    Summary

    V found herself on the roof, with Johnny sitting by her side. Their gaze was fixated on the luminescent glow of the Secure Your Soul advertisement in the towering building before them.

    "So, what will it be?" Johnny's voice broke the silence. After everything they went through, V was able to notice the small jitters of anxiousness as he waited for her decision.

    But V doesn't remember the answer she gave. Instead, she found herself jolted awake in her former apartemnt - her very old apartment, one she had while working for Arasaka's counterintelligence.

    Was it all just a dream? A warning? An opportunity?

    or

    It's sort of "time-travel" I guess (??). I wanted to play with the idea of fixing shit to get a happier ending for our V.

    Summary

    Lucanis Dellamorte, the Demon of Vyrantium, isn't perfect, despite what others may think. Neither is Rook, and they're both smitten without admitting they're smitten. Spite, however, knows and accepts this, and keeps pushing Lucanis to the edge, begging him to unleash his inner demon. Lucanis isn't quite willing... yet.

    Rook is merely trying to juggle a million responsibilities thrust onto her, but keeps finding herself distracted by the brooding Antivan Assassin, and his obsessive demon, Spite.

    With the elven gods on the rise and disaster appearing left and right, they slowly start to discover who they are, and what they mean to each other. This is a story meant to fill in the gaps for Lucanis (and other companions) that we, as players, did not get to see.

    Summary

    “You know, my room has good choke points too.”

    Born to renowned assassins, Fiammetta De Riva, the Little Flame of Treviso, hasn’t known home in a very long time. What she does have, is a tarnished reputation amongst the Antivan Crows, a fractured relationship with her cousin Viago, and a complicated relationship with House Dellamorte.

    OR

    Rook fucked up at work and landed in trouble with her big cousin, is tasked to save the world by adopted father figure Varric Tethras, and accidentally catches feelings for old acquaintance-turned-abomination, Lucanis Dellamorte. Also, here’s jealous wreck Illario Dellamorte, who is pissed off about all of it.

    Summary

    Lucanis’s eyes slid over the corpses with an outward coolness, but the way his fists clenched and how his jaw ground betrayed the fury curdled inside him. “Very few survive Calivan’s ‘rehabilitation.’”
    “You did,” Rook answered gently, though her gaze had already snagged on the central table. A sound – a rasping, fragile moan – came from the figure chained there.
    The elf before her barely resembled one. His face was a swollen ruin, blood and grime matting what remained of his hair. Both ears had been crudely clipped down to rounded nubs, skin around them raw and jagged. His vallaslin tattoos had been flayed away, carved from his flesh with such deliberate cruelty that only scar tissue remained. His ribs jutted sharp through torn skin, chest heaving with the shallow panic of breath. Shackles bent his arms backward at an angle meant to break joints. His legs ended in blackened stumps at the knees, cauterized in ugly burns.

    This is a rewrite (kinda) of Veilguard with added scenes and more NPC interactions as well as a deeper look into Lucanis, Rook, and Spite's relationship (I've updated the first few chapters)

    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.
