Summary
“Thank you.”
He barely caught it — the soft breath of thanks — yet it was still a struggle not to flinch away; to apologise for the situation they found themselves in. “Get some rest,” Lucanis murmured into Emmrich’s nape instead. Weak yet even breaths followed as Emmrich seemed to doze off, the worrying rattle from earlier thankfully absent. He didn’t look forward to the awkward conversation they would have to have, but if Emmrich was still alive to have it, Lucanis would consider it a fair exchange.When a Venatori ambush leaves Lucanis and a wounded Emmrich trapped in the High Anderfels, they're forced to navigate the treacherous landscape in hopes of reuniting with their lost companions and the Grey Warden patrol they were meant to find. But the mountains hold more than storms and uncanny predators, and Lucanis must wrestle with a far more dangerous conflict: his fiercely guarded feelings for the very necromancer he has sworn to protect.

Summary
The Mourn Watch was all Ehren Ingellvar ever knew, from the day they were found in the crypts, to the day they were sent out to 'find themselves' after their controversial triumph at the War of the Banners. Even after, during their hunt for Solas, they only scantly heard of other factions.
That is, until they needed to hire a Crow to help save the world.
Then, their cold dead heart somehow ended up in the clutches of the Antivan Crow's most infamous mage killer, supposedly thought dead for a little over a year. How fitting for a Nevarran Necromancer.Little did Ingellvar know that not only would they find themselves balancing on a razor's edge in matters of life and love trying to find and kill their targets, but Ehren might find a little something more about themselves, but at what cost?

Summary
Sometimes the smallest choices can change everything.
Varric’s decision to hire a blood mage to stop Solas was one of them.This is the story of a Rook who isn’t quite what anyone expected. Morally gray and socially awkward, she has little interest in making friends. Enter an Antivan Crow, suspicious of her from the start, and suddenly her plans begin to unravel, threatening more than just her secrecy.
This is also the story of Lucanis Dellamorte, an assassin turned abomination, the last thing he wants is to work alongside the very kind of mage he once hunted. Enter his personal bane, who’s somehow the most tolerant person he’s ever known, and now he isn’t so sure if he should trust his instincts or his morals.
“You know,” she said, voice low as she raised her hand to gently brush the ridge of the dagger. “I don’t normally use other people's blood in my spells. But I do use my own. So if you’re ever going to try and kill me—” her fingers drifted to skim the blade’s edge, just shy of drawing blood, and Lucanis pulled back with a grunt. “—make sure to do it in one clean move. Or otherwise, without blood involved.”

Summary
Lucanis Dellamorte awakens in darkness, disoriented and shackled, with only fleeting fragments of memory. His mind is clouded, his body aching, and a throbbing pain behind his eyes warns him of blood magic at play. As his senses gradually return, so do the memories of the shipwreck - the storm, the panicked screams, and the ocean pulling him under.
And now, voices swirl around him, shapes coming into focus.
Then she speaks. Her touch is gentle. Her smile is way too sweet to trust. There is no doubt about it. Lucanis is in trouble.

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
Rusty as all get out with writing so these are Just smatterings of my various Rooks and their favorite assassin with a backseat complainer: Lucanis and Spite! I'm VERY new to the Dragon Age series and learning backwards starting from Veilguard, so these will most likely be probably self indulgent with sprinkles of canon here and there blurbs.

Summary
The payment for defeating blighted gods should be a few months to recover and at least fantasize about retirement. Instead, Rook and Lucanis must shoulder the weight of impossible expectations, navigate new strains on their evolving relationship, and cope with the fallout of an assassination attempt in Treviso that threatens to reopen every old wound. Couple that with Spite's increasingly erratic behavior... and it may be time to brew another pot of coffee.

Summary
Lucanis disliked the West. It was wild, hot, and dry. There were no good cafés, but mostly, it was crawling with Venatori.
Until the contract for Calivan, he’d seen them as little more than targets — easy bounties.
A year locked away in the Ossuary changed that. Now, he hated the West and every last member of that blood cult.
Escaping had nearly cost him his life. He needed medical attention, and worse, he had his own guardian demon named Spite. That was how they stumbled upon the mortician in a small town called Nevarra.
Emmrich was everything the Crows had trained Lucanis not to be — empathetic, merciful, and above all, kind. Lucanis owed him a debt for the healing, and over time, he learned how life in this strange town worked.
There was still revenge to take. Still contracts left unfulfilled.
But there was also Emmrich.
Maybe he didn’t hate the West as much as he thought.

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.
