Summary
Calliope “Rook” de Riva is many things: snarky, chaotic, and a little awkward. In other words, she’s not the best crow, but when stopping Solas’ ritual releases two blighted gods, it didn’t matter if she was a good Crow. Instead, Rook now has to figure out how to stop two dangerous ancient elves, deal with one bald-headed asshole, learn to lead a team, carry her own emotional baggage, and figure out her growing feelings for a certain broody Crow.

Summary
Fourteen years after the fall of Corypheus, and the continents of Tamriel and Thedas discovering each other, the Dragonborn Inquisitor has gone on to become Empress of Tamriel, deal with her Dominion archrivals, and raise her also Dragonborn children, the oldest of which is now grown-up, a university graduate, powerful mage in her own right, possessed of a strong sense of social justice... and chafing at the restraints of being a princess. The solution is risky, but no Nord's ever feared risk and adventure. Secondment to the Shadow Dragons seems like just the thing... but other forces are moving in the background, forces set in motion millennia ago, and coming to the fore in the aftermath of a war that was a triumph for the Empire but devastating for the elves of the Aldmeri Dominion. As ancient elven powers rise from darkness, and Princess Maia starts uncovering secrets of her own family's past, bringing the light has never looked like a harder prospect, and it's all on three adolescent Dragonborns to save the world.

Summary
Rook's ability to commune with the dead has always been more of a curse than a gift, especially in the Mourn Watch. Emmrich, her former mentor, saw potential in her when no one else did. But a failed mission left her scarred both physically and emotionally, forcing her to leave the Watch. Years later, as a member of the Veilguard, Rook finds herself face-to-face with Emmrich again—still a professor and researcher obsessed with the Fade.
Some spirits never rest—and some hearts were never meant to.

Summary
The last thing Neve Gallus anticipated, when she walked into that seedy Minrathous bar was to get dragged into a war against elven gods. Or a Blight. Or archdemons. She also didn't expect to find an ally Ashara 'Rook' Mercar, a fellow Shadow Dragon with too many scars and a smile that spells Trouble. Between Venatori plots, ancient elven gods, and blood magic, survival is hard enough. But falling for each other might be the biggest risk of them all.

Summary
Lucanis Dellamorte didn't survive a year in the Ossuary and get saddled with an irritating demon, just to be put on a Venatori ship headed for an execution. There had to be a way out. There was always a way out.
This time, the way out came in the form of a wild, impulsive thunderstorm who called himself Rook. An out-of-control apostate from the Lords of Fortune, who had blown a cultist to bits with little more than a gesture right in front of Lucanis. During what was supposed to be his daring escape.
To close the impossible distance between himself and home, Lucanis decided to do the only thing he could do: team up with this Rivaini elf armed with more secrets than an Orlesian bard and a stare that made him weak in the knees.
How do you keep up with lightning?

Fortune’s Favourite Son by Harper_Vs_Life
Fandoms: Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Video Game), Dragon Age II, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age: Origins
10 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Rook is the son of the Champion of Kirkwall and the Hero of Ferelden. So, no pressure.
He’s a Lord of Fortune, which is ironic because lately he’s had anything but. Grounded by his captain because of a tiny incident with a dead noble and a collapsed ruin that was barely his fault, he’d do just about anything to feel the wind in his hair and the roll of the ocean under his feet again.
So he’s vulnerable. Restless. And probably dehydrated.
Varric has an idea to put the wind back in his sails. How about a trip to Minrathous? Just recon, kid. No worries.
No worries.

Few Against the Wind by WaitingForDogot

Summary
"I’ve never told anyone what truly happened to me at Ferelden’s Circle. I was… not myself after that. I was angry. For years, that anger blinded me. I’m not proud of the man that made me."
"The way I saw mages… I’m not sure I would have cared about you, and the thought of that sickens me.
Lyrium withdrawal and the realization that he's desperately in love with the Inquisitor has left Cullen raw. Vulnerable. The horror of his past keeps intruding into his present, and he can't help but wonder whether he's been carrying it with him in more ways than one- whether his desires are his own, or something darker that controls and compels him from deep within his subconsciousness.
He needs to address it— he needs to come clean in order to move on— but will he lose the woman he loves in the process? Will he lose her to something (or someone) else before he can gather the courage to act?
