19. Are there any particular headcanons or theories of yours that found their way into the fic?
20. Do any comments on the fic tend to favor a specific line or element? If so, what is it?
Thanks so much for the asks, beautiful friend! <3
From the Fanfic Ask Game: The great wheel of insanity fortune has landed on: I’m Fine, from the Getting Into Trouble series!
18. This is one of my trope-ier fics, since it’s sickfic. Or, really, more like sniffle-fic, which may be the mildest form of hurt/comfort that exists. Which is why I enjoyed writing it, because I love me some romance tropes and also I am only nice to Neve and Rook. /kicks longfics under the table/ Yep yep!
19. Weirdly, looking back at it…yes. I reread it quickly to be sure, but there is. Specifically, I have headcanons around healing potions, and what they can and can’t do, that snuck their way into this one (albeit somewhat obliquely).
20. Neve’s resistance/stubbornness — around her own feelings, in pushing back against being cared for — definitely got a few mentions here. It seems I’m not the only one who reads Neve as a character with a strong resistance to being nursed back to health if she thinks she can avoid it. XD

I am so late on the pick-up, but this looks awesome. Like the venerable @zennihilation, though, I also don’t know what’s most recent? So…you can give me a name or I’ll spin a wheel 😅
Many thanks for the tag, @juniper-and-dragonthorn!! And my thanks to those who tagged me last well, as well!
Of course I’m writing a fic for Lucanis Week, because how could I resist my fascination with him and his family dynamics? Mmmmm…a delectable treat for BDB. 🤌
So! I’ve got some of that below the cut!
And I’ll offer some very gentle, very optional, WIP Wednesday tags (Lucanis themed or not) to: @hyperions-light, @bygonesigh, @ofcrowsanddragons, @dymme, @mageofquandrix, @davrinsleftpectoral, @uchidachi, @theunsinkablesappho, @mythals-whore, @blackwall-my-tiny-husband, @woundedsoul12, @sandcastlekings, @becausedragonage, @wolfsong-the-bloody-beast, @tarasmom, and @andthekitchensinkao3! And, if you’re reading this and wanna play, tag!
“Again.”
Sweat stung his eyes, and Lucanis ineffectually wiped his forearm against them. It only made the burn worse, as the rough edges of leather rubbed raw his skin and let the salt sink in.
Use the pain, Caterina’s voice intoned in his mind. Pain is valuable. You must let it become a weapon in your arsenal.
Focusing inward, using the pain to cut through unnecessary distractions as he’d been taught, wasn’t working. It wasn’t centralized enough, it was everywhere. His eyes, his burning lungs, his sore and certainly bruised arms and legs.
Blunt weapons didn’t kill, but they still left a mark.
“We go again.”
From where he was hunched over his knees, panting, Illario looked at Lucanis like the latter was truly insane.
“No.” He shook his head as he straightened. Lucanis’ vision was a bit blurry, the salt in his eyes drawing out the beginning of tears, but he thought he saw the shadow of bruises on his cousin’s neck. “Enough, Lucanis. We’ve been doing this for hours. Even Caterina has left. I’m done.”
With all the thanks in the world to @juniper-and-dragonthorn, who bravely alpha read this one, and @the-sparrohawk who provided an invaluable beta read, I've finally gotten out the next chapter of The Modern AU (tm):
A Troubling Case - Chapter 3: Having a Good Night
E (for future sexual content) | 21,452 words | Neve/Rook
A snippet below the cut!
“I do have a washing machine in-unit, you know,” Neve offered. She wasn’t in the habit of letting people use her appliances; then again, she wasn’t in the habit of inviting people up to her apartment either. But, so worried about her comfort he’d resigned himself to standing by her door awkwardly for an indeterminate length of time, Rook could probably be trusted to respect her space while his clothes got cleaned.
And, if he couldn’t, she could always freeze him solid.
Rook’s eyebrows shot up to near his hairline. “I mean, that would be great. If you’re sure. I don’t…”
She rolled her eyes. “Unless you’re about to tell me you don’t wear underwear on a job, you’re fine.”
He laughed, and the awkwardness that had temporarily surrounded him seemed to crumble away. “Being picked up by the Templars without underwear? Even I wouldn’t chance that.”

@datvcompanionweeks' Lucanis Week 2026 approaches [ s w e a t s ] and I'm still preparing but I thought I would share a bit more of what I'm working on: a little bit of Lucanis and Neve as a continuation of this.
I'll tag @wolfsong-the-bloody-beast, @the-sparrohawk, @ofcrowsanddragons, @biowaredisasterbisexual, @dellamortte, and @gingervitus if you all are working on anything <3

"Are you up here brooding?"
"Oh, he's definitely brooding. Have the wrinkles in his forehead gotten worse?"
Lucanis turned just in time to see Neve level a look at Davrin, her lips pursed in disapproval, though amusement twitched at the corners. For the warden's part, Davrin looked unmoved by the silent admonishment, though Lucanis failed to miss the subtle way Neve squeeze his bicep. Hm.
Neve caught his eye and dropped her hand. To Davrin, she said, "Why don't you see if you can find Rook? Bellara went after her ages ago."
"'Went after'?" Lucanis asked, feeling something sharp against his ribcage. He was reasonably certain it was entirely internal, less certain it was not still mortally wounding.
"Don't worry," Davrin said as he began to back out of the room, a wicked gleam in his eye. "We're pretty sure she's still on the grounds."
He was gone before Lucanis could respond.
Neve looked at him apologetically. "Poor choice of words on my part." Her mouth twisted wryly. "Not the first time, unlikely to be the last."
"Rook, she—"
"Went to run an errand. Or so she said when she flew past us."
He could feel Neve's eye on him, assessing, as she raised her hands in a calming gesture—like he was a spooked animal. He hadn't realized he—or Spite—or the pair of them both—had made several rushed steps toward the door until coffee sloshed over the rim of his cup washing over his hand, the tepid liquid staining the creamy linen of his cuff.
Swearing, he stopped and held it away from him lest he create a bigger mess than he already had. Neve swooped in, taking the cup from him and setting it on a nearby table, before handing him a handkerchief from her sleeve. He took it from her with murmured gratitude and dried his hand, twisting the delicate material anxiously between his fingers.
"Lucanis," Neve said, drawing his attention, expression understanding. "She'll be back."
The words didn't quite permeate the terror though he nodded to show he'd at least heard them. Raising the ruined handkerchief, he winced. "I'll replace it."
The detective snorted. "I know you're good for it."
Happy WIP Wednesday to those who celebrate! If you'd like to share what you're working on for Lucanis Week 2026, we'd love to see it! All forms of fanworks are accepted for this event!

Last week (?) I shared a bit of Gemma for Rook week, so here's Lucanis for Lucanis week -- it'll be the same story with switching POVs for each prompt.
Making a better effort to focus, Lucanis listened as Illario continued to review the high points of Crow business he had missed. He moved from business to correspondence. When he handed Lucanis a letter, penned in a familiar hand, everything changed.
Spite swirled to the surface to read it with him.
The name was new. Healer Sulcus, not Healer Fedele. But the description he knew. The note said he was offering unique healing. Deep in the caverns of their souls, this man – this monster –remained, no matter what he was calling himself now.
He needed to be stopped before he hurt anyone else.
He had to die.
Lucanis pushed his chair away from the desk, making no sound on the plush carpet. “We are going to Kirkwall.”
If anyone else wants to share, please do and tag me!
Kind of a wip, kind of not. This is as complete as it's going to get I think, but I consider it a wip on my journey to learning art. Another where I traced the reference, but I'm really happy with how it turned out overall!
Today i bring you 2 things. Some art. Some writing. Mmmmkay?
First the art a rough sketch for @rookappreciationweek. I am back on my tarot card nonsense. This time for @jenn2d2 and Gladius
Next writing. For @sorcerousadventurer and Lydia. We have kept going with the werewolf/vampire AU nonsense from my DABB. In which Lydia is a vampire and Riley is a werewolf. And they have been enemies...until now
"Figured you wouldn't be able to handle this," Riley grimaced as she applied another salve to his wound. There was no gentleness in her as she worked, not that he was used to it. His years with the pack had hardened him against such things, almost preferring her rough treatment as she tended to him.
Plus, it just highlighted how much he was affecting her.
"Your blood is tainted with silver, Mr. Mercar." She said his name with distain, noses wrinkling as she avoided his gaze. "Even the Maker could not tempt me to drink from you right now."
He chuckled then, a low rich sound that had her hands trembling despite her many years as his mismatched irises glowed with the light of his wolf. "And when the silver isn't there, Miss Ingellvar, am I a temptation then?"
Only one week until we finally get to celebrate our favourite demon-possessed assassin! 💜 We hope you're excited!
The hashtag for the week is #DATVLucanis2026! Please, remember to tag your posts with the tag above and/or let us know about them via @datvcompanionweeks.
