Summary
Tevinter won. All of it. About 48 years ago. And just because they could, they put in some power play of the sadistic and horrible kind.
Here’s the Taash / Rook Hunger Games AU nobody asked for. (no magic)
Or: How a doomed tribute tried enjoying the short rest of their life to the fullest.
Including an inescapable pull to a tribute from a different district that makes love bloom where it definitely shouldn't. -

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

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.

The Moments Between by DragonRacer

23 Jul 2025

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.

Of Thorns and Threads by CourtneyCranberry

Summary
Rook must navigate a late Omega awakening that defies logic and threatens to dismantle the uneasy confidence she’s only just begun to build as a leader. At the center of it all stands Emmrich Volkarin, whose restraint begins to crack beneath the weight of his longing, despite once believing his Alpha instincts had long since faded when he ascended into Lichdom.
As tension coils and instincts stir, the line between protection and possession grows dangerously thin.

Summary
A spirit of Determination is called to the Ossuary and forced into the form of a demon. However, Lucanis Dellamorte isn't the only Crow in Thedas who's heart is twisted by Spite.
----------
"And this one." Spite set its gaze on Rook like a predator sizing up its prey. "She is ..." The demon paused to take another long, exaggerated inhale. "Delicious," it sighed wistfully. "Heart full of bitterness. Anger. Frustration. Loneliness."
The demon paused again when its gaze met the Crow’s from across the room. Its host was doing his best to maintain his mask of stoicism, but Spite could see the spark of fear in his eyes as he watched Spite leaning over the woman’s short frame. The demon's grin widened as it purred, "This one knows me."

Summary
As a Crow Rook knows she’s not supposed to form attachments with just anyone, but the more she’s around Lucanis, the less she cares. She does her job efficiently and with pride, so what if sometimes the other crows complain to Viago? Rook’s more concerned with what Teia isn’t sharing. When Lucanis's past comes to haunt him, Rook’s sure she can handle anything he throws her way.
More tags to be added as I write, and the rating will probably increase too.

Summary
Runaway princess (Rook) saves cursed prince (Lucanis) from an evil witch's (Zara) tower.
They embark on an adventure to cure him from his curse and help him regain his crown in a wild fairytale medley.Like any Rookanis story of mine, this one sticks to certain central elements of Lucanis personal story.
There will be romance and humor and 4th wall breaks and elements of horror (because fairytales are weird like that). Inspirations include Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle), Catherynne Valente (The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of her own Making) and Ursula Vernon/T. Kingfisher (A Sorceress Come to Call). -

Summary
Bellara gave a strangled gasp and staggered back, her bow falling to the ground with a sharp clatter. She wasn’t looking at the walls or anyone for that matter. Her eyes had gone distant, wide and glassy.
“No,” she whispered. “No, it’s not possible. You’re dead. I saw you die.”
Rook turned toward her sharply, alarm twisting in her chest as she tried to figure out who she was talking to.
Bellara’s breathing hitched. Her lips moved, forming a name like a wound reopening.
“Cyrian.”

Summary
The chamber shifted with those words, reality rippling outward like a drop into still water. The air stirred - slow at first, then all at once - as if the Fade itself were exhaling. The walls pulsed with that breath, distorting, folding back on themselves like silk sinking into water. And then, at the far end of the room, light bloomed: an eluvian. Its surface shimmered like moonlight caught in a still lake, but behind the glass, the world moved. Shadow and flame, voices and color, and through it all - a sound, familiar - as though it had traveled a long, impossible distance just to reach her. She heard her name.
Then again.
Louder.
Frantic.

Summary
Rook had lived a peaceful, relatively secluded life in the Grand Necropolis. It had been that way for years, long enough that she thought she'd finally found her purpose. But good things never last, do they? Somewhere along a series of never-ending missteps, she found herself in charge of a team tasked with taking down two escaped elven gods.
For someone who claimed to not believe in fate, there were entirely too many things that had to go wrong in order to bring her face-to-face with the man who would end up changing her life. With the help of Lucanis and the spirit possessing him, the mysteries of her past start fitting together. But sometimes remembering hurts worse than the unanswered questions ever did.
--------
AKA I created a head-canon for this Rook that consumed my thoughts, so I started writing it out, and then it kept changing and evolving, eventually turning into a novel length fic. Follows a handful of key in-game events, but focuses on lots of additional "in-between" interactions that better develop the relationship between Rook and Lucanis. (Expect slight canon divergences) -

Summary
Fourteen years after the fall of Corypheus, and the continents of Tamriel and Thedas discovering each other, the Dragonborn Inquisitor has gone on to become Empress of Tamriel, deal with her Dominion archrivals, and raise her also Dragonborn children, the oldest of which is now grown-up, a university graduate, powerful mage in her own right, possessed of a strong sense of social justice... and chafing at the restraints of being a princess. The solution is risky, but no Nord's ever feared risk and adventure.

As ancient elven powers rise from darkness, and Princess Maia starts uncovering secrets of her own family's past, bringing the light has never looked like a harder prospect, and it's all on three adolescent Dragonborns to save the world.

Summary
“Rook.” Lucanis said, his voice sincere and frustrated. “I am asking you, please, do not try to honeypot the elven god of lies, treachery, and rebellion.”
“Depending on the story,” Rook muttered mulishly.
Lucanis put his head in his hands.
