there are a few reasons i really don't see solas talking for varric - but this is just my view, not a condemnation of anyone else's!
while i do believe that solas has a good read of varric, he'll also be about ten years out of date on his specific mannerisms, phrases, etc., while rook would be intimately familiar with them. also, tidbits like "varric" making fun of solas for having porn in the lighthouse seems... odd, for solas to do. not because he couldn't, but i just don't see him necessarily thinking about that particular angle. there are several moments like this, where i'm like, okay but would solas think of saying that right now?
solas is in the regret prison. i list this for two reasons: first, he is cut off from the outside world except for his tenuous blood bond with rook, a connection that i don't believe allows him a significant enough amount of power to create and actively puppeteer this facsimile; and second, he is in the regret prison, actively being haunted by his own memories and regrets. i don't think he has the mental bandwidth to play at being varric on the regular
it seems to me much more effective, sustainable, and realistic that solas simply prevents rook from recognizing that varric is dead. all that requires is preventing them seeing the evidence of his death, which is evidence of absence, not presence. he can also gently twist the things other people say to rook, but again, i don't think it's active manipulation. it's more like planting a strong suggestion, and then the mind works to support that preconceived notion, particularly when it appeals to rook
in this view, it is rook's knowledge of varric that colors their conversations, which would present a much more reliable, realistic version of the man they knew - because it is literally sourced from them and their expectations. solas is very clever, and while that doesn't always work out in his favor, i think he is clever enough to recognize that turning rook's own mind and own desire for varric to be alive into the mechanism that makes "varric" realistic is very up his alley

Legend's return
She ignores reason because this is her preferred outcome, and she will fight for it against her own rational mind. Liff isnβt dead. She got there in time. Somehow itβs going to be okay. - Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Memory (inspo)
