Summary
I wrote this piece in response to the prompt, “Do you mind staying? Just for the night.”
Neve Gallus is looking for a drinking buddy who will help stop her before she embarrasses herself at the bar. Franziska Ingellvar seemed like a reliable option.
This is set within my Legacy Unmourned storyline, about a necromancer who joins the Veilguard after discovering that Emmrich is her estranged father. Basically, Fran is in lesbians with Neve, especially the more the detective reveals her magical skill. (I didn't say magic kink, you did!)

Summary
The situation grows dire: Davrin’s dead, Bellara’s kidnapped, and Rook is imprisoned while Solas walks free. The Dread Wolf reclaimed his god-tier weapon, leaving Franziska Ingellvar [non-Rook] and the other companions to count their failures under an endlessly raging eclipse.
This story covers Day One of the team without Rook, and reimagines Assan as alive while Davrin has left a corpse behind. While preparing for a Corpse Whispering, interpersonal issues come to light. Emmrich’s decision to become a Lich Lord has disturbed Fran, his long lost daughter, by revealing how many secrets this unassuming gentleman keeps. Meanwhile, Neve is not a fan of Fran's use of maligned spirits against Ghilan'nain.
The team needs a plan, and that plan requires much to succeed. Without Rook or the dagger, can they figure out how to proceed? -

Summary
Two years ago, Ghilan’nain agreed to turn against Elgar’nan and help save the world on one condition: she will accompany Neve Gallus for the remainder of the detective’s mortal life. The mother of monsters refused to explain herself, but given the stakes, Neve could hardly refuse. “Whatever it takes,” right?
Neve has settled into an awkward tolerance of this dubious arrangement by burying herself in her work. Yet under all the grumbling, she finds herself beginning to appreciate Ghilly’s attempts to take care of her.
And Ghilly knows it.

Summary
"You concern yourself a great deal with other's romance, Cole. Why do you think that is?" Maryden inquired one evening near the end of their stay, as she strummed a few bars of "A Garden's Grace." Her tone was curious, with a faint edge of something Cole could not name. He pondered her question from his seat on a stone wall, looking out over the dark water and the shivering reflection of the moon.
"People need help," he shrugged, "with that, more than anything else. They keep their hearts in cages, safe, but sad. Sometimes they won't admit their feelings even to themselves."
Maryden hummed – that note again, that little undertone of…something.
"You would be good at it. You could write a song to weave two hearts together, like harmonies." That brought a smile back to her face, though she still wasn't looking at him, and her next words made him tense.
"Could I do it for myself, I wonder?"
Cole wondered who she'd need to snare, that way.
Cole and Maryden embark on an adventure, and find something more along the way. Written for the DA Reverse Bang 2025.

Summary
In the clash between the Dreadwolf and Lusacan, both were slain. No one was strong enough to keep the Veil from falling apart. No one, except Rook's final nemesis, Elgar'nan. In a last effort to prevent an inevitable catastrophe, the remaining survivors of the Veilguard tie Elgar'nan to the Veil and send him back to Prison. All seems well, and they go on with their lives, mourning and honouring the fallen and rebuilding from the ashes. It is a bittersweet peace, but peace nonetheless.
Rook, though, cannot go on. Rook cannot heal and cannot escape the past. She cannot forgive and cannot have enough vengeance. There is no future for her, and the memory of those who have died because of her is keeping her tethered to the past, regrets, and wrath.
Elgar'nan is there to take advantage of that, while she takes advantage of having him weak and powerless. In a grim twist of irony, they only have each other and neither wants to let go. A snake eating itself, dark twin flames that would rather watch the world burn than let go.Or what grew from a simple prompt by https://archiveofourown.org/users/nananarc/profile

Summary
Nadia does not belong here, but she was not given a say in the matter. Plucked from her world and stuffed into a position not-quite made for her, she takes up the mantle of Raven: leader of the Veilguard, sole force in opposition of the blighted Evanuris, and unlikely ally of the Dread Wolf.
But she knows the story of the Veilguard, and she is no Rook. She does not think in straight lines. She thinks in metaphors and circles and bleeds understanding as though someone cut it from her veins with a dagger. She was sent here for a reason, she's certain, but with each positive change she attempts to make, Fate retaliates with a vengeance that sends her to her knees.
Thankfully, she does not kneel alone. She discovers an unexpected kinship with Solas, who knows intimately how difficult it is to lose everything one has ever known. As their bond deepens, so does the connection between Raven and this new world she's found herself in. She wants to save it. She wants to save him. But will he allow it? Will their love for one another be enough to convince him to turn away from his regrets and see this world with him in it? Will it even matter if Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain blight the whole of Thedas before the final bell tolls? -

Summary
Sometimes your Trevelyan is a respected son of the Bann of Ostwick ready to take on the challenge of sealing the Breach and saving the world. Sometimes your Treveylan is a half-Orlesian Half-Fereldan stableboy with a stutter, no political acumen whatsoever, and zero confidence in his ability to do anything right. Unfortunately for the Inquisition and for Gil, this story is about the latter.
(A very fast and loose retelling of Inquisition with my Inquisitor, Guillaume Archambeau-Trevelyan, who hates being Inquisitor almost as much as he hates his name)
