More of a Rook than a Crow by NegligibleMoose

Summary
“I guess you were right, Viago. I’m more of a Rook than a Crow.”
After saving captives from the Antaam, Isabella finds out from Viago that she ruined a larger Crow operation. Until further notice, she's banished from Antiva until things calm down. That's when she meets Varric with a contract of a lifetime. If she can pull this off and find the Dread Wolf, then she can return home victorious once tempers have cooled.
However, when the ritual crashes down around them and circumstances change, Isabella realizes that she needs to extend the contract. Otherwise, there won't be a home for her to return to.

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
"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.

In the Shadow of Fallen Gods by Velvet_Raven
Fandoms: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Video Game)
19 Jun 2025
Tags
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.

Poison Either Way by VixenOfCadmea

Summary
“So tell me, Rook.” He sets his glass down, the crystal tapping gently against the wood with a soft clink. “Is this the life you chose… or the one you were left with?”
A memory rises, unbidden: the two of them, younger then, hands still unbloodied, lying in a field gone gold in the late summer light. He turns to her and agrees she'd be his queen. Not a dare, not a game, but promise in those ocean blue eyes of his.
---
Rook didn’t marry for love—she married for power, for position, for the illusion of control. But Viago has always seen past illusions. They were raised side by side, sharpened into weapons by the same cruel hands. He knows her ambition by heart, just as she knows his own hunger for power.Loyalty is costly. Desire is a dangerous game. And in the Antivan Crows, it’s poison either way.
For the Viago Week prompt: Talon or King.

Summary
Join me as I go a little feral making stuff up about Antivan Crows and our favorite throuple-before-they-were-three.
Because — explicitly: f—# the canon backstory for Crow!Rook and Lucanis. This Rook and Lucanis have got history. Decades of it. (And y’all: the pining has been mutual. For decades.)
She’d been weeks gone from their little assassins’ nest by this time last year and though he’d somehow known she’d never return the moment he saw the scattered chess pieces… he’d still waited there the night of her birthday, with a book on wyverns as a gift and a canister of hot chocolate.
(He’d left both book and canister behind, never returning again to confirm their receipt — he’s too afraid to see these things covered in the dust of Rook’s indifference.)
(And he is realizing: his thirteenth birthday will be even lonelier than his twelfth.)

Summary
So she left the Diamond, Lucanis and Taash flanking her without a word. Their presence was steadying, grounding her as they moved through the narrow alleys and into the heart of the market district. As they approached Café Pietra, the hairs on the back of Rook’s neck rose. A prickle of instinct. The kind of silence that meant something. The warm fragrance of coffee and pastries was gone. No quiet laughter, no clink of cups or murmur of midday conversation. Just stillness. And that uneasy weight curling in her gut like smoke.
"I don't like this, Rook," Lucanis said quietly, his voice barely more than a breath at her ear as she hesitated before the café's door. His hand found the small of her back, steady and firm - a silent anchor. She stiffened at the contact, then exhaled slowly, her shoulders loosening just enough for the tension to bleed out through her fingertips.
“I know,” she murmured. Her gloved hand hovered over the iron handle, her eyes narrowing as she studied the frosted glass. No sound from within. No scent of coffee or wine. Only the faint scent of oil and steel. Something was wrong.

Summary
Bryony’s feet ached, her heeled boots chafing after a long shift. But her coin pouch was heavy with the evening’s tips, and there was only a little longer to go.
Dreaming fondly of her bed, she was carrying a tray of empty glasses to the back when her friend Jade pulled her into a quiet nook. Standing close behind her, she used Bryn’s hips to orient her in the direction she wanted her to look.
“Who is he?” she asked.
“Lucanis Dellamorte." Jade purred with no small amount of satisfaction.
-----
It begins on a night like any other, and yet... and yet.
Once they fall into each other's orbit, they are unable to pull away. Both with something the other desperately needs, Bryony and Lucanis enter into a mutually beneficial arrangement that naturally turns into something more.

It's the Fade, but it's not huge. Sometimes you have to take advantage of rooms while you can.
(Listen, this is entirely self-indulgent fluff. There's no plot, no growth. Just Rook and Lucanis making out like teenagers. They didn't get to kiss much on the game, so I've filled in the gaps with cotton candy stuffing and thank you for understanding🙏🏻)
