Summary
Nora thought she and Solas were going to restore Elvhenan and ride off into the sunset. Instead, she wound up in the Ossuary—imprisoned, experimented on, and turned into a demon factory.
Now she’s loose with terrifying new abilities she barely understands, a Blight spreading like wildfire, and a pair of elvhen gods dead set on world domination. Add in some unfinished Inquisition baggage, and her plate’s more than full.
Good thing she’s made some new friends.
If only they didn’t think she was the enemy.

Summary
Their resistance was starting to come together, she thought. She didn’t need an army or spies, even though it would be nice, what she needed was a network, and the people that had already saved Thedas once before were stepping up to help her save it again.
~
She leaned her head against his chest, listening to the sound of his heart pounding beneath her cheek. She wanted to memorise the feeling, the sound, in case the mission went sideways. She hated herself for what she was about to ask him to do. “Ar isalan na to gara galin tor vis min goes telam.” I need you to get everyone out if this goes wrong.
~
I really wanted to expand on the feeling of regrets and how Solas uses that to manipulate Rook into taking his place. The consequences of Rook's choices will be featured and explored. I intend to recount the game and fill in some gaps, reintroduce lore from the old games and add scenes I thought were missing, like breaks after major missions (HELLO, ROMANCED COMPANION DURING PRISON OF REGRETS). It's as lore-accurate as possible to the old games, but I have taken some liberties. Characters from old games will have bigger roles to play. Rated E for eventual smut.

Summary
This Fanfic revolves around Rook de Riva and Lucanis Dellamorte. I will cover Rook's full background, where he met Lucanis 3 times- once in childhood, once as a teenager and once as a man. The fic involves main quests from Veilguard, with small changes I made and more Rook-Lucanis content. All chapters are bite sized, don't be alarmed by the long background story! The story itself and the romance is longer.
***To avoid the background episodes, skip to chapter 13***

Summary
This is the sequel to More of a Rook than a Crow, which in turn is technically a sequel to Dragon Age the Veilguard. This means major spoilers for Veilguard!
Thedas is saved, which means that Isabella can return to the fold as Lucanis begins his new work as well. However, with a strange letter addressed to her at Villa Dellamorte, she is asked to discuss something that Viago was hoping to sweep under the rug.
The King of Antiva has learned that Rook was a Crow, and Rook has been summoned for an audience with the King. Only, Isabella hasn't gone by that name for several months and very few people knew who Rook really was. Is it a trap, or does the King really just want to extend his personal thanks to her for saving the world?
And when cloaked figures appear to pave the path for those from across the sea, it seems that Isabella might need to get the Veilguard back together to find out exactly what is going on.

Summary
In the corridor was a sign, weathered and rusted, but poignant all the same. TO DEFILE A GRAVE IS TO DEFILE THE MAKER. And yet, with each passing year in university, notes of certain students would become increasingly detailed. Incredibly rendered tendons and muscle structures, pages and pages of fine charcoal drawings of bones tilted in all manners of articulation. When questioned, these students would simply say they did the drawings during regular study, when they were given access to official cadavers all while picking dirt from their fingernails. And the faculty would simply turn a blind eye, because what evidence did they truly have? And if they benefitted from the knowledge gained, well there was no point in wasting such an opportunity.
Grave robbing is the well-known secret of top anatomy students, and Emmrich Volkarin is behind in his studies

Summary
It all weaves together in her mind like shimmering golden threads forming a pattern that she can trace over and follow closely. Around and around, upward and back. She untangles it all, smoothing out the snarls, before lacing it back together once more. That nagging feeling in the recess of her mind grows more insistent. Same as the one she would often get in Arlathan; a precursor to the catastrophic eruption of an artifact or the heralding sign of a disturbance in the Fade just before it manifested into an anomaly. That niggling indication of trouble.

The events of Bloodbath take a turn, a mystery unfolding before the Veilguard as House Dellamorte becomes a battleground.Series
