    Summary

    In theory, the plan was simple. In practice, it was doomed from the start.

    Rook never intended to join the Inquisition – especially not a decade in the past. But when a mission sends her hurtling through time, she must navigate old enemies, new alliances, and a different kind of face-off with the Dread Wolf, after already defanging him once.

    Summary

    Sylvara, also known as Rook and a skilled Veil Jumper, is thrust back in time to the ancient era of the Evanuris, where she becomes entangled in Solas' rebellion against the self-proclaimed gods. Joining forces with Solas and Felassan, she navigates fraught dynamics and simmering emotions as they wage a war steeped in defiance and danger. Along the way, Sylvara uncovers fragments of a mysterious past through memories not her own, forcing her to confront questions of trust, betrayal, and an undeniable connection she cannot ignore. As the stakes escalate, their journey through ancient forests and buried truths reveals not only the path ahead but also the shadows of what has been—and what is yet to come.

    Summary

    Lucanis Dellamorte was never expecting a rescue from the Ossuary, Rook never wanted to save the world, and Spite never wanted to become this.

    Now together, they work alongside the company of their unlikely friends to try and stop the blighted gods from destroying Thedas, while struggling with their own inner demons. Some more literal than others.

    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.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    10/10 Lucanis characterisation. The pining. The romance. Rook as a demon is perfect. I love it all.
