Summary
During their argument, a Grey Warden Rook drops the truth about the Calling to Emmrich, only for things to get disastrously out of hand.
It leaves Emmrich with a choice: stay in his room, and go into the most dangerous battle they've yet faced with this hanging unresolved between them, or follow her, and finally stop running from his fears?
- - - - -
He is struggling, she can see it, torn in two between the fears in his mind and the ache in his heart. His throat bobs as he swallows, but the silence stretches on, pulled thin and taut by his need to remain composed and her desperation for him to say something.
But Emmrich knows that if he speaks he will shatter.
And Rook pulls her wrist out of his grasp.

Summary
What if Illario's betrayal cut deeper than anyone imagined? Childhood friends in the streets of Treviso, he'd always harbored feelings for Rook, feelings she never returned. Now, watching her fall for his cousin, years of unrequited longing have twisted into something darker. Blood magic wasn't just his weapon against Spite but became the chains binding Rook to his will, a final desperate act to claim what he believes was always meant to be his.
"You took what he wanted most in this world..."
Now Lucanis faces an impossible choice: embrace the First Talon's mantle he never wanted, or watch helplessly as Illario's dangerous fixation destroys the woman he's come to love. With Rook trapped by forces beyond her control and time running out, Lucanis must navigate his own reluctant feelings while orchestrating the most personal rescue of his life before his cousin's obsession consumes them all.

Summary
“When’s the ball?” Rook asks with a sigh. Lucanis’s smile tells her he took the question as an agreement.
“One week from today,” he says. That leaves seven days for him to teach her how to act like a Crow. Seven days for her to strengthen his resistance to blood magic. Seven days to get a grip on her emotions and not let slip the one secret she holds closest to her heart.
---
Illario's throwing a masquerade ball to crown himself First Talon, so Lucanis and Rook do the only logical thing: sneak in as a Crow couple to save Caterina. It's a fool-proof plan with only three issues: Rook's not a Crow, Lucanis is susceptible to Illario's control, and they're not a couple.

Distinguished Innovators by Avelera for AnonymousSong

Summary
It is the early years of Jayce and Viktor's scientific partnership, and the Distinguished Innovators competition is only three days away. That is, if they can get all the work done for it in time when Jayce is exhausted, overworked, and at risk of burning out entirely before they even make it there.
So when Jayce jokingly asks Viktor to take control and tell him what to do, in the hopes that it will help Jayce relax and get some much needed sleep before the competition, he was not expecting Viktor to so readily oblige. Nor was he expecting what happened after.

Summary
The first thing Lucanis and Spite agreed on was to escape and get their revenge on everyone that had a hand in the torture and experiments they were forced to go through. They would paint the world with their blood.
The second thing Lucanis and Spite agreed on was Rook. How she smelled, how she laughed, how she touched them with care. When they were near her, it was peace. She teased them both with sweet words laced in mischief, and they both realized that it is possible to want something more than revenge.
The third thing they agreed on was coffee. Because coffee is life.

Summary
She cried for her mother. She cried for the brother she had been given and believed to have lost. She cried for her childhood, for the wounds she’d gained and the innocence she’d lost. She cried in relief that he had returned and in fear that he would leave again. She felt heavy; she felt older than her years as Viago held her. Without his arms around her, she would have collapsed onto unforgiving stone.
Or, Rook couldn't sleep. It was an old song and dance, these nightmares, but they had a habit of changing as people came and went in her life. As a child, she found comfort in Viago. Today, she wants to find comfort in Lucanis.
Rated for themes. Best enjoyed/understood if you've read "Segreta" in series at least!

Summary
After the devastating attack on Treviso, Lucanis Dellamorte shuts himself off from the realm of romance, unable to offer Rook Ingellvar, the young elven Mourn Watcher, the emotional bond she longs for despite her unmistakable feelings for him. In the turmoil that follows, he seeks fleeting solace in the arms of Neve Gallus, unknowingly using her as a balm for the connection he cannot return to Rook. While Rook seems to accept his rejection with grace, even appearing content with his newfound closeness to Neve, Lucanis cannot shake the growing ache that pulls him back to Rook—a torment that only deepens with the arrival of a charismatic necromancer and the dawning realization that Rook’s once-steadfast affections may no longer be Lucanis's to solely hold.
