Summary
The First Talon, Lucanis Dellamorte, is called out from behind his desk to take a contract in Minrathous. His days have been filled with bureaucracy and wrangling angry carrion birds, so he accepts without hesitation.
His target is Magister Corvantius, also known as the Rook, a fixture at the top of the Tevinter Imperium. He keeps progress at bay, maintains the existing order, and has survived every attempt on his life to date.
Lucanis accepts eagerly, without fully grasping the scale of the job. Seasons turn, and cities celebrate, but their stalemate holds. Two men who only know how to do their work remain stuck in time.

Drink this, my asshole! xxxxxx
and happy birthday.”
The last sentence is an afterthought. He almost forgot that bit as it had barely any room on the paper after the loud and bold proclamation.
V is having a birthday and Kerry decided it was the perfect time for a tour. Why not? But why yes? At least he sent a present.

Very Small Knives by CryInTheVortex

Summary
Lucanis and Rook Dellamorte-de Riva complete a perfectly ordinary assassination. Their knives were not quite as sharp as usual—they had been distracted the night before—but as always, they excel at the job at hand despite minor setbacks. This time, however, they somehow return home with a child, because she informed them it was what she was owed. Right.
Calling oneself “parent” feels weighty and consequential—“trainer” sounds better. Unfortunately, the girl in question already has Caterina smirking in triumph. After years of relentless blathering about the unnecessary violence of their own Crow training, they are about to discover firsthand how well a fledgling responds to good nature and kind words.

Summary
Lucanis Dellamorte is struggling to remain a consummate professional while being employed to kill elven gods—especially when his fellow Antivan Crow refuses to stop being interesting.
They might fall in love, if either of them believed a Crow was capable of such a thing.
They might celebrate Valentine’s Day, if they weren’t too busy working and deeply suspicious of Valentine’s intentions.
They might start by simply talking to one another… though that may be asking a bit much. -

Trope-Series for Warden Rook and Lucanis by CryInTheVortex
Fandom Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Video Game)
22 Mar 2025
Summary
“Now fucking what?” asks Rook. His leadership skills fail him, and he has no idea what comes next. It's a shitshow. He has needed to piss for the last three hours, change into warm clothes that aren’t covered in darkspawn spew (thanks to the first one that decided to make an organ donation to his shirt), and here they are.
He kicks the mirror and slips, pulling Lucanis with him by accident as his body slams into his. The mirror bursts into action for a few moments, and they fall through.
Rook is on his face on the ground. His face is bleeding, judging by his fingers, which are getting dark red stains all over them. Ground drinks all traces of the blood away immediately.
Lucanis gets up. Davrin is not with them, but knowing him, he will just shrug and find a way back. Where are they? Lucanis seems to ponder the same question, in silence. He looks around. Normally, people react in situations like this with a polite profanity or a simple “where are we?” But Lucanis Dellamorte doesn’t do normal.
Adventure!
