    Summary

    He came to know her in the big moments: how she knew that Illario was always to blame, how she leads with honesty even when the truth is difficult to hear, and even how she sees him despite Spite.

    But he falls in love with her in the little moments: the way she she can always make him smile, the time they spend just sitting together and read, and how always she waits so patiently for him.
    There is no expectation, no standard, no demand—just her smile, a cup of cioccolada calda, and an invitation to stay.

    Summary

    !Finish the game first please! Set after Chapter 6, with references to major plot points. Trans Rook too, heads up.

    As a Mourn Watcher, Rook is more than familiar with the chill of the dead, and the consequences of growing up in the Necropolis. But when that past festers to meet him on a job, he's quick to downplay it - much to Lucanis' annoyance.

    Hurt/Comfort where Rook pushes himself too far, and flares up a chronic illness/fever he'd long supposed gone.

    As dubbed by @Bethenhiemer, "Spite and Lucanis bonding while dragging their unconscious crush through the Necropolis."

    Summary

    "He hears a strangled sound – a laugh poorly disguised as a cough – and maintaining his dignity becomes significantly more difficult at the abrupt reminder that Emmrich can hear everything Spite says."

    Self-indulgent and slightly silly Rookanis feat. a decent amount of sleep deprivation, a slightly touch-starved Crow, and an elven Rook who, at the end of the day, just wants kisses.
