Characters: Rook [Saar] Laidir, Lucanis Dellamorte
Pairing: Rook/Lucanis (Rookanis)
Word count: 266 words
Early on in their relationship, Lucanis asks the Qunari how he likes his coffee. He already knew Saar's favorite dessert and what brew paired well with it. But he wanted to know about the type he had in the early mornings or in the late, sleepless nights.
It... it was different! There was a, for lack of a better word, flavor of domesticity to it, to greet someone every day with a cup made just to their liking. And coffee had always been important to Lucanis: the fresh smell of his shared childhood with Illario, the rich aroma emanating from the villa's kitchen.
Lucanis wasn't particularly a fan of loud, personal demonstrations of love, more flair than feeling. His cousin would put on a whole show for his fling of the week, rose petals and live musicians and restaurant reservations to sweep anyone off their feet.
And clearly it does work, if Illario's track record is anything to go by. But it's not for him.
Lucanis feels just as strongly - he's Antivan, after all! (Viago seems to be an outlier when it comes to matters of the heart, although just barely). It's just that his passion comes in form of little acts of service.
Most people would, and do, find this side of him boring. For an assassin, he didn't seem very exciting. And sure, maybe how much sugar someone takes in their dirty bean water is something deeply personal to him, but not everyone can relate.
As it turns out, Saar isn't "everybody". And he likes his coffee with a little caramel mixed in.
a weekly update to let you know that YES, I'm still down bad for lucanis and spite dellamorte, who (in my canon) are also in love with each other
a few crownari (it's... how I've nicknamed their kids...) doodles under "read more" because I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. and if you're wondering, no I haven't drawn all of them, there's a total of 5. and I've got character arcs for all 5, it's a whole thing at this point (´∀`;)
alright fine I do have one with all 5 of them (first panel is directly after the events of the game, second panel is like a whole decade later)
[hangs head in resignation] I'm back at it again with more gay shit...
I've got a lot of stuff with spite from the same rp from that last picture because I just went insane with affection for this spirit
I refuse not to be unhinged about him btw <3 this is my rook asking him "hey can you keep your ominous, glowing eyes open when we kiss so I can stare deeply into them? it has to be weird"
and a bunch of other stuff (I draw him drooling / slobbering a lot, my bad if you're not into that. I can't emphasize enough how feral he can get)
and as a prize for putting up with me this far, here's horny shit idk if tumblr will flag but I tried to at least censor the titties
I haven't been able to work on a full piece, but I sure as FUCK have been drawing a lot of these guys (this is only a fraction of what I've made). some of my favorite out of context expressions under the cut:
