    Summary

    Thedas has had many mighty heroes: brave noble warriors, tenacious mages daring the Fade, quick-witted rogues evading danger. These are the people who become legends.

    This story is about someone else entirely — an elf from the alienage, the sole survivor of the Conclave, who really misses his Ma.

    The story of someone who despite being a Herald, has no idea what the word means.

    Summary

    Two decades ago, the Blight was ended by a legend. Now, as the Veil shatters once more, the Hero of Ferelden returns to a world that has forgotten the true cost of salvation.

    While the people look to Marcius—the man they call Rook—as their new lighthouse, those closest to the Amell bloodline begin to feel the chill of a gathering storm. Behind the masks of divinity and the desperate decrees of the Chantry, secrets are festering. Memories have been stolen, old alliances have turned into cages, and the weight of a forced peace is beginning to crush the very people it was meant to protect.

    In a game played by gods and monsters, Emmrich Volkarin struggles to find the woman he loves beneath the shadow of a growing ambition. But some burdens are too heavy for any mortal to carry, and when the price of victory becomes higher than the soul can pay, the only way to win is to break the world entirely.

    Summary

    You are invited to the wedding of the First Talon of the Antivan Crows to Professor Emmrich Volkarin. You will appropriately fawn over the First Talon's bridegroom, you will not stare at the skeleton ringbearer, and you will have a magical time, because the First Talon has planned every detail of this wedding.

    Vignettes of Lucanis planning the best damn wedding for Emmrich that he can.

    Summary

    "I’ve lived many lives by many names. Some given, others taken...The newest name is Rook. A nickname, a codename, or an alias, depending on who speaks it... I prefer the names I’m given over those I choose for myself. I doubt Solas feels the same. My names were given in love and friendship. His by those who told stories on his behalf. That gives me some comfort, knowing this similarity between us is only superficial. Especially after what he’s done..."

    If you like: flirting by way of conversations about moral philosophy, overtly warm and sensitive companionship, eager consent, and a soft boy haunted by moral injury and moved by compassion...

    Then please enjoy this Nec-Romance. Expect character focused writing that takes us through all the events of Veilguard, with plenty of sweet moments, great focus on fleshed out moral dilemmas, and a dash of angst that doesn't overstay its welcome (hopefully), all buttoned up with some gentle dom-sub play.

    Chapters for Part One posted weekly, Part Two and Three still pending...

    Summary

    “To live in this world you must be able to do three things: To love what is mortal; To hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, To let it go.” (Mary Oliver)

    Tavi grew up on a small, rural farm in the Tevinter Imperium. He and his family laboured for their daily bread; spent holy days at the local temple; and enjoyed the fruits of the seasons, living humbly but happily in their slice of paradise.

    Then, a magister came through their little village. In his wake, he wrought upon Tavi's world a wave of misery worse than any blight.

    Fifteen years pass. Octavian has clawed his way from the hellish imprisonment that had been thrust upon him, far colder a man than he had been when he first saw the walls of a cell. Imbued with vengeful purpose, he plans to seek justice for the wrongs committed against him: and if justice cannot satisfy him, he will settle for blood.

    (Covers Tevinter Nights, Veilguard, and an epilogue.)

    Summary

    Formerly House De Riva's secret weapon, the protégé of the Fifth Talon, Selora "Rook" de Riva, is grappling with being thrust into leadership after confronting Solas in Minrathous. The contract she took with Varric has only gotten increasingly more complicated.

    One of those complications arriving in the shape of Lucanis Dellamorte, master assassin and grandson of the First Talon.

    Summary

    The conclave was supposed to be a step toward better relations between the mages and templars... until an explosion massacres everyone. Everyone except one elven servant with a mark on her hand.

    From prisoner to religious icon to leader of an army, Ellana Lavellan navigates a religion that slaughtered her people, negotiates with nobles that see her as dirt, and struggles to save a world that despises her. Gathering allies along the way, she faces an ancient enemy and her own past to keep Thedas from splitting at the seams.

    This indepth retelling of Bioware’s Dragon Age Inquisition connects the major plot points with more detailed encounters, intricate side character stories and romances, a ton of lore, and a lot of backstory for Ellana Lavellan to set up for a Veilguard fix-it fic.

    Want to yell at me? Listen to my rambles? Discuss lore? I am @dalorewhore on tumblr.

    BIG thank you to @daitranscripts on tumblr. I am exceedingly grateful. Also @daydreamsonacloudyday with the travel times map and @FenxShiral with Project Elvhen. I still don't understand elvhen, but I'm using 5 different resources so it hopefully comes out okay.

    Summary

    Lucanis and Spite have been held captive by the Venatori for years now. But now that the so-called gods are dead, Zara Renata decides to gift her pet demon to Rook Laidir in hopes that it would buy the qunari's favor. Spoiler: it's not going to go the way she thinks it will.

    Sequel to Mar-Merevas (It Doesn't Have To Be), but you probably don't have to read that first! What was going through Lucanis's mind after being "gifted" to the Veilguard by his Venatori captors post-game? (References to Lucanis and Spite's terrible time under the Venatori, but nothing on-screen)

    Summary

    When red lyrium starts appearing in the streets of Thedas, it doesn’t just corrupt; it makes its users rabid. Ivy “Rook” Ingellvar is on a deadline to find the source before the sickness spreads. But her past won’t stay buried, and the people Varric holds close start showing their secrets.

    Emmrich Volkarin should be the safest man to stand beside, a rare necromancer with iron control and a gaze that never looks away. Necromancers are scarce, and the bonds they form are rarer still, old magic that clings, claims, and refuses to let go. As the trail tightens, protection blurs into possession, and Rook must decide what she’ll sacrifice to stop the red and what she’s willing to surrender to the man following her every step.

    Summary

    Seven Weeks charts the volatile, intimate aftermath of Ivy “Rook” Ingellvar’s near-death and the slow rebuilding of a life with Volbank’s CEO—Emmrich Volkarin. In the glare of corporate crisis and city gossip, the line between work and love thins to a wire. Rook moves into his penthouse after the fire; he becomes her protector and her problem, gentling her through recovery even as his possessiveness and need for control cross lines he swore he wouldn’t.

    Zara’s data theft detonates, Illario circles with predatory patience, Solas is still at large and Johanna is missing.

    And when the villains finally strike, Emmrich’s world collapses to a single priority: get her back. A birthday video cracks everything open—forcing the truth Rook meant to give him in person and leaving them to choose, together, what survives.

    Summary

    Dawes 'Rook' Mercar has long accepted that his life would be a grueling and bloody-knuckled fistfight. He dreams of a new Imperium, of slavery abolished, of the Venatori eradicated; but his blind vengeance for the murder of his mother muddies the waters of his intentions.

    A chance meeting six months ago delivered him Scout Lace Harding, and impossibly, a reminder that goodness can still be found in some hearts. While he works through the brambles of his own mind, he asks her, selfishly, to wait for him.

    In the throes of the Sixth Blight, his traitorous heart has other plans.
