Said I wanted to get the first chapter of Maeve's main fic posted before the new year so I, uh, *checks notes* started writing about her best friend who romances Lucanis instead...
(you can read a little bit of context regarding Sylvie here. she is part of the same universe as Maeve (rook) and Mirwen (inquisitor) which is my canon DA universe ✨)
Sylvie is quiet—not shy, but reserved—even as Spite bombards her with nonsense.
Lucanis should stop the demon but…
"You smell of roses and dew. Soft," Spite observes. He hovers far too close to her, bent so low over her where she sits at her desk that his nose almost touches the pale skin where neck meets shoulder.
Lucanis does not allow himself to think about what it would feel like to press his lips to that spot.
She hums. Offhanded but not dismissive. The way she almost always addresses the demon's queries.
"It's rose water. The lotion I use after bathing is scented with it."
"Taste sweet, too?"
Before Lucanis can chastise him she begins laughing softly and the way Spite preens radiates through Lucanis' chest. Like petting a cat and feeling the vibrations of its purr.
"Roses are sweet, yes." She glances at Lucanis. "I know tea is not your favorite, but would you be opposed to me making you a cup for Spite to try?"
Lucanis' nod is reflexive. Perhaps a little overeager. He finds he would do anything she asks of him. The thought concerns him less and less by the day.

OK so Veilguard was not for me but NGL my rook was kind of a snack. Sad I can't play the game with her so I'm gonna re-tool her into an AU OC.
I was imagining her as the daughter of a Nevarran sea captain and an untrained water/ice mage bc my Inquisitor had freed the mages when she was still a preteen and her father had been avoiding sending her to a Circle by staying in international waters.
Anyone else out there with new OC ideas that just don't fit rook??? I'm so curious.
