    Summary

    "Is everything all right?" Emmrich asks, as he enters the room. Rook doesn't turn from where she's pressed her forehead against the cool glass, so he leans into her back, his hands sliding down her arms to intertwine their fingers together.

    The answer seems obvious—why would she be doing this if everything was all right?—but she lies anyway, an impulse so immediate she gives in to it without a second thought. "Everything's fine."

    Rook struggles with the loss of duty and purpose.

    Summary

    In the quiet embrace of a rural Chantry, far from the political intrigues of the city, Revered Father Emmrich Volkarin arrives to find solace in simplicity. The village is peaceful, the people kind, and the Chantry itself a sanctuary of devotion. But it is Rook - sweet, caring, and hard working - who captures his attention. As the seasons change, so too does the quiet understanding between them, growing into something deeper, more tender, and far more complicated than either dared to imagine. In a world bound by duty and tradition, their connection becomes a fragile, sacred secret - one that challenges the very foundations of faith, love, and the vows that bind them.

    Summary

    “Oh, one day we'll get drunk together and trade old childhood war stories,” Rook says flippantly, in a gallant effort to break the tension. “I'm sure Tevinter blood mages are just as inventive with raising children as a Crow.” There's a jesting tone to her voice, but Lucanis recognizes a small, nearly imperceptible quaver. She'll hide it, make jokes about it, but there is a bone-deep fear there under her voice he's been trained to listen for. To find the vulnerabilities in a mark. He would never use this against Rook, but his training, too, is bone-deep.

    Rook and Lucanis are more traumatized by their pasts before the Lighthouse than either would care to admit to. Slavery, Crow training, the Ossuary. Emmrich reaches out to both of them, and against the odds, they all manage to fall for each other and perhaps even heal each other along the way.
