Summary
A not-quite-friends-at-first with benefits story where our favorite awkward Commander ends up becoming a little fonder of one Dorian Pavus than he initially intended.
-
He could’ve said no, really. Let life happen in the easy way it does, letting it herd him from one task to another through the Inquisition; busying himself with work and war and weariness. That’s what he’s always been good at, so why change something that he knew was reliable. That’s what Cullen told himself as a hand rubbed across the back of his neck, grabbing gently at the curls to bring his face closer.

Falling Fearless by seeinblackandwhite
Fandoms: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Video Game), Dragon Age (Video Games)
03 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
A story in which Rook is too fast, and too reckless, and hopelessly in love. (Mostly) Canon-compliant chronological telling of Veilguard in vignettes, primarily focused around Emmrich-related quests, and building Rook into the man that falls for his necromancer.
Rook had never been afraid of falling.
Rook wasn’t sure what might suit him as well as a whitler’s haven suited Davrin, but he knew what was missing. Warmth. Given the choice, Rook would have surrounded himself in autumn tones, warm cherry woods and piles of cushions, and a fire place. What did it mean that the lighthouse seemed not to know him?
“It is a fine spot for contemplation.” Emmrich’s voice was one of few he was always glad to hear. It was unusual enough that he gave himself a moment to be calm, to breathe, and the company seemed a fine reward. “I do hope I’m not interrupting.”

Summary
The main trouble, Emmrich has recently surmised, is not that he has a lack of desire.
No, no.
He is insensate with desire. He burns with it, every bone and muscle and sinew keening with hot, twisting yearning. He feels like a strummed string instrument, singing a silent desperate tone that never fades.Emmrich struggles with his reservations, fears and insecurities. Rook is patient up to a point.

Summary
"For months, I merely registered an unnamed discomfort at the idea of clapping him on the shoulder or fixing his tie. As our friendship deepened, I realized that without knowing it, I had been guarding myself from acting out my growing love for the man."
Holmes shows his affection through touch (until one day he doesn’t). Watson doesn't know what to make of it (until one day he does).
