Summary
Before she was the Veilguard’s infamous ‘Rook’ de Riva, she had just been ‘Rookie’—to Viago at least—the name always huffed in a rather annoyed and exasperated tone. It is in his House de Riva that she finds a family; in the Lighthouse that she finds companionship; and in the darkest corner of the pantry, that Rook finds love.
---
Rookie is on a fast-tracked journey to change the world, but she'll do it her way, one Crow at a time—starting with her surly guildmaster. Through every trial, their inexplicable bonds are tested time and time again, and challenges the heart of what it means to be a Crow.
Canon-divergent. Covers both pre-Veilguard events and in-game storylines. Crow-centric, with (un)healthy helpings of Viago de Riva.

Summary
Don't get careless out there. Don't fail. And don't get yourself killed, or I will come after you in the Fade myself.
There was a difference between knowing what magic was and understanding how the Fade worked. Viago wouldn't pretend he understood how the Fade worked—but he figured in this instance, he just didn't care.
"I am going in there," he warned Emmrich. "You will not be able to stop me."
---
Or, Viago makes good on his word, and walks into the Fade for Rook.

Summary
Rook had never been ungrateful for the life she had—a slave girl in Qarinus turned Crow Fledgeling in House de Riva. She had never looked back and wished she had a different life; never wished she hadn't been born into servitude; never once wondered what it would have been like if Viago de Riva never whisked her back to Antiva in the first place and taught her to become a Crow.
It was silly to ruminate on such things when every experience she had, made her who she was now... Until she took her children to the plaza.
---
Or, five things that made Rook reflect on her childhood, and the one time she got to experience it for herself. Written for Mother's Day.
