romancing lucanis - a story told in memes
One of the many reasons, I will argue that this is his best armor set and should’ve been his heroic one. Totally unique to him and so Spite themed/ Spite positive. It’s just encompasses their entire relationship and looks so good with the wings out.
Lucanis' corset lives rent free in my brain
Just visited Holden and his daughter Mila in Hossberg and you know what banter I just got?
Holden asks his daughter if they’ve earned a treat that day, she of course agrees and the dad essentially says “Good, cause Rook’s Crow friend brought me some cioccolata calda.”
Lucanis went out of his way to purchase, package and hand deliver luxury coco (you know it’s not cheap, he’s Rockefeller level rich) to a child he met exactly one time in the middle of a battle to thank her for saving their lives. What a sweetheart. What an angel. Pookie bird. Love of Rook’s life.
I can’t not marry this caffeine-addicted bird man.
So, I’ve decided I’m always gonna take Lucanis on Harding’s personal quest, because she says this little line:
“We will thrive, in spite of you.”
Which reminds me of the Hebrew proverb:
“Living well is the best revenge.”
And to me? In my mind? As my Rook and Lucanis both embrace her as she’s having this revelation and in saying that? It feels like Spite was there, too. Giving her the little nudge she needed to power through the bulwark of her grief, as Lace Harding. Not just a Child of the Stone. To live her life as a wholly free Dwarf that no longer requires the presence of the Titans in order to be “enough.”
To become her own person and truly be.
Because it’s hinted/shown in the art book that the Dwarves already existed when the Titans were walking around, but solely served as the caretakers of their giant bodies. Sort of swarming out of them like ants to clean up the hive after a storm.
So, maybe the sundering of the Titans granted them freedom? Free will, even if it came without dreams or magic? Certainly something to think about.
So, not really a spoiler. More of a headcannon related to a banter. Lucanis tells Taash he has a pet snake. One that, one would assume, was kept by the Crows while he was trapped in the Ossuary.
No idea what kind, but did he bring it with him to the Lighthouse?
And if so, does it live in Harding’s greenhouse???
Cause she’s the only other dedicated Rogue (Belara is a mage who happens to use a bow) and she’s used to animals, right? I just picture her working in there at the beginning, pulling out all the dead stuff/planting new sprouts and a little corn or king snake just slithers up and she has a heart attack, cause she doesn’t know it’s a real (because they’re in the Fade).
And Lucanis (freshly recruited and very tired) just spends the next several days apologizing, cause it’s the only place warm enough and he can’t rightly keep it in the pantry with him. So, they end up compromising.
He buys a tank for her to put the snake in at night and she lets it wander the garden during the day to eat bugs and mice that might wanna nibble on her plants.
And just to add into my own post, a kiss in the rain?Wings out? Just leaning into Rook, like his life depends on it…???
Just saw another tweet with some concept/story boarding art from Lucanis’s romance…???
Fanfic girlies take notes (I am girlies)
His wings were supposed to pop out during/ to interrupt a kiss? Romance scene in a gondola? Possible multiple sets of wings when he’s really pissed/Spite’s crashing out? A lake scene? (Possibly at his family estate…???)
So many ideas…

So, Lucanis Dellamorte is in like his early 30’s? And his parents were Crows, said they died like Crows (on the job), when he and Illario were little and around the time Zevran returned to Antiva to take on the Talons, he would’ve been maybe 10?
What I’m getting at here, is that Zevran did some stuff so heinous to the Crows that he has a standing contract on his head that nobody’s brave/stupid enough to accept (there’s a note about the contract in game for a Crow with sexual prowess and an impossible contract) and what could’ve been that bad? Perhaps, killing the First Talon’s daughters/sons-in-law?
There’s at least some chance it was him, right…?
Everyone : Im so annoyed Lucanis and Neve are always flirting during their banter and there's just one big romance scene at the end.
Me:...
ROMANCED ZEVRAN IN DAO WHO FLIRTS WITH EVERYONE (i love him for that tho)
ROMANCED FENRIS IN DA2 WHO FLIRTS WITH ISABELA AND SLEEP WITH HER IF YOU DONT ROMANCE EITHER OF THEM (and ghost me for 3 years but we dont talk about that...)
ROMANCED GARRUS IN ME2 WHO HAD ONE SCENE AT THE END WHERE WE TOUCH FOURHEADS (BUT HAD SOME SCENES IN ME3 THANK GOD)(And him and Tali)
Still...wouldnt romance anyone else because they are the most devoted and would kill everyone for you. 😌🥰
(Cullen broke the pattern with his amazing romance full of scenes 💖)
