Summary
Lucanis wanted one thing out of life, and that was to make good coffee. Unfortunately, the circumstances of his birth demanded that he kill people for money.
Rook was in love with the baristo at Cafe Pietra. Unfortunately, she didn't even know his name.
...
Set mainly in Treviso, Rook is a college student with a crush on the local baristo at her favorite cafe. Little does she know, he's actually a master assassin--one who might just be able to help her prevent the university from shutting down the exchange program that keeps her from being sent back to Minrathous.
(Alternative plotline, kind of a coffee shop AU that plays with elements of canon later on.) -

Summary
Lucanis disliked the West. It was wild, hot, and dry. There were no good cafés, but mostly, it was crawling with Venatori.
Until the contract for Calivan, he’d seen them as little more than targets — easy bounties.
A year locked away in the Ossuary changed that. Now, he hated the West and every last member of that blood cult.
Escaping had nearly cost him his life. He needed medical attention, and worse, he had his own guardian demon named Spite. That was how they stumbled upon the mortician in a small town called Nevarra.
Emmrich was everything the Crows had trained Lucanis not to be — empathetic, merciful, and above all, kind. Lucanis owed him a debt for the healing, and over time, he learned how life in this strange town worked.
There was still revenge to take. Still contracts left unfulfilled.
But there was also Emmrich.
Maybe he didn’t hate the West as much as he thought.

Summary
To any and all of those waiting for an update, I promise chapter 4 is in the works, but with how life has been and much bigger plans I have in the works Waterborne Salvation has taken a bit of a back seat. I’ll update soon!
It seems these days, Lucanis Dellamorte's jobs are never simple. His contract? Kill one Magister Ferris Henric.
As a Crow, Caterina's chosen no less, he's supposed to do his job and return for the next one. However, he hadn't accounted on finding life, intelligent life, in this workshop. Lucanis finds himself at a crossroads. Remedy the situation himself, or walk away, job completed, and hope no one else comes across this place and finishes the magister's work themselves.
Good thing Illario wasn't here.To her, this was everything. She had heard talk of this supposed world outside this dark chamber. Here she was surrounded by things similar but not quite the same as her. Her time for freedom was limited, that she knew, but each attempt at freedom was met with sharp, shocking punishments.
Then one day, someone new stood before her. Clothes stained red as he regarded her with eyes that seemed cold, but like her enclosure, it was merely a barrier between her and the world. -
In the Shadow of Fallen Gods by Velvet_Raven

Summary
Sometimes, the monsters we face are not so easily defined. They may be gods risen from ruin, spreading Blight in their wake as they claw at the vestiges of an ancient empire. Or they may be the demons that have already taken root within.
Through it all, those who have stood alone must learn that survival demands a price—and death is not the only sacrifice.
This is a story of redemption and reckoning. Of second chances and of love. Of stories that were not over.
A reimagining of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, where gods will rise, heroes may fall, and some battles can never truly be won.

Summary
Making new friends, trying new things, growing pains with an unexpected new roommate - Lucanis' first days at the Ossuary (and Spite's first days ever) certainly aren't boring.

Summary
On his way to fulfil a contract in Minrathous, Lucanis Dellamorte, the Demon of Vyrantium, falls into the claws of his sworn enemies – Venatori bloodmages.
In his desperate attempt to flee his captors he strikes a deal with a demon – unaware of the consequences for the trajectory of his entire life and the people in it.
__________________________This work is a collection of moments between Lucanis and Crow!Rook throughout their journey as members of the Veilguard – most of them close to canon with some missing scenes added here and there.
I find the slow burn of their in-game relationship rather realistic, since both of them are reserved and guarded, but rest assured that their shared background and the interventions of Spite will slowly pull them together. -

Summary
Fade Tear gone terribly wrong and a woman from Earth ends up in Thedas right in time for a world-saving mission. Without a skill in fighting, with no magic at her command she can only count on luck, her friends and her wits. Will she be able to leave once this is all over? Or will she find someone she won't be able to leave?
IMPORTANT: DA games and lore don't exist in our world in this fanfiction. Thedas is absolutely new to Katia and she does not understand anything about the world she found herself in.
ALSO IMPORTANT: this won't have full events of the game, only the key ones. As much as I'd love to rewrite the game plot adult life really takes its toll.

Summary
ossuary (ˈäSHəˌwerē) noun 1. a container or room in which the bones of dead people are placed. 2. the final resting place of skeletal remains.
Thought dead by his family, Lucanis Dellamorte, the infamous Demon of Vyrantium, spends over three hundred days languishing in an impenetrable Tevene prison at the bottom of the sea. But he doesn't do it alone—and like it or not, his new demonic cellmate may be his only hope of escape. Sometimes the only way to fight your demons is to make a deal instead.

Summary
Any day that a new voice appears in Lucanis's head can be considered a bad day. On the bright side, if this isn't a hallucination, he and his demons might finally get out of the Ossuary.
(Or, Spite takes out an inter-dimensional Craigslist roommate ad. He does not ask permission first.)

Summary
The prison’s bone-numbing cold penetrates her clothes and skin, burns through her muscles and bones. A sickening chill starts behind her eyes, slithers through her mind, drags its claws down her back, and coils into a fist. Those clenched, phantom fingers around her spine tell her she is not alone, and she is almost afraid to look at the source…
Spite stares at her through stolen, crimson eyes, and croaks in a voice that doesn’t belong to it, and yet sounds nothing like Lucanis, Welcome. To hell. Rook.
***
The demon gets in Rook’s face, hissing and spitting. I want out. Make him let me out. Its stolen face contorts with rage and it whirls to face Lucanis. You never listen. You listen to her. It looks between them, furious. Make him leave this place. Rook. Crow-witch. Make. Him. Leave.
I can’t, she thinks. I can’t make him do anything. Not after all that’s been done to him. I can’t be the one who breaks him.

Summary
Lucanis thought—and he remembers this, he does, with a flash of acid up and through his throat as his grip solidifies around Rook’s dagger—that this food he was given couldn’t be poisoned. His captors wouldn’t. If they wanted to kill him, a knife to the throat would be so much quicker, and it wouldn’t ruin his flesh and blood.
The food hadn’t been poisoned. It had contained Spite.
The glamour on the deliquescent shred of meat dissolved the moment Lucanis let it pass his blistered lips. Then her hands had been on his mouth and on his nose, and he was so weakened, so enfeebled from simple neglect, he couldn’t overpower her. He could swallow or he could suffocate. Through visceral, muscle-clenching force she gave him his choice: acceptance, or annihilation.
--
An AU in which a De Riva Rook briefly met Lucanis before the events of DAtV.How much changes? That depends on how long it takes for Lucanis to decide it's okay to let himself have good memories. Also, maybe on Spite, because this demon he's made a bargain with seems increasingly interested in this strange, strong elf who's rescued them from a prison at the bottom of the sea....

Summary
It started with feelings that weren't his own. He just had to keep his distance, keep the demon contained. Then he could just focus on the contract. But the more he traveled and fought by their side, the more he wondered if all he was feeling was really just Spites' obsession or was walking to close to an edge he could not climb back up from.
Lucanis' romance from his perspective as he slowly falls for Rook.
Rooks' race/gender/appearance/class is left ambiguous for the reader to imagine their own idea of Rook for the story. The only decisions made is that Rook is from the Crows and is very purple response leaning.

Summary
By happenstance it was your luck that you were confronted with this situation. A deadly assassin locked away in a prison of your own order. Being a Venatori also meant being unlucky. Almost constantly. Fleeing the scene made you believe you had a chance of a normal life, but as always that wasn't meant for you. An encounter with a Crow in the Treviso streets changes your outlook on life completely.
