Summary
Amara Savani is the disgraced eldest daughter of a Tevinter magister who has spent the past fifteen years in the Necropolis after an incident in Minrathous made her a political liability. She's carved out a life in exile - throwing herself into her research, she's come to enjoy her time in Nevarra, even with the ever-present shadow of her family never far from her mind. When her younger half-sister Ursa finds a love match in the youngest son of a prominent Altus family, Amara's unmarried status is the only remaining barrier to their engagement in the eyes of the prospective groom's traditionalist family. Unwilling to submit to a life with the political candidates her father has procured, she strikes a deal with Emmrich - come to Tevinter to marry her, and receive her dowry as funding for his research.
Unable to see his friend trapped in a loveless marriage, he agrees - and the two of them embark on a journey to Tevinter, determined to keep up the ruse long enough to make it back to Nevarra... but Minrathous has other ideas.

Summary
After dealing with the fallout from Weisshaupt, Renya "Rook" Laidir decides the gang needs a fucking break and makes them all take a much-needed vacation to the Rivaini coast. Only, with a group like hers, there's always trouble on the horizon. Maker knows she has her own troubles, such as her new relationship with the handsome necromancer already on the rocks and the arrival of a troubling figure from her past.
Anyone need a palate cleanser after the Siege of Weisshaupt? Good lord, why couldn't we get a scene like in Inquisition where the gang is just...playing cards or something?
Rated E for shEnanigans....but also eventual smut.

Summary
Jane & January grew up in a career military family. Jane fulfilled her family's expectations of what it means to be a Shepard; strong, straightforward, a leader. January on the other hand was too nerdy, meek, and overall uninterested in heroics to embody the family legacy. Happy to support her sister from the sidelines, January was there through the attack on Eden Prime, Saren’s treachery, Jane’s resurrection, and the final fight with the reapers. That is, until her sister didn’t need anyone anymore. Her final death saw to that.

Summary
“When’s the ball?” Rook asks with a sigh. Lucanis’s smile tells her he took the question as an agreement.
“One week from today,” he says. That leaves seven days for him to teach her how to act like a Crow. Seven days for her to strengthen his resistance to blood magic. Seven days to get a grip on her emotions and not let slip the one secret she holds closest to her heart.
---
Illario's throwing a masquerade ball to crown himself First Talon, so Lucanis and Rook do the only logical thing: sneak in as a Crow couple to save Caterina. It's a fool-proof plan with only three issues: Rook's not a Crow, Lucanis is susceptible to Illario's control, and they're not a couple.

Now, a few years later, she is Rook Ingellvar who lives quietly in the city's magical district as a tea shop owner.

Summary
“How’s Rook?” The words burst out of him like a dog breaking off a leash.
Bellara stopped.
“Bad.” Back turned towards him, she continued, “I almost said that you can imagine, but you can't, I guess. Not like I can. The Blight is… a lot. Too much by now. When it's over, it's… It will be a relief. For her.” She let out a shaky breath and turned around. “So thank you. For coming."
We will help.
“Death is my calling, after all,” he said. “It’s what I do best.”
After almost a decade of a tumultuous relationship, Rook and Lucanis made the choice to cut ties for good. Yet when Rook's time comes, Lucanis visits the Weisshaupt fortress to make good on a contract taken ten years ago — to see Rook through the end of her Calling.
Placed in the series for chronology. Can be read as standalone (and was written basically before anything else in the series).

Summary
Rook and Lucanis were absolutely definitely for certain NOT doing anything inappropriate in the kitchen.
They're simply enjoying coffee. Looking flushed. Sitting very politely.
Don’t mind the spilled honey. Or the crooked button. Or the scratch on the table.
Everything is completely normal.

Summary
From the moment they met, Emmrich had viewed Rook as a sensitive, delicate little thing, but this sharpened reality. Her fragility wasn't abstract. It wasn't metaphorical. It wasn't just the foolish romanticizing of her softness by a man in love with her.
It was real. It was written into the architecture of her biology, the scars carved into her very body.
And just for a moment, he could have sworn he felt Death breathing at his ear—its voice, cold and familiar, taunting him as it whispered:
"She was mine first."

Summary
After the battle with Elgar'nan and Solas, the team went their separate ways. Yes, even Rook and a certain ice mage - despite the promises made beforehand. Rook kept herself busy in Treviso, rebuilding the city she loved, until a grisly mystery washed up on her shores too close to home (literally and figuratively) for her to ignore. She needs to go back to Minrathous - but what and who will await her there?
Or: Neve and Rook aren't speaking, but a series of murders are thrusting them back together again... Eventually.

Summary
“Did that flower spit at us?”
“Well, in a manner, although,” Emmrich blinked a few times. His face was spattered with pollen of the same vibrant color of the center of the flowers, the purple-red spots of pollen bright against his pale skin. “Flowers are technically the sexual organs of a plant.”
“So it just…“ Rook tried not to laugh. “Dinner first would have been nice.”

Summary
The ship that docked looked vaguely familiar, but none of the identification that ART pulled for me told me why. It seemed like a human ship, though, since it was named after the ship Commander Shepard had commanded before it got blown up. Not while saving the Citadel, of course, just in a geth attack on the fringes. And Shepard had gone with it. Dying a hero in some stupid cleanup mission, go figure.
So you can see why when the cameras showed me Commander Shepard walking through the corridors, I was a little skeptical.

Summary
She gives him a pointed look, the kind that makes something curl low in his stomach. “And what, exactly, do you suggest I do now? I still haven’t got what I wanted.”
Before he can stop himself, the words slip free: “What you wanted was disappointing sex.” The small, still-sober part of his mind begs him to stop there, but the alcohol loosens his tongue further as he continues, “I could give you what you need.”
The air between them goes very still.

Emmrich didn't want anything for his birthday. Rook disagreed.
He expected dinner. She gave him something better: two books, zero clothes, and an open invitation to finally fuck her over the bookstore counter like he's been fantasizing about since the day they met.
