    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

    In Emmrich’s experience, people (and spirits) came in many varieties. But fundamentally, there were only two that mattered: those who could be trusted to borrow a book and return it in pristine condition…

    …and those like Rook.

    (A series of vignettes about finding love in the margins with the help of books, a pig, some flowers, a harpsichord, and a couple of rhyming teacups.)

    Summary

    Rook’s face muscle pulled as she said goodnight. The movement made Emmrich's face muscles pull as well. This, Manfred was certain, was called “equation.”

    Summary

    Rook wasn’t supposed to be here. No, really—she wasn’t supposed to be here. The Inquisition wasn’t supposed to even be on her radar—the Rook that existed then wasn’t even called Rook, and still was learning how to cast spells.

    And yet, Solas is looking at her. Not the Solas she knows, either.

    or

    Rook time travels. It makes things objectively worse.
