    Summary

    Zagreus has been called a murderer before, though he only chalked it up to Tisiphone’s limited vocabulary. But after a slew of harrowing events, he’s not so sure about his innocence anymore…

    ~~~

    This is a comic based on one of my favorite parts in Chapter 10 of Blood Wine, a very well written Hades fanfic by ChesMaster. Obviously, this contains major spoilers for Blood Wine, so please consider giving ChesMaster’s work a read first!

    Summary

    Assassinating an archdevil is a daunting task, even for the heroes of Baldur's Gate. Some inside help from 'the devil they know' would be good, if not for the detail their last meeting ended with said devil dead in his own home.
    Or did it?

    [Within the ball you see Raphael, broken and bloody, dangling above the maw of the archdevil Mephistopheles who is preparing to devour him.]

    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

    Professor Gale Dekarios has everything he ever dreamed of. The perfect job, the perfect house, and the perfect fiancée - until he catches her with another man at their engagement party.

    Astarion Szarr is trapped in an abusive, loveless marriage. He has no freedom, no agency, and can hardly imagine a life without terror - until a chance encounter allows him to wish for more.

    Thrown together by unfortunate circumstances, they form an unlikely friendship, navigating the turbulent seas of worry, trauma, and threats of consequence. And finally - as if in reverse - learn how to love.

    Summary

    “A dry affair, don’t you think?”

    For any living soul to catch Cazador off-guard means only the fleetest and lightest of treads on such warping, aged floorboards of the historic manor house. He cuts a sideways glance at the slender figure at the other end of the viewing gallery. A well-dressed, foppish boy who walks with an abundance of confidence towards him, hands folded behind his back, and a silvery-white plume of curls swept away from his devastatingly handsome face.

    Occasionally, Cazador believes in fate.

    This one is meant for him.
