    Summary

    There wasn't time for the companions to deal with Cazador. Astarion had made his peace with that when he had taken down Gortash and Orin in a righteous fury. He knew that what had happened was the right thing to have happened. He had lived in freedom for a while; that was more than he was expecting, to be honest.

    What he wasn't expecting, however, was how he now reacted to Cazador.

    Astarion navigates his return to being a spawn, and his friends adjust to him being gone. The charismatic leader, the glue that held the group together, gone. They'll never see him again and they grieve.

    Then Withers drags them back to Baldur's Gate.

    Summary

    This work will alternate POV between Astarion, Gale, and Halsin, and focus on character exploration, and expanding on a lot of sub-plots from the game regarding the three of them. The canon events will still occur, but a little out of order, and sometimes for different reasons.

    The main plot will revolve around Astarion’s gradual discovery of the Black Mass Ritual, and all the Infernal implications of its completion. His past trauma will feature heavily in this fic, and all that entails. The basic idea is that the Black Mass has been centuries in the making, and there are those in the Hells who would rather not see it succeed… at least not as Cazador intends.

    Summary

    Death took no more than a breath.

    In one to the next, eyes slipping closed, Emmrich’s hand going limp in Lucanis’ grip. One moment, Emmrich was there, gazing up at him from their bed, the corners of his mouth quirked in a fragile, brave smile. The final words, “I’m not afraid, my dear Lucanis. I’m not alone,” spoken with such certainty, lingering in the air. Spite was silent.

    Then — he was gone.

    Or, Emmrich passes but is not alone. Lucanis and Spite keep him company until the end.

    Summary

    After being cursed by a Nevarran palace necromancer after an assassination attempt gone wrong, Lucanis and Spite must recover in the Grand Necropolis from wounds both physical and mental, old and new, as they work with Emmrich to untangle the curse and its ties to the mysteriously long-lived King Markus. As they unravel a royal conspiracy, Emmrich and Lucanis' trust and friendship gradually become something more: something worth living for.

    An exploration of a post-game Hardened to Softened route for Lucanis.

    Summary

    Of all of the places Dorian Pavus could have fled to from Tevinter, he had assumed Nevarra City would be the easiest. How hard could it be to get a job at the university, given his credentials?

    But when things don't go according to plan, he gets a job at Cafe Clavicle, a job he is wholly unqualified for, working alongside an actual skeleton.

    Luckily, things aren't all bad when he meets a handsome Senior Professor of Necromancy, but how can he tell his new acquaintance that he holds the job that Dorian wishes he had?

    Summary

    Lucanis always walked with purpose, yet this purpose seemed to take him less in a straight line and more on a meandering journey, lips pulling up into the shadow of a smile at the Necropolis. “Emmrich,” he said, and the word alone sounded relieved. Like the last weight had lifted from him.

    “Lucanis,” Emmrich answered, straightening his lapel absently. “Welcome. And Spite. Lovely to see you both. The Crossroads were calm?”

    “Quiet,” Lucanis said. Too quiet, Spite agreed, in a tone that bordered on grumbling. “Quiet is good.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Aww what a sweet little chapter - Bull in full mother hen mode and making himself useful, making Sure Neve knows it.

    He’s so lucky it looks like everthing around Henzenkoss is over. I thought perhaps some corpse whispering on Emmrich’s behalf may have stirred up drama but all is well.

    Summary

    He has not drawn breath in more than half a century. He does not remember how. And yet, still, he feels a pang where once a beating heart thrummed beneath his deathless bones.

     

    It is not the first time he feels this pain, but it is the last.

     

    ---

    Immortality is a heavy burden to bear alone.

    When the last of the Veilguard passes on, Emmrich stands alone and questions if the price of lichdom was worth it.

    Summary

    Lucanis disliked the West. It was wild, hot, and dry. There were no good cafés, but mostly, it was crawling with Venatori.

    Until the contract for Calivan, he’d seen them as little more than targets — easy bounties.

    A year locked away in the Ossuary changed that. Now, he hated the West and every last member of that blood cult.

    Escaping had nearly cost him his life. He needed medical attention, and worse, he had his own guardian demon named Spite. That was how they stumbled upon the mortician in a small town called Nevarra.

    Emmrich was everything the Crows had trained Lucanis not to be — empathetic, merciful, and above all, kind. Lucanis owed him a debt for the healing, and over time, he learned how life in this strange town worked.

    There was still revenge to take. Still contracts left unfulfilled.

    But there was also Emmrich.

    Maybe he didn’t hate the West as much as he thought.
