    Summary

    "Mm," Karlach says, grabbing a whetstone as she sits beside him. "I think we should get married."

    Astarion chokes. Chokes again. Sets his glass down and continues choking. "Excuse me?"

    "We should get married," Karlach repeats, like he simply hadn't heard her. "Pass the wine, will ya?"

    The snow will melt in Baldur's Gate.

    Summary

    Maybe it all means nothing. Shadowheart doesn’t know, and hasn’t for a long time. All she knows is that the voice of God is silent, and she yearns for its guidance in a form more comprehensible than an intermittent, stabbing pain in her hand.

    So maybe she’s tired of feeling empty. Maybe she wants something to fill her in a more definable sense. She’s sick of obscurities, of foggy memories, of always second-guessing her own interpretations.

    (“Do not mistake me,” rasps Lae’zel, amidst the celebrations back in camp. “I despise you. But I want to taste you all the same.”)

    Well. Memory eludes her, but she's sure she's settled for less in the past.

    --

    OR: shadowheart loses a purpose and gains a new one.

    Summary

    Wyll Ravengard is a grad student suffering deadlines, cold coffee, and the prodigal roommate. Out of all these things, he doesn’t expect a blond imp to be the death of him.

    He’s spectacularly wrong.
