    Summary

    Rook looked up at him, their eyes wide, vulnerable in a way they rarely allowed themselves to be. “Then why did you run?”

    Lucanis’ lips quirked into a bitter smile. “Because you’re the one person who could break me, and that terrifies me more than anything.”

    -----

    Lucanis and Rook almost kissed (the famous wall-lean scene). Rook runs after Lucanis.

    Walls Like Ours is a story written for @CobraSwims (X), as part of my "Wings and Blades" series exploring the romance between Lucanis and different Rooks.

    Summary

    Rook survived the Kirkwall Circle. She survived Crow training. She even survived a meeting with the Dread Wolf. But, she's starting to wonder if her sanity will survive the Demon of Vyrantium.

    Before Spite, before the Antaam, before his "death" and her defiance, Lucanis and Rook had history together. No, not that kind of history, for all that Rook had wished for it. They were colleagues, and on their better days Rook would have even called them friends. Never mind that she had fallen for him from their first mission together; never mind that she was the one mage he trusted to have his back; never mind that she'd saved his life once already and he'd owed her a debt long before the Ossuary. They'd left too many things unsaid, and what words were spoken before it all fell apart had been shouted in anger.

    Now it's the end of the world, and with it, a second chance. But a demon, a Blight, and three Elven gods stand in their way, and the odds for anything good are stacked against them. How fortunate then, that a Rook can rise above anything, and a Crow's stubbornness can spite the gods themselves.

    It's just getting out of their own way that's the real problem.

    Summary

    Lucanis had never been so amused watching someone eat. She paused as she considered every bite, sometimes halving it, like she worried about taking too much though none of her bites could be considered anything but diminutive. She chewed thoroughly, vigorously, always with her fingers pressed to her lips to shield herself. She savored, letting out quiet little sounds of appreciation.

    “Is that thyme?” she asked suddenly.

    “It is.” He was surprised she could detect it. He had used the barest sprinkling, just enough to tame the bitterness of the onions.

    A stirring in the back of his skull, movement from a phantom that had held himself so strangely patient that the absence of him was more jarring than his presence. Cook for her more.

    A spark ignited in his chest, a need.

    --

    Or sometimes a family is a Hunger demon suffering from a long bout of humanity, her Dalish daughter, a demonicly possessed assassin, and the kooky aunts and uncles they've amassed along the way.
