Even though we are still in the full heat of summer, the cold months are fast approaching! What better way to prepare for their inevitable arrival, than by planning how we’ll be indulging into the darkest desires of our hearts?

Celebrate the month of October with 31 days of Solas x Rook inspired fiction, art, and any creative medium your heart desires, following the Dreadtober 2025 Prompt Lists.

The Rules:

Even though the main focus of the event are Rook and Solas, other Dreadrook adjacent ships like Solrooklassan, Solrookvellan, etc. are allowed. Show us your polycules! Other ships may be mentioned, but in respect of the spirit of the event, do not forget that Rook and Solas must be central to your work.

3. All works should be new or posted for the first time after the event begins.

You may submit multiple works (ex: one for each day) or combine them as you see fit. In case of combining prompts from different days, pick one prompt day to post your work!

6. Post your creation on the corresponding day and use the following tags: #Dreadtober2025 & #TheLighthouseServer, and @thelighthouse-server in your creation!

7. All fanfiction should be added to event collection on AO3, which will be open for submissions starting on October 1 st.

8. You do not need to participate on each day. This is for fun, igniting creativity, and community. Post what you want, what you can and when you can. Late submissions will still be accepted and promoted. Enjoy yourselves and support others!

Do you guys have any plans to do a gift exchange event in the future? I think that'd be great.

Hey, hi, hello!

Sorry for a rather late answer, but yes, keep an eye out for an announcement later this week!

Have some sillies.

Penitent

AO3 FIC LINK.

Summary:

“I hear a distinct lack of celebration from your companions,” said Solas, nose still buried in his book. “I take it retrieval of the artifact did not go well?” “Not exactly,” said Rook, self-consciously scratching his nape. “Elaborate,” said Solas.

Rook fails a mission after neglecting Solas' advice. Solas knows exactly what he needs to both deal with his guilt and ensure he listens to Solas in the future.

A/N: Another Lighthouse AU entry! First spicy fic for that series.

[solrookera]

you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time

[solrookera]

No nuance, no multiple choice option, just pick your favorite game

[solrookera]

You know what makes me go a bit feral about solrook (or even just a non-romantic relationship between Solas and Rook)? Sure, the verbal sparring, the "I suppose I had you," and that devastatingly delivered "Please, Rook. I do not wish to fight against you," are all excellent contenders. But you know what really sends me spiraling deep down into a rabbit hole?

This bitch here.

"When you see the old world restored..."

When you see it. Not if. When. And as far as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong!), it's a line given to every Rook, regardless of how they treat or react to Solas, whether they hate him, pity him, or walk some shaky line in between. And that opens the door to so many beautiful implications.

It means Solas came to care about Rook, no matter what. Yes, he was furious that the ritual was disrupted, furious about the horrors they unleashed (because blaming Rook is easier than admitting the ritual was dangerous and poorly planned to begin with). Yes, he saw them as inferior, a meddlesome mortal playing with powers they couldn't comprehend. A means to an end he would exploit without hesitation. Yes, he used blood magic to make them believe their beloved mentor was still alive – after he killed him – and likely felt little to no remorse about it in the beginning. Yes, he betrayed them at the first opportunity, condemning them to what he believed to be a permanent stay in the Fade Prison, and he did so even if there had been something like a bond forming between them. Because to Solas, Rook was just a pawn to be used on the board – a rook to be castled by the king. And then they came back, just when he needed them most. And Solas is grateful. Relieved. A little stunned, honestly, because how did they succeed where he failed? And even though he still plans to betray them, still believes he has to, he no longer takes pleasure in it. This time, it hurts. This time, it costs him something. ("I'm sorry for this final betrayal… but I will do what I can to minimize the damage.") But at the very least, he can comfort himself with this: Rook will survive. Rook has to survive. If the world ends – perhaps when the world ends – they'll be there. And when they see it, when they understand what he has tried to achieve, they'll know it was all worth it. They have to. Because if they don't… then he'll be forced to confront the reality of what he's done, and all the means he has sacrificed for the end. Even then, Rook will be there. When. Not if.

He can't even imagine Rook dying. Not because it's impossible, but because he can't let himself believe it. He knows there will be casualties. The question was never if, only how many. He's accepted that price, planned around it, braced for it. ("But the return of my people means the end of yours," he says to the Inquisitor, admitting that it's a wrong answer, but resigned to it all the same.) He's told himself this a thousand times. He's heard the pushback – from Felassan, the Inquisitor, Varric, even Rook – and dismissed it all. He made his choice a long time ago, and he's ready to sink with the ship. He killed Felassan. He killed Varric. He accepted that the Inquisitor and every friend they shared might die. But Rook? Rook is the one life he can't picture losing. Even after he's hurt them, even after he's betrayed their trust, used blood magic on them, locked them in a torment of regrets. He can't, doesn't, won't see a future where Rook's dead, and dead by the choices he has made. His mind just… won't go there. When. Not if. Sure, if Rook tricks him, fights him, chooses defiance, he lashes out. His anger suppresses his reason, his pride overcomes his wisdom. But that's just instinct. But "when you see the old world restored" wasn't instinct. That was a slip. That was real.

And this, kids, is why I'll never understand how anyone walked away from Veilguard thinking Solas doesn't care about Rook. Obviously to each to their own, but that's just such a strange conclusion to reach, when, in my opinion, he very clearly does. By the end, they're one of the few people he still manages to care about. Maybe not the most – Mythal probably holds that title, even now – but enough that a future without them is simply unimaginable.

[solrookera]

Solas and Rook having casual sex in the trapped in Fade ending, and it's just meant to be something to pass the time... but Solas moans 'vhenan' in Rook's ear and they both realise he means it.

[solrookera]

Solstice Revelry 2025 Roundup!

Made a Video Edit rec list.

Didn't get a bingo, but I had fun making a rec list/some fics for the event! Thanks for hosting this, @thelighthouse-server!

[solrookera]

Domesticated

AO3 FIC LINK.

Summary:

He took a few stumbling steps forward while the roughly boat-sized Solas prowled around him, his movements sleek and sure. He wasn’t so large that he was able to tip the foundation they were on, but he did shake it with every step. Rook’s tail wagged when Solas nosed the dome of his head with his cool, wet nose, giving him a sniff, and while Rook didn’t quite understand what compelled him to do it, it was oddly pleasing. 

Solas attempts to teach Rook how to transform into a wolf, which goes hilariously wrong. Teasing ensues.

A/N: For the Solstice Revelry prompt: Wolves Howling/C4. Very fluffy and silly.

Dreadrook Solstice Revelry 2025 - Fanwork & Creators edition

Woo, I'm back filling out the cards because somebody has to hype people up, and I have taken this duty as a mantle of honour (or whatever some dude said). I have already shared my fic recs (marked with burnt orange Xs here). This time it's just me sharing some peeps in this fandom I admire, stuff I or my frendos have made.

From the moment you dug me out of Reddit trashcan and took me inside, I knew I was home. You give so much of yourself to support all of us who come across your way, never expecting much back. You are a warm ray of sunshine to my cloudy day, a comforting blanket against world's bullshit, someone I was blessed to meet and have an opportunity to work, laugh and just be with. You have done and given so much and continue to do so much, and I love you. lol, yikes, look at me being sappy as fuck.

AND for B2 (#1 Fan), D2 (Posts regularly) & B4 (Cheerleader) I nominate ALL OF YOU. Because all of you dear moots or not have it in you to not just lurk but to create, share and support everyone in the community and you do!
