   Summary

   This fic was inspired by the video game Wanderstop.

   Evara "Rook" Mercar, a former operative of the elite Shadow Dragons. Has walked away from a life built on blood, precision, and unrelenting usefulness. After a near-fatal mission and being forced into burnout recovery, Rook retreats to the remnants of her childhood—her late parents' tea shop, “The Veil & Vine,” long preserved by her estranged brother Solas.

   Now, a few years later, she is Rook Ingellvar who lives quietly in the city's magical district as a tea shop owner. There she meets Professor Emmrich Volkarin, a respected forensic anthropologist with a gift for corpse whispering and an all-time tea lover. He is invited to Minrathous as a guest lecturer.
