Summary
It's become habit, to linger in the study with Neve when the both of them should be asleep. Sometimes Rook reads one of Bellara's serials, or one of Emmrich's books. Sometimes she just watches Neve put the pieces together. And sometimes she wants to talk. Tonight, she wants to talk. About a few things, but mainly women.

Summary
Healing potions help with broken bones and big cuts, sure. But after fighting darkspawn (and not getting out of the way when Taash and Davrin told her to) and ending up black and blue, Vic's in need of something a little more relaxing and a little more home-remedy - a good bath with soothing oils borrowed from Emmrich. Nobody ever comes to look for her, she always looks for them, why would this time be any different?

Summary
It's only natural for them all to have nightmares when they're fighting gods, and darkspawn, and Venatori. Neve just wishes they weren't so realistic. And that they didn't involve Vic.
Here's to fic ideas that are as mischievous as wisps and refuse to leave me alone.

a little distraction and a little interruption by clairdeleon

Summary
"I'll stop soon, I promise."
"No."
"No?"
Vic picks up a random note, puts it on top of the page in Neve’s notebook as a makeshift bookmark. Then, very deliberately and with barely disguised annoyance, slams Neve’s notebook shut. And then puts her hand on it, leaning forward and putting her body weight on it. “No.”
Neve needs to take a break from looking over her most recent case files, and Victoria Mercar's not going to let her return to work. Even if she needs to distract Neve with something else.
This is pure filth, please read the tags.

Summary
It's both a blessing and a curse to have Taash as a good friend. A blessing, because Taash is one of if not the most capable dragon hunter in northern Thedas. A curse, because Taash can smell - and call out - a part of Neve's outfits that Vic has a particular attraction to. Rook's appreciation for Neve's gloves is about the aesthetic only, and certainly not about imagining those gloves on her bare skin. Not at all.
Set sometime after first kiss but before the point of no return, implied Neve and Rook have hooked up before.

Summary
“She’s still standing,” Davrin promises. “She’s still alive.”
“She’s blighted,” Vic whispers. “I didn’t—”
Davrin’s hand wraps around her wrist, the touch of his sword-calloused fingers warm and grounding. “She’s here,” the Warden says, firmer.A missing moment from after rescuing Neve. Because she deserves to be reassured with more than just words.

Summary
The most interesting cases always come from unknown numbers, this is just a fact of solving crime in Dock Town. Unfortunately for Neve Gallus, Tarquin and Ashur fully took advantage of that fact to set her up on a blind text conversation with someone they think may be good for her. The catch? No asking personal questions - no asking for name, gender, hair color, build, anything that could identify Neve's Unknown. The goal? Get the detective a partner in crime (solving).
Between solving her Unknown case and the one Varric Tethras brought her, Neve's booked and busy. But not so distracted that she doesn't notice the former Dragon that Varric brought with him.
Modern AU with magic. Rated for eventual filth.

Summary
Neve isn't religious. And yet, when Victoria 'Rook' Mercar is tricked, trapped, gone - she figures it's worth a try. Anything is worth a try if it could bring Vic back. Right?
Post Point of No Return. Neve's dealing with her feelings of faith while Rook is stuck in the Fade.

Summary
The merchants of Dock Town aren't always the most trustworthy sorts. Emmrich learned his lesson, but he's from Nevarra, of course he didn't know. Neve assumed Rook would, being from Minrathous herself, but when Vic accidentally purchases what the merchant told her were sleeping potions and turns out they're actually more of a "sleeping" potion... well, they're just going to have to work through it, aren't they?

Summary
"She drops gold coins in bowls and pieces of her heart into every hand that brushes hers."
A character study of my Rook, Victoria Mercar, and her open heart. And her 'oh shit' moment when she realizes she loves Neve a little more than she's loved anyone else - and that's saying something.

Summary
It's not unusual to find weird, random rooms in the Lighthouse. Like Assan's bathing room because trying to bathe a griffon with a rag and bucket is a nightmare, or Emmrich's bedroom because sleeping on a marble table can't be good for the back. The Lighthouse seems to create what the companions want, what they need...
So when Vic finds a door to a bedroom with a large bed with teal sheets and a gold frame, and an armchair that looks an awful lot like Neve's desk chair, and a large mirror with a snake-shaped frame... well. It's not that strange, is it?Self indulgent mirror kink fic. Established relationship. There are some mentions of things from past fics in the Neve/Vic collection, but can also be read as stand alone. Light Dom/Sub. (Dom Neve, Sub Vic)
