Summary
He wanted to hold her and whisper encouragements into her hair, to lend her whatever was left of his own strength. She deserved respite after everything she’d just accomplished, she had the right to be tired, and she had the right to rest. He would tell her all that if he could be sure she’d want him to.
“Shepard,” he said her name.
She looked at him. “Yeah?”
He would tell her all that, he’d give it all to her, support, peace, solace, he would find a way — except it wasn’t his place. He didn’t know where they stood, and he wouldn’t dare bothering her with it now. There were so many more important things happening all around them.Five years of her in his life, filled with love, hurt, angst, and just a pinch of spice.

Summary
“So it is decided,” he heard Eamon’s voice. “Alistair will take his father’s throne.”
Alistair’s heart was thumping in his chest, his breath uneven, vision blurry — he was still reeling from his bloodlust, from the ultimate act of justice he had just delivered. He did his duty to Duncan. Now he had one more thing to do for his country.
“I accept this decision,” he replied firmly. “I will be king, if the Landsmeet will have me.”Alistair took the throne, but he was unwilling to accept that meant he and Amell had to break up. He always knew she’d return to him.
He’s surprised when she doesn’t.Series

Summary
They set off and marched in silence. It seemed there was an unspoken agreement between them, that now that they were out of the library and in the open, they could no longer be so informal with each other. He glanced at her a couple of times, and she walked with her head low, gripping the strap of her pack. He realized that the attitude she’d given him earlier was a defense mechanism, one that was supposed to deter unwanted attention.
He strayed, and he wandered, and he lost his way. His faith should guide him… Shouldn't it?

Summary
She looked at him over the book she herself was holding. “It seems that you are very… taken with Lenore’s library,” she smirked.
“What?” Gale asked, his eyebrows lifting. “What do you mean?”
“Are you crushing on Lenore, Gale?” Karlach gave him a big teasing grin.
“What?! Goodness, no,” Gale protested. “Can’t a wizard enjoy another wizard’s library without this kind of… insinuations?”The visit to the arcane tower in the Underdark makes Gale reflect on himself.

Summary
He hoped she would get up as well and they could finally retreat to their room. He needed to spirit her away from this table, from this man, he needed to let his thoughts settle and his heart calm. Most of all, he needed to embrace her and kiss her lips, and remind her that she was his and his alone, he needed to claim her, regardless of how drunk he was, or how drunk she was. He needed to have her.
“Alright, I will stay a little longer, I’ll see you upstairs later,” she said, smiling. “Don’t wait up.”They just found each other again, but someone from her past suddenly shows up, and Gale struggles to keep it together.

Summary
* Mystra. Goddess of the Weave, mother of all magic. She is said to be a jealous goddess. *
“Hopefully it should only be a moment. And, also hopefully, the next time you will see me I will be free of this burden.” As he said it, his hand instinctively went to the pack at his side, making sure it’s there, with The Crown of Karsus concealed within.
He stepped into the stream of the Weave emanating from the statue.
“So, Gale of Waterdeep, you have become the inheritor of Karsus' powers at last. Tell me, what do you intend to do with them?” -

Summary
"Your camp is compromised. One among you is an impostor. A faceless. Who, I can't say. I'd suggest a thorough investigation. You'll find I speak the truth. The faceless in your camp is like a knife at your throat. Remove it, quickly, or any alliance between us would be exceedingly short-lived."
Her eyes narrowed, but if this information stirred her at all, she did not show it.
