    Summary

    Lucanis’s eyes slid over the corpses with an outward coolness, but the way his fists clenched and how his jaw ground betrayed the fury curdled inside him. “Very few survive Calivan’s ‘rehabilitation.’”
    “You did,” Rook answered gently, though her gaze had already snagged on the central table. A sound – a rasping, fragile moan – came from the figure chained there.
    The elf before her barely resembled one. His face was a swollen ruin, blood and grime matting what remained of his hair. Both ears had been crudely clipped down to rounded nubs, skin around them raw and jagged. His vallaslin tattoos had been flayed away, carved from his flesh with such deliberate cruelty that only scar tissue remained. His ribs jutted sharp through torn skin, chest heaving with the shallow panic of breath. Shackles bent his arms backward at an angle meant to break joints. His legs ended in blackened stumps at the knees, cauterized in ugly burns.

    This is a rewrite (kinda) of Veilguard with added scenes and more NPC interactions as well as a deeper look into Lucanis, Rook, and Spite's relationship (I've updated the first few chapters)

    Summary

    Spoilers for Lucanis' personal companion quest, particularly the Murder of Crows quest.

    Inspired by the recently released Nick Thornborrow concept illustrations that were released showing some very intriguing concepts they didn’t go with, like Rook and Lucanis in a lake in Treviso?! In this reimagining of a world where we got the lake scene, our lovers have already done the ‘commit to a relationship cutscene’ but Rook is still a bit unsure where that leaves them. Sure, he made her a dessert and remembered her drink… but are they actually together? And something I think a bit more exciting happens after his ‘I’ve got other plans for the evening’ tease.

    A very quick, minimally edited writing exercise that wouldn’t let me continue my day until I wrote it. No specific faction or class mentions, so this Rook can be faceless and anyone's Rook hopefully.

    Summary

    "Smells different," Spite commented, glaring at Lucanis as though her scent were his fault. "Like caramel. Soft." His mouth split in a grin. "She wants you. Us. Wake her!"

    "No!" The word escaped Lucanis before he could keep it in. "Leave her be, Spite. Let her sleep."

    The demon was wrong. Had to be wrong. Letting himself believe that Rook wanted him was too dangerous for both of them. Spite was his only possible future, and he couldn't afford to hope for anything more...

    Summary

    “I can vouch for him,” Cyborg said, sitting up straighter. “We’ve worked together before. I can’t promise he’d want the job though. He works out of Bludhaven, last I checked.”

    Dinah perked up from where she was slumped against the table next to Oliver. “That’s next to Gotham. Batman, what do you know?”

    All eyes immediately turned to where Batman sat with his arms crossed, looking impassive as always. There was a long moment of silence and the corners of Batman’s mouth turned ever so slightly downward. Finally, in a flat tone of voice that gave no more away than his face ever did, he said, “He’s… well trained. Fast. Could be useful.”

    ...

    Also known as, the League eventually figured out that Nightwing is Batman's son, but it takes a while.
