    Summary

    "You're saying there's a title called Skullfucker instead?"

    "Rook!"

    A laugh leaves Rook, the smirk still there. "Alright, alright. So there's no high ranking title for such a thing... but I really thought you would have such a title."

    "I-You thought- Rook! What would give you such a vulgar thought?! You know we-"

    "You could do it to me."

    Summary

    "Their corpse proved quite stubborn."
    He presented her an opportunity, and she grasped at it in desperation.
    "I'm surprised, you're so very good at taming stubborn."
    Her playful attempt at schmoozing won a stiff snort, and nothing more.
    "Oh..." Breathed with a coy lilt, she feigned innocence that could have been believable, if she were anyone else. "Are you still cross with me?"
    Stealing another gulp, he sneered against it's bite. The strength of which smoked his voice to a heady resonant.
    "Back during your apprenticeship, when you disobeyed one of your superiors, or spoke back at them out of turn; in what manner did they see fit to punish you?"
    A preemptive attack from which she was slow to recover.
    "I... got a good tongue lashing." Her words were tight from a throat that fought against their release. "A common occurrence, I might add."
    "Just as I suspected." After a breath, he then angled a brow down into his drink. "The correction of your behavior falls into my lap after all."

    Summary

    It wasn’t that they both knew that this section - regardless of how serene it was - was ultimately open to the public and anybody could happen by them at any time, though that had its own ribald appeal…

    No, it was for the very fact that Emmrich ‘I-Choose-My-Words-Carefully’ Volkarin did nothing accidentally and left no room for coincidence when his actions were called into question.

    An expanded imagining of the Act 3 romance scene with our gentleman necromancer: tooth-rottingly sweet, but cheek-reddeningly smutty too. Includes some freaky Fade-magic because you know Emmrich is into that sort of thing.

    Summary

    Mourn Watch Rook, homesick and a little lost, unexpectedly finds a kindred spirit in Professor Emmrich Volkarin. Emmrich, instantly charmed but hopelessly overthinking, convinces himself to keep his distance—even as his feelings quietly threaten to give him away. Meanwhile, the rest of the Veilguard looks on in mounting exasperation as the two obliviously tiptoe around their feelings, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge what’s painfully obvious to everyone else.

    Summary

    With each new decision made Rook can feel the burden of leadership weigh on her like a noose quickly tightening. The days are daunting but at least they’re real and there’s tangible proof that she’s not alone. But at night in the oppressive silence there’s only the horrors of what might have been. In each shadow a damnation.

    Can Emmrich and Lucanis show Rook that she’s not alone? That their love isn’t conditional or bound to break when things get rough.

    Her inner strength might be waning but that isn’t all she is. Right?

    Summary

    "For the manipulation of time you must relax, and allow your senses to unfocus," instructs Emmrich. "The power is there, waiting to be perceived, but it requires a free and open mind." His hand sweeps over the curve of her hips, along the length of her thighs, skating upwards to settle between her legs.

    "Mmmm," Rook hums, her throat vibrating as though she is one of his precious handbells, rung just so. "That feels good."

    Emmrich chuckles. "A bolt of inspiration has just struck me," he says. "An idea, one which may earn your approval, for once."

    Rook tries and fails to learn the spell of Time Slowing from the Veilguard's resident Fade expert, until her teacher stumbles upon an unconventional approach.

    Summary

    Love at first sight is reserved for the bards, the poets, and the fools. An argument can be made that bards and poets are fools, but that has little significance here. For the rest, love betides after a cumulation of moments that embraces all the senses.

    However, for Emmrich Volkarin, though he hadn’t been privy at the time, it was mere happenstance that love began with sight.

    A small tale about love.

    Summary

    “Hi Manfred,” Rook says. “Nice to meet you!”
    Rook looks like most people look. She is person-shaped and has a head with hair, but beneath that, she is brimming with curiosity. He feels drawn to her, in the same way he had been drawn to Emmrich once – when Manfred was shiny and small and not yet called Manfred. He has a good feeling about this. It’s new. It's exciting. He already agrees with her.
    Nice to meet you too! he hisses.

    ***

    Short and sweet scenes showing Manfred’s perspective on events of the Veilguard, and on the budding romance between Emmrich and Rook.

    Summary

    "My name is Alistair. I'm an almost-templar, a full-time Grey Warden and a royal bastard... but, shush, this is actually a secret. This is my story... although it's not alone about me... It's more like my version of how the most unlikely bunch of losers accidentally saves the world. And no, I'm not exaggerating. It's a tale worth being told and worth reading. It's pretty tragic, mind you, with lots of villains, treacherous bastards, dragons and more darkspawn than I can count. But also kinda funny... we laugh more than you would expect. And you're going to meet the most ravishing, beautiful and cunning young woman ever... my woman. Maker's Breath, she's amazing! And she's the reason why this story contains a whole lot of... lamppost licking... err... Now, why don't you just read it while I stand over there until the blushing stops, yes?"

    Alistair's POV of the events during the Fifth Blight and his love for the Cousland Warden. The story follows the game with lots of extras.

    Rated explicit for what happens after chapter 28. Before, oh, well, you know this is about adorably woo-less Alistair, so what else to expect?

    Fan Art Collections Chapters 99 and 100.
