Summary
“You feel so deeply,” She squeezed his hand once more.
“It is completely impossible to feel anything less for you, my dear.” He kissed her hand, hazel eyes examining her scant grave gold. Perhaps she would allow him to change that.
“Must you always have something enchanting and passionate to say?” she laughed through a cough, flustered by him yet again.
“I always choose my words carefully,” he whispered, their competition resumed. Warm lips a hair away from her skin, his breath hot against it. He wished to court and woo her properly, but when she looked at him like that, like he was all she wanted, it wore heavily on his resolve. If only he were a weaker man.Emmrook fluff and more as they navigate having feelings and trying not to scare each other away. Tags will be updated with chapters, rating will change ;3

Summary
Fix-it for Solavellan and Rook romances in Dragon Age: Veilguard. DAV is not canon.
Eight years after Trespasser, a couple of days before Veilguard.
Lavellan has retreated to the Temple of Mythal as the bearer of The Well of Sorrows. Still kept up to date by her contacts and understanding the gravity of the future. Probably better than almost anyone else. Determined to stay out of it, she gets a letter from her baby sib, Rook. Who is just about to go after Solas with Varric and some detective from Tevinter. Lavellan can't leave her sib to face Solas alone. But she'd rather retreat to the fade forever than face her lost love.
She's moved on and has a loving relationship with Abel'as. She's cared for as the Bel'len'a'ris Ghi'lan'a, The Guide to Eternal Knowledge. She and her beloved have been trying for a child. It is not the time to go haring off into the north of Thedas to confront an elf who never listened to her before.
Lavellan is faced with the choice of trying to help save the world again or staying where she's safe and loved. If she goes, she has a very slight chance of helping Solas survive taking down the veil, and keeping her baby sib alive long enough to get into even more trouble.

That's when she meets Varric with a contract of a lifetime. If she can pull this off and find the Dread Wolf, then she can return home victorious once tempers have cooled.
However, when the ritual crashes down around them and circumstances change, Isabella realizes that she needs to extend the contract. Otherwise, there won't be a home for her to return to.

Summary
** This fic contains spoilers from the entire game, proceed at your own risk **
Rook let the silence overtake them, knowing that their task felt so surreal that any explanation simply wasn’t sufficient to express the gravity of what she had already seen. The gods she had been raised to venerate, a prayer to Elgar’nan for favor in raising crops, his countenance the life-giving sun, or a plea to Ghilan’nain, the Mother of halla, to guide their clan safely through the forests and mountains; her beliefs crushed by the horrifying truth of their tyrannical destruction, the obsessive desire for power at any cost. Could she truly expect shemlen to understand they were against the will of her gods? And could she admit that her stumbling had freed them…?
A mini-novelization of the events of Veilguard with my headcanons, with a focus on Rook and Emmrich's romance.

Summary
Rook De Riva has always been able to keep her past in the shadows, a fitting talent, considering she was once a Master Assassin for the Antivan Crows. But when a mission gone awry leads to two ancient elven gods being freed, she is forced to turn to a ghost from her childhood for help. Lucanis Dellamorte is Rook’s best shot at protecting the veil, but the more time she spends with him, the more she fears he’ll find out he’s not the only one battling their inner demons. As memories of their shared past resurface, so do Rook’s feelings for the man who once unknowingly held her heart.
—
A blend of in game events and other Dragon Age Lore, this story dives into the darker history of the Antiva Crows, and explores the backstories of Lucanis, Teia, Viago, and Illario in more depth. Additional Rook/Lucanis romance scenes that were cut from the game are sure to be included, such as a dip in the lake, some 1:1 time in a gondola, and a few other scenarios with a little Spite…erm I MEAN… spice… ;)

Summary
A new era begins in Thedas…
Ten years have passed since the Breach was sealed. The Veil still trembles. And Fen’Harel—known to some as Solas, the Dread Wolf—has not abandoned his mission to tear it down completely… even if it destroys him in the process.
Haunted by a love he cannot keep and a world he cannot save, Solas walks a path of sacrifice. But the echoes of his past have not forgotten him.
Recruited by Varric, Rook, a powerful spirit mage and deadly member of the Antivan Crows, must face the impossible: stop a god, uncover the truth about herself, and prevent reality from collapsing.
Meanwhile, Lavellan, the Inquisitor who once sealed the Breach—and who once gave her heart to Solas—moves through the shadows of Minrathous. Her mission is clear: save Thedas… or die trying. But to do so, she must confront the man who broke her heart… and decide whether he can still be saved—or must be stopped.
Can Rook unravel her past before it’s too late?
Can Lavellan reach Solas before the Dread Wolf consumes what’s left of him?
And most importantly… can anyone truly save Thedas?Whatever it takes.

Summary
Una nueva era comienza en Thedas…
Han pasado diez años desde que se cerró la Brecha. El Velo aún tiembla. Y Fen’Harel—conocido por algunos como Solas—no ha abandonado su misión de destruirlo por completo… incluso si eso lo destruye a él en el proceso.
Perseguido por un amor que no puede conservar y un mundo que no puede salvar, Solas camina un sendero de sacrificio. Pero los ecos de su pasado no lo han olvidado.
Reclutada por Varric, Rook, poderosa maga espiritual y letal miembro de los Cuervos de Antiva, debe enfrentarse a lo imposible: detener a un dios, descubrir la verdad sobre sí misma y evitar el colapso de la realidad.
Mientras tanto, Lavellan, la Inquisidora —y quuien una vez entregó su corazón a Solas—se mueve por las sombras. Su misión es clara: salvar Thedas… o morir en el intento. Para lograrlo, deberá enfrentarse al hombre que rompió su corazón… y decidir si puede salvarlo o si deberá detenerlo.
¿Podrá Rook desentrañar su pasado antes de que sea demasiado tarde?
¿Podrá Lavellan alcanzar a Solas antes de que el Lobo Terrible lo consuma?
¿Puede alguien realmente salvar Thedas?
Cueste lo que cueste.
Bienvenidos, una vez más, al mundo de Dragon Age.
