The heat is rising, the tension is unbearable, and the line between control and surrender is razor-thin. If you haven’t started Death’s Kiss yet—what are you waiting for? Now’s the perfect time to dive into this slow-burn, tension-fueled journey between Rook and Emmrich!

📖 Read from the beginning: Act One, Chapter One 📖 Latest chapter: Act Two, Chapter 16

💀 Chapter Sneak Peek: The air is thick with the scent of her skin now, rich and warm, laced with the faintest trace of salt and something deeper—a hint of musk, raw and intoxicating. A strangled noise escaped him as the ball of her foot pressed firmly against his sternum. The warmth of her skin burns into his chest through all layers, forcing him back, further into the bed, the softness of the sheets brushing against his back like an almost cruel reminder of his helplessness. A helplessness that he would not fight for the world. He feels every inch of the fabric against him, the coolness of his clothes now feeling oppressive, foreign on his heated skin.

🔥 What to expect in Death’s Kiss 🔥 ✔️ Delicious slow-burn tension ✔️ Power play, restraint, and surrender ✔️ Emotional intensity & longing ✔️ That sweet, sweet Veilguard angst ✔️ Rook & Emmrich at their most vulnerable

💬 Reblogs, comments, and kudos fuel my writing soul! Let me know your thoughts—I love screaming about these two with you all. ❤️

Thank you @thepalehorsevictoria for starting the rental contract this chapter! I love Tara.

And of course, thank you @zecarnevilcat for the scene inspiration! I may or may not be stalking your work for more inspo o.o

Are you as obsessed with these two as I am? Do you have existing Rook x Emmrich art that captures their tension, chemistry, or raw emotion? Because I’d love to use your work as inspiration for my fic, Death’s Kiss! ✨

💡 How this works:

I’m not commissioning art—I just want to celebrate and draw inspiration from already existing pieces!

If you’ve drawn Rook and Emmrich, I’d love to craft fic moments inspired by your work.

Whether it’s angsty, intimate, soft, or downright devastating, I want to bring those visuals to life in writing!

📢 If you’re okay with me using your art as inspiration, drop a link, tag me, or DM me! I’ll always credit and link back to your work. Let’s build more love for this ship together! ❤️
