    Summary

    “How does it feel?”

    “How does what feel?”

    “Being in his shadow.”

    ---

    When you’ve lived through the end of the world, how do you move on?

    A city saved, gods killed, an apocalypse averted, and the veil restored. As the survivors of Thedas struggle to pick up the pieces of a fallen world, the Antivan Crows are faced with an unusual contract from an unexpected source.

    But for Rook de Riva, moving forward is no small feat, especially when the Crows’ newest contract claws at the doors of a past long ignored. As the new First Talon struggles to find his place - and peace with the demon within - Rook and Lucanis must find a way to build a new life together from the ashes of the old. But quiet domesticity has never been easy for a Crow, and death - and the ghosts of the past - are always just around the corner.

    Summary

    "Smells different," Spite commented, glaring at Lucanis as though her scent were his fault. "Like caramel. Soft." His mouth split in a grin. "She wants you. Us. Wake her!"

    "No!" The word escaped Lucanis before he could keep it in. "Leave her be, Spite. Let her sleep."

    The demon was wrong. Had to be wrong. Letting himself believe that Rook wanted him was too dangerous for both of them. Spite was his only possible future, and he couldn't afford to hope for anything more...

    Summary

    Jason scoffed into the utter quiet of the Tower. “You’d think Bruce would’ve thought better of recruiting a weak-ass Robin like you, considering the last one kicked it.”

    Robin’s head twitched at that, moving slowly to face Jason once again. Jason slammed his hand down on his cheek, holding him down, and Robin couldn’t muster the strength to fight back.

    Still, Jason heard him mumble, “Don’t…” The rest was unintelligible.

    “Speak up, Timothy.”

    Tim glared straight at him and spat, “Don’t you dare talk about my dead girlfriend like that.”

    The short burst of strength failed him, and Jason felt Timothy Drake’s hands slip down his arm and fall at his sides, consciousness fleeing.

    Static filled Jason’s mind, and a dull ringing echoed in his ears.

    He felt his muscles clench. Of course his schemes would be overturned and ruined on the first step. Damn Timothy Drake. Damn Bruce and his penchant for drawing children into his crusade of vengeance. There’s another.

    In which Jason Todd, in the midst of his revenge as Red Hood, realizes there's something he overlooked. There was another Robin that died under Batman's watch.

    Summary

    Ari Ingellvar has always had a strange connection to spirits. Easily possessed yet also able to force out any spirit that found a home within her, she thinks it nothing more than a quirk of her magic. Yet when two ancient elven gods return to bring about the end of the world, her magic, scars, and the vallaslin she was found with will point toward secrets she never expected.
    When Ghilan'nain threatens to destroy everything she's ever cared about, will Ari be strong enough to face her own beginning?
    *****
    Lucanis/Rook/Spite slow burn expanded retelling of Veilguard that spawned from the thought "What kind of child would be found in the depths of the Necropolis?"

    Summary

    The rain came down in thick, relentless sheets, drenching Tim to the bone long before he even reached the house. Wind howled through the trees, rattling the iron gate behind him, and each gust sent icy water running down the back of his neck. He could barely hear his own footsteps over the storm, but he didn’t need to—he knew where he was going.

    Wayne Manor loomed ahead, dark against the night sky, its towering silhouette broken only by the faint glow of a few scattered lights in the windows. The massive oak doors stood at the top of the stone steps, intimidating and unmoving, just as they had always been.

    He should have brought an umbrella. Anyone with half a brain would have.

    Summary

    Danny was adopted by the Fentons as a baby. He knows that, but has no idea who his birth parents are. All he has is a place of birth. Not that it matters.

    Well, it didn't use to matter. But now that his parents - that Jack and Maddie - have found out his secret and not taken it well, maybe it's time for him to try and seek his birth parents out and find out why he was given up for adoption and if they'd be willing to help him out. He doesn't really have many other options at this point.

    Actually, he has zero other options because Vlad would never be a viable one.

    Off to Gotham he goes.

    Summary

    The exceedingly awkward courtship of Lucanis Dellamorte (assassin, virgin, workaholic, romance novel enthusiast) and Rigela 'Rook' Ingellvar (bug appreciator, necromancy scholar, culinary experimenter) is complicated by increased exposure to the Fade and the creeping influence of an Elven god in Rook's head opening up a whole new world: spirit talking. Spite is thrilled, Lucanis is horrified, and Rook is getting very mixed signals from her new Crow companion.

    Summary

    In the shadowy streets and rooftops of Treviso, Rook—born Ellana, daughter of the Hero of Ferelden and Zevran Arainai—has risen swiftly through the ranks of the Antivan Crows, but her life is about to change. When renowned storyteller Varric Tethras and Inquisition scout Lace Harding track her down, Rook is pulled into a mission of dire importance: stopping Solas, the Dread Wolf, from tearing down the Veil and unmaking the world.

    Faced with the legacy of her legendary parents, Rook must decide whether she’s ready to betray the Crows and join a cause larger than any contract she’s ever taken.

    --------

    A novelisation of the game, with plenty of tension, angst, and the love story we all needed. Expect soft Lucanis, a bloodthirsty MC, big brother Viago, and plenty of Crow drama.

    Summary

    Dr. Margaret Palmer is a young family doctor in a small town. She was just trying to unwind and started her second playthrough of Dragon Age: The Veilguard with the intention of saving Treviso and romancing Lucanis.

    Solas’s ritual to tear down the Veil backfires spectacularly, and Molly finds herself confronting Solas in the Fade instead of comfortably on her couch and making her Rook muddle through.

    She’s got a checklist:

    • Cure the blight.
    • Kill the gods.
    • Save everyone.
    • Redeem Solas.
    • Improve her chess game?
    • Learn to cook?
    • Fall in love?

    But she knows it’s all going to end.

    Summary

    From the moment Rook had found him in the Ossuary— rescued him from the Ossuary, her knives slicing through demons and Ventari faster than his eyes could follow— she had impressed Lucanis. She had undoubtedly been the leader between her and Neve, though neither woman were who Lucanis had expected to rescue him.

    But, truthfully, he hadn’t expected anyone to ever come for him.

    He had expected to die in the Ossuary.
    _

    Lucanis falls for Rook in the moments in-between.

    Summary

    Danny had gotten used to a bunch of vigilantes being thrown in his window or deliberately breaking into his small apartment.

    But Black Bat? Danny was not used to her.

    Danny knew she's a fucking Bat and she's more than capable of beating the shit out of anyone that tries to mess with her. But it didn't sit right with him to let a lady leave his apartment, hurt and with her clothes still fucked up without offering her anything other than hot chocolate and some amateur medical care. He was raised better than that!

    So, he gives her his hoodie.

    Summary

    Lucanis is not one to feel sorry for himself, but even he can acknowledge that he has been dealt a bad hand. Being setup and left to rot in The Ossuary, coming home to see his beloved Treviso occupied by Antaam and his grandmother dead, the realities of life as an assassin and coming to terms with being an abomination...most people would fold.

    It's his determination, and Spite - that keeps him going. He'll take vengeance where he can get it. What he never expected to find however, was a light in his new leader that helps him to see things differently. Rook makes him wonder if he can really live again, when all he has ever known is death.

    Slowest burn I've ever written. But I keep those embers alive...while we all wait for it to finally catch fire and let the smutty flames scorch us in all the right ways.

    A retelling of Veilguard through the journey of Eclipse "Rook" Aldwir, focusing on the moments in between, the friendships made and the romance that she did not see coming.
