In January I decided to try out fic writing myself and I thought I'd share my DavRookTaash fic (my canon pairing) that I posted on AO3 some time ago because I'm still very proud of it (it's my favourite!)

Pairing: Davrin/Rook/Taash

Rating: E

It's been weeks of U’lea attempting to do his duties, traveling through eluvians and helping out wherever they can to gain allies for fighting the gods. Attempt being the keyword here. it's also been weeks of pure torture, as Davrin and Taash seems to have teamed up to make his life a living hell by getting him worked up on purpose, and damn if it isn't working. It's also very distracting.

Ever since Davrin noticed U’lea looking a little longer at Taash, throwing glances their way as sweat from a good workout dripped down their biceps… Well, like usual, Davrin started teasing him about it. U’lea realised years ago he's polyamarous, and felt the need to tell his boyfriend the truth that even if he'll crush on other people, he's more than fine with a monogamous relationship with Davrin. Happy, even.

Davrin however, thinks it's hilarious to tease him about it whenever he notices U’lea’s little crushes. First Emmrich, his suave former teacher who doesn't seem to notice U’lea staring at his long and boney fingers, imagining taking them into his mouth. Lucanis, the smooth assassin, personally making him his favourite hot chocolate and bringing him to near tears from laughing. The Viper, otherwise known as Ashur, with his smooth and low voice that goes straight to U’lea’s head between his legs. And of course there's also Flynn, the gentle, adorable and pretty Grey Warden physician that has his heart fluttering with that gorgeous smile.

He never acts on his crushes, he doesn't feel the need to and is content with his fantasies and dating Davrin, so why is his smug bastard of a boyfriend currently competing with Taash to make him suffer through this one? They've constantly been distracting him for his duties by either showing off, or testing who can make him blush the hardest. They've turned it into some kind of game, and boy is he kind of enjoying it.

Returning to the lighthouse after a long mission, The Veilguard gathered around the long dining table in the kitchen as they finished up eating a delicious meal made ready by Lucanis and Bellara for their return. Everyone's plates are picked clean, and they're just staying to loudly chat with each other now, updating on everything that has happened these last few days and what went down during the mission.

Taash bangs their fist on the table, startling U’lea out of his thoughts. No one else seems to react, it's usual Taash behaviour at this point. “I won that last one.” They say towards Davrin, seemingly in a heated argument.

“Hah, you wish. That one was definitely my win. But…”

“But?” Taash raises their eyebrow, one elbow leaning on the table.

Davrin continues. “We could settle the score.” He jerks his head towards U’lea in a gesture.

Taash slams their palms on the table and stands up, chair scraping against the stone floor. Davrin follows suit and gets up from his chair, albeit quieter, and they both walk the few steps towards U’lea, still sitting at the end of the table.

They both stop next to his chair, one on each side of him. U’lea raises his eyebrow in confusion, looking back and forth between them repeatedly. “What?”

Davrin and Taash both lean down and immediately bite down on his pointy, sensitive ears. “Ah!” He moans, jerking his body as an electric sensation surges through his entire body. The room goes quiet and everyone has turned to look at him, Davrin and Taash having already left his side as fast as they could. U’lea clasps his hands over his mouth, realising the sound he just made out loud, and his face heats up, turning bright red like a tomato. He hurriedly stands up from his chair and glares at both Davrin and Taash, the two playing innocent. Clearing his throat, he looks over at Lucanis and Bellara. “The food was delicious, as always, thank you. I have some sleep to catch up on so I'll see you all later.”

U’lea half sprints out of the kitchen, through the lighthouse courtyard and up the stairs to his room. Slamming the door behind him, he leans his back against it, catching his breath as he looks down at the growing erection in his pants. “Assholes…” he whispers to himself and walks over to the couch, sitting down. Sighing, U’lea lifts his ass to more easily pull down his pants. Sitting back down, his pants now down his thighs, he grabs his hard cock with one hand and starts stroking himself slowly.

Looking up at the table before him, he imagines Taash roughly bending him over it and having their way with him, just how Davrin sometimes does. Perhaps a little rougher, because Davrin is always a bit careful, worried he'll break the small elf.

He thinks of Taash’s long, thick fingers, thrusting in and out of his hole, the other hand wrapped around his throbbing cock. Covered in precum, it's easier to move his hand, and U’lea increases the speed, his strokes losing the rhythm as his moans get louder and more desperate. Then he imagines Taash grabbing the back of his thick, blonde, curly hair, pulling hard.

“Fuck, oh fu—” On the verge of coming, the door behind him slams open loudly and he jumps in surprise. Snapping his head around, he spots Davrin walking into the room. It's not the first time Davrin has walked in on him masturbating, the man stopped knocking ages ago. What is unexpected, however, is the large qunari following closely behind his boyfriend.

U’lea hurriedly stands up, realising his cock is still rock hard, and sits down just as fast. He stares at them for a moment, mouth gaping, and Davrin speaks up first as he closes the door behind them, locking it.

“Sleeping, are you?” A hint of a smirk at the corner of his mouth.

“Shut up…” U’lea whispers, blushing.

“There's no point in hiding, I can smell you, you know.” Taash interrupts.

“I— you can what?” U’lea stares at them, eyes wide.

“Adaari have a really good sense of smell. I can smell your arousal.” They say with a straight expression.

U’lea lowers his head into his hands and groans. After a moment, he stands up, pulls up his pants and walks over, stopping in front of Davrin.

“Davrin, what are you trying to…?” He looks up at him, concerned.

Davrin holds up a hand to stop him. “It's fine. I've thought about this for a while, you see? We all know you're interested in Taash, more than usual. You're practically giving them heart eyes every time they're looking away.” His expression softens, and he rests his hand on U’lea’s shoulder.

“I know we agreed to being monogamous, but truth be told? I wouldn't mind sharing you with Taash, if that's what you want. Taash and I have been discussing it.” He squeezed his shoulder in reassurance.

U’lea stares at him, dumbfounded. “Wait, so… these weeks of you two basically torturing me… was a test?”

“Yep.” Taash chimes in. “It was obvious that you wanted to have sex with me, but is that all you want? That would be fine too, I'd be down to fuck you.” Their expression remains serious.

U’lea’s head snaps to Davrin. “Davrin, did you—”

Davrin raises his hands in defense. “Woah, hey. I didn't say anything, Taash came to me about it, concerned about us.”

Taash crossed their arms. “Like I said, I can smell it on you.”

U’lea rapidly blinked a few times, his mind trying to catch up to all of this. “Riiiight.”

Taash untwined their arms and starts to undress, removing pieces of their armour one at a time. Now naked, they step towards U’lea. “So… which is it?”

He craned his neck upwards to meet the eyes of the qunari, twice his height and at least triple his body mass.

“I—yeah. Yes. I'd like that. Not just sex, I mean.” He rambles. “You're nice, and pretty badass…” He swallows and looks away, embarrassed as his ears turn red. ”and incredibly sexy.” He says breathlessly, Taash’s bare tits at his eye level.

Taash snorts, grinning. “I’m Nice? That's a new one.” They step closer, barely inches apart. “I want that, too.” Taash leans down to lift U'lea up with their hand supporting under his ass, the other on his back.

U’lea wraps his arms around their neck and legs around their waist, moaning as his unrelenting erection grinds against them. They swing around and towards the wall, slamming his back into it as they kiss him hard and rough. U’lea returns the kiss desperately, moaning into their hotter than normal mouth as Taash sucks on his tongue and grinds against his cock.

Behind them, Davrin walks backwards to the couch and half leans against the counter behind it. He pulls down his pants slightly, and takes out his cock, stroking it as he watches them. “Damn, that's hot.” He groans.

“Taash.” U’lea gasps, their mouths parting and joining, tongues entwining again and again, his leaking cock ready to burst from not getting the release he needed moments ago.

Taash lowers their hand on his back, shoving it into his pants and inserts their middle finger into his ass without warning. The sudden intrusion makes him whine and reach release, digging his heels into Taash’s behind and shaking as he comes, soaking his pants.

Taash pulls away, a string of saliva hanging between theirs and U’lea’s lips. Still holding him up, they pause to catch their breaths. Taash speaks first. “Rook, you okay?”

“U’lea…” He tries to get out, mouth sore from the kissing. “Please call me U’lea.” He smiles, gently.

Taash lowers their head, touching their forehead to his. “‘Kay, U'lea.”

Davrin walks over to the wall where they're standing, grabbing onto U’lea’s arm to help Taash lift him back on the floor. “You did good.” Davrin says, softly as he places a kiss on U’lea’s forehead.

U’lea holds onto Davrin's arm to steady himself and looks down at Davrin's erection. “More…”

“What?” Davrin replies.

U’lea looks up through his eyelashes, meeting Davrin's eyes as his grip on his arm tightens. “I want more. Fuck me, please.”

Davrin blinks at him in surprise, then smirks. “I can do that.” Turning to Taash, he says. “I have an idea, go lie on the couch.”

Taash looks at him, puzzled. “Uh, ‘kay?” They head to the couch and lie down on their back, waiting.

Davrin turns back to U’lea and leans down to kiss his neck, earning a pleased moan. Reaching for his pants, sticky from before, he starts to pull them down, and U’lea steps out of them and kicks them away. Davrin stops kissing his neck and pulls his shirt over his head, then grabs his hand and escorts him to the couch.

He guides U’lea down in-between Taash’s legs, face to face as Davrin kneels on the couch behind him. Davrin moves U’lea further backwards, and lowers his head a little closer to Taash’s vagina.

“Wanna try?” Davrin asks in a low voice. U’lea gulps. He has never done this before, nor did he think he ever would. He always thought he was only into men and dicks, but turns out genitals don't matter as much as the person they're attached to.

“Y-yeah, but how…” U’lea stammers. Taash moves their hand down to their clit and points. “Here. Touch this.”

U’lea nods, then lowers his head and gently licks their clit. Their vagina is already wet from earlier, and a new experience for U’lea. He continues to awkwardly lick, and Taash growls. “Harder! You don't need to be so gentle.”

U’lea pauses before increasing the pressure of his tongue, earning a moan from the qunari that goes straight to his mostly limp cock. Pleased with himself, he sucks on their clit, and Taash arches their back, pushing their pelvis harder against his face.

While U’lea continues to pleasure Taash, Davrin picks up a vial of oil, popping off the lid and pouring it into his hand. Putting the vial away, he moves his hand to U’lea’s ass, half in the air as he's bent down between Taash’s legs. He rubs his middle finger around the rim, before inserting it into his hole, and U’lea moans, muffled with his face still in Taash’s crotch.

After a while, Davrin inserts a third finger, alternating between spreading them and thrusting faster and faster. U’lea moans louder, breathing more erratically, his tongue stopped moving as he's unable to focus with the pleasure of his ass being handled roughly by Davrins thick fingers.

Davrin stops thrusting and he removes his fingers, then gestures for U’lea to sit up, moving his legs closer to Taash. “You ready for this?” Davrin asks, gently grabbing U’lea’s now sensitive, but hard again, cock. U’lea’s breath hitches, and he nods. Davrin guides him forward, aiming the tip of his cock at Taash’s entrance and U’lea pushes in.

The sudden hot, soft yet tight feeling of Taash’s hole around his cock brings out a moan from both of them. Davrin grabs both sides of U’lea’s hips, ushering him forward. “Go on. Thrust your hips.”

U’lea places his hands on each side of Taash and does as he's told and starts moving, low moans escaping his lips with every thrust. He looks up at Taash, watching their reactions of pleasure and moans. U’lea moves one hand up, grabbing their tits and squeezes, then he leans down and sucks on their nipple, tongue swirling as he bites down. Taash grabs his hair and pushes his head down. “Shit. Yeah… that's good. Keep going.”

Davrin sits up on his knees, and guides his own cock to U’lea’s entrance, then pushes the tip in slowly. the smaller elf moans loudly, letting go of Taash's erect nipple. He thrusts backwards, forcing the rest of Davrin's cock inside him in one fellow swoop, clenching down and bringing out a groan from Davrin.

“Shit, U’lea. A little warning next time?” U’lea looks back at him over his shoulder, eyes glistening and full of need. “Move, please.” He begs.

Davrin swallows, barely pausing for a moment before he pulls out and thrusts hard back in. U’lea yells out a moan.

“Good enough?” Davrin asks, cockily.

“Y-yeah, that's—ah!” U’lea bites his lips, trying to hold back his continuous moaning as he rocks his hips, alternating between Davrin's large cock hitting his prostate every time he withdraws from Taash, and thrusting back into Taash’s wet and hot pussy wrapping around him. Taash meets him halfway with every movement, their thick thighs trembling.

Taash lifts their hand towards U’lea’s mouth and pries open his lips, shoving their long fingers inside. “Don't bite, I want to hear you lose it to pleasure.” They say, panting heavily with an intense expression.

“And Taash’s pussy? Good?” Davrin continues.

“Mmhf! So—so fucking good.” He tries to respond, but it comes out muffled and slurred.

Davrin leans forward, whispering into his ear but loud enough for both of them to hear. “Come on, let Taash hear how desperate and needy you can get when I'm fucking you.” He closes the short distance to U’lea’s pointy ear and licks a long, slow line up to the tip. U’lea whimpers in response, clenching around Davrin inside him, and Davrin chuckles.

Davrin grabs the back of U’lea’s hair and roughly pushes his head down, face into Taash’s tits. He starts thrusting harder, increasing his speed as U’lea’s moans grow louder and needier. Davrin loosens his grip and moves his hands to his hips for a better hold as he keeps plunging into the small elf.

Taash grabs U’lea’s face, lifting it up to look at him. “Hrrr.” Taash growls from deep in their throat. “You look so hot, all messy and disheveled like this.” He's unable to respond, dazed with tears streaming down his face in ecstasy, drool dripping on Taash’s chest and their large hand still cupping his face.

The mix of praise and Taash thrusting up against his cock brings him to the edge, and he comes with a whimper, shaking. Davrin groans loudly behind him as he reaches his own release. The sensation of hot liquid filling him up at the same time he's filling up Taash has him crossing his eyes, collapsing on top of Taash. Davrin withdraws his cock, and before U’lea can recover and catch his breath, Davrin pulls him back and lowers U’lea’s face in-between Taash’s legs again.

“Be a good boy and help Taash out, yeah?” He says in a low tone, breathless.

U'lea swallows and closes the distance. He sticks out his tongue, licking his own cum oozing out of Taash’s hole. He continues licking upwards, reaching their clit and he flicks his tongue at an increased speed. He takes their clit into his mouth and sucks hard, earning a moan from Taash and they grab his hair, pulling. His scalp burning pleasantly. Taash arches their back and closes their strong, trembling thighs, wrapping around U’lea’s head as they come with a loud moan.

U’lea collapsed on top of Taash again, meanwhile Davrin got up to find some towels. Returning to the couch, he motions for U’lea to get up so he can clean him.

“So, how was it?” Davrin asks, wiping down his boyfriend.

U’lea blushes, turning away. “It was… amazing.” He smiles, softly. “I like this. I like… us. The three of us.”

Taash, still lying down, sits up and looks at them both, their lips curling into a grin. “Yeah.” Taash reaches up to ruffle U’lea’s hair.

“Me, too.” Davrin responds, returning their smiles as he leans down to place a chaste kiss on U’lea’s lips.

Commission of Davrin and my Rook (U'lea, he/him) by artist abrildelucia ♥♥

[doribull]

There's a Varric/Blackwall banter in Inquisition that is probably my favourite quote to come out of the dragon age series and also says so much about Varric and also about Hawke but reframed in the context of Veilguard also says so much about Rook and why those people complaining about Rook 'not being a main character' or Rook 'not having any right to be the leader' are so completely missing the point of Rook.

Blackwall: You can't really think Reeve Asa is a better knight than Honorine Chastain. Her record's flawless. Four hundred jousts, never unseated. No one's ever come close to it.

Varric: Oh, she's easily the most skilled, that's a fact. It's just that 'scrappy' is better than 'flawless'. I like heroes who try their damndest, even if they fail a lot. It's easy to be valiant when you always win and everything goes your way. There's nothing great in that.

In Inquisition, obviously Varric is talking about Hawke. Hawke, the tragically doomed hero who tried and failed to save Kirkwall, but who tried. Now explain to me why Varric would pick anyone other than Rook to be his second? To look after the team while he talks to Solas? Varric is, first and foremost, however much he tries to be something else or pretend he isn't, an idealist. An author. He lives and thinks in terms of stories, it helps him deal with and make sense of the world. So why would he go and try and recruit the type of hero he doesn't like? Yeah, Rook is a nobody. They're probbaly not the best at what they do and the only reason Varric notices them is because they get cast out of their organisation for going against orders to save people. They might not be the most skilled, but goddamn if they don't try. Rook is the definition of scrappy, the prologue and first couple of cutscenes basically hit you over the head with it multiple times. They're exactly the stuff heroes are made of, according to Varric. And sure, they need some help, but what good would a story be if the hero was perfect all the time?

God I love Rook. And I love Varric and the way he thinks. And you know what? You know what the game says?

He's fucking right.

DA Veilguard was really fun! Also Emmrich is top tier romance choice ✨

[doribull]

Okay, can I be honest? I'm so so so tired of some of y'all parroting gamer bro talking points when it comes to Taash and pretending that you're being progressive. I am so tired of the "why didn't they use a different term for nonbinary? It's so cringe to hear them say that! They should have made up a new word! They shouldn't make their identity so on the nose and in your face."

Not a single person has complained that the terms man, woman, male, female, etc. all exist in this world. Why should the writers have to dress up and make subtle and palatable the existence of trans and nonbinary people when other genders can be discussed in real world terms?

Transphobia is rampant on a global scale right now, not to mention in the very country part of Bioware is based in which is seeing a huge rise in fascism and anti-trans and anti-nonbinary laws and public opinion. What's wrong with trans and nonbinary writers, developers, VAs, etc. (many of which have been subject to transphobia fromthis very fandom) making it blatant and clear that nonbinary people exist and won't be made subtle and quiet and hidden in concealing terms to make people comfortable?

You don't have to like it or see it as the representation you personally need, but seeing a game that isn't afraid to say "Hey, we are part of the world and we exist and we're not some subtle little thing that only exists in certain cultures and can only be discussed in made up Dragon Age words that no one has ever heard of" is actually so sick and refreshing.

I may not be in time but I wanted to contribute to @datvcompanionweeks 's Taash Week <3

[doribull]

I just love Veilguard so much, and as a fan since 2011, it felt like a gift. it's so sad to see people listening to the bigots who never played past the first game, or those who call themselves fans but wish death upon the devs because they didn't like certain things.

Rook, to me, is a protagonist I feel really connected to, which is something I've felt was missing from my other protagonists and I love my Rook so, so much.
