She Deserves Better Than This by onelooseskull

Summary
His head fell back against the chair. A young woman like her would never be interested in a lecherous old man like him. And if, miraculously, she was interested, she deserved more from him than this. More than filthy, depraved thoughts from a man nearly old enough to be her father.
She deserved much more. She should be courted, be dressed in gold and fine silks, never to want for anything for the dest of her days. He would be lucky to be on his knees before her, reciting sonnets about her beauty and wit until she blessed him with a smile.
But his traitorous hand fell to his length. Even the barest pass of his palm drew a quiet hiss out of him. He shouldn’t. He couldn’t. Rook deserved better.

Summary
Rook's ability to commune with the dead has always been more of a curse than a gift, especially in the Mourn Watch where her past made her an outsider. Emmrich, her former mentor, saw potential in her when no one else did. But a failed mission left her confined and certain he'd abandoned her when it mattered most.
Years later, as a member of the Veilguard, Rook finds herself face-to-face with Emmrich again—still a professor devoted to his research, still the man who believed in her.
She speaks to spirits, but his heart is the one voice she can't hear.

Summary
It’s been four months since Dahlia “Rook” Mercar stumbled forth and became a hero, bringing an end to the Blight. Most stories end with a happily ever after, but when the end brings forth the death of gods, there are always repercussions. Happily ever after will come, but not until the aftershocks fade.
