16 for the codex prompt

(Pretending I'm not sending this to myself so I can write more Rookanis, check)

Thank you so much me. That's right, I love writing Rookanis.

16. A love letter from Rook to their love interest.

(Written in Antivan, it's only meant for Lucanis. Found in Lucanis' room after Rook goes missing)

Mi vida.

Soy consciente de que no quieres escucharlo, pero cuando nos precipitamos hacia peligrosas calamidades. Permíteme el deseo egoísta de decirte que te amo. Antes de que la guerra reclame una de nuestras vidas, por favor, déjame decirte que te amo.

A pesar de mi reticencia, a pesar de que eres aquello que el mundo me ha enseñado a rechazar y temer. Nunca pensé que serías la respuesta a mi deseo de ser visto, y ser querido tal y como soy. Y lamento el tiempo que perdimos a manos de mis propios prejuicios, espero que consigas entenderme, si es que no lo haces aún.

Toda mi vida, la gente solo ha querido una cosa de mí. Y me costó ver todas las maneras en las que me quieres en silencio. No estoy acostumbrado a que cuiden de mí, o de desear cuidar de otra persona así.

Una vez me dijiste que un primer beso es como crema de miel y lavanda. Dulce e intrigante. Espero poder probarla de tus labios algún día. Pero sobretodo espero poder seguir discutiendo sobre té y café, poder leer en silencio, poder levantarme a tu lado cada mañana, poder cocinar juntos, poder ir a comer a casa de mis padres y que puedas intercambiar más recetas con mi madre...deseo una vida juntos...

Te amo.

Siempre tuyo, Finn.

P.D. Tú también eres mi favorito, Rencor.

(My life.

I know you you don't want to hear it, but as we precipitate into dangerous calamity. Allow me the selfish wish to tell you that I love you. Before war claims one of our lives, please, let me tell you that I love you.

Despite my reluctance, despite that you're what the world has taught me to reject and fear. I'd never thought you'd be the answer to my desire to be seen, and be wanted, just as I am. And I lament the time we've lost to my own prejudice, I hope you can understand me, if you don't already.

All my life, people have only wanted one thing from me. And it took me time to see all the ways you love me silently. I'm not used to people taking care of me, or the desire of taking care of another like this.

Once you told me a first kiss is like honey and lavender cream. Sweet and intriging. I hope I can taste it out of your lips one day. But more than that I hope we can still bicker about tea and coffee, I hope we can read in silence together, I hope we can wake up next to each other every morning, I hope we can cook together, and that I can take you to my parents' house so you can exchange more recipies with my mother...I hope for a life together.

I love you.

Always yours, Finn.

P.D. You're my favorite too Spite.)

[huxtis]

I like how Cal Kestis is 32 years older than Hux. I'm not an anti I just find that funny, especially since you like Hux being older.

i have a not-so-secret secret that may shock you......................... i like both. ;) older cal and younger hux is super hot, i love the aesthetic of cadet-age hux with a dignified older man. (like thrawn!) :’) i have a modern-day kylux au where hux married pryde for money and status when he was younger and he’s got like, impeccable sugar baby vibes. (and then he seduces their pool boy, ben.)

point being, hell yeah, i like the canonical age gap whether its 18/50 or 34/66. imagine a former inquisitor cal teaming up with rae sloane to, erm... remove young armitage from his father’s influence and ending up with a lapful of horny ambitious ginger firebrand for his troubles.

Asks: 5, 16, 22!

5- What is the perfect environment for you to write in?

Most ideally, it’s sunny outside. In chunks of time where it’s not (ie all of winter) and I do a fair bit of writing just an. astonishing proportion. of that will be written in the bathtub, where I can’t see that it’s cloudy.

16- What is your most underrated fic?

Restrospective is underrated because it’s short, but I think the concept of “The History Channel tries to parse the Eyepocalypse afterward in their usual fashion” is hilarious.

For longer stuff, hold you closer, my Flesh!Martin fic, with an honorable mention to Infinite, the Vast!Martin fic. I love Web!Martin as much as anyone, but y’all need to open your eyes to other options! *gently pats top of Martin’s head* this boy can hold so much Entities in him

22- Have you cried while writing a fic?

I don’t cry for media easily, but hold you closer and various bits and permutations of teen jon have gotten me close. Apotheosis starts out as angsty as it is because I started writing it as a distraction to make me stop crying

6 & 13 for Rook prompts!

I can't belive some else sent me prompts thank you so much 😭

Very late game spoilers be warned.

6. Healer's summary of treatment of Rook's wounds.

(After Rook is pulled away from the prison)

They've been searching for weeks, and when they finally pulled him out he- He wasn't breathing. Two of them, the Crow and the Warden acted quickly, maybe it was part of the training but what I know is that they resucitated him while the others came running for me.

I don't know if I'm doing a good job, but I'm the only healer here since lord Pavus forced me out of the Eluvian (to safety he said) I'm a better Necromancer than I am a Healer. I hope I'm enough.

I wish...father was here...

-Leah Hawke

Rook woke up after a couple of hours, he still seems lost. He tried to tell us but he's been told to rest for a moment, mister Dellamorte brought him some food and water.

I've been talking to him. He has completly lost his sight on his left eye from the wound he got at Weisshaupt. It was okay before any of this happened. Whatever I was doing wasn't enough.

I wasn't good enough as a Shadow Dragon either. Lord Pavus- Dorian. Wherever you are, please be okay.

-Leah Hawke

20. A message between two companions about Rook.

(Notes found in Lucanis' pantry)

I'm worried about Rook after Minrathous and Treviso. Do you remember how he used to stop to talk to every beggar and pet every animal he saw?

I understand your feelings, it could've been Treviso. But please try to understand him too.

-Lucanis

You don't understand because you drove the dragon away from Treviso. But I get it, I worry too. I've been talking with Bel, and she's right, there was no right choice, was there?

I'll talk with Rook, eventually. We're in this together.

I like that side of him as well, and I want him to keep finding the strenght to be kind even after all of this.

-Neve

Thank you Neve.

He asked me to make fried fish for today, he's trying, he really is.

-Lucanis

Well isn't he sweet?

-Neve

[lgvalenzuela]

10 and 23 for the Rook Ask game please! (Dissonant verses here lmao)

Thank you! You're probably the only one thats gonna send me these so I appreciate it!

10. Note found in Rook's pocket

(After Weisshaupt)

Rook

I don't know how you hurt your eye during the battle, but it's beyond what I can do. I can point out some more experienced healers, but I can't say if it can be completly repaired.

For what I've seen I'd say you're going to start losing your vision. You should try to go see a healer every so often to delay it. If you're worried about your friends finding out I can try to do it.

But just try to take more care of yourself, please. We need you.

-Leah Hawke

23. Excerpt from a play dramatizing Rook's actions

Look at what I found

-Neve

(Extract of Venatori propaganda)

"The only real requirement for Rook's actor is that he has to be handsome. So all the scenes where he uses his charms to sway away our rightfull cause make sense"

Is this written by that Venatori who wondered how I smelled like?

-Rook

I knew I should've stabbed them when I got the chance...

-Lucanis

I've got more biting remarks made about me on the papers. To the point even the Venatori are complaining for being way too positive about Rook.

-Neve

3, 9 for Rook and LI?

Thank you so much for the questions!

3. How long does it take for them to officially be together? Did any of the other Lighthouse members have any suspicions beforehand?

I think Lucanis and Finn would most definetly have different responses for this. Lucanis would say right after Finn helped him patch things up with Spite, and he made tarta de limón for him.

However this blew completly over Finn's head because he's used to people being a lot more forward with him and didn't quite get the subtlety.

So they were dating for like months and Finn just didn't know, he knew Lucanis loved him and he loved Lucanis but not that they were official. He realized during Blood of Arlathan when Lucanis wanted to kill that Venatori 'on the house' for being creepy about his partner. And Finn full on went "Partner??? We're together???" And Lucanis is "Rook we've been dating for three months"

They made everything clear when they went back to the Lighthouse and Finn just happily accepts that they're dating now (they were already dating)

During the first few weeks I can see the girls watching Lucanis and Finn fumble every social interaction they have, and wondering if Finn is ever going to like Lucanis as much as Lucanis liked him. When Finn starts liking Lucanis as a friend they cheer Lucanis on the distance. Neve might want to place some bets.

Davrin really cares about his good friend Finn and thinks he has the worst taste in men he's ever seen, but with time he does see that they genuenly care about each other.

Bellara and Harding find their fiesta flirts absolutely adorable because they get so shy about it. Especially knowing that Finn is not shy at all and having genuine feelings for someone threw him for a loop.

Taash caught their scent and hates both of them for not doing anything about it, Spite absolutely agrees and can't stop bothering Emmrich about it.

So basically everyone knows before Finn.

9. Does your Rook bring them out often? How are they like in the battlefield? Do they banter much?

When they reclute Lucanis, Finn tries to have the least amount of interaction with him as he can (he has a personal distaste for the Crows because he was raised by Zevran, and he's also uncomfortable with the possesed person) but reluctantly he takes him every time he goes either to Minrathous or Treviso (he has to be convinced to do this because it's the smartest thing to do on both cases) Lucanis does want to know more of him because he really likes him, but he's not up to break any boundries, so they don't talk much, but Lucanis always looks for him and falls in love with him more and more every time.

However after the attack on Treviso and Minrathous, Lucanis just appoints himself as Finn's loyal guard and he is going to go with him to every mission want it or not. Finn does realize at this point it's because Lucanis really really likes him (although he does not belive he's in love with him, he is, because Finn does not belive people are capable of falling in love with him) and he doesn't know what to do with this, but does give him an opportunity and becomes more vulnerable and real with him. Which does lead them to talk more and fall in love with each other.

They also bicker a lot about coffee and tea.

Even at the begining they're surprisingly compatible on the battlefield. Finn, being raised by an Antivan Crow knows more than he should about how Crows fight and how to aid. And Lucanis spends so long looking out for him, he learns about Finn's patterns and how to aid him. After Finn loses the sight on his left eye Lucanis also always stands on his left side so nothing can take Finn by surprise.

The only other person Finn has this much battle quemistry with is definetly Davrin. If they're all together you better run.

10 and 17 on the LI asks

10. Do they have any nicknames for each other? Who uses terms of endearment more?

Lucanis calls Finn 'mi amor' and Finn calls Lucanis 'mi vida' ('my love' and 'my life' in spanish) Although it takes them a while to start terms of endearment at all, Finn is definetly the one who starts and does it more often.

17. What's your Rook's favorite thing about their partner? What is their partner's favorite thing about Rook?

Finn's enamoured with Lucanis' caring and protective nature. Finn doesn't have a good opinion on the Crows, but Lucanis (accidentally) wears him down by taking care of him quietly (making him tea in the morning, putting a blanket over him when he falls asleep...) and appointing himself as his protector in a way, he follows Finn wherever he goes want it or not, and always stands on Finn's left side because he got a nasty scar that made him lose his sight slowly, and Lucanis always stands there to see for him.

Lucanis' likewise also loves this about Finn, but he also just loves his kind and gentle nature. How he stops to help everyone no matter how small the task, how he gives money and has a conversation with every beggar he meets, of stops to pet every animal...He knows from the begining he is going to be treated with so much respect (and maybe for the first time agency) even the first few months they know each other when he knows Finn outright hates the Crows, and he is uncomfortable with the possesed person (he gets over it)
