    Summary

    If her team saw her now, she’d never live it down. But this wasn’t about pride—it was about necessity.

    Solas stopped abruptly, turning to face her. His sharp, piercing gaze caught hers, and for a moment, Rook hesitated. Her breath faltered under the weight of his scrutiny. Slowly, she dropped her eyes to the ground and released her grip on his cloak.

    “I swear fealty to you,” she said. “I will be your blade, if you’ll allow it. I know I’ve kept things from you—my story, even my name—but I swear that whatever knowledge I have, it could aid your cause. This I swear.”

    She raised her eyes to meet his again, and to her surprise, Solas’s composure cracked. His mouth fell slightly ajar, and he stared at her as if she had just done something unfathomable.

    Without waiting for a response, Rook drew her blade from its sheath.

    “What are you—” Solas began, but the words faltered as she sliced the edge of the blade across her palm. A sharp hiss escaped her lips as blood seeped over her skin.

    or

    Rook ends up in the past in the middle of Solas’ rebellion. Not sure how she got there, she decides to ally herself with the Dreadwolf in hopes of somehow changing the future.

    Summary

    A slow burn novelization of Lucanis and Rook falling in love that will follow the events of the game, with some unique twists of my own. Plenty of angst and tension, with plans for lots of comfort and fluff later on. Some of the cutscenes from the game will be included, but the majority will be events that take place outside of those. The first chapter takes place just before the Big Decision in Act 1, after the coffee date.

    Summary

    Looking for a Lucanis fic with WAY more longing and tension and payoff than the game gave us?

    Lucanis never forgot the beautiful woman he saw with Illario on the night that turned his world upside down, never forgot the inexplicable feeling that their fates were tied up together. When destiny finally brought them together, he found it impossible to escape the unfamiliar feelings she inspired in him... and in Spite. It felt impossible that someone who had once fallen for his charming cousin could ever be interested in him, broken as he was.

    Aurelia always knew she'd meet the Demon of Vyrantium, knew there was some sort of string tying them to each other, even after his cousin dashed her hopes and led to her getting sent away from Antiva. When her quest to save the world brought him to her, she knew that all her former interest in his cousin was a shadow compared to what she was capable of feeling. But would his loyalty to his family make it impossible for him to ever care for her in return?

    This will be a slow burn, angsty romance with fluff and all the longing and "almosts" your heart could wish for. Some added context: Rook has dated Illario in the past, and Spite has feelings for Rook too.

    Summary

    Inspired by the stories in the Minrathous papers, Bellara tries her hand at writing fiction. She asks Rook and Lucanis to read it and give feedback. The effect is...not quite what she expected.

    Thus begins a long dance of two lovesick puppies using fiction initially as an excuse to spend time together. There will be awkward moments, there will be tension, there will be angst - and of course - spicy smutty times.

    Spoilers pretty much the whole game and some character story arcs - trying to move through it chronologically and running this little story alongside the major events with focus on Lucanis and Rook.

    Main story now complete with epilogues.
