    Summary

    It was a near windless half-hour of waiting. Of only her cloak and hair occasionally moving, her body as rooted as a tree. Later she would remember this day mostly as metals. Silver of the valley. Iron of the rocks and the clouds. Zinc of the evening storm in its full fury. Rare gold of the sky as it chose now to break open. Her silence matched her stillness, until at last, there, out of the mist: marching men.

    *

    Or, a newly crowned King in the North comes to the Gates of the Moon, unaware of what he will find there…

    Summary

    Solemn, devoted Lucanis. He doesn’t know how heavy his regard is, how the force of his attention sends shivers down her spine. Dutybound Lucanis, who would never ask her to stay in Treviso; does he think it’s kinder that way? That the question, once vocalized, might clip her wings?

    He offers deaths at every turn, like each life is a bauble that caught her eye at market. The world holds perhaps a score of throats he wouldn’t slit at her word. It's sweet, in its way. Comforting, sometimes, having the most fearsome Crow in Antiva at her shoulder. Galling, occasionally, when people look at her and only see the threat of Lucanis’s shadow.

    Lucanis, holding her after the latest round of nightmares. Anchoring her to sanity with his soft beard against her cheek, his hands on her ribcage while her heart tries to beat itself out of her chest. Every night in his arms is another night she’s grateful she outlived the gods.

    Life would be simpler if she loved him a little less.

    The gods are dead, the world's a mess, no one is happy about the new Talon, and Rook's haunted by regret. Rook, Spite, and Lucanis figure out how to live despite it all.

    Summary

    Davrin had hoped to give Rook a chance to relax, a pleasant picnic out in Arlathan forest. Maybe see if this unbearable tension growing between them could lead somewhere. Everything had started out fine, perfectly pleasant. He cursed Emmrich, and himself. Damn gingerwort tea.

    Summary

    “Don’t play coy,” Neve taunts, poking at her portion of vegetables and meat, licking the rich sauce off her fork, “you can’t convince me you’ve never had to use seduction on a job.”

    “I’ve never needed to,” he confirms with another shrug. “Charm is Illario’s weapon. I prefer a knife.”

    Summary

    "Maybe in an alternative universe out there, Lucanis was able to enjoy this party that he himself was hosting, and merrily celebrate the continuation of the world with his dear friends.

    Maybe, in this strange, alternate universe, he had thought to ask the love of his life her damn name."

    Summary

    "It is a simple thing, in its parts. A strip of black leather. A beaten silver buckle. Three small holes punched through one end. A small silver ring threaded to the center."

    Hawke finds Fenris' old slave collar in his things and finds herself incredibly turned on at the idea of having him control her. Fenris is initially angry about finding her with it, but upon an explanation of what she wants and some time to think, he takes her up on her offer

    “You may find this hard to believe,” she said with a bemused little smile, “but I’ve never been served tea by a skeleton before.”

    “He’s quite precise, isn’t he?” Emmrich replied, taking a sip. “Ah, brewed to perfection once more, Manfred.”

    Summary

    He finally stopped across the bar top from her. “If you’re busy having a crisis, I can come back,” he offered, his curious amber eyes fixed on hers. “One hates to impose.”

    She snorted, looking up at him through the shock-white hair that had fallen loose from her bun during her sulk. “Does one?”

    “Oh,” he deadpanned, shaking his head, “most assuredly.”

    With Baldur's Gate rebuilt and her friends scattered to the winds, Tav decides to settle down as a tavern keeper and relax into a quiet retirement of serving drinks and spinning stories. Unfortunately, every single one of her new neighbors seems to think she's untrustworthy at best and terrifying at worst.

    Every one, that is, except Rolan.

    He unexpectedly turned as he closed the door and caught Daphne observing him. Their eyes met, she blushed in embarrassment, and—

     

    Every time he smiled, really smiled with his whole face, the world around him seemed to dim in comparison. He made her want to take up painting again. Or pastels, or any of the other art forms she’d left behind when she graduated from RISD and started her first bookmaking apprenticeship. She’d never felt compelled to make representational art, but Gale Dekarios in the full bloom of joy was absolutely worth representing.

     

    In which tiny, remote Icepeak College mysteriously hires a massively overqualified antiquities scholar in the middle of term, and its book arts workshop director finds herself inexorably pulled into his orbit. In her defense, he's really fucking hot.

    Summary

    After leaving Szarr Entertainment in the wake of a tumultuous - deliberately engineered - scandal, Astarion Ancunín has rebuilt his acting career, from the blacklisted ground up. Through a heavily doctored narrative of queer reclamation, he's finally making a name for himself, and hoping to claim prestige (and maybe a few awards) through the leading role in a historical biopic about the openly gay elven oracle, Aerthwyn Capaxath.

    The only problem is, Aerthwyn Capaxath is the worst person that ever lived (or died). Just ask Dr. Rosalie Frostsong, a thoroughly unwilling expert on the subject.

    “Our meeting is one of chance, but … welcomed. It is rare to meet the same stranger twice. It begins to feel fateful.”

    Summary

    “The demon…how did it do it?” she asks, sotto voce. She can’t tell if she’s cupped his cheek or if he’s tilted his face into her palm. Cithis leans forward, wets her lower lip and if she’s surprised that he follows the movement, she doesn’t show it. “How did it eat your desire?”

    She swears his eye flashes briefly, like light over obsidian.

    “…It waited until I was weak,” he begins, “And came to me in the night—”

    Cithis brushes her thumb across his narrow lips to stay his words. They’re chapped, rough against her skin, but that doesn’t bother her.

    “No, don’t tell me,” she murmurs, pushing inside him to press the pad of her thumb against his lower teeth. They’re flat, sharp. His mouth falls open with very little resistance, breath humid against her skin. The tip of his tongue touches her briefly, warm and wet. “Show me.
