Summary
The continued post-game adventures of Shadowzel!
Lae'zel and Shadowheart have fought monsters, gods, and each other... but nothing could prepare them for falling in love. Finally settling down to marry and raise the mysterious egg they picked up in their journeys, their hard-won peace is shattered when the Sharrans emerge on the scene again, convinced Shadowheart holds the key to a prophesy that could destroy Shar herself. Now the two women (with the help of the rest of the tadpole crew) must fight to protect their family, their home, and the life they've built before the shadows close in.
Notes:
1. Shadowheart's parents are alive and she still copes with the incurable wound because of it.
2. Just in case it makes a difference, I am a Lae'zel's taller than Shadowheart truther.
3. Very much still working on this fic in 2025! It's just taking longer to update than it used to due to IRL things. -

Summary
Shadowheart was just about to kick Lae'zel out of her tent when another thought crossed her mind. Maybe this one time the gith had a point. Perhaps some pleasure before their untimely ends wasn’t such a bad idea— even if it meant lying with the most frustrating woman she’d ever met. After all, what did she have to lose? They could all be mind flayers by tomorrow.

Summary
Why did she feel sympathy with this brute and her cruel god? Then it hit her; in Lae’zel she saw a reflection of her own faith, someone so devoted to a god they believe the pain it inflicts is holy, and from the outside it was grotesque. The thought caused a spike of pain to shoot through her hand, a sign of her lady's disapproval, the pain subsided with a whispered prayer begging for forgiveness. How could she compare her lady's divine and holy pain to some lesser deity's torture? Who cares if Lae’zel believes her pain is holy? It wasn’t her concern. So then why did her stomach drop when she saw the gith wince? Why Despite all Shar’s teachings did she want to give Lae’zel The relief she herself couldn't have?

Summary
Shadowheart, Princess of the Kingdom of Shar, was cursed never to experience the world beyond the castle walls. It was forbidden by her mother, Queen Viconia, and enforced by her personal guard [dog], Ser Lae'zel K'liir. But that didn't stop her from trying: one day, Shadowheart knew, she would make it beyond. She would see the world.
Even if there were some curses—and some people—she could never escape.
This story is on a likely permanent hiatus.
