    Summary

    Deep within the veil, a flickering light stands still. A woman, tall for an elf, yet plain of height for a human, sat playing chess within her own mind.

    Rook De Riva was not the likeliest of heroes, at least she would tell you this herself if you asked. Yet no one had, ever, simply asked. One man in particular believed that she could make something truly out of her life, rather than the odd string that fate had tugged at her with all those years: a dwarf with a knack for trouble, tales (some tall), and eyeing talent. He had plucked her with such deft after hearing of her tale, drawing out the rumours and lies, and kept within himself, her story and tears- with only but two angles, keeping the heat off the Crow as he had promised Viago (as well as keeping her safe, though this was a secret he kept for Viago), and keeping her past hidden. All she would have to do is aid him in his quest to save the world.

    But that tale has been told, of the Veilguard that took down the dread wolf. What was left out was the tale behind the elf herself. Dead men tell no secrets, and thus Varric's words lay silent. Yet one detective sought to find this truth, as remnants of Rook's rose.

    Summary

    It's hard being First Talon. Caterina is finally starting to step aside, and the responsibilities are piling up. From fake contracts, traitorous crows, and a healing Treviso, Lucanis has his hands full. Then Teia walks in and asks for a favor. Her childhood best friend, the fashion heiress of house Montique, is under fire from a rich man who doesn't like to take no for an answer. Teia suggests that the best way to ruin a mouthy man, is to discredit him. To scare him. To drive him from Treviso. Best way to start? Make the target of his salacious rumors and more, untouchable. Marry her to the Demon of Vyrantium, the new First Talon. His name carries weight, even if he's unsure how this will help in anyway. But Arabella is a sweet girl. A lonely thing who just wants to be left alone with her fabrics and mourn the loss of her family. Truly, things could be worse...
    That is till he realizes she's in actual danger, and there's more to the crumbling house of Montique than meets the eye.
    As the pair grow closer, over late night coffee and Spite's endless meddling, Lucanis can't ignore his blooming attraction. And, well, someone's gotta give Caterina more grandbabies... and it ain't Illario
