    Summary

    “You are still a Watcher,” Myrna says. She's as calm as ever. “If-”
    “You said I have to agree to something,” Rook says in a low tone, suddenly remembering.
    “Yes,” Myrna says. She lifts her tea cup and sips, eyeing him over the painted-gold rim of it. “There's an old by-law that states Watcher spouses are always entitled to access to the Necropolis and grounds-”

    AU, eventually canon-ish.

    Varric doesn't reach Nevarra City until months after The War of Banners. Myrna and Vorgoth arrange a marriage to keep their foster-son home in the Necropolis amid the fallout. Rook wishes they'd asked his opinion on the matter, but Emmrich Volkarin could be worse, for a senior necromancer.

    Summary

    A long-fingered hand slipped into Rook’s own. Emmrich hadn’t even skipped a beat talking, but when Rook looked up towards him in surprise, Emmrich’s mustache twitched upwards in…good gods, was that a smirk? Rook’s face grew hot.

    Eyes forward, soldier.

    ------

    A cozy little vision of the romance between Emmrich and Rook - the moments of domesticity we never got to see, teased out with some fun backstory tweaks. A little smut here and there!

    Summary

    A familiar shame radiates through Rook's body, tangling with the embarrassment already taking hold. She feels frozen in place for a moment, but when Emmrich tries again to explain to Taash exactly how much he isn't interested in her, the shame propels her to her feet and away from him, swiftly climbing the stairs opposite from where they're standing.

    "Rook," Emmrich calls after her, his brow furrowed. "I haven't finished. You're still in pain."

    She pauses, just below the top of the stairs. She can't meet his eye; her focus instead is on his hands, now resting on the back of the chair she'd just vacated. "I know how to deal with pain, Emmrich," she says, flatly. "It's fine."

     

    Rook is used to not being wanted; it isn't surprising when Emmrich makes it clear he isn't interested, but it still hurts.
    Emmrich has a misunderstanding he desperately needs to clear up.
