WITH PLEASURE
So, my beloved friends, have you heard tell about Fake Dating? That terrible trope where two assholes think they can pretend to be in love for a dumb reason while actually being in love? Yeah, that’s happening. Mostly because Flutie told me to and I have very little impulse control. This mess is all your fault and it’s gonna be fun
Tentatively titled And I Play It On Repeat, this fic is a Modern AU where Rowan and Erik meet in high school and become fast friends, only for Erik to inadvertently disappear from his life, as abruptly as he’d fallen into it in the first place. He leaves a very confused and distraught Rowan behind, who wonders what happened and doesn’t know what to do with these feelings that don’t feel quite as platonic as they once did.
Years later they’ve reconnected and they’re roommates. Both of them are stupid in love with the other, but keep it to themselves for Reasons™. When Rowan’s got to go back home to Cobblestone for Thanksgiving and face his mother trying to push him back towards Gemma, Erik offers to go - he’d do anything to get Rowan to stop looking as though he’s about to walk before the firing squad, even if it proves to be a disaster.
Rowan knows it’s going to be a disaster, but…he’s not sure he can pass up the chance to see what it would be like, to actually get to love the boy he loves.
Or, pretend to, at any rate.
Here’s a snippity snip:
When Veronica’s foot made contact with Erik’s shin under the table, he scowled at her before heaving a sigh. “I might have done something stupid.”
“How’s that different from any other day of the week?”
“Veronica,” Serena scolded, lips turning down into a frown over her mug.
“Would you just-” he huffed. “I might have said I’d go back to Cobblestone with Rowan for Thanksgiving.”
Veronica’s eyebrows shot up. “Well, shit.”
“That’s not even the worst part,” Erik grumbled.
“Spit it out, then.”
“Uh, I told Rowan I’d pretend to be dating him to get his mom to lay off.”
Veronica spat out a mouthful of tea.
“Oh, Erik,” Serena murmured, passing her twin a stack of napkins before sighing. “You didn’t.”
I plan to start posting not too long after Once Upon A Dream ends, so you know, if that sounds like something that would tickle your fancy, keep an eye out.

Sir Hendrik got his behind handed to him
Honored Luminary. Last Prince of Dundrasil. Rowan has many names, and doesn’t feel he’s lived up to any of them, what with the hole in the sky where the World Tree once bloomed, and a victory that feels hollow in the aftermath. When he’s offered a chance to do it all over again, he doesn’t have much of a choice. He’s the Luminary, and his life isn’t his own to live, and he’s about to learn just how much is lost when one loses time.
Canon Divergence AU: The Luminary returns to a former place in time with an interesting new ability that might prove to be more of a curse than a blessing.

Rowan watched her with a small smile, a warmth unfurling in his chest.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Veronica demanded.
“I’m just glad you’re here, is all,” he told her, offering a grin. “I’m not sure we’d get anything done if you weren’t.”
“Of course you wouldn’t,” she struck a haughty tone, even as she ducked her head down to hide her own blooming smile.
They both turned to the sound of a knock.

The sheets had been clean when he arrived, laundered somewhere outside of Lowtown he suspected, otherwise they would not have been so white and crisp. The linens at Hawke’s hoity-toity manor were just as pristine and he wondered briefly if Merrill had asked Orana for tips, or if perhaps there were some kind of blood magic spells for cleaning. He shook the latter thought out of his mind, embarrassed he’d had it. Surely blood would just make things worse.
But the sheets were clean, though they didn’t stay that way. It was a long walk from the Deep Roads, and under his Warden blues he was sweating and dirty. He thought she’d want him to take a bath since padding and plate could only keep out so much of the filth. But as soon as his armor was haphazardly balanced on a rickety chair she slipped her lithe arms around his shoulders and pulled him into her bedroom, eager and deceptively strong.
