    Summary

    This fic was inspired by the video game Wanderstop.

    Evara "Rook" Mercar, a former operative of the elite Shadow Dragons. Has walked away from a life built on blood, precision, and unrelenting usefulness. After a near-fatal mission and being forced into burnout recovery, Rook retreats to the remnants of her childhood—her late parents' tea shop, “The Veil & Vine,” long preserved by her estranged brother Solas.

    Now, a few years later, she is Rook Ingellvar who lives quietly in the city's magical district as a tea shop owner. There she meets Professor Emmrich Volkarin, a respected forensic anthropologist with a gift for corpse whispering and an all-time tea lover. He is invited to Minrathous as a guest lecturer.

    Summary

    Emmrich stood at the podium bathed in a golden wash of stage lights, guiding the MournWatch Symphony Orchestra into the first measures of Daphnis et Chloé. The small green skull that crowned his baton caught the light as it carved arcs through the air. At his signal the strings entered, and Emmrich’s mouth softened into a smile as he coax sound from silence.

    Summary

    Niklas Ingellvar has been acting for nearly a decade now.

A chance meeting at Lady Myrna's dinner allows Niklas to meet his most fantastic idol who invites him to audition for the role opposite of Emmrich's return.

    Summary

    After Rook is murdered, Emmrich Volkarin seeks revenge against those responsible. And unfortunately for Johanna Hezenkoss, she's compelled to accompany him.

    -

    The sacrifices. The unremitting toil. The distress to the mind, body, and spirit. All for the sake of Thedas, for their life in communion once the Veil had been sealed. To have had Rook taken so violently in yet another act of selflessness. Of course she couldn’t have just stood idly by. Of course she would’ve charged straight towards peril, lacking any prudence. Of course Emmrich had foolishly assumed her heroics had terminated, that she had left that part of herself behind, floating aimlessly in the Lighthouse’s ceaseless orbit. And what benefits did her sacrifice bring forth this time? No more than a handful of mortals saved, the rest perishing, and the murderers still at liberty. A waste, the capricious fingers of fate always squeezing, taking, having never released their grip from Rook’s neck.

    Summary

    Calliope “Rook” de Riva is many things: snarky, chaotic, and a little awkward. In other words, she’s not the best crow, but when stopping Solas’ ritual releases two blighted gods, it didn’t matter if she was a good Crow. Instead, Rook now has to figure out how to stop two dangerous ancient elves, deal with one bald-headed asshole, learn to lead a team, carry her own emotional baggage, and figure out her growing feelings for a certain broody Crow.

    Summary

    In the wake of gods undone and a world reshaped, Rook, Emmrich, and Lucanis are left to navigate the quiet after the storm. Their wounds run deep, but their bond runs deeper. The past isn’t finished with them, and the future demands more than survival. It starts with Rook deciding to pull Illario out of prison to take them on a Lords job, but with family, nothing is as easy as it seems. With Spite at their side and a web of contracts tugging at their seams, they’re thrust into waters as treacherous as any battlefield. Will their trust in each other and their determination to stay together hold against so many obstacles? Illario's got a long road ahead of him, and Xiqaa may have bit off more than they can chew.

    To hold on to the family they’ve forged, they’ll have to decide what they’re willing to risk—and shape who they’re trying to become.

    Summary

    Three years after saving Thedas, Lestat is no longer the hero the world remembers. Victory has hollowed him out, his name heavy with expectation. Treviso, a city of masks and quiet cruelty where no one asks who you were, only what you can endure. Treviso feels like refuge. Ordered. Predictable. Lucanis offers structure where chaos once lived. Lestat, exhausted and unraveling, mistakes control for safety. But safety rots. Obedience becomes language. Stillness becomes survival. Slowly, carefully, Lestat is taught how to disappear while still breathing. By the time Treviso is done with him, his sense of self reduced to what he is allowed to be. When Emmrich finds him, Lestat does not run into his arms. He kneels. What follows is not rescue, but unlearning, a fragile process where love must exist without commands, ownership, fear. Emmrich’s devotion will be tested not by distance, but by proximity. Every flinch, apology, every moment Lestat offers himself because he believes that is all he is for. Treviso is a gilded cage, and Lucanis a shadow that lingers in muscle and memory. This is a story about survival after survival has already cost everything. About rebuilding love from silence, patience, and the brutal act of staying.

    Rook awakes in the night to something unexpected. Demons are naughty, Lucanis is pining, Taash is amused. There's pie, if anyone wants some.

    Summary

    Several years after the events of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Rook is happily married to her Emmrich. As they begin to grow their family, a new threat surfaces, apparently fixated on Rook, and her children.

    This Rook is Lilya (Ingellvar) Volkarin, an elven Necropolis crypt baby turned Mourn Watcher. She is more of a combat mage than a necromancer, and she favours lightning spells. ;)

    Summary

    “So, kid–-” an older dwarf with long grayish-dirty blond hair sat down with a huff and kicked his feet up onto the table “--I hear you like stories. I’ve got one for you, if you don’t mind.” There was a long pause as he took in the atmosphere and drank some ale. “How about I spin you a tale of an unfortunate young man I call “Rook” and his journey to save the world? Sounds simple enough, right?” He chuckled to himself as he swirled the golden, bubbly liquid in his tankard. “That’s what I thought too. Turns out, this hero shit’s way over my head.” He took another sip of ale. “Look, I know what you’re thinking: ‘Haven’t we heard this story a thousand times?’ And the answer is: Maybe. But, that’s the best part about stories. You can spin the same one a thousand times and never come to the same conclusion. Sometimes, those conclusions aren’t always happy.”

     

    Canon events from Veilguard are followed fairly closely early on, alongside partial canon rewrites in different areas. I'm not satisfied with how some of the story is written, so I decided to take it upon myself to flesh out my Rook more with some canon-divergence thrown in--more overall as the story progresses. This is also a multi-AU fic of sorts. Enjoy!

    Summary

    Ten years ago, Ivy “Rook” Ingellvar broke the one rule her parents had: she entered The Shrouded Halls.
    Deep within she discovered a skeleton possessed by a spirit of curiosity. Believing it abandoned, she rescued it from the grasp of a Lich and brought it home. Ever since that night, The Grand Necropolis has been plagued with earthquakes and shadows always seem to linger where they shouldn’t.

    The dead are restless.
