Dreadtober week 2 — "Moon"

Then let me build a bridge

AO3 FIC LINK.

Summary:

The Black City was an ancient, hopeless place, smothered in primordial Blight and derelict from neglect and age, and now it was Solas' eternal home. A prison of his design, in which he was now an inmate. But he wasn't without company - Rook was still here, propped up against a wall in the immediate aftermath of their scrimmage, one hand cupped over the weeping wound on his side. It would kill him without magical intervention. Given their location, that might have been a mercy. So Solas healed him.

In the quiet of the Black City, Rook and Solas' enmity for each other wanes over time.

A/N: A late fic for Dreadtober day: 21, The Black City! A lot of stuff happened irl, so this is being posted much later than I intended, but here it is, finally! @thelighthouse-server

Dreadtober week 1 — "Shadow" :)

Made for you

AO3 FIC LINK.

Summary:

Though they were rare these days, alphas and omegas were a known quantity in Thedas. It was an affliction exclusive to the elves, one in which an elf might be born with additional sex characteristics. [...] Rook didn’t think about them much. He was a beta, after all, like most elves, and he had no inclination to learn about that part of his ancestry beyond what the Circle had taught him.  Maybe if he had, he would have been prepared for the events that transpired a few months into his conflict with the remaining Evanuris.

Well after the age most elves would present, Rook discovers he's an omega.

A/N: Late entry for day 9: A/B/O! I had a lot of fun with this one! @thelighthouse-server
