King of Crows

Hemlock and water of the river for his crown, steel and serpents as his blades, with passion vine and a murder of crows as his armor, dressed in shadowed blue and regal purple.

Based on the King of Spades card.

Notes: Updated to include an alternate version. The original imitates the coloration style of most traditional playing cards. In the second card, I've created an alternate version, with skin and hair colors taken from unmodded screenshots, and then slightly darkened to match the overall tone of the card.

Rook is still in the Fade prison. She's going to be there for a while.

Full chapter on AO3 here.

Chapter Summary:

In Chapter 12, Illario and Spite successfully pulled Lucanis out of his mind and Illario passes the POV back to Lucanis. (Grudgingly.)

Lucanis is now back with the team and they are all hurting. Manfred passes out death letters from Rook, which Lucanis and Spite refuse to read. Illario comes up with an idea and secrets are revealed.

Chapter Excerpt:

“There are still a lot of leftovers,” Bellara said gently. “We can buy more ingredients and send food around again if you need to cook.”

Lucanis wasn't sure if it would help. The leftover cacio de pepe that reminded him of Rook had tasted like nothing but renewed some strength. “I don't know what to do with myself,” he said. “I'm not tired. I've done nothing for three days.”

Bellara looked tired, sad, and worried. “When everyone is back, we'll make a plan.”

“AND SIX BACKUP. PLANS.”

The words struck a sharp pain through his chest.

Illario strolled into the dining hall, holding something in his hand. “Cousin, remember when you left for that special training in Antiva City?”

He frowned at him, wondering where this was going. “Which time?”

“The first time.”

He had been thirteen, Illario twelve. It had been the first time apart since the death of their parents. The weeks-long training had been brutal and exhausting and without Illario, he had been miserable and alone. “Yes, why?”

“Do you remember what you told me to do before you left?”

“No.”

“We agreed to write down our days, so when you returned, we could switch journals and know what had happened while we were apart.” Illario frowned. “You forgot.”

“I did not forget,” he protested, remembering it now. “I was not given the time.” He could barely hold a pen or keep himself awake for the few hours he was allowed to sleep during the training.

“I did it. Every day. Multiple times a day.” He set a journal down on the table and pushed it towards him. “It made me feel like you were there with me the whole time. Like I hadn’t been left alone, stuck in my normal routine, while you were off doing exciting things.”

“Exciting things? It was grueling and—” He broke off and opened the journal. It was blank. Realization crashed through him. “For me?”

“For all of us. Tell her what’s happening.”

“WRITE TO ROOK?”

“Let it keep you sane,” he said.

“That’s a really great idea, Illario,” Bellara said.

And here's a preview of the Rook Book - entries by Lucanis, Illario, and Taash.

Queen Of Crows

Bane of cruel men, her wit cuts almost as sharp as her daggers. Beauty and grace with a resolve as adamant as the hardest of steel, she outshines diamonds.

Based on the Queen of Spades card, companion to the King of Crows.

Notes: I've included two versions. The original imitates the coloration style of most traditional playing cards. In the second card, I've created an alternate version, with skin and hair colors taken from unmodded screenshots, and then slightly darkened to match the overall tone of the card.

(And yes, I've got an alternate version for the King of Crows as well, which will get posted a little later 🖤)

Written for the Spring Dragon Age Big Bang

Pairing: Merrill / Solas

Rating: Mature

Summary:

Merrill is alone. Marethari made sure the clan held no home for her. Hawke made his distance clear, and his friends followed suit. Only the demon to keep her company in Kirkwall, her days and nights are consumed with her mission. And if a wolf stalks her dreams? It's nothing. She made a promise to herself, and she will pay the price of what it costs.

happy pride! remember that being a transgender is everything but fiction. there are so many real historical figures from every century about whose transgenderism we aren't even aware of

I am just. So completely and utterly insane about Rea and Nymh's friendship. A Sith and a Jedi who have each become completely disillusioned with their respective sides and therefore understand each other like no one else can.

Having to work with each other during the fight against Revan and his cultists was eye-opening for both of them. Nymh showed Rea that Jedi can be pragmatic instead of dogmatic, and that they aren't all emotionless automatons like Rea has been taught. Rea showed Nymh that Sith can be honourable, merciful, and reasonable - she even risked her life to save Nymh at one point. That whole experience changed something on a very fundamental level for both of them. So when Rea ended up in carbonite on Zakuul, Nymh left her crew and the Jedi Order and her whole life behind to join Lana in her efforts to rescue Rea, because she couldn't live with the idea of not trying, not after Rea saved her life. Leading the Alliance together gives them both what they wanted the most - a home and a purpose outside of the neverending Republic vs Empire conflict.
