Summary
A mage was a risk like no other kind of Crow. How would a client take it if some Crow listened too carefully to the whispers from beyond the Veil, whether it be in a moment of greed or pain or terror? How would the Crows ever recover their reputation if a Crow, from any House, could be made an abomination from something as mundane as agony?
The Fifth Talon had to be sure.
And Arsinoë, who had more practice that she would ever confess at ignoring the whispers of interested spirits, who had survived a Circle where Templars went readily with their hands already at their blades... Arsinoë had endured. Because she had to.
A mage would always be tested. Even her mother, an Apostate with more hatred for the Chantry than anyone Arsinoë had met before or since, had told her as much. A mage had to keep control.
Arsinoë had kept control.
For the tumblr ask prompt: Crow!Rook’s graduation from Fledgling to Assassin. Possibly might be retitled later.

Summary
A Collection of Etain and/or Darman-centric Republic Commando snippets done mainly for my own amusement and/or writing practice. Some canon-compliant, some AU. The majority of these will be set in an Etain Lives AU because I write fic to fix things, but chapter two is canon compliant. Not guaranteed to be very polished or make much sense.

Summary
The letter from Antoine comes about two weeks after Rook had stumbled back through the eluvian with Davrin and Bellara — filthy, exhausted, exultant. Rook seems disinclined to go, right up until the postscript from Evka that Davrin reads aloud, with a few pointed glances up over the top of the paper: “I know you’re busy, and I’m not in any position to summon you, but seeing as we did go out to meet you in Arlathan, I’d say you owe us the return trip.”
(“Oh, that’s low,” Rook had said, sounding almost impressed.)
Which is how Lucanis finds himself seated on a wall in the Anderfels with a nine-year-old, watching the last Wardens get drunk in the mud.

Summary
Emmrich had long considered resorting to fists as the easy way out. It was the choice of the small-minded and unambitious. There was always a more elegant solution, if only you cared to listen.
Or at least, that’s what Emmrich had thought.
…And then he watched Rook punch a man square across the jaw.

Summary
Lucanis Dellamorte was given a contract : find the kidnapped wife of a powerful Magister, kill her abductor, and bring her back to Tevinter.
Simple enough. Or it would be, if only the abductor in question wasn't Emmrich Volkarin and the wife in question, who goes by Rook now, wasn't terrified of going back to her husband.... and if only Lucanis hadn't been betrayed by one of his own.
---------------------
This started as a fill for the DAK asking for Lucanis to have a contract on Emmrich before the start of the game. It derailed from there, and now it's a multichapters story that goes into the events of the game itself.
Will eventually be Lucanis/Emmrich/Rook.
