Summary
After the Battle of Minrathous, Rook left. Letters dwinndled. Words went unsaid. A year later, Lucanis Dellamorte is First Talon of the Antivan Crows: respected, feated, and quietly drowning beneath the weight of power, politics, and ghosts.
Pressured to marry for the good of his House, he agrees to a desperate lie: a fake betrothal to the one person he cannot forget.
Rook is everything he has ever wanted and everything he believes he cannot have. Now, bound by contract, pretense, and proximity, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur, and pretending might be far more dangerous than telling the truth.

All My Friends Are Sad & Bright by sorrygoldfish
Fandoms: Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Video Game)

Summary
Rook's life is a mess, objectively speaking, and keeping the Lighthouse coffee bar running after the year she's had isn't making it any easier. Then she meets Lucanis Dellamorte, a rich guy with enough skeletons in his closet to fill a graveyard, and her life gets even messier. Grief is weird, being an adult is hard, and falling in love might be the messiest thing of all.
This is a story about two people falling in love, but it’s also my love letter to the friend group. It’s not a very serious story, except when it is (because life’s not that serious, except when it is.)
(Title from the poem by Cameron Awkward-Rich)

Summary
ossuary (ˈäSHəˌwerē) noun 1. a container or room in which the bones of dead people are placed. 2. the final resting place of skeletal remains.
Thought dead by his family, Lucanis Dellamorte, the infamous Demon of Vyrantium, spends over three hundred days languishing in an impenetrable Tevene prison at the bottom of the sea. But he doesn't do it alone—and like it or not, his new demonic cellmate may be his only hope of escape. Sometimes the only way to fight your demons is to make a deal instead.

Steal my heart (Regency Romance AU) by Frotee

Summary
Marchioness Caterina Dellamorte has decided that her grandsons need to wed. Her grandsons have other ideas.
So does Rook, who is considered a hopeless spinster at the age of 26, but her parents have decided to give her one more chance to find a match.
Finding a common cause, Rook and Lucanis hatch a plan to get both of them through the season without having to deal with debutantes and suitors.This fic has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the game. It is set very roughly at around 7:80 Storm, and I am taking *Liberties* with the history and people of Thedas and pretty much everything else (except, hopefully, the core of the characters) to suit my story.
Disclaimer: I have not read the Bridgerton books, but Rook is basically Eloise in this one.Bookmarked by blightwashed

Summary
After a year away studying in Nevarra, Rook is called back to Treviso unexpectedly to take on an unusual contract. House Dellamorte wants to crush an attempted power grab from a collective of smaller houses, and they want to use a lavish event to lure the traitors out. That event? The wedding of The First Talon and The Hero of Thedas. Now Rook finds herself needing to convincingly play the bride-to-be despite her rocky past with Lucanis and growing doubts about her place in the Crows. One thing is for certain: This will end in blood, one way or another.

Summary
After the world is saved, Rook settles back into life in Dock Town. It's a good life, really. There's just one weird thing. She keeps seeing Crows following her around the city. Apparently, the new First Talon has put out a contract on her. Rook is mostly offended he's not bothering to do the job himself.

Summary
Shepard came to a stop near the piano, in front of the large windows overlooking the Silversun Strip. It was odd to feel as peaceful as she did with a view of the bright neon lights and skycars zipping by in a blur.
But her days were usually filled with the sounds and sights of battle, of death and destruction. In comparison, the Silversun Strip pulsed with vibrancy and life. Others would see gambling, playing arcade games, and watching combat simulations as frivolous pastimes.
However, for Shepard, seeing people laughing and enjoying themselves reminded her why she was fighting. She wanted to give everyone a chance at this kind of peace, a chance to live free from the threat of the Reapers.
----------
Some additional scenes for the Citadel DLC, because let's be honest, I didn't really want that party to ever end.

Summary
While she’s on (forced) medical leave, a certain turian crash lands in Shepard’s backyard. Instead of leaving him to bleed to death like any sane person would do, she takes him into her home and nurses him back to health.
(Because, as Vega would put it, she’s a goddamn girl scout with the self-preservation instinct of a moth near a flamethrower.)
A first contact AU where rather than immediately going to war with the turians, the first human to meet a turian instead maybe sort of falls in love with him.

“Garrus, there’s no rush.” She took a calming breath and cupped his cheek. “We can take our time. There’s plenty of time now.”
A pained look shot through his eyes before he closed them and nuzzled into her palm. “Jane,” he sighed. He looked at her for a long moment, searching her eyes for something. “Wake up.”Series
