Summary
It was so simple, so routine for him to call upon the many fluttering wisps that called this place their home, just as he did, and guide them into a new purpose. He had performed this ritual hundreds of times. He would perform it hundreds more, surely. Though familiarity did not equate to tedium for Emmrich, not in the slightest, he had to admit the rhythm of it all was quite well worn. He surrendered himself to it, the proper gestures and incantations, the sensation of the Fade and its gentler denizens pressing close around him, answering his call.
So lost in the moment was he, that Emmrich did not hear the footsteps approaching down the long and ruined hall, nor the nervous voices that accompanied them. He did not hear, until it was already upon him, the sound of his life being forever changed.
------
A mostly canon-compliant following along of the romance between Emmrich Volkarin and my Grey Warden Rook.
Or: the delicious tragedy of an older man who is terrified of his own mortality slowly falling for a younger woman who has long since come to terms with her own.

Summary
[found on a table in Emmrich’s room in the Lighthouse after a visit to Dock Town]
A note from Rook, attached to a worn scroll yellowed with age:
Professor,
Overheard you discussing Dalish funerals with Bellara when I was speaking with Rana at the Wall of Light. I remembered a scroll that the Veil Jumpers unearthed that had sat in storage waiting to be catalogued correctly. I’m no translator, but my ancient elven is half-decent and I happen to have an interest in and personal connection to Falon’Din.
—Rook
P.S. Don’t tell Bellara where you got it from. I’m in enough trouble with Strife as it is.
————
A collection of codex entries for Rook, building on canon events and adding to the world of Thedas.

Summary
Emmrich is fallible, and Rook- she brings him to his knees, eager to vie for her attention like he was a hungry dog. Maybe he is, he thinks- he’s loyal, exceedingly so. He can be softer, in those tender moments when he forgets all the heartache. He’d be a good companion- eager to heel at her touch and follow her into the darkest catacombs for a glimpse of the way her eyes soften right before she laughs at one of his jokes. He thinks of honeyed moments from a life that he dare not spend too long on- moments with a crackling hearth and a warm hand upon his nape, soft fingers undoing his tie-pin and dragging him in by his vest for a saccharine kiss.
or:
Emmrich yearns about Rook being his wife in a series of drabbles.
