Summary
Of course, the party happens the night he isn’t here. It doesn’t surprise him. Once, he would’ve thought he was sent away these nights to protect his already weak hearing; An act of kindness. Now, he knows better than to assume the flea-ridden rats of the gang are capable of such a thing.
or, Argus Eamon, Rickiter's first apprentice.

leave adoration for the modest (so love me, honey, like ambrosia wine) by AmbientArrows (Firelilywrites)

Summary
“It’s an easy game,” She says, lowly, lidded eyes on his face. “I’m not sure it’s even possible to be this consistently awful at it,” Her tone is lifted slightly by gentle laughter, fond and warm and gods, it’s so warm in here—
He hiccups again, eyes pointedly ignoring hers, looking down at the pieces in front of them, then to the wine glass she’s swirling lazily in a raised hand, then back down to her other hand, next to his thigh, supporting her weight as she leans into him—
How much wine has he had?
“That’s your third glass, my dear.”
Oh. I said that aloud.
(or: elven wine, late nights, and a pining bard.)

Summary
"“Vee,” He interrupts quietly, hand reaching out tentatively for hers. She takes it, carefully, mindful of the sensitive skin and unseen injuries. “Really, it’s okay. One little dragging-me-back-home won’t—”
“What?”
Marlo pauses, realizing what he said. “It’s fi—”
“Home?”
“The Blackwarren,” he says, carefully, gauging her reaction."or, marlo and vesali say goodbye

red clay (we don't have to do this the hard way) by AmbientArrows (Firelilywrites)
Fandoms: Dungeons & Dragons (Roleplaying Game), Original Work
13 Oct 2024

Summary
"It’s easier, this part, talking of his companions that he knows his darling would love to meet. Just as he’s finished recapping the Prodotis situation, however, Donnie manages to burn his fingertip, and Akeeva attends to that, and Marlo steps in to finish dinner—which is little more than reheating and adding some fresher herbs and vegetables, really—talking idly with Shiraan as he does. Debbie shows them her drawing, after dinner, a crude family picture of the six of them."
or, that week spent between Tolly's and Burgund

my head is a nasty place (i'm afraid to get comfortable) by AmbientArrows (Firelilywrites)

Summary
"He’s a little hypocritical, sometimes. That’s okay. He starts swaying, not in the same dancey mood he had been before, but there was an undercurrent of energy he needed to dissipate before he could consider turning in for the night.
He startles slightly when Akeeva’s warm, warm hand gentle sets down on his forearm. He turns to look at her, and her gaze is warm as her skin. “Time for bed?” she murmurs, not forceful in the slightest. She doesn’t have her armor, just her normal clothes after her nap earlier in the afternoon."
Or, 'Uhhh, the disturbing dreams marlo had last session'

I Know Those Eyes / This Man Is Dead by AmbientArrows (Firelilywrites)

Summary
"Akeeva and Aenon, panting, step back watching the man ascend off the ground with the raw divine power that had been pumped into his body. Marlo ignores to curl of sickness at the blatant disregard for life’s processes, witnessing the flowing robes and glowing skin slowly descend back down to the ground, landing softly and eyes blinking open slowly.
A crossbow bolt hits him in the back of the head."
(or, Bone-Jesus and Midday Eyes)
