A Gem.

Or: Zuko never leaves the Fire Nation after his return in Season 2. He never joins the Gaang and Iroh teaches Aang firebending. This affects the final battle in ways no one could predict.

caught between the dark and the dreaming by Raayide
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
26 Jan 2024

Summary
Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."
And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.
Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.
Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.

Summary
Later, Wyll would recall that it had happened the moment the last slimmer of sun set over the horizon. As it was, such things were not exactly at the forefront of his mind when Astarion cut himself off mid-complaint and lunged for Shadowheart.
[Companion to 'you dream of stray animals' by Raayide, reading that first is strongly recommended but not necessary]
