Rook held a box large enough to fit a dagger, carrying around dock town. He found a sort of dagger he thought Lucanis would enjoy, neve at his side as they ventured around the markets. Rook was slightly frustrated after all Lucanis often cooked for them and cleaned for them. It was hard to shop in general for him that weren’t just daggers but a special dagger that had to count for them. But the seller made him irritated rambling on about how rare it was and neve didn’t get involved leaving him with the chatter box of a merchant. “You think this thing is study enough for lucanis to use? The seller said it’s a rare item.” Rook sighed holding the box like a fragile item.

Neve gave him a glance, grinnning, “Rook, it’s from you. Regardless Lucanis will love it have a little faith.”

Rook scoffed, “Not much good if he can’t use it. And I traded my sword for it.” Another groan left his lips irritated and regretful.

Venatori appeared infront of them in the market spotting rook and neve, charging for them, just Rooks luck and no swords with him either. People scrambled from the market area as Rook dogged a couple of swings. Well, time to put the dagger to the test. He took out the dagger from the box, a large shark tooth blade slashing the Venatori agent turning around in a swirl motion to stab the other, Neve finishing them off by freezing them. Another agent approached this time the dagger was in one of the dead so time to improvise. He head butt the Venatori and while the enemy stumbled back he grabbed an item off the stand, A ceramic dragon holding a marble, the marble flying as it made contact with the Venatori’s head.

“I think Taash would have liked that piece. Too bad it’s broken.” Grey sighed, looking back at Neve dealing with two Venatori on her own. He made his way over stepping on what seems to be a dead animal. He grimaced at the sight, “Well, Better something than nothing.”

He picked up the dead chipmunk going behind one of them and shoving the animal into the Venatoris mouth, suffocating them. Once they were all dealt he moved aside back to neve wiping his hand on his clothes. “That was disgusting.”

“Have to give you points for creativity. But let’s not repeat this.” Neve gave a little chuckle but also made a bit of a face at the graphic sight.

Rook went over picking up the shark tooth dagger from the body he stabbed. Cleaning it and setting it back in its box that had landed on the floor during the battle. “All of a sudden I understand why Lucanis brings so many daggers with him. And now I know this one works. Let’s head back to the lighthouse.”

Rook and Neve made short work getting back to the lighthouse. With rook immediately heading to Lucanis pantry, knocking on the door.

“Come in.” A smooth accent followed and all of a sudden Rook became nervous again. Walking into the pantry holding out the box for Lucanis

“Hey..I got this in dock town. I wasn’t sure if you’d like it or not but it works I did have to test it. Made short work with the Venatori with it and yeah I’ll stop rambling now.” Rook face palmed mentally.

Lucanis opened the box revealing the shark tooth dagger, impressed by its size and examining it, “It’s wonderful, Rook. Certainly more unique in my collection, I’ll treasure it.” Brown eyes met Rooks hazel one, sucking in a breath. “I am glad you like it..I was worried you wouldn’t be able to use it..” Rook got a bit flustered.

Lucanis spoke up hearing rooks nervousness in his voice, “Grey…would you like to stay for a cup of coffee? We can talk further about daggers, help me- sharpen some of mine?”

Rooks heart skipped a beat hearing his name, his actual name slip off Lucanis lips in that gorgeous accent of his.

“Fucking Score.”

you are the hero of ferelden. no matter your origin you watch those you love most be ripped from you. death becomes an endless cycle which seems to follow you wherever you go. the fate of the world rests on your shoulders as you know you can never return home. home is gone now. home is buried with your family, jailed with your closest ally, cradled by the ancestors, forgotten like your beloved, lost to time in the murky glass of the eluvian- dead in your arms, killed at your hand. you are the hero of ferelden and it is your destiny to die. when next the world falls apart, you do not come. this world does not deserve your pity.

you are the champion of kirkwall. you are a refugee, cold and hungry and sold into labour. your mother hates you, though she will never say it. it's your fault the ogre killed your sibling, your fault the taint took the other. but you are happy. you have everything, friends and family and status and riches. you defeat the people plaguing your glorious city, you are the people's hero. you will always know even as she came back, isabela left you to die. you are happy but you are alone. you have everything and then you are rocking back and forth begging please please please do not take my mother as well. you have nothing, but you for a single second, you had everything. you are the champion of kirkwall, and your ally has blown up the chantry. where is your home now that everything is your fault?

you are the herald of andraste. and you are so, so scared. these people do not trust you, do not like you, would feed you to the fade if they could. they do not care if you follow another religion, you are their herald. you can never return home because heroes do not have homes. they say home is the people you choose, but you didn't choose these people, did you? every step you take aches. thousands reach out to touch you, for safety. for comfort. you are a black hole close to destruction, and you cannot do this. you are the herald of andraste and you have not been yourself for so long now.

"Prefect, have you seen Rook anywhere?"

Epel looked distraught. He had spent the last three hours searching for his upperclassman, only to come up empty handed. He was now searching the courtyard again to no avail and was hoping you could give him a hand.

"Oh, yeah. He's been following me around all day," you answered.

"What?" Epel looked doubtful. His eyes scanned the empty paved path behind you. "How do you know?"

"Watch this."

You raised your hands above your head, forming a nice ring shape. No sooner did you lock your fingers together in the air than an arrow whizzed between your arms. It struck the ground right in front of Epel and chipped off part of the sidewalk.

Epel let out a swear and stepped back. "Wha' in tarnation was that!?"

You let your arms fall back down. "I think it's some kind of game. Rook hasn't actually spoken to me since he started doing it, but it's kinda fun. We've been practicing."

twisted wonderland × kimetsu no yaiba (au!)

based on this post here.

I this this on a a japanese song only playlist and a wave of hiperfixation. So heres the context: Yuno (Yuu) and Leona were newly married and lived on his family’s land. On the night after the Town Below festival, Yuno returned home to find not only her husband’s family dead but also her younger brother, Grimm. Leona was the only one still alive, but as she tried to lead him down the mountain, she discovered that he was no longer human.

Silver, a demon slayer, confronted Leona. However, after witnessing him protect Yuno, he chose to spare the newly turned demon’s life, and send the couple to his master, Lilia.

Vil and Rook are the Tamayo and Yuuchiro of this universe. Vil lived more than 300 years only on serving face and hate, nonetheless showed kindness by helping Yuno and Leona after their encounter with the Demon King.

Ace and deuce are both slayers, one ranking above yuu. The three met during a mission, and the two decided to stick by her side from that point on.

My hot Dragon Age: the Veilguard take is that Lucanis has absolutely zero game. People portray him as super cool and flirty and suave and I’m like

This is a man who does not know what to do with a compliment. He’s a little business boy who has a big job and an overbearing grandmother.

You say something sexy to him and he fucking chokes on his own spit.

Y’all hear the accent and think sensual right away but this man hasn’t slept in like 3 weeks, is literally running on Spite, and hides in the pantry most of the time.

No game whatsoever.

I love him 🥹��

An illuminated manuscript from a gossip pamphlet found in the First Talon’s desk with the caption reads:

The Treviso Tourney - Knight Takes Rook

Despite the recently crowned King Viago’s presence at this weekend’s coronation tournament, the audience seemed more enamoured with the rare appearance of the newly wed Dellamorte’s. The Champion of Treviso’s magical talents may have left her out of the competition, but the First Talon’s blade received Rook’s favour - and this punter knows to never bet against the Rook!

After their fight against the gods is done, after the Veil is once again secured, I imagine Rook wanting to do something for Lucanis - something special. Especially since they finally can. After much deliberation (approximately 15 seconds and a side glance at the wyvern-tooth dagger sitting carefully on Lucanis' night stand), Rook has a wyvern-spotting adventure planned. A bag sits ready with camping gear, food rations, a wyvern species encyclopedia, a journal and all the art supplies they could find within a few hours.

Convincing Lucanis takes less than a minute, and the next thing they know, they’re hiking across the Orlesian wilderness.

The first wyvern they spot will be permanently engraved into Rook’s memory – whether that’s from the beast’s presence or from Lucanis’ reaction is up for debate (is it really, though?). Regardless, Rook will inevitably become an expert on that particular species of wyvern.

“Rook!” “Rook.” RookRookRook, look!” “ROOK.” They swear that last one was Spite, but Lucanis calls out them every few minutes during their adventure, each time a wyvern so much as blinks funny. There, Rook is witness to one of the biggest (and longest-lasting) grins Lucanis has ever displayed. Eyes bright, body practically buzzing with excitement as they crouch behind cover. Rook doesn’t know if anything can beat the feeling pounding at their chest.

Rook reaches an important conclusion, they fucking love wyverns.

Excert From ‘All I hear are Screams’

———

“Can I truly be happy? Do I deserve that luxury in this life?” Her chest was tight, nails of hers digging into her chest, clawing at her the space in between her leathers. Rook didn’t know what was happening to herself the room seemed to spin, it was all over but she could hear their screams their voices haunting her.

Rough hands wrapped around her pulling her into their chest from behind. A familiar smell of the sea and bitter coffee, Neve, but her tears couldn’t stop, her screams only got louder. Rook had let Neves home become this way, choosing her at the ritual sight to go with her. Having her be bruised and battered, All of her regrets flashing before her eyes as rook sobbed.

One hand caressed her head, one that’s done so, many times, Davrin, the reminder of the pain the wardens felt. His friends were dead all because of her choices.

“We never could hold any of this against you.” Davrins words rang through rooks sobs making her sink further into the floor. Emmrichs hand pulling hers away from scratching her chest, “We know you cared the most for what we lost. Lost more than you gave. You deserve the happiness most of all.”

Her eyes shut tight as she listened to them but the words blurred together, binding her to her guilt but only one sound cut through her thoughts like a knife.

“Rook..” The smooth accent slipped into her thoughts, her eyes opening to meet his gaze. Those soft brown eyes she drowned in many times before.

“Lucanis.”

Manfred keeps walking in on Emmrich and Rook having sex. 

He doesn’t understand what’s happening but they always seem happy afterwards so it must be good. The first time they notice him, Emmrich gives him a talk about privacy but doesn’t explain what they were doing.

When Manfred learns to speak, he asks. Emmrich gives him a technical explanation and now Manfred knows what, but not why.

So naturally he turns to his other parent and asks Rook who promptly hands him a romance novel (four scarves fluttered in shock out of five) and says it should answer his questions.

Manfred reads the book with his two best friends, Assan and Spite. Assan is mostly uninterested but Spite is fascinated. He has a lot of questions that Manfred doesn’t know the answers to, so he offers to ask his Dad.

Which is how Emmrich ends up having to answer Manfred’s questions about “throbbing members” and “quivering flesh” while Johanna loses it (yelling) and Rook loses it (laughing).

As Emmrich is explaining that they’re metaphors, Lucanis bursts in and demands to know why Spite is asking about “heaving bosoms.” Rook suddenly remembers something extremely urgent that they have to take care of in Minrathous and vanishes.

Emmrich, who firmly believes that there is nothing shameful about consenting adults having sex, suggests that Lucanis explain it to Spite himself. Lucanis, who would rather eat a meal prepared by Viago than explain sex to a demon, tells Spite to ask Emmrich next time Lucanis is asleep.

And that’s how Emmrich ends up teaching a sex ed class at two in the morning.

Spite Wants To Set A Flame

Lucanis (and by extension, Spite) have been helping Bellara with her romance novel. Flowery language and smut metaphors lead Spite to some surprising conclusions.

╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗ prev Part 8 of Burn After Reading banter series next ╚══════════════════════════════════════════╝ Enjoying my work? You can leave me a tip on Ko-Fi | Have a request? Part of an on-going series of fan-writings. See the full Masterlist here.

As someone on the autism spectrum, I remember struggling with interpreting metaphor as a young person A LOT. As soon as it was introduced in Veilguard that Bellara was writing some smutty fanfiction, the first thoughts I had were "Oh, the neurospicy gang is gonna struggle." (Mainly Taash and Spite.)

This is fanfiction written by me, @ellie-writes-games. These are NOT actual screenshots from the game. Peace, love, and mad props to the DA writers.

rookanis players: why isnt Lucanis' romance more passionate, more physical!! Why is he so subdued and quiet!! You barely even kiss!! Lucanis, fresh out of a year in a demonic torture pit, having just had one of his two remaining family members taken from him just as he's freed, almost losing Treviso to the elvhen gods which are a) apparently real and b) that he's apparently now responsible for killling and who, oh yeah, also is always literally on the brink of exhaustion because he can't sleep or his spite demon goes around causing mischief and sniffing people: rook, mi vida, please give me a break
