    Summary

    As a child, the others would whisper about her origin. How she was a soul rejected by the dead, and materialized instead on a long forgotten grave maker as a warning to the other souls making the journey. Or that her birth was so unfortunate, her parents combusted on the spot, punished to ashes, no longer able to be whole and of use in death. Stranger still was the rumor that she was the personification of melancholy, on account of the tears she always shed, and to be close to her would call upon misery in life and death. As if babies never cried?

    The yearning to know and be known in the midst of a world ending threat, mostly in between moments of Rook and Emmrich

    Summary

    Ten years after the Inquisitor closed the Breach, Solas puts his plan into action to tear down the Veil. Members of the former Inquisition are there to stop him, including rookie, Ness Ingellvar. Genevieve Lavellan's dreams are full of cryptic questions and symbols, and she makes her way north to play a more active role in saving Solas from himself. The Dread Wolf, meanwhile, is trapped in the Fade, forced to interact with the waking world through Rook until he can resume his path to contrition. Ness tries to juggle the two estranged lovers while building a team in order to defeat escaped Elvhen gods Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain--and possibly Solas.

    Veilguard but with more involvement from my Inquisitor. Heavy on the Solavellan. My Rook will appear, and she romanced Davrin, so a little bit of that. Will probably tag as I go. Ideally I want to stick to the periphery of the story, like stuff we don't explicity see in-game, and this'll probably (definitely) get canon-divergent. Not much is planned; I'm just following the skeleton of the game and doing whatever I want with it!

    Summary

    Single-minded Dawes Mercar has known one thing from a very young age - the Venatori must die.

    Minrathous is his home, and Minrathous hates him. Sometimes he thinks he hates it too. When a job with the Shadow Dragons goes so well (or so sideways, depending who you ask) that Dawes is asked to take some time away from the city, he never expected it would lead to a new purpose. And he never expected that purpose would arrive in the form of an optimistic, red-headed, freckled dwarf from Ferelden.

    Summary

    Once, when Rook was young and bored, she'd been sent to dispatch a Templar with a fondness for little magelings. On the way out, she raided the Circle library, finding a compilation of children's tales.

    One told the story of a passel of goat kids left behind by their mother, who warned them not to let in the wolf creeping outside their door. He would lie and deceive and wheedle, she told them, but they must resist. Sure enough, the first knock came, and a deep voice rumbled through the gnarled wood.

    "Let me in," said the voice. "Your mother has gifts for you all." His gruffness and timbre gave him away, however, and the goats did let him in. So the wolf found honey to soften his voice and returned, but this time the goats looked under the door and saw his black furry paws. Finally the wolf rolled in flour and knocked at the door once again; this time the goats let him in, and he devoured all but one of them.

    Rook feels a certain amount of kinship with those goats now, after Solas - if the clock turned back for them, she wonders, would they have killed the wolf before he ever had the chance to come calling?

    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.

    Summary

    —as written (reluctantly) by Varric Tethras

    I thought I’d found the one. The person who could finally help us beat Solas.

    Wrong.

    Isabela said, "If you're taking one of my best Lords of Fortune, you're taking the sister too."
    Yeah. I thought, how bad could that be?

    Wrong again.

    These two are walking catastrophe magnets. And something tells me we haven’t even seen half of what they’re capable of.
    Thedas will probably be upside down before they’re through—with results both brilliant and disastrous.

    sigh
    I’m too old for this shit.

    Summary

    A collection of letters, notes, and half-finished thoughts addressed to Rook de Riva — some never meant to be read, others aching to be understood. Between the lines, a story unfolds: of bonds forged in silence and of memories too sharp to forget.

    Summary

    This is an AU/Fix-it wherein DATV comes from the same lineage of politics as the previous three games. I'm attempting to maintain the general story of DATV within that framework but, as respecting the previous games' lore is The Point, there are some fairly robust changes.

    Updates every other day. 200k and finished.

    Summary

    Lady Rose Trevelyan is in over her head.

    Her attendance at the Conclave was only meant to distract her from her failures as a daughter. And then it blew a hole in the world. Marked by an unknown magic, armed with only a few relevant skills, Rose fumbles and fights her way across Thedas with a band of shockingly deadly oddballs dedicated to stopping— well, all of it. As apocalyptic forces conspire to break and remake her, Rose is snared between the tentative devotion of the Inquisition’s stalwart commander and the fierce love of legendary warrior Garrett Hawke, two vastly different men both haunted by hindsight.

    Summary

    It's an odd sensation, traveling through an Eluvian, but Neve barely pays attention to the feeling as they stumble out the mirror on the other side.

    She looks up, praying for Tevinter, for home, for anything familiar.

    Instead, she finds that they're in the Fade.

    Summary

    Rook's life hasn't been an easy one. From surviving under the Qun as a Saarebas to eventually escaping and finding a new purpose with the Grey Wardens, now she's expected to save the world from a pair of ancient elven gods when she can barely keep her own wild magic under control. Guess it's a good thing the team includes a seasoned professor with a gentle touch who might, quite possibly, be the first true connection Rook has ever felt after a lifetime of pain and distrust.

    A long-fic re-telling of the events surrounding Dragon Age: The Veilguard. but with major focus on original content involving the moments in between the known story beats. The moments that happen before and after missions and the moments during downtime that forge relationships, that force periods of reflection, that nourish the soul, that cause us to grow, that refill the emotional reserves to press forward, that remind us why - and for whom - we are fighting.

    Summary

    "I have an elven god in my brain. And I might have accidentally started the end of the world."

    Adella Mercar has always tried to carve her own path, defiant of the expectations placed upon her by Tevinter society. But now, she has been tasked with preventing an apocalypse of her own making.

    The Shadow Dragons wouldn't be enough to bring down the gods. She would need to seek counsel from all over Thedas, from all walks of life...and undeath.

    Summary

    When he returned to Rook, his voice was almost unbearably soft. “You’re an idiot,” he muttered, as though speaking to himself. His hands were still trembling as he pressed a cloth to the wound, trying to hold it together.

     

    Rook, ever the charmer, just smiled. “You sound like Viago.”

     

    Follow the growing relationship between Lucanis and Rook, told from the POVs of their companions. As the two get closer, everyone has their own take on what’s going on between them. Expect a lot of pining, misunderstandings, and some lighthearted moments as the companions watch their relationship develop.

    Edit: This fic did much better than I ever expected - so, as a small thank you, I decided to revisit and rewrite it. Now featuring even more longing, more words, and hopefully, even more to love.
