like Rook. He owes her for saving him from his own personal hell in the Ossuary. But he finds that her presence does something else for him. It quells Spite. Quells so much of his internal anguish. Suddenly he finds himself seeking her out like a drug. He's not sure if that's fair for him to get addicted to her when so much rides on her in the face of the world ending. But damn him if he's not going to ride it out.

    A female mage Mourn Watcher Rook / Lucanis story spanning the events of Dragon Age Veilguard. It will be mostly canon compliant but will add a good amount of spice and yearning to the relationship.

    Summary

    “I believe this house is technically mine, Caterina,” Lucanis said, leaning in for a kiss on her cheek.

    “Not until you stop running around Thedas playing hero,” she replied, her expression pinched with discontent. Then she turned to Rook. “Rook. Last time you ignored my instructions, added your own, and seduced my grandson. This time, you appear to have forgotten your shirt.”

    Lucanis takes Rook to the Opera, and things do not go according to plan. Unless they do.

    Summary

    This is a Lucanis/Rook/Spite ship Fic. Follows the events of Dragon Age Veilgaurd, starting from the Ossuary with Lucanis’ POV. He is slow to come into his feelings for Riya “Rook” de Riva. On the other hand Riya is intrigued from the start. And don’t forget Spite, he ships these two Crows right away.
    This fic jumps around a bit, focusing on the parts with Riya, Lucanis, and Spite. I do this to rewrite the romance to involve more Spite. It follows the story fairly closely adding only a few bits here and there until Riya helps Spite in the Fade. Then I establish their relationship so it is all set up for my afterwards fic.

    Summary

    14 years ago.

    Tired and annoyed, Lucanis Dellamorte hardly expected that his peace would be disturbed by a sixteen-year-old crow who entered his chambers with the purpose of theft. Daring, dexterous and extremely witty, she turned this night upside down, leaving an indelible mark in his memory.

    Then he saw in her only a young thief. But who could have guessed that she would one day become the heroine who changed the fate of Thedas?

    Summary

    Rook had been little more than a fledgling when Lucanis had last seen her, several years before he was sent to the Ossuary. Though he may have occasionally seen her around the Cantori Diamond he knew little of her other than she was the Fifth Talon’s younger half sister. He was more than surprised when she and Neve had turned up to assist him in a prison break. The more time he had spent with her, the more she continued to surprise him. And now months later he often found his thoughts drifting to her, even as he sat alone on his cot in the pantry.

    ~

    A re-telling/writing of events from The Veilguard following the budding romance of the famed mage-killer and Demon of Vyrantium, Lucanis Dellamorte and Amelie de Riva, a formerly disgraced Crow and Thedas' newest reluctant leader and hero.

    MASSIVE SPOILERS for The Veilguard as a whole, particularly Lucanis' quest, backstory and romance. The story will be focusing on events from the game including companion, side, and faction quests.
