    Summary

    Astarion should have died that night. In the story we know he did exactly that. Here, things went a little differently and he is very much alive.

    However, healing magic has its limitations, and the Astarion who survived is markedly different from the one that fell to the Gur's clubs.

    A month into recovery, he's still coming to terms with his loss of independence. Bedbound, partially mute, and being cared for by the same person who saved him in the first place: his mother. Apparently her adventuring days didn't fully end, even after decades of playing at being a proper Upper City wife.

    Even worse, soon his beloved father decides caring for Astarion is a waste of time and resources, and tries to convince his mother to send him to... somewhere, anywhere, else.

    It's amazing, what you start to notice when you're forced to stop and pay attention to people not named Astarion. So many aspects of his world and family, he now sees all too clearly. Out of the one eye that still works, anyway.

    Summary

    Over a century after Khalid died, Jaheira still tears up when talking about him. What state was she in shortly after it happened? How did she get her feet back under her and go on without the man she loved so much?

    A set of 10 drabbles, starting soon post bg2 and ending after the shadow-curse takes hold of the Reithwin area, each a little peek at Jaheira learning how to go on without the one she loved more than anyone, including herself.

    Summary

    In the darkened depths    of dwarven Dust Town
    a babe was born    with a branded face
    casteless and cast out    no crib for the child
    Orzammar's ancestors    turned away their eyes.

    Summary

    Rhune needed his help; it was clear that he’d been in significant distress, and the fact that he’d fallen over unconscious with no obvious outside influence was extremely troubling.

    And if Gale acted quickly, there would be no danger of anyone being murdered tonight.

    Mind made up, Gale stuck his head out of the flap of his tent while he pulled on his shoes, and called out, “Whoever’s awake and on watch right now, please, hurry, I need some help.”

    --
    It's resist durge night! And this time everyone is involved.
