    Summary

    Rook was far from a saint given her profession as a Crow, but with the gods dead and some semblance of peace giving way to the more typical day to day strife, Xan de Riva worries that she's losing Neve one piece at a time to the Threads. Meanwhile, Neve has been mourning the pieces of herself lost long before a life of organized crime; the parts that died under the fires of a blighted dragon.

    Summary

    This was the first time in weeks they’d been alone, and a familiar ache crept into Neve’s heart. The urge to word vomit every question she wanted to ask raged to the surface. How are you? Have you been taking care of yourself? Are you as torn up about this as I am? Do you miss me?


    Neve pushes Rook away, but does she honestly expect her to stand idly by?

    Summary

    Every night when she sleeps, Mother Superior Shadowheart is taken back to various moments in her past as a tadpoled adventurer. The flashbacks are quickly proven to be more than dreams, as she discovers whatever she does in the past changes the events of her present.

    ––––––––––

    Shadowheart scours the beach for the familiar beaten barrel. She confidently plucks a set of rusted lockpicks, exactly where she knew they would be.

    Cypress watches her curiously. "How did you know those were there?"
    "Divine intuition," she deadpans.
    "Blessed by the god of happenstance?"
    "What do you–oh, right. I worship Shar. You don't care."
    Cypress blinks at the apathy. "I mean you're right, I don't, but...?"

    Summary

    Rook, a former Shadow Dragon and skilled spellblade mage, has made her fair share of dangerous decisions. Now, with Solas trapped in her head and a dark blight spreading through Thedas, Rook is pulled into a new purpose: leading the Veilguard to stop the ancient elven gods, Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain, from wreaking havoc. Recruited by Varric after her fallout with the Shadow Dragons, Rook must navigate a crumbling world, conspiracies, and her complicated past in Minrathous.

    But she isn't alone. By her side is Neve Gallus, the sharp-eyed detective of Dock Town, whose quiet strength and brilliance draw Rook in even when she knows she shouldn't fall at a time like this. As they fight to stop the madness, their partnership becomes something more—a slow burn that ignites in the quiet moments between battles and desperate escapes.

    Can Rook save Thedas and the people she loves without losing herself? And will she find love, even in the heart of the Blight?

    Summary

    “You’ll take all I have to give, won’t you?” Neve’s breath was caught in her throat, her voice barely above a whisper. When Rook nodded, her lips parting, Neve let her fingers trail in, gliding across Rook’s eager tongue. She knew Rook would take it, bad moods and late nights, fingers and tongue, heart and soul—she’ll take it all. And Neve was afraid of how willing, eager, even, she was to give it all.

    Rook gets injured, Neve gets worried and they both get some.

    Post Siege of Weisshaupt & Cobbled Swan Case (Spoilers Thru Act 3)
    --
    Weisshaupt was bad. Neve is just waiting for the other shoe to drop. It felt like everyone was just fighting trying to keep their heads above water.
    Still, Neve had been impressed with how well Rook seemed to be holding herself together. Weisshaupt had been a hard mission, and Neve had been waiting to see if, or rather when Rook was going to finally crack.
    --
    Neve's watching Rook after Weisshaupt. And then picking up the pieces after.

    Summary

    The most interesting cases always come from unknown numbers, this is just a fact of solving crime in Dock Town. Unfortunately for Neve Gallus, Tarquin and Ashur fully took advantage of that fact to set her up on a blind text conversation with someone they think may be good for her. The catch? No asking personal questions - no asking for name, gender, hair color, build, anything that could identify Neve's Unknown. The goal? Get the detective a partner in crime (solving).

    Between solving her Unknown case and the one Varric Tethras brought her, Neve's booked and busy. But not so distracted that she doesn't notice the former Dragon that Varric brought with him.

    Modern AU with magic. Rated for eventual filth.

    Summary

    "I'll stop soon, I promise."

    "No."

    "No?"

    Vic picks up a random note, puts it on top of the page in Neve’s notebook as a makeshift bookmark. Then, very deliberately and with barely disguised annoyance, slams Neve’s notebook shut. And then puts her hand on it, leaning forward and putting her body weight on it. “No.”

    Neve needs to take a break from looking over her most recent case files, and Victoria Mercar's not going to let her return to work. Even if she needs to distract Neve with something else.

    This is pure filth, please read the tags.

    Summary

    Shadowheart wasn’t afraid of a little pleasure of the flesh, despite the displeasure of her Lady of Loss. Sometimes she just wants someone to fill the hollow space in her chest, and she finds it in Vel, even if just for a night.

    But when she discovers Vel is loyal to Selûne, the sister and rival of Shar, a tide is set in motion that she is helpless to stop. Her hatred breeds an obsession, and that obsession causes them to make a careless mistake.

    She finds herself more entangled than she ever wanted to be with the Selûnite, and she insists nothing will come of it. Nothing can come of it.

    Love has no place between light and dark.
