    Summary

    Ellana Lavellan knew she had to act. Despite being disoriented from the sentinel’s magic blast, she had to stop him from destroying the Well. She saw the switch stir out of the corner of her eye to the left as they both charged the sentinel. Her elven strides shorter than the human woman’s just barely and she caught the sight of the knife. Barreling into Abelas with all her might, she tackled him away disrupting his ritual and felt a bit of pride at catching him off guard. The feeling quickly faded as something cold pierced her side and she felt hot pain in her ribs.
    Stumbling back from Abelas, she clutched her side. Her hand came back covered in blood. Ellana gasped, trying to catch her breath as her vision darken and hearing roared in her ears. Were the others screaming? What were they saying? Looking up from her hands, her eyes locked with the sentinel’s. Why was he reaching out looking panicked? Why did he care—
    She lost her footing on the edge of the Well and fell backwards. Water whooshed around her and filled her mouth and lungs before darkness claimed her.

    Summary

    [Takes place in an alternate universe where Solas never gave his orb to Corypheus and instead decided to seek out a way to unlock it himself]

    What if Solas never gave his orb to Corypheus? What if the conclave was never destroyed and Lavellan never became the Inquisitor? Deciding to temporarily join Lavellan’s clan on his own journey from Ferelden to Tevinter, Solas and Quiver find a common bond in their interest in the past and the way the world works. Something feels familiar to each of them, like a life that once was and never was before. All they know is they’re drawn to one another, just as danger and war seem to be drawn to them.

    Summary

    ━━━━
    ━━━━━━━━
    ━━━━━━━━━━━

    So many eyes, glowing at her. Elves– she thought, but they blinked simultaneously. Her heart stopped and she sat there motionless, for quite some time, unsure of whether to remain perfectly still or run…

    Run…

    She looked around, all around her, and she was surrounded. The eyes blinked again, looking larger than before.

    “Na Girem’lan.” The voices whisper from afar, prying, prodding. She feels the words on the nape of her neck, wrapping around her throat, slowly like a snake strangling its prey.

    “Telharthan! Vara u’em!” Her fear spills out of her and it cracks the silence. In its rupture, she hears claws hitting soil, scampering, running, and she’s at her feet. Her head whips around as she runs, trying to find a way out.

    There was a howl and standing an impossible length away from her she saw a wolf, head low and it walked slowly at a distance.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━

    This is a slow burn!! I mean it! It follows in game events closely!

    It also has a tie-in work called "Hearth" by me, Arlathian, that is through Solas' POV. <3

    Summary

    After the intense and grueling battle against Elgar'non, everything in Rook’s world goes to shit. The familiar landscape of her present fades away, and she suddenly finds herself thrust ten years into the past.

    Rook becomes a part of the Inquisition's ranks. She grapples with the complex motivations of the people around her, and, most importantly, with her own internal conflicts.

    Rook’s instincts tell her to distrust Solas. But, as she resists the magnetic pull of his charm and intellect, she finds herself wrestling with an unexpected emotional connection to him. Each encounter stirs a mix of admiration and wariness within her.

    Amid this turmoil, Rook resolves to seize this second chance. She is determined to thwart Solas's plan to tear down the veil, hoping to alter the course of history and prevent the catastrophic future she had previously witnessed. Torn between her mission and her growing feelings, Rook must navigate treacherous pathways, both in the world around her and within her own heart.

    Summary

    He tells her half-truths of the anchor and how she might close the rifts, assures Cassandra that though she is a mage, she is not capable of such extraordinary magic, and laughs genuinely when she asks if Varric is with the chantry. He makes himself fit in.

    The world is fractured beyond repair, these people are little more than tranquil, and the fade is locked behind his creation. If this woman, this interrupter with the markings of the all-mother is to be the key to their salvation, so be it. He has made more from less.

    ---

    It was never supposed to happen like this, for either of them. But it did, and everything will change because of it.

    Summary

    Ashvalla Lavellan wasn't supposed to fall in love with the distrustful Commander of the Inquisition. She was supposed to find her sister - now the Herald of Andraste - in a village full of Shems, ensure her safety, and do everything necessary to ensure she remained alive. But being possessed by a spirit of Love meant she could not hide from her unwanted feelings, nor could she escape the reality of her situation: no matter how much she wished otherwise, a possessed mage and a former Templar could never be.

    If only that could stop her heart beating faster every time she was near him.

    Summary

    Summary

    Footfalls in the snow melt the quickest-- give rise to newborn greens and fragile stems betwisting through brittle ice as they reach for the warmth of a promised spring. Eyes of blue coated in ice are no different. In time, their frost will wane; give way to the heat of the sun who beckons with the grace and kindness of everything right in the world.

    Her arms are strong, yet delicate. Brilliant light cascading, blinding through summer's canopy to dazzle the world in hues and colors beauty bright he only believed existed in nature and the Fade-- he sees her.
    His arms are strong, yet gentle. Feather-light touches, kindness unending. Drowning within, pebbles shift to the bottom of a basin, bubbles drifting to float aloft the waves, he is the adventure she's sought forever-- she sees him.
    A home built between, a breath shared throughout. Again and again and again. To burn, to fall to ash-- and meld together, again. Again.

    Summary

    Lana Lavellan raced to the top of the mountain, deep within the Frostbacks. Darkness followed close behind her, and the world and all the people that she had grown to know and love were gone - destroyed to make way for whatever world he had planned. She knew she had to find Solas, find a way to change his plans. And she knew how.

    She was going to kill him.


    In this post-Trespasser fic, Solas succeeds in his plans and restores the world of elves, but soon realizes that not everything went according to plan. When an ancient artifact goes missing, he comes face-to-face with her again - and she has no idea who he is, but they will need to work together to stitch reality back into place and face a new force that threatens their world.

    Summary

    Fleshed-out story of The Veilguard, exploring a slow-burn between Neve and female Rook. Adding a twist by diving into the triangle Rook/Neve/Lucanis. Neve and Lucanis flirt a lot, which annoyes Rook endlessly, because of her crush (and growing into more) for Neve. Neve is oblivious to Rook's feelings, but does notice that Rook gets seriously annoyed (and sad) about all the flirting. Even going so far not to take them both on missions at the same time, even if it is the most logical choice. Neve mistakes Rook's annoyance, distancing and growing sadness for Rook feeling something for Lucanis, which he does not seem to answer. That is the only logical explanation, right? And in all this mess, Lucanis is hoping to start something serious with Neve. But to Neve, it's all for fun, nothing serious. She's not considering dating anyone in these troubles times and Lucanis really isn't her type.

    A slow burn, and a lot of misunderstandings ensue...

    Summary

    Aya de Riva, affectionately known as “Rook” to their friends, has never been in love. And they never will be. It’s not that they don’t want to be… it’s just that, well, that would mean trusting someone, and they don’t want to do that. Plus, the world’s ending! They have more important things, like the first Talon’s dead grandson being alive and also semi possessed, an ancient god in their own head, oh, and the world is potentially ending and for some ungodly reason, they’ve been entrusted to stop that… So, no. They’ve never been in love and never will be.

    Or

    Friendly neighborhood bird motif enjoyer (me) is obsessing over Veilguard and needs an outlet other than gushing to their partner 24 hours a day… This is a classic, slowburn Rookanis fic, but I love the other companions so much, so they will also be featured :)
    I’m going to follow the storyline, adding in scenes where I want, but I plan on changing the dialogue somewhat to build upon my Rook!

    Summary

    Stopping the ritual was supposed to save the world. Instead, it tied her to the one who caused its ruin.

    Rook never wanted to lead. Thedas is imploding—Blight swallowing the lands, the Evanuris gathering power—and now she must carry a fractured team through the end of days. It’s no easy task, especially when her strange connection to the Fade drags her into the presence of her greatest adversary every night, against her will.
    Solas is the only one who can help her, but his cryptic words and lingering stares pull her deeper into his orbit. Every conversation is a battle of wills, every moment a knife twisting between them. He’s infuriating, prideful, and impossible to trust. She’s reckless, stubborn, and entirely too clever for her own good. And yet, the more they tear into each other’s wounds, the harder it becomes to pull away.
    With the world at stake, Rook must decide whether to trust the man who shattered it—or risk losing everything. Even if she’s already in too deep.

    (This is a loose retelling of the events in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Aka, the romance I wish we got. It’s going to be a long fic, so buckle up, grab your Kleenex and come along for the ride.)
