Random Lucanis hcs

His love for Rook is a different kind of possession. Of course, love was always something he yearned for. He just didn't expect to be so utterly taken by it. Normally, there are activities he'd usually reserve for himself, but he finds himself still wanting Rook to be there with him. He knows he should trust Rook to take care of themself, yet there's an immovable uneasiness that's hard to banish that sits at the back of his mind. It causes him to be hyper-vigilant where he should be focused. Mierda. And he thought Spite was the only one he had to worry about.

Unexpectedly becomes somewhat acquainted with Antoine and Evka. At first, this was just him doing some reconnaissance for the contract. As time passes, the discussions shift. Antoine mentions his history as a servant in Orlais. Lucanis talks about the contracts he's taken there. Then Evka mentions how Antoine threw a sweet roll at a werewolf. Lucanis is perplexed and intrigued all at once. This may be his favorite couple. He walks away with some interesting vulgar Orlesian phrases to add to his logbook lmao

Due to Spite's influence, his sense of smell has become a lot more keen than he's used to. He's also developed a type of olfactory-visual synesthesia, where smelling something triggers him seeing certain colors. Of course, this makes cooking interesting. Citrus-based fruits have brightly colored scents. Non-citrus fruits have less vibrant colors to their scent. So on and so forth. This can be overwhelming, of course. Adds on to his already present achy eye problems. Luckily, this is only in effect an hour or two after using any of Spite's powers. It's longer lasting after Spite possesses him, willing or not.

Nsfw under the cut

NSFW Rookanis HCs as a treat

Favors using his fingers/hands to pleasure Rook because he's able to focus on their every expression. There's nothing he enjoys more than to feel them fall apart. He's all about keeping eye contact during, as well. It's intense, and so, so loving. He looks at Rook as if they are the one holding him down and not gravity.

Lucanis's attentiveness definitely extends to the bedroom. Sometimes, he likes to play the part of an absent-minded lover. Why? Mostly to hear Rook beg and plead with him. Also, he likes being a little shit. It's hard to ignore his instinct to touch where he knows Rook likes to be touched, to kiss where they like to be kissed. It's worth seeing them pout and squirm, though!

He looks at them with a smirk he somehow manages to make look apologetic. "Forgive me. It's nice to hear you complain, sometimes."

While Lucanis appreciates when Rook is so adamant on gaining his explicit consent whenever he wants to take the lead, he's intent on showing Rook he isn't made of glass. Sometimes, it works out great. He delights in discovering which spots make Rook sigh in pleasure, which spots make them reach an earth-shattering end. However, there are times when it leads to him biting off more than he can chew. He gets overwhelmed, touch-averse, and isn't content with the idea of sex for a while. Even here, the Ossuary is still something that haunts him, and it frustrates him greatly.

Fully love the dynamic of Rook trying to find their place in the Dellamorte household while a bitter, vengeful, hostile Illario plots against them. But. but? What feeds my soul is an Illario who, after trying to butter up Rook, after playing nice, after using his charm to manipulate Rook into some trap, finds that focusing on this particular target (gasp) brought them closer.

Ooops, you played yourself, amico. You fucked up and created a Bond.

Now they're having brunch, and the talk is real, and the smiles are real. (He thinks. It's been a while.) Now they have inside jokes and--porca miseria they're sharing knives. Now he knows what Rook has lost in their life and he--unbelievably--doesn't want to take Lucanis away from them. Worse, so much worse, is that he wants to add himself to Rook's life. He's been a cousin, a brother, a rival, a failure. Rook makes him want to be a friend, whatever that looks like.

So, give me the Illario who fucks up his own plan and accidentally tricks himself into wanting to become Rook's family. The Illario who would kill for Rook, sure. But also the one who lives for them.

Okay, hear me out: Post-Veilguard Lucanis makes a deal with Zevran, and the position of “Black Shadow” is formalized. Zevran, and his agents, keep the Talons in check and gruesomely murder any who try to engage with the slave trade, or abuse their Fledglings, with express blessing of the First Talon.

They are paid from the Crows’ general operating fund, and do not take contracts. They rarely interact with Crows, and they are never referred to as Crows, only as Shadows (and the Black Shadow is their leader, not a Talon, not even the First Talon, they’ll check him too).

Crows who fail contracts or break orders, but with good reasons, often end up as Shadows, who are expected to have impeccable judgement, in addition to being able to best most Crows in combat.

Lucanis: Alright Cole. First, you salt it. Generously. Then sear the outside, with high heat. It locks the flavour in.

Cole: Salt first. Heat next. Flavour trapped. Like memory in marrow.

Lucanis: I... Yes. Let’s go with that. Then you finish it in the pan with a splash of wine.

Cole: Red for meat. White for birds. Spirits like the smell. It reminds them of celebration.

Lucanis: You’re surprisingly attentive.

Cole: I want to understand. Cooking is care you can taste.

Lucanis: Hm. That’s… not wrong.

Cole: Can I stir the ghosts now?

Lucanis: (sighs) Mierda. We were doing so well.

Can you imagine the pressure Davrin is under if Lucanis is dating an elf Rook?

He has one shot—just one shot—to pull off the perfect “Trust me, bro” prank with bogus bullshit about elves.

He probably lies awake at night trying to craft the perfect lie. Lucanis isn’t an idiot. It’s got to be believable and not easily disproven. It has to be something personal so he won’t ask Rook or Bellara about it. And he’s got to time it for maximum hilarity.

The others notice he’s distracted and ask if he’s okay. He nods solemnly and says he just has a lot on his mind. The others understand. Risen gods, blighted dragons, responsibility for the last of the griffins… they’re all overwhelmed.

Meanwhile this man is thinking, ���I am going to get that Antivan motherfucker if it’s the last thing I do.”

I’m curious.

Rook understands Lucanis's hesitation around outwards displays of affection around others. She has gotten to know him well enough to see that he wants to, but is hesitant. Like he isn't sure of what he wants or if he should want it. If she would want him.

He's nervous, but still so sweet with her.

That's when she decides to start with small gestures of her own. Little things when no one is looking. She can see he isn't so sure at first, but slowly grows into it.

Small little bumps of his hand against hers at the dinner table. The small press of his shoulder against hers while out on a misson.

It becomes more over time. Like stolen kisses in dark corners, and a hand on her hip as he walks past her. She smiles to herself as he grows more sure of his own wants, and letting people see them.

She's taken back when one day he places his hand in hers as they are out shopping at the market, and while he doesn't spare her a glance, acting like what he had done was nothing out of the ordinary for him, she can’t help but grin. She knows she wouldn’t trade anything in the world for this, and makes sure to show him how much she loves him when they are finally alone.
