@caudaumbra
Don't be shy - introduce yourself.
Of course, sorry.
Salutations, Fade-Dweller!
I'm Cauda Umbra (she/her) from the Counterweight Continent.
I sail the Good Ship Emmrook, over the oceans of fan fic and fan art, and with my toes dipped in that ocean, I wanted to add to it. You can find me here on AO3 and probably poor memes from time to time here.
Keep reading for more about the who and the why if you are curious and in the mood..

Rook Week 2026: June 21st - 27th | Prompts | FAQs | Ask the Mods
The Fourth Regret by CaudaUmbra [AO3] - Rook Appreciation Week 2026
Out of hope, out of time and facing an eternity trapped in Solas' Fade prison, Rook must find peace with herself and her decisions in order to find a way out. This story is often told as a tale of three regrets - two for the fallen and one for the missing, but little is heard of the fourth regret - the one for the heart and the words left unsaid.
@rookappreciationweek comes to an end and thank the Maker so does this fic! Here's Chapter 3 of my short three-part arc exploring a regret this Emmrook never got to see.
Day 7 Prompt: “Hope”
The Fourth Regret - Chapter 3 - "An Indomitable Hope"
In which Rook realizes that hope was never lost, it was always right there with her, guiding every step of the way.

Remaining hopeful..
.. at least until I admit I’m hopeless!
Even if I can’t hit the date, I’ll finish this fic, if only for Varric who wants to see how the story ends.

While on an expedition to the Hossberg Wetlands to destroy a blight overgrowth that's been calling to the Grey Wardens of Lavendel, Professor Emmrich Volkarin's corpse whispering accidentally reconnects a skeleton to his old desire to wrestle every Tadpole in the region he sees.
Alas, I didn’t know about Rook Appreciation Week before publishing this, but it’s too late now.
“Crikey!” is my first ever fic, a one-shot short adventure featuring Rook, Emmrich & Taash. It’s loosely classed as Rook/Emmrich but it’s perhaps still in the hints of “unexpected interest in a new companion” phase. .. and we all know I have only one answer to that question:
Thank you to The Fade Discord Community for enabling encouraging me.
