    Summary

    A collection of letters, notes, and half-finished thoughts addressed to Rook de Riva — some never meant to be read, others aching to be understood. Between the lines, a story unfolds: of bonds forged in silence and of memories too sharp to forget.

    Summary

    My fall will be for you,
    My love will be in you,
    If you be the one to cut me,
    I'll bleed forever.

    Summary

    Lucanis does feel guilty, sometimes. Spite can smell, taste, hear. See clearly, once Lucanis got out of the way. To feel, though… it just doesn't seem to come across the same. Maybe that's what happens, when you get forced into a mind actively pulling as far away from the body it's inhabiting as hard as it possibly can. Or maybe it's just a spirit thing. That's a preferable thought. Less likely—but preferable.

    Spite, at least, doesn't seem too bothered by it. And it has been a somewhat convenient misalignment, occasionally. In a fight, unbothered by an injury. At the end of a particularly long day, easing protesting muscles and joints into a tub of ice water without worrying about objection. And with sex. Convenient, that Spite finds it puzzling and pointless, at best. Boring, usually.

    The problem, of course, is Rook. Spite might find sex odd and uninteresting, but Rook? He's turned towards her like the sun from the first moment.

    So, really—Lucanis should have seen this coming.

    Summary

    Welcome Da'lens. This is my first ever fan fic. It is set during the events of Inquisition and I have inputted events into it that I basically head cannon. It starts after the events of Here lies the Abyss. Solas has already said that he loves her on the balcony, so it starts a few nights after that. Her name is Ellana, as I always went with the default name, as I thought it was beautiful. I have kept the appearance of her blank, including her Vallaslin. This is so you can picture your own Lavellan as you read it, if you wish to. But If you do want to know what my Ellana looks like to picture mine instead, she's in all my edits on my TikTok. But I'll link her image at the bottom of chapter one. Clan Lavellan is also a dominant part of this fic, as I feel they deserve more attention and I wanted to bring them all to life, including the war table missions. This story goes right through to Trespasser events, and then follows on after. And I will eventually start a second fic set during the events of Veilguard, but with narrative changed. You will also notice my writing improves vastly as chapters go on, the chapters also get longer too.

    Summary

    “How does it feel?”

    “How does what feel?”

    “Being in his shadow.”

    ---

    When you’ve lived through the end of the world, how do you move on?

    For Rook de Riva, there was never supposed to be an ‘after' to this job. For twenty-two years, Rook was an Antivan Crow by circumstance, not by choice. When returning to the Crows having experienced another life proves a bitter pill to swallow, Rook is forced to reckon with the scars of her past long ignored. While walking away from certain death with her love at her side was an unexpected happy ending, the realities of a life with the First Talon of the Antivan Crows claws at old wounds better left untouched, and Lucanis Dellamorte is not without demons of his own.

    When Tevinter's new Archon seeks out the Crows to eliminate the remaining Venatori, Rook is quick to jump at the contract, even as it claws at the darkest parts of her past. But there’s a thin line between dedication and obsession, and some truths can't stay buried forever.
