that question keeps repeating in my mind. i just want to know when you're there, without me, how have you been? have you missed me? because i keep on missing you in my mind. i can only hope that when you're there, you're happier. i want to see that smile on your face, like when... we're in love again.

I kept this to 2025. Of fic's that I've written this year I'd recommend:
Never the Straight Path (word count 56,954)
Relationship: Grey Warden Rook x Lucanis Dellamorte
Summary: In a Thedas where the Chantry teaches that Soulmates are sacred, a cynical Warden finds that seems to be more theory than reality. Rook has two blighted gods to track down a kill, so he goes to the Antivan Crows to hire an assassin. When he finds out that the assassin, Lucanis Dellamorte, is his soulmate, he doesn't believe things will end well for the two of them.
I typically write shorter fics, 1k - 30k. I'm not great at stringing long stories together, but this was one of my longer fics that I write this year

Love in Our Veins
Relationship: Blighted Ashur|The Viper x Blighted Rook de Riva
Summary: The gods were dead, Treviso still stood. She should be happy. Yet Rook remains haunted, by the Blight from Tearstone and the events of the war against the blighted gods, and the betrayal of love lost. Sent to Minrathous to oversee the Crows aid to the Shadows, Rook hopes to find forgiveness and peace.
This is technically a series. A lot of times I'll write individual scenes and oneshots about the same characters. I love the dynamic of posted-Blighted Ashur and post-Blighted Rook de Riva together

The Gentleman and the Dragon
Relationship: Shadow Dragon Rook (Hawke as Rook) and Emmrich Volkarin
Summary: Snapshots of how Malcolm Rook and Emmrich Volkarin fell in love.
This is technically also a series but again it's one of several shorter fics. Hawke as Shadow Dragon Rook was one of the earlier playthroughs of the game and I had a lot of fun with it. An older, experienced Rook with Emmrich appeals to me, and these two are so adorable together.

Murder Nugs
Relationship: Davrin x Neve Gallus x Rook Ingellvar
Summary: A body turns up with dozens of tiny knife wounds. Cellars are broken into and the only thing harmed are potatoes and vegetables. Is it ghasts, a blood mage's escaped experiment? Griffon's Monsters and Mysteries is on the case!
This fic was written for Day 7 of Davrin week and came about because of a conversation about nug hangs with mutuals, the conversation between Davrin and Lucanis where one of them fought nugs controlled by a blood mage, and a somewhat cracky idea.

Blighted Hearts
Relationship: Ashur|The Viper x Rook Thorne
Summary: Warden Selene Thorne, better known as Rook, hasn't been back to Tevinter since going into self imposed exile 5 years ago. Since then she's joined the Grey Wardens and recruited by Varric Tethras to help him hunt down the Dread Wolf. Stopping the Dread Wolf's ritual unleashes an entire new host of problems, including drawing her back into issues within Minrathous, and reunites her with someone she didn't think she'd ever see again.
This fic was purely self indulgent and features a Tevinter Warden Rook and Ashur as a pairing. Selene and Ashur were betrothed as children but it was dissolved when she failed to show magic talent. They meet later as Warden and the Viper.
Short Angsty selfship fic from my self-insert point of view (Xion x ichiban)
I wish he'd come back and save me. He won't though, I hope he has found happiness. I genuinely believe he deserves that happiness. I only wish I could be a part of it. I think he's the closest to heaven that I've ever had. I can only hope he still thinks about me the same or at all.
I want to at least give all his stuff back, I still don't know why Arakawa left it all with me. Perhaps he knew what Masato had done to me and felt guilty or something else. I shouldn't ponder the thoughts of the dead.
I heard Masato died in Ichiban's arms…… Did Ichiban care more about the man who almost killed me then me? No, he probably just doesn't know what happened.
I shouldn't be thinking these depressing thoughts sober. I should get a drink……
