  1. Summary

    A series collection for all my Dreadrook One Shots inspired by the daily Dreadtober 2025 prompts. And yes, only the first One Shot was successfully posted during the actual event.

    Each One Shot follows the same Rook but takes place in its own separate continuity. You do not need to have read any of the others in order to enjoy one.

    Summary

    Written for Queer Solas x Inquisitor Week

    Solas, he had named himself, blinking in the harsh light with two eyes that saw so much less than he had seen as a spirit, as the shining stone had shaken and he had felt the beginning tremors that sowed the seeds of destruction. He had made himself a man, in his pride, in his confidence and arrogance had felt that he could be a better man than Elgar’nan. He had wanted to touch the world with gentle hands, formed to create, rather than to crush, and it was his hands that had formed first, reaching from the shining stone for Mythal’s own, and she had helped to pull him forth into a world too bright and yet too dull.

    He was minded suddenly of the desperate clutch of his own new hand as yet tender and un-calloused in Mythal’s rougher one, flailing blindly for some purchase to the familiar in his new body, remembered the aching loneliness of the absence of that touch when he had woken from uthenera.

    “Ir abelas,” he murmured, as he squeezed the hand back gently. This survivor had been the first one to touch him since he had woken and perhaps he felt some small bit of comfort of his own at this clinging touch that seemed to trust him to help.

    Summary

    The utter classic 1999 film The Mummy reimagined: Wise-cracking, gun-slinging adventurer Eleanor 'Nell' Lavellan leads librarian/Evanurist Dr Solas Raine and his loveable lout brother Felassan to the Black City, rumoured to be where God-King Elgar'nan hoarded the wealth of the ancient Elvhenan empire. Dr Raine puts little stock in the whisperings of the place being protected by an evil undead, and it seems it might be up to Nell to ensure they all make it out of this alive.

    This piece uses a custom workskin just to give it some fun flair, but please feel free to turn it off using the 'Hide Creators Style' button on the top toolbar.

    Summary

    Nadia does not belong here, but she was not given a say in the matter. Plucked from her world and stuffed into a position not-quite made for her, she takes up the mantle of Raven: leader of the Veilguard, sole force in opposition of the blighted Evanuris, and unlikely ally of the Dread Wolf. 
    But she knows the story of the Veilguard, and she is no Rook. She does not think in straight lines. She thinks in metaphors and circles and bleeds understanding as though someone cut it from her veins with a dagger. She was sent here for a reason, she's certain, but with each positive change she attempts to make, Fate retaliates with a vengeance that sends her to her knees. 
    Thankfully, she does not kneel alone. She discovers an unexpected kinship with Solas, who knows intimately how difficult it is to lose everything one has ever known. As their bond deepens, so does the connection between Raven and this new world she's found herself in. She wants to save it. She wants to save him. But will he allow it? Will their love for one another be enough to convince him to turn away from his regrets and see this world with him in it? Will it even matter if Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain blight the whole of Thedas before the final bell tolls?
