    Summary

    Wren "Rook" Laidir isn't hero material.

    Sihu "Rook" Mercar never meant to stray so far from the city she's sworn to.

    And Lucanis Dellamorte never meant to tether his heart to anything at all, much less a pair of strangers racing against the apocalypse, but the heart wants what it wants.

    A retelling of the Veilguard where instead of one, two Rooks take to the chessboard.

    Summary

    A beat, a breath, and Ashur finished, “tell me your sins, that I may pray on your behalf.”

    “Oh, I’m certainly trembling,” a familiar voice responded from the other side of the curtain. A sweet, smooth baritone just above a whisper. “Do you pray for me, truly? Do you think it’ll do me any good, or am I a lost cause?”

    Summary

    Calliope “Rook” de Riva is many things: snarky, chaotic, and a little awkward. In other words, she’s not the best crow, but when stopping Solas’ ritual releases two blighted gods, it didn’t matter if she was a good Crow. Instead, Rook now has to figure out how to stop two dangerous ancient elves, deal with one bald-headed asshole, learn to lead a team, carry her own emotional baggage, and figure out her growing feelings for a certain broody Crow.

    Summary

    Tarquin doesn’t even think twice about it—something seems to snap within him. He marches right up to Ashur and slams their mouths together with a cut-off grunt, hands fisted in his cape as he hauls Ashur towards him.

    OR: After years of pining and wanting, Ashur and Tarquin finally do something about it. It turns out to be rather a lot.

    Summary

    After the Blighted dragon retreats, Ashur returns to the safehouse to find it ransacked and the corruption already singing in his blood. Tarquin finds him in the wreckage, refusing to leave even as Ashur begins to unravel. Between the smell of ash and the weight of old warnings, they hold fast to each other in the dark and try, for one night, not to let go.

    Summary

    If you had told Sebastian Vael that he would end up on the streets of Tevinter, without a title or a sovereign to his name, he probably would have laughed and gone back to attempting to annex Kirkwall.

    Taken in by the Shadow Dragons, he ends up finding respite in its leader.

    Summary

    “I know it will hurt, but… I promise I’ll be fine.”

    What he’s not saying, what Tarquin can so plainly hear in the slight waver of his voice, is that he's afraid of doing something wrong. Not of the pain or of making a mistake in choosing to get a tattoo, but of having a bad experience due to his own fault. He needs a tattoo beyond just having beautiful ink for whatever his reasons are, and he’s afraid of messing it up. Ashur needs to be good, and he needs Tarquin to deem him so.

    Tarquin has never had a client quite like Ashur.

    Summary

    Though they were rare these days, alphas and omegas were a known quantity in Thedas. It was an affliction exclusive to the elves, one in which an elf might be born with additional sex characteristics.

    [...]

    Rook didn’t think about them much. He was a beta, after all, like most elves, and he had no inclination to learn about that part of his ancestry beyond what the Circle had taught him. 

    Maybe if he had, he would have been prepared for the events that transpired a few months into his conflict with the remaining Evanuris.

    Well after the age most elves would present, Rook discovers he's an omega.

    Summary

    What if "Dragon Age: The Veilguard" was not stuck in such a development hell? What if Project Joplin had not wholly been abandoned? What if we truly had received a game more in line with the first three?

    A hypothetical look into an alternate universe where the fourth Dragon Age had a tad fewer problems in its 10-year development cycle.

    Disclaimer: I don't hate the game, I actually think it's quite great given the development hell Bioware went through in those 10 years. This is more of a hypothetical universe where there was less of that behind-the-scenes drama. Just a fun writing exercise.

    Summary

    Dorian Pavus would like to catch a break. The Lucerni have crumbled, his best friend and long term ally has lost her seat in the Magisterium and the Antaam threaten like never before. A few weeks in Vyrantium should allow him to lie low and come up with a new plan of attack for wrangling the Imperium into reform. As long as no one kills him on the way there.

    Except, Mae has some new friends with some rather ridiculous pseudonyms, and they’ve got some allies that Dorian never expected - or wanted - to meet again, let alone travel with.

    The Blue Wraith has a reputation in Tevinter, and a target in Vyrantium. It makes sense for them to travel together, to work together. If they don’t kill each other, first.

    Summary

    A year drowning in the neverending nightmare. A demon twisting his insides, scraping his skull raw. Bloody fingers touching, twisting, pulling, until nothing of him remained. A year of crushed hopes and shattered dreams.

    And two Tevinter mages that came to pull him out. One human. One Qunari. Both strangely helpful in a place that should have been his tomb.

    Lucanis didn't even know how this was his life anymore.

    Summary

    Watching the Blight Tendril toss Ashur across the square, Tarquin realized he could have lost him.

    He could have lost the man he loved.

    Maybe now was the time to finally admit it aloud.

    Summary

    "You stole Zara Renata's executioner?"

    Rook fidgeted under her friend's gaze. Unsure what the response here was (this was her first kidnapping, unintentional as it may be), she gave a small shrug and settled for a small, "Oops?"

    --

    Or in a timeline where Solas never set out to tear down the Veil, how things might play out for a small rebel group in Minrathous where a Hunger demon ends up helping out.

    Or at what point is the delulu too strong? When you've created an alternative AU of your own AU?
