    Summary

    After the Battle of Minrathous, Rook left. Letters dwinndled. Words went unsaid. A year later, Lucanis Dellamorte is First Talon of the Antivan Crows: respected, feated, and quietly drowning beneath the weight of power, politics, and ghosts.

    Pressured to marry for the good of his House, he agrees to a desperate lie: a fake betrothal to the one person he cannot forget.

    Rook is everything he has ever wanted and everything he believes he cannot have. Now, bound by contract, pretense, and proximity, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur, and pretending might be far more dangerous than telling the truth.

    Summary

    Rook's life is a mess, objectively speaking, and keeping the Lighthouse coffee bar running after the year she's had isn't making it any easier. Then she meets Lucanis Dellamorte, a rich guy with enough skeletons in his closet to fill a graveyard, and her life gets even messier. Grief is weird, being an adult is hard, and falling in love might be the messiest thing of all.

    This is a story about two people falling in love, but it’s also my love letter to the friend group. It’s not a very serious story, except when it is (because life’s not that serious, except when it is.)

    (Title from the poem by Cameron Awkward-Rich)

    Summary

    ossuary (ˈäSHəˌwerē) noun 1. a container or room in which the bones of dead people are placed. 2. the final resting place of skeletal remains.

    Thought dead by his family, Lucanis Dellamorte, the infamous Demon of Vyrantium, spends over three hundred days languishing in an impenetrable Tevene prison at the bottom of the sea. But he doesn't do it alone—and like it or not, his new demonic cellmate may be his only hope of escape. Sometimes the only way to fight your demons is to make a deal instead.

    Summary

    Marchioness Caterina Dellamorte has decided that her grandsons need to wed. Her grandsons have other ideas.
    So does Rook, who is considered a hopeless spinster at the age of 26, but her parents have decided to give her one more chance to find a match.
    Finding a common cause, Rook and Lucanis hatch a plan to get both of them through the season without having to deal with debutantes and suitors.

    This fic has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the game. It is set very roughly at around 7:80 Storm, and I am taking *Liberties* with the history and people of Thedas and pretty much everything else (except, hopefully, the core of the characters) to suit my story.
    Disclaimer: I have not read the Bridgerton books, but Rook is basically Eloise in this one.
