Summary
Nyx can feel the Emperor combing through the upper layers of her mind, her thoughts shifting like sand beneath his touch.
The wizard pleases you. And vexes you.
“Many men do. And women.”
He reaches out to stroke her arm, sliding his fingers down her skin, careful not to touch her with his carnivore’s claws.
… I am neither.—
Nyx is vexed by the archmage of ambition, and finds sympathetic company in unlikely arms (and other appendages).

Summary
She wanted the power more than anything, but more than that she wanted to share it with the one who was most deserving of her gratitude, her affection. Never one to deny herself, the adventurer saw no reason why her personal ambitions could not manifest alongside the desires of her heart.
“We can rule the world. Together.”
It was a grave and terrible calculation.
———
Expanding upon one of BG3’s possible endings.

Summary
She will burn the nest of poison vipers that calls itself House Baenre to the ground and their monstrous goddess with them. She will take control, reshape their world in her image, and she will smile as her mother rots in a sunlit flowery grave.
And then, once their conquest is complete, she will return to Waterdeep with her wizard and lay in this bed with him (annoyed, because he didn’t close the curtains properly and the sun is creeping in through the crack). It will be so, it will be good.

Summary
What kind of illithid colony chose not to cull an illithid as outrageously aberrant as the Emperor? How did it relearn the secret to building nautiloids, long-lost technology from the age of illithid dominion? Who was the Absolute, before it was the Absolute?
Tav remembers. They are one of the last thralls of the original colony, from before the madness seized the brain. Soon, they will be reborn as another nameless illithid, another cog in a senseless machine, no past, no present, no future. But then the voice of the Absolute falls silent. The nautiloid crashes. And Tav remembers what was lost.

Summary
After her stroke, Duke Stelmane begins to receive a mysterious visitor in private. They are always cloaked, hooded, intimidating. As far as her attendants can tell, they have been up to nothing more nefarious than playing common games to pass the time. Why, then, the secrecy?
