Summary
After a night out with friends, Ada is ripped from her comfortable yet melancholy life in Frankfurt and wakes up on a mindflayer ship. She finds herself transformed into a Tiefling, and equipped with magical abilities she neither understands nor controls. Overwhelmed, confused and tadpoled, she teams up with other survivors to find a cure and, hopefully, make her way home.
Ada finds that reluctant allies can, in fact, become friends over time, that she can learn to lean on them, and that there is more than one way to be strong.
Then, there is this wizard with a mysterious condition who is eager to hear all her tales of this other world. As she starts to fall for Gale, Ada begins to confront the hurtful lies she has internalised about herself and finds a way to let herself be loved.This is an isekai Galemance long-fic that covers one day of the journey in each chapter. For the most part, it follows the events of the game, with some changes made for either convenience or to heighten the yearning. This story covers themes such as religious trauma, fatphobia, queerphobia, bigotry and mental illness. There will be a somewhat happy ending, even if it is bittersweet. I currently publish about a chapter a month.

Summary
Then a third, and up till now completely unthinkable, thing occurred. The portal behind Gale yawned open once more. Underneath the dissonant crackling of the portal’s magic, Gale could hear the distinct sound of a voice yelling and cursing in a foreign language. And before the wizard could register what in all nine hells was happening, a young woman was spat out of the portal like a wad of Chessentan chewing tobacco. She crashed into Gale’s chest, exactly like he had crashed into her the day before. Unlike Gale though, Brix did not immediately brush herself off and greet him with a practiced smile.
Instead, she resumed her cursing. At least, that’s what Gale assumed it was. He couldn’t glean any singular word from her outburst, except one terribly rude four-letter word, which was now sprinkled liberally into every other sentence.
“You!” she finally shouted and pointed an accusatory finger at Gale. “What the fuck did you do?!”
