    Summary

    Once upon a time, a gentleman necromancer met a Rook. Together, they fought blighted gods, battled darkspawn and thwarted world-ending threats. But he never expected to find love at the end of the world.
    With the gods slain and their duties fulfilled, Emmrich Volkarin brought his Rook home. Together, they built a quiet life. For a time, all was well. His life’s work was complete. He had thwarted Death itself, ascended as one of the few liches of the Necropolis, and gained a soulmate – a wife whose soul burned brighter than any star.
    Before she passed, Rook left him with one final request, 'never change, keep moving, keep loving'. Emmrich had thought he would be prepared when she finally slipped away – that he would be strong enough to carry the memory of their life together.
    Oh how wrong he was. Though her body is gone, Emmrich finds himself encountering different versions of Rook.
    As he forms new relationship with each apparition, his finds himself questioning his long-held beliefs about mortality and immortality.
    Can Emmrich's humanity withstand the test of time?

    Summary

    The sequel to Secrets, Silence, & Sorrow.

    Happily Ever After suits Emmrich and Sastry well. They are learning to enjoy the peace.

    But nothing lasts forever. And perhaps what happened at Blackthorn was not the end but only the beginning.

    Summary

    Emmrich Volkarin spirals into despair when he faces his biggest regret: choosing to save Manfred instead of pursuing Lichdom. When all else fails, he seeks the counsel of his old friend, Johanna Hezenkoss.

    -

    Emmrich remained in the bath for an unspecified period, basking in the silence, detaching from reality, tangling himself in possible timelines where he hadn’t forsaken Lichdom. In contrast allowing Manfred to rest—as it should’ve been, what was the natural order of things—remorseless at how often he’s brooded over his biggest mistake. He had been so close to his aspirations, moments away from grasping it, cradling it in his palms, from savouring the sweet taste of athanasia. All the years of work wasted by a mere lapse in judgement. How could he have been so pliant, bringing in a stranger to help him make such a momentous decision?

    Summary

    Late-bloomer college student Evie Ingellvar (25) is banking on the money selling her eggs at a high-end fertility clinic to pay her tuition and to keep a roof over her and Franny’s (7) heads for the next few years. This single mom isn’t looking for romance or anything to be handed to her.

    Emmrich (early 50’s) is a successful doctor, fresh out of an amicable divorce (Johanna was always more of a friend than wife) looking to expand his family through surrogacy to give his young son Manfred (4) a playmate.

    In an internal fuck-up of eye-watering lawsuit proportions Jane-the-Virgin-style, Evie ends up not only donating her eggs but also being artificially inseminated by Emmrich’s sample.

    All I can imagine, once they both get past the shock and horror, is Emmrich being the doting, supportive partner Evie never asked for but secretly longed for. Like he keeps calling/texting her asking if she needs anything, if she is taking the vitamins he had delivered to her house, and how she’s feeling.

    Summary

    A second chance romance AU of my lichfic An Enduring Affection where Emmrich becomes a lich but he gets to keep Manfred.

    The cost? He remembers nothing about Rook, or his recent adventures. This is…all sorts of problematic. For so many reasons. He’s gonna have to win her heart back after unintentionally breaking it.
