Andraste's Grace

A little something for Day 1 of Hardingweek2025.

"I think that should do it?" Harding spoke as Rook brought in the last sack of dirt and dumped it unceremoniously next to the new pots. "And careful, don't break the new pots you got me."

"Sorry, Lace, but you have had me hauling dirt all morning"

"You said you wanted to help me," Harding teased as she got down and opened the bag and started adding to each of the pots. Each was a slightly different shape; one round with short walls, another taller one with a narrow bottom and tappered out as it went up, and the last a small, plain looking pot a few designs etched into it.

Rook had spotted them while shoping in Treviso with Lucanis. They weren't fancy, but she knew Lace would appreciate them all the same.

"So, do you know what you're going to plant in them?" Rook asked.

Lace hummed as she filled them. "I'm not sure. Thought maybe a few flowers from home? But I'm not sure which ones yet."

Rook picked up the smaller pot, her fingers tracing over the etchings. "Could we maybe plant Andraste's Grace in this one? If that's okay with you, they are yours-"

Lace turned and covered her hands over Rooks, "I think that sounds wonderful, Zoe. But you have to help me with it, since it's your idea."

All that Rook could do was nod, trying to stem the flush on her cheeks. "Y-yeah, I can do that."

Some screenshots of my baby girl Rook (Therena). She's in @ladyinthebluebox's amazing Treasure Hunter's Two-Piece - LOF Armour Set. Given that these screenshots were taken in the last parts of Act 3 (since I just reloaded a save just to put Therena in it), the lightning didn't quite fit with the outfit, but I still love my baby girl so much.

Lucanis often wonders how Rook manages to keep up with herself.

It seems like she’s always going at mach-speed. Like anything less than constantly vomiting words out of her mouth is a catastrophic failure on her part.

Lucanis often wonders how Rook manages to keep up with herself.

It seems like she’s always going at mach-speed. Like anything less than constantly vomiting words out of her mouth is a catastrophic failure on her part.

There's rarely a moment of quiet if she’s in the room. If she’s not excitedly discussing things with the rest of the Veilguard, then she’s narrating everything she does to Assan or Manfred. If she’s not doing either of those, she’s muttering under her breath to herself. Lucanis would think she was the one possessed by a demon if he didn't know better.

She's no different on the battlefield. She’s constantly moving, bobbing and weaving and slashing. He’ll think he’s finally locked onto her position so he can cover her, and then suddenly she’s 40ft away again, screaming a battle cry and diving into the fray before anyone can even think to stop her.

He thinks she’s probably never done anything quietly in her life.

He sees it too, in the way she cares for everyone around her. The way she’ll help every wayward vagabond that looks at her with slightly wet eyes, or the way she’ll rush to be a shoulder to cry on for any of her friends. The way she stoops to put a coin in every panhandlers tray, and the way she coos at every flea-ridden feline in all of Thedas that comes within arms reach. Of all the things Rook does loudly, she loves the loudest.

He found it overwhelming when he met her. A year of near constant isolation, and the first friendly face when he found his freedom was this bundle of energy and noise. Some days he would escape to the pantry purely so that he could find silence. It’s safe to say, between her and Spite, he never found any.

But things are different now. Spite is quieter, and Rook… Well, Rook isn't. And yet Lucanis finds he’s glad for it.

She’s taken to keeping him company while he cooks. He stands over the stove and she leans on the counter next to him, talking. He mostly just listens, making a few affirming noises when it feels right. He never says more than a few words, and she never runs out of things to say. If it was anyone else, maybe he’d find it tiring, but it’s not anyone else. It’s Rook.

While Rook is around to fill every silence, there’s still a chance they can win.

While Rook is keeping him company and talking his ear off, they’re safe.

She’s safe.

He’s not sure when that became important to him, but it is now.

So now he relishes it. Every muttered curse directed at no one in particular, every compliment offered to every mangy cat. Every strange gargled noise she makes at Manfred, and every time he can hear her behind him on the battlefield. All of it means there's still hope that they make it out of this. All of it means she’s okay.

And if he’s starting to say more than a few words? If he’s started making comments about things he knows will send her on a tangent while he peels the vegetables?

Well. Maybe he’s trying to love loudly, too.

"26. A letter to Rook from a family member or close friend" for Cara from the codex game, please~

It took me literally forever to come up with what Viago would write to Cara, but here we are and I think this feely pretty accurate. I hope everything is readable. Enjoy!

It Was Happenstance, Really

Now up on AO3.

Emmrich Volkarin has never been to Fantasy Therapy, but has read enough books to know what should - theoretically - break someone else out of a panic attack. Which is great, because Rook is having one in the library right now.
