    Summary

    That’s it, then. You sort of never thought this moment would come, but it did. Vaugarde is saved. The King is defeated. Your journey is over.

    Right. Mirabelle will stay here, or maybe go off on a pilgrimage all on her own. Isabeau will go back to Jouvente to pursue his dream. Bonnie back to their sister. And Odile to Ka Bue.
    And you…well, you’ll return to traveling, of course. Just like before. That’s fine. It’s what you’ve always done. It won’t be any different than it was before.

    You’re just glad that this story had a happy ending.

    A moment of hesitation and a faint memory leads Siffrin to make a different wish at the Favor Tree. The party of saviors find their final quest goes much more smoothly than they might have anticipated.

    This is not a good thing.

    The final day.

    Mirabelle needed a refresher on combat strategy to soothe her nerves. It worked – she was placid while discussing the circle symbolism on the key – more Change God – and while playing with Siffrin and Isabeau about the bell pendant from the cupboard in the opposite room.

    Summary

    You only needed to pretend to be human when you thought you had a family. But now you don’t. Now there’s nothing left to pretend for.

    The four people you died for over and over again wish you were never born.

    You don’t need to do anything ever again.

    (Or: Siffrin never makes it to the king in act 5. They loop again, and again, and again, until they realize they don't need to go into the House at all.)

    Summary

    Sometimes domestic life in Baldur's Heights is frogs in the flowerbeds. Sometimes it's a neighbor meticulously tending her blades in full view of the street. Gale, like any rational mind in the age of cat memes, takes his concerns to the internet.

    Summary

    “Tell me. Robert Robertson the Third. Mecha Man. Hero.” There’s something soft in the thing’s voice. Almost reverent. “What do you want?”

    His body wants to shut down. His mind wishes for oblivion. The answer is obvious.

    “Put me…back into…the fight.” He rasps.

    “Very well,” he can hear it smiling, “let’s get to work.”

     

    Or, in simpler terms…let’s do it all over again.

    Summary

    The scars themselves ranged from long incisions that stretched down his chest and right down his belly like the sharp slice of gutted livestock.

    Robert had an ‘X’ crossed over his heart like someone had taken a knife to it and unfolded the skin out like the petals of a flower to drive their fingers in between the gaps of his ribcage.

    He was thinner than Sonar had initially guessed from looking at the way his uniform hung from his body. Rail thin and gangly in all the wrong places. He had muscle, of course, more than Sonar had expected to find, but no part of him looked healthy.

    …He looked young.

    “This isn’t a show, by the way,” the dispatcher ground out as he finally turned his head back to where Sonar was slack-jawed staring. “Didn’t your mother teach you not to stare?”

    . . .

    Months pass, and Sonar learns to map out the soft parts of Robert...How long will he have, though, before the consequences of Robert’s secrecy catch up to him?

    Exhausted and with nowhere else to turn, will his walls finally come crumbling down?

    Summary

    No one in their right mind would ever seriously try to woo Lin Ronghu, the Emperor's infamously ruthless (if unofficial) spymaster.

    Not that that's stopped the local legend, a (self-described) beautiful detective with peerless martial arts. His crush is a major inconvenience - at least until there's a murder that puts Lin Ronghu's most hated political nemesis straight in the frame. Since Lin Ronghu can't believe that anyone would be that stupid, he decides that maybe having a private detective around might be good for something after all...

    Summary

    There were many such stories, he had read, where a fisherman would fall in love with a selkie and take her coat so she would forever remain a human. They would marry, then, and likely have children.

    "A happy ending," his mother had said with a soft smile, reading to him by his bedside, and quietly snuffed the candle out to tuck him in.

    What a cruel thing, he had always thought. To fall in love with something so beautiful and different, only to trap it in a world where it doesn't belong.

    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.

    Summary

    Two years after Laios' coronation, Melini is ready to start expanding outwards, building roads and settling new towns. But such ambitious ventures will require good trade and that means working to improve relations with Khaka Brud--and the hard-hearted noblewoman they've sent to delegate is not easily impressed.
    To make matters worse, Laios has become deeply depressed after receiving a letter from his father for the first time in well over a decade. Seeing Laios withdraw from him makes Kabru's heart ache for his friend, but Laios' past has stayed a thorny topic all this time and he'll need to find a new approach to get him to talk. For the good of the kingdom, he needs Laios to open up to him.
    As Laios and Kabru get closer and closer, Rin can feel Kabru pulling away. He's in love for the first time, and it's not with her. At her lowest in a long time, Rin sees Marcille crying over Falin one night and recognizes a pain they share--that pit of loneliness that nothing can fill. And she wonders if they could at least be lonely together.
    And with all this personal drama to navigate, are they going to be able to convince Khaka Brud to just pay their fair share to build a road between the two cities?
