    Summary

    The warm glow of crackling firelight bathed Kacchan in hues of burnt orange, accentuating the flush staining the high planes of his cheekbones even as his mouth remained curled in a scowl. Perhaps it was the thick, murky fog that was still clouding his judgment, but the only thing Izuku could think was that he looked ethereal.

    The pointed ears nestled in his unruly mess of blond spikes were pressed down flat against his head, betraying the sour mood weighing over him like a thick, smothering storm cloud.

    Even as Izuku’s labored breaths quickened again, all he could do was stare at him.

    OR: When Izuku wakes, bloody and beaten, in a snow-filled wasteland, a familiar face arrives with a pup in tow to bring him to safety. A world of herbal magic, hybrid creatures, and familiar faces tethers him to a reality that isn't his own--but as Izuku struggles to find a way back home, a certain Kitsune stays by his side, fiercely loyal and sharp-tongued as ever. Will the Kacchan of this winter world take him back to reality, or will Izuku fall into the comfort of a life that could've been?

    Summary

    Instant. The regret of accepting the contract had been instant.
    But Crows don't back out of contracts, and Azzurra “Rook” de Riva was particularly stubborn for a Crow.
    Now she stood in front of the pantry door, procrastinating the hell out of the inevitable conversation.
    As luck would have it, the door opened right as she finally went to knock…leading to her fist gently smacking Lucanis in the face.

    When Rook accepts a particularly risqué contract, she did not think about the implications. She should have thought about the implications.

    aka. the 'Lucanis and Rook fake dating at an enemy orgy' one-shot absolutely nobody asked for... but my brain cooked up anyway.
    Just crows being crows, I guess.

    Summary

    Lucanis always holds himself back, a careful distance away from Rook, from losing the last good thing he has left. What does he have to offer her but a villa of graves and a mind that is not his own? Better to remain friends, to keep her safe.

    Until Inquisitor Lavellan expresses his interest in her ... and it looks like Rook might be reciprocating.

    Now that Lucanis risks losing her whether he confesses his feelings or not, he must put his heart and his pride on the line for her.

    But will it be enough?

    UPDATE: oneshot will now be a multi-chapter fic!

    Summary

    "In Spite of the Gods"

    Rori Mercar has never done anything but fall short of expectations. Never made a single good decision in his life. At least, that's how it feels. He shouldn't have expected his time with the Shadow Dragons to be any different.

    "Rook" cannot afford mistakes. The future of the entire world depends on him. But it's easy to change a name, less so to change a man.

    Summary

    Rook could always see and hear spirits. She knew there were others that did, too, but they were often sent to the Nevarra to become Mourn Watchers or Tevinter to work with demons and blood magic. She didn’t like either of those options, so she kept her yap shut.

    So when she was sent to rescue the Demon of Vyrantium, she ignored the fact that she could see his demon’s corporeal form. But as time went on, it got progressively harder not to react, especially when he ramped up on harassing Lucanis when Rook was around, listing all the filthy things that Spite thought he should be doing to her.
