Relationships: Lucanis Dellamorte/Emmrich Volkarin, Lucanis Dellamorte/Spite/Emmrich Volkarin

Rating: E

Chapters: 7/11

Summary and additional tags under the cut.

Summary: Lucanis doesn't trust the new necromancer at first. Bringing the dead back to life? A waste of his hard work. Yet, Spite insisted upon meeting Manfred and soon enough, Lucanis found himself in the necromancer's room, with a steaming, untouched cup of tea before him.

Lucanis was exhausted, worn down and held together only by the frayed strings of his own determination. Every fibre of his body was wrung tight with tension. Emmrich made an offer to relieve some of that tension, and Lucanis refused... At first.

It was perfectly normal, especially when faced with the impossible, to seek stress relief with another. Except, Lucanis wasn't that kind of person; he didn't do that sort of thing, and especially not with a necromancer. And yet, each time he chose to return. Each time he lingered that bit longer, reaching for more, and Emmrich carefully helped Lucanis piece together the broken parts of himself with something neither of them expected.

But the gods don't wait for healing, and Lucanis still has his contract to fulfil.

This was my piece for Tension, a fanfic by @galedikarios for the Emmcanis Minibang! It was a joy to read the fic even if the moment that caught my eye to draw was VASTLY tonally different from the rest of the fic. I'm excited for everyone to get to read the fic and excited to participate in more group events in the future!

Yearning

By JaxonFracs

Art by @shevaara-art

Pairing: Emmrich/Lucanis/Spite Rating: Explicit Archive Warning: Major Character Death

Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3 - Chapter 4

Summary: The elven gods have been defeated. Lucanis and Emmrich had formed a strong relationship that developed into something far beyond friendship during their adventure with Rook. Now, they mourn a lost friend, and must spend months apart from each other as they navigate their separate worlds. Writing letters to each other just isn't enough for either mage or rogue, and eventually Emmrich comes up with an unconventional method for them to speak with each other once again, and do much more...

[shevaara-art]

Ready for some spice? Lucanis and Spite are having some fun, while Emmrich guides them through pleasure 👀💦

Full art available at my Bsky account

Chapter 3 of Yearning is up right now on AO3! Go read it [here] and leave lots of kudos to Jax for the amazing fic he wrote!

Baking with Lucanis

So, @larxicana wrote an absolutely delightful fic for the Mourning Coffee Emmcanis Minibang in which Lucanis is a baker. It's called Hearth and Honey, and you should totally be reading it right now! In Chapter 1, Larx describes a tomato basil bread that climbed into my synapses and wouldn't leave.

So I made it.

It is delicous, and I will 100% make it again, though I might tweak it a little to amp up the tomato flavor. I might also bake it a little longer or hotter for a more sturdy crust, but it was completely done and delicious as-is.

Recipe below the cut.

Adapted from this recipe from Salad in a Jar.

Tomato Basil Bread

Ingredients

Leavening

237 g water (~110 deg F, or hot from tap)

7 g active dry yeast

25 g sundried tomatoes, chopped

1 T oil from sundried tomatoes

Dry ingredients

330 g all purpose flour

73 g whole wheat flour

3 g Diamond Crystal salt

1/4 t garlic powder

2 t dried minced onion

Add-ins

2 T fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

Mix water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl and set aside while you prep remaining ingredients

Mix wet ingredients in a small bowl and set aside

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside

Add wet ingredients to bowl with yeast and water, then add dry ingredients

Mix until it comes together into a shaggy dough

Knead about 8 minutes using a KitchenAid with a dough hook, or knead by hand until dough is beginning to become springy

Knead the chopped basil into the dough (about 2 min)

Form the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl covered with a tea towel

Proof for one hour or until doubled

Shape into a loaf, place in loaf pan and allow to rise for 20-30 min

While loaf is rising, preheat oven to 400 deg F

Once risen, turn oven down to 350 deg F and bake for 30 min

Remove from oven and butter the top crust lightly, then let rest in pan for 15 min

Remove from pan and cool completely (around 45 min)

Slice and enjoy!

Hearth and Honey - Chapter 1

Hello everyone! It is my pleasure to share with you the piece I wrote for the 2026 Emmcanis Mini Bang!

I'm so happy with the way it turned out. I hope you enjoy it, too!

Updates will be posted every day until all chapters are up. It's still technically being written, but I have 8 of the 10 written and ready to go. I hope to finish it in the next few days.

Summary:

The Hearth and Honey Bakery was only a year old, but had really taken off. Lucanis had developed regular customers, including his very sweet neighbor who ran the bookshop next door, and began to receive more and more requests for custom event cakes. He could even afford to finally hire someone to help with the work load.

Building his perfect little life in Nevarra City hadn't been easy, but he loved the place he found himself in now; doing something he was passionate about, something that made him truly happy for the first time in decades.

He loved his new life, and he would fight tooth and nail to keep it, no matter who threatened it.

Here's my art for @larxicana's amazing fic, Hearth and Honey, for the Emmcanis Minibang hosted by the Mourning Coffee discord server! This was my first time offering art for an event instead of a story, and I was extremely nervous, but I had a lot of fun! And yeah, I'm still learning, but I did all right ;) Beneath the cut I'm including some less polished concept sketches I did too.

This was a Big project for me, the longest I’ve ever spent on a something like this, and the first time I’ve done something I would call a full Illustration! also the first time drawing gore of the comfort character and it was SO FUN I learned so much working on this, and Elefluff was so helpful and encouraging the whole time!

Find her on Bluesky @elefxxk.bluesky.social

My fav details were on the flowers and those got pretty covered up so!

the flowers are based on a real plant! monotropa uniflora, a parasitic plant that looks truly creepy, I love it!

Chapter 1 — Antiva

"You are being ridiculous."

"I am being careful, Teia," Lucanis said, frowning down at the list in his hand. Behind him the Diamond buzzed with its usual activity, the murmur of conversation and the clink of coin from the public level blending with the more deliberate sounds of Crows going about their business in the Sanctum. "You have all the notes on the fledgling training?"

He looked up in time to see her roll her eyes. "Yes. I told you, yes."

"It's important, Teia. It can't wait until I'm back." He felt the low-level apprehension he'd been battling for the past week take another lurch upward. "Maybe I should—"

"If you say 'maybe I should postpone my trip' I am going to have Viago drug you and the two of us will throw you in the back of a carriage."

"Teia."

"I mean it, Lucanis. You're going. We've talked over all of this a hundred times already. We have it covered."

He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I wasn't going to suggest postponing. I just want to be certain that—"

"Stop worrying. It's only a month. What can go wrong in a month?"

The question sent a shudder through him. "A lot."

"We'll take care of it," she said, her tone reassuring even through her exasperation. "Caterina is hardly going to let the House fall. Even Illario has started making himself useful on occasion."

He gave Teia a dark glare, which she ignored. "You deserve this, Lucanis. You and your necromancer friend have been talking about making a tour like this since before the fall of the gods."

"I know." He sighed, looking at his list again. There were still several items they hadn't talked about, and his mind insisted on adding more.

Always. More.

Lucanis shushed Spite's grumbling and tucked the list into his breast pocket. "I appreciate the help, Teia. You know I will return the favor if you and Viago ever want to get away."

"You're a dear," she said. "Just be sure to bring us back some of the wine you sample."

He started to reply then saw her gaze shift to focus on something behind him. "What is it?" he asked, his shoulders tensing.

"You are about to be ambushed," she murmured, the hint of a smile playing over her lips.

In a flurry of footsteps, a familiar redhead hurried up and threw her arms around him. "Lucanis!"

"Harding?" He returned the hug, blinking in surprise. "What are you doing here at the Diamond?"

"We just happened to be at the Lighthouse, and then—"

"Where are we taking this?" Taash came around the corner, holding one end of a large trunk.

"Just here is fine for the moment." Emmrich appeared behind Taash, his face pink with exertion. He set down the other end of the trunk and smiled at them. "Lucanis! I'm a trifle early, but I didn't want to be the cause of any delay."

"Welcome to the Diamond, Professor Volkarin," Teia said with a warm smile. "We are so glad you are here to take Lucanis off our hands."

Lucanis shot her a look and then moved over to greet his old friend. "I am glad you made it. Though I did not expect you to bring these two along," he said, nodding at Taash and Harding.

"Like I said, we were at the Lighthouse, and then Emmrich stopped in to pick up some stuff from his old room, and one thing led to another." Harding blew a stray hair out of her face and gave Lucanis a grin. "Ready for your big vacation?"

"I will be," Lucanis said, eyeing Emmrich's luggage. "That is a very large trunk for a four week trip."

"You should see the other one," Taash muttered.

Lucanis's brows rose. "The other one?"
