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.”

A series of vignettes depicting Emmrich and Rook’s strange little courtship from Manfred’s perspective. Tooth-rotting fluff in a most literal manner.

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.

Rook time travels. It makes things objectively worse.

Tale As Old As Time by enigmaticagentscully

Summary
“What we haven’t been able to figure out is why. Why you, why now? He hasn’t made any ransom demands. Do you have any idea why he did this? What he wants?”
“I know exactly what he wants. He wants to marry me.”Cassandra Pentaghast makes a poor damsel in distress. Varric Tethras is no knight in shining armour. But when the Seeker finds herself facing a fate worse than death in Tevinter, and Varric is the only one from the Inquisition who can help, they’ll have to find a way to work together if either of them want to see the light of day again. Even if the plan they come up with is a little...unconventional. Maybe fairytales can come true, if you give them a bit of a helping hand…
Featuring! A lot of disguises, Varric Die-Hard-ing it through a vent, dramatic dinner parties, general plotting and scheming, a cameo from everyone's second favourite Magister, and a truly astonishing number of fancy gowns.

Summary
Shepard looks around at the faces watching her, human and alien and reflective envirosuit plate, all her friends and coworkers and shipmates wearing a variety of concerned expressions, and braces herself for the inevitable. She sits down heavily in the space on the couch that she’s ushered towards, and sighs at length.
“Fine,” she says, scrubbing her hands over her face, “let’s just get this over with. I think I know what this is about. I know an intervention when I see one, and -“
“Actually,” Garrus says, calmly throwing something flat and rectangular toward her from where he’s sitting across from the couch. “This is a book club.”

Summary
Deep in the ruins of Eiselcross, when it's clear that the Mighty Nein aren't going to survive the battle they're in, Caduceus and Jester both cast Word of Recall. Jester's version of the spell is supposed to take her to her childhood bedroom in Nicodranas, the site of the very first shrine to the Traveler that ever existed.
Instead, Jester wakes up alongside Caleb in the freezing darkness of another Aeorian ruin: badly injured, exhausted, and with an emptiness in her head where the Traveler's magic used to be.

Summary
Footsteps pad down the hall and past the stairs. Actual footsteps. Verin can’t remember the last time he saw Essek walk on his own two feet. He feels a twisted knot form beneath his sternum; something isn’t right.
Thinking only of justice and restoring his family's honor after Essek's betrayal, Verin Thelyss finds something he never expected, an Essek he never expected. A mission for justice turns into a race against time and a family finds their world upended.

Summary
“Yes,” she said. She leaned across the coffee table and grabbed both his hands. “This is how you say it in Common: Do you want to marry me, Essek Thelyss?”
“Jester Lavorre,” Essek said. “I would be a fool to say no.”
---
Nothing Essek Thelyss does is safe. In the grand scheme of his life, marrying Jester Lavorre would be relatively low on the list of calculated risks, if it did not put the entire Mighty Nein in the category of things he might lose--and if he had any real idea what he might gain.

Summary
Jester says, “You made a greenhouse,” and Essek looks up.
Palms and figs and mangroves and tree ferns reach up for the ceiling, and a sourceless waterfall spills through them. The walkway spirals upward, clinging impossibly to the dangling roots of a banyan tree, and vanishes into the greenery. Everywhere there are flowers — dusky pink orchids and brilliant bromeliads, violet and yellow and red.
Essek takes a shaky breath. “I’ll show you your rooms.”
