    Summary

    Ethel is feeling clucky — she's between daughters at the moment, the last few having foolishly gotten themselves offed by daring do-gooders. What is a hag without her coven? Well, traditionally, far less stressed and aggravated, but it's the principle of the thing! Baldur's Gate is plump with fat, nosy little children who would make fine little hags, and so she sets up her nest.

    She wasn't expecting a bloody cuckoo to come walking straight in without knocking.

    Summary

    When the pact is broken, Wyll struggles with losing his warlock powers at the moment the Blade is needed most. Not only is Baldur’s Gate in danger, his beloved Karlach’s condition is ever-worsening and his newly-mended relationship with his father remains fragile. What should be the easiest task among them—to summon the great dragon Ansur—ends in failure. Yet after the wyrm is slain, something of his power lingers.

    And then a baby drake appears.

    Or: Wyll becomes a drakewarden ranger.

    Summary

    Javert found he did not find grey to be as comforting a colour as black or white. Black and white: that is how he saw things. All his life, there had not been much thought spared to the shades in between. Man was either good or evil, an upholder of the law or a defier of it. If one strayed from the Lord's path, he could not be reconciled, not in the eyes of the law. Indeed, that is what Inspector Javert had long believed.

    But the river looked grey. Jean Valjean, a convict, had saved his life. Things were not so clear now.

    ---

    When Javert falls, Valjean is there to catch him. The unlikely friendship that follows proves strong enough to save them both. But another's love is a difficult thing to accept when one has lived his whole life without it.

    Summary

    Thorin Oakenshield wakes. The air is cold, clinging to his skin in an unpleasant way. He reaches for his sword, the memory of his defeat still fresh in his mind.

    In the distance shines the familar light of Bag End, where Bilbo Baggins is desperately trying to understand why the battlefield around him faded to the comfort of his home, the calendar mocking his attempts at making sense of the situation.

    Both of them try to navigate the violent jump back in time as best as they can, but getting in each other's way of diverting fate causes more trouble than any of them could expect. It is a lonely feat, changing the past – unless, amidst all the chaos, they manage to understand each other again.
