    Summary

    In a freak twist of fate, after killing Ghilan’nain and unleashing a lethal amount of magic, Rook does not find herself in the Prison of Regrets. Instead, the magic creates a pseudo-rift and spits her out the other side.

    Stuck in the past, she has several options but only one real conclusion: the Inquisition had done fine the first time. They certainly didn’t need her assistance. The fate of the Veil still hung in the balance, and she had vowed to keep it there by any means necessary. Solas had been helpful up to this point, but she’d known he was plotting—scheming to escape his prison.

    He had used blood magic on her. He’d hurt Varric. He’d cheerfully kill her given half a chance. This younger version hasn’t done anything yet… and doesn’t know to be wary of her. Rook wasn’t above using him, and then killing him with his back turned.

    What was the Dalish saying? May the Dread Wolf take you? Not if Rook took him first.

    Summary

    Can be read solo.

    Solas knew very little about the woman who bore his mark except that she was a beautiful and compelling mystery.

    The green glow lit the small cell. The magic on her hand never fully subsided, but when it spit green fire the woman grew restless. He felt a connection to her that the presence of the mark did not explain. Solas almost did not want her to wake up.
    The moment he interacted with her, she was bound to disappoint, failing to live up to any of his imaginings.

    As if to mock this sentiment, the elf stirred. She opened her eyes to reveal bright green eyes. Solas caught his breath, transfixed.

    She said accusingly, “Is this another trick? You think I can't escape from your prison, Solas?”

    The breath froze in his chest and everything stopped.
    She knew him.

    Solas had no memory of her.

    --
    Both Rook and Solas travel back in time to the begining of the Inquisition. From the beginning, Solas senses a bond linking him to Rook. This changes everything.

    Not a strict retelling.

    Heavy emphasis on Rook and Solas's relationship. Anyone else notice the tension between Cassandra and Varric?

    Expect plenty of party banter as well.

    Summary

    Sometimes the smallest choices can change everything.

    Varric’s decision to hire a blood mage to stop Solas was one of them.

    This is the story of a Rook who isn’t quite what anyone expected. Morally gray and socially awkward, she has little interest in making friends. Enter an Antivan Crow, suspicious of her from the start, and suddenly her plans begin to unravel, threatening more than just her secrecy.

    This is also the story of Lucanis Dellamorte, an assassin turned abomination, the last thing he wants is to work alongside the very kind of mage he once hunted. Enter his personal bane, who’s somehow the most tolerant, accepting person he’s ever known, and now he isn’t so sure if he should trust his instincts or his morals.

    “You know,” she said, voice low as she raised her hand to gently brush the ridge of the dagger. “I don’t normally use other people's blood in my spells. But I do use my own. So if you’re ever going to try and kill me—” her fingers drifted to skim the blade’s edge, just shy of drawing blood, and Lucanis pulled back with a grunt. “—make sure to do it in one clean move. Or otherwise, without blood involved.”

    Summary

    "Lucanis had told himself that keeping Rook at arm’s length was for her sake. Said it was to protect her from Spite. Maker, he’d been such a fool. Every time, she’d chosen him. And every time, he’d shut the door in her face. Would he ever get another chance to make it right? To choose her the way she’d always chosen him?"

    OR

    Crows are taught to kill, not to love. But in the quiet spaces between missions, Rook and Lucanis find something they were never trained for, a thread weaving them together in a bond neither can deny. As Spite’s whispers and the world closes in, they must decide whether their connection is a dangerous weakness or the only thing worth fighting for.

    Loosely follows in-game events, with original scenes and a telenovela flair.

    Summary

    One day, as they visited Treviso to check on the rebuilding process, Caterina announces the news of her plan to marry off Lucanis. Worse, she does so in front of his lover, Rook, and the rest of their team who came along. Stunned, Lucanis' hesitation might have caused a misunderstanding between him and Rook. He wants to clarify things, but it seems, he cannot find Rook. And Spite, too, gets more and more frustrated with him....

     

    Some angst. Some fluff. Lots of perspectives

    NOTE: How many Easter Eggs can you find in each chapter? ^^

    Summary

    Lore divergence incoming!
    In this timeline, Solas didn’t tear down the Veil, but he didn’t mend it either. He’s still out there, while the Old Gods stir and whisper to their future agents. Or do they? Veilguard never forms, because the Inquisition never stopped chasing their Trespasser-given goal: The Inquisitor, the softie, swore to save Solas.

    Rook is an Orlesian bard of questionable morals, working for the Inquisition after his dear friend Leliana hired him. He moves between countries, masks, and names with ease.
    Then a target places him in the path of Master Assassin Lucanis Dellamorte. Their meeting is a complication. None of Rook’s tricks land right. He may have to assume an entirely unpracticed role—and try being himself for the first time in his life. *Disgusted noise.*

    Of course, Solas is out to destroy Thedas too, but that’s barely important.

    Summary

    Noura De Riva is the ideal Crow underdog — fighting her way through a difficult upbringing and a cruel Cuchillo house to be a high-ranking Assassin in House De Riva. However, this is made complicated when she screws up a major operation with the Antaam and ends up on a whirlwind adventure to save Thedas as “Rook.” On top of everything, her feelings for a certain handsome necromancer force her to confront her own emotions, her past, her present, her desires, and what role she wants to play in the life she has.

    Generally canon-compliant longfic that I’m mostly just writing because it’s fun for meeeeee

    Summary

    Stopping the ritual was supposed to save the world. Instead, it tied her to the one who caused its ruin.

    Rook never wanted to lead. Thedas is imploding—Blight swallowing the lands, the Evanuris gathering power—and now she must carry a fractured team through the end of days. It’s no easy task, especially when her strange connection to the Fade drags her into the presence of her greatest adversary every night, against her will.
    Solas is the only one who can help her, but his cryptic words and lingering stares pull her deeper into his orbit. Every conversation is a battle of wills, every moment a knife twisting between them. He’s infuriating, prideful, and impossible to trust. She’s reckless, stubborn, and entirely too clever for her own good. And yet, the more they tear into each other’s wounds, the harder it becomes to pull away.
    With the world at stake, Rook must decide whether to trust the man who shattered it—or risk losing everything. Even if she’s already in too deep.

    OR

    Two emotionally constipated disasters try to avoid falling for each other and fail miserably. Everyone suffers for it.

    Summary

    "You were a Warden to the end, Davrin. A hero. But you were a lot more than that to me. You were my future. We couldn't find any trace of you. Maybe it's just hope, but whatever happens…I love you, Davrin. I always will."

     
    It's been five months since the Battle of Minrathous. Thedas is recovering from the destruction of the Evanuris and the Blight. Treviso, especially, is rebuilding at a rapid pace after suffering from the blighted dragon attack.

    Lucanis is going through the motions as First Talon of the Antivan Crows, doing what is expected of him but detached from his current reality. It isn't until he finds out that Rook is missing that he begins to reevaluate what it means to be a Crow and a Dellamorte.

    And Rook? She's as alone as she's always been. Just as she was before Varric and Harding dragged her on a quest to stop Solas. She just didn't expect it to be so hard this time around.
