#nyra de riva

[dreamdragonkadia]

My Rook lives to make Viago's life just a little more difficult every chance she gets. But deep down? She really does love her Fifth Talon.

"Nyra froze just long enough to make it dramatic. She turned to Viago with a gasp so theatrical it could’ve belonged in Orlesian theatre.

“I heard you missed me!” Nyra cried, clapping her hands to her cheeks and fluttering her lashes. Her tone dripped with mock surprise as though Viago had confessed undying devotion. “Lethallin! Are you finally telling everyone I’m your favorite?”

Viago stilled, the line of his jaw tensing as he slowly turned to glare at Teia. His expression was crystal clear: ‘What the hell have you told her?’ Teia only shrugged, biting down her smirk. Viago cleared his throat roughly, focusing back on Nyra with the stiff, clipped authority of a Talon in full “business first” mode.

Kill joy.

“Ny—” He paused. “Rook. This is Caterina Dellamorte.”"

But seriously, they look related for real, Solas is gonna have a panic moment.

[dreamdragonkadia]

I know the fandom loves to joke about Teia and Viago being Rook's adoptive parents (and it's adorable), but I’ve been obsessed with the idea of Rook as this almost bodyguard figure—or even an ex—to one of them. Like, all three of them roast each other mercilessly, no holds barred, but at the end of the day, my Rook would kill for them. Hell, she’s already killed for Viago.

Everyone assumes Teia and Viago are the ones keeping an eye on Rook, especially after they messed up the Talons’ plans. In reality, it’s Rook who sees everything, hears everything, and works quietly in the shadows. That’s why they aren't as well-known—they don’t need to be.

This is the snippet in my fanfic that shows how Rook views Viago, I don't know how else to word it.

"There was truly no terminology in the human language to explain her relationship with Viago. In elvish, she affectionately called him Lethallin—a term of familial closeness, of brotherhood and bond—but even that fell short of capturing the depth of their connection. In the fragmented echoes of the Elvhenan language, one might describe it as "tan'anthiral"—a bond forged not by blood or obligation, but by the trials of the Fade and the Veil. But how could she explain such a concept to non-elves? They would reduce it to siblinghood, or loyalty, or perhaps even love. All woefully inadequate.

Nyra loved Viago, that much she was certain of. He was her Fifth Talon, a guided light when everything had gone wrong. He was the one she could trust to anchor her when the Fade whispered too sweetly, when the shadows of demons sought to twist her soul. And yet, it was not romantic love, nor even the simple bond of soldiers forged in battle. The love she bore for him was something older, something primal and ineffable.

True elves, Nyra supposed, loved deeply in ways that defied categorization. It was why their legends spoke of bonds that transcended lifetimes, of spirits in the Fade who danced eternally with their mortal partners. To explain such a love to a non-elf was futile, like trying to describe the Fade to someone who had never felt its pull. She knew that Viago held her in the same regard, even if neither of them had the words to articulate it. She held the same love for Teia, her dear Lethallan.

I’m so excited to announce that my Rook's story has officially begun! Chapter One is now up, and it follows Nyra De Riva with the pairing of Davrin and Lucanis.

This is going to be a long journey, filled with familiar faces and appearances from all the heroes across the Dragon Age games—Cousland, Hawke, Lavellan, and more. I can’t wait to share this story with you all, and I hope you love it as much as I’ve loved creating it.

[dreamdragonkadia]

My preview to this fanfic, I don't have a title for it yet but I’m nine pages deep, and I’ve only made it 13 minutes into the damn game. This one’s going to be a poly fic featuring Rook, Davrin, and Lucanis. It’s slow-burn chaos [more so with Rook and Lucanis], and I’m already in too deep.

[empresskadia]

So, funny story—my Rook ended up looking exactly like Felassan, right down to the Mythal markings. And here's the kicker: it was a total accident on my part. I didn't even realize it until much later, and for a while, I was fully convinced that Felassan was meant to be a descendant of our Rook (Elvish Rook, specifically), as some sort of explanation for the uncanny resemblance. Like I genuinely thought Felassan's appearance changed depending on how we did our Rooks. But nope, that wasn’t the case at all.

Of course, this got me thinking—how would Solas react to seeing Rook and Felassan side by side? Like, imagine the man doing a full-on double take, all confused and slightly alarmed.

And then there’s the team. Picture them encountering a memory of Felassan for the first time, and someone immediately blurting out:"Uh… why does Rook have a twin brother in this memory?"And here’s Rook, deep in denial but absolutely offended:"Excuse me?? I’m better looking, and my eyes are way more purple than his. Let’s not insult me like that."

It’s hilarious to imagine the awkwardness and banter this brings into the story. Honestly, this whole scenario has me itching to write a fanfic about it—exploring not just the reactions, but also the layers of Rook being a descendant of Solas' closet friend.

Like, would Rook dig into Felassan's memories, trying to figure out why they look alike? Would Solas side-eye both of them for the rest of eternity? Would the team start joking about “Rook's long-lost twin” at every opportunity? The possibilities are endless, and now my brain won’t shut up about it.

If anyone else has thoughts, or if this sounds like a chaotic mess you'd enjoy reading, let me know! This might just be my next writing project.

[dreamdragonkadia]

I’ve officially wrapped up the first chapter of my Dragon Age: The Veilguard fanfic! Just need to do a bit of light editing, and then it’ll be up on AO3.

It follows the story of my Rook and all the canon events through my playthrough with each game [im working on a fanfic for each of them]. And it's gonna be a poly fic
