    Summary

    This fic was inspired by the video game Wanderstop.

    Evara "Rook" Mercar, a former operative of the elite Shadow Dragons. Has walked away from a life built on blood, precision, and unrelenting usefulness. After a near-fatal mission and being forced into burnout recovery, Rook retreats to the remnants of her childhood—her late parents' tea shop, “The Veil & Vine,” long preserved by her estranged brother Solas.

    Now, a few years later, she is Rook Ingellvar who lives quietly in the city's magical district as a tea shop owner. There she meets Professor Emmrich Volkarin, a respected forensic anthropologist with a gift for corpse whispering and an all-time tea lover. He is invited to Minrathous as a guest lecturer.

    Summary

    "We wake and whisper awhile,
    But, the day gone by,
    Silence and sleep like fields
    Of Amaranth lie."
    - Walter de La Mare

     

    Emmrich Volkarin had never intended to step foot inside a brothel. But Orlais was a land of color, temptation, and masked truths, and something about the velvet dusk, the wine-sweet air, the perfumed streets—all of it—it stirred in him an ache he could no longer reason away.He told himself it was curiosity. He told himself it was harmless. A clinical indulgence of something so many others had sampled. He gave a false name and stepped through the brothel’s door expecting artifice, practiced flirtation, and emotional distance. Sating of a curiosity. Once. Just once.

     

    He did not expect her—
    And from that moment, Emmrich’s careful world began to tilt.

    Summary

    Emmrich Volkarin led a very punctual and measured life. After all, there are only 15 registered forensic anthropologists employed by the Coroners in the entire country. Routine was, after all, its own form of ritual. Maintain, continue, provide. Trudge along in rhythm.

    But sometimes, ritual becomes interrupted - and a new path unveils. And he should like to be unraveled.

    -A series of Modern AU one-shots set with Emmrich Volkarin and Evelyn Parker (AU Rook) told non-linear-

    Summary

    “You feel so deeply,” She squeezed his hand once more.
    “It is completely impossible to feel anything less for you, my dear.” He kissed her hand, hazel eyes examining her scant grave gold. Perhaps she would allow him to change that.
    “Must you always have something enchanting and passionate to say?” she laughed through a cough, flustered by him yet again.
    “I always choose my words carefully,” he whispered, their competition resumed. Warm lips a hair away from her skin, his breath hot against it. He wished to court and woo her properly, but when she looked at him like that, like he was all she wanted, it wore heavily on his resolve. If only he were a weaker man.

     

    Emmrook fluff and more as they navigate having feelings and trying not to scare each other away.
