    Summary

    A Carta spy and a jaded author meet and part. And meet and part.

    And then there’s a hole in the sky.

    Heroes are everywhere, but neither of them really think they fit the bill. They just want some peace and quiet. Guess they’ll have to make it themselves.

    Summary

    Thedas is at war. The Conclave is destroyed. Divine Justinia is dead, and with her, the world’s last hope for peace. Until out of the ashes stumbles a lone survivor…

    “The two of us are the only people who don’t believe this whole ‘Herald of Andraste’ bullshit.’
    Cassandra said nothing. Varric rounded on her, horrified.
    “You’re kidding! Seeker, tell me you don’t—”
    “What better explanation do you have, Varric?” she replied, voice sharp and defensive.
    “Anything! Any explanation is better! I am not anyone’s saviour. This mark is just...just some shiny shit from the Fade.”

    He’s not the hero they expected. He’s definitely not the hero they wanted. But Varric Tethras, Herald of Andraste, might just be the hero they’re all stuck with.

    Oh well. At least it’ll make for a good story.

    Summary

    The cave was cramped, dark, and unbearably hot. Rescue seemed a very distant prospect. None of this should phase a Seeker, but Cassandra wasn't trapped down there alone.

    She had to be stuck with the most trying, distracting dwarf in Thedas.

    Summary

    '“You hated it.” Well, shit.

    “I wouldn’t go that far. I cried through that ending, too. And I thought you made us all seem like sweet, upstanding, well-adjusted people, who have most certainly never been thrown into a Tevinter prison.” She said with a hint of a knowing smile on her face.

    “But…”

    “Well, I just thought… And, I mean, I wasn’t thinking this was gonna be completely truthful about everything, but there was one plotline in particular that seemed very…” She trailed off, willing him to just understand what she was saying.

    “Now Rook, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” But his trademark smirk and the mischievous look in his eyes said otherwise.

    “Varric, you [Spoiler for Dragon Age: The Veilguard]”

    The glint in his eyes and his shit-eating grin both grew tenfold. “Come on, you have to admit, you didn’t see that one coming.”

     

    Or, Rook has just finished reading the first draft of “The Book of the Red Rook,” and her biographer has certainly taken some… interesting creative liberties. Rook isn't sure how she feels about the new additions to her story, and the biographer's wife really should've been given some sort of advance warning for the sake of her mental health.
