Summary
Lucien regards Essek. “You know I steal things for a living, don’t you? You know I’ve got a few dead men to my name, too?”
“I am aware of these facts, Mr. Tavelle. I considered them to be among your highest qualifications for this job.”
“And yet you came here alone?”
“...Yes?”
Lucien digests this. “Okaaay. Well, how’s the pay?”
“200 gold."
Lucien bursts out laughing. “Nope! Nope. Absolutely not. Do you think I was born last night?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Lemme get this straight.” Lucien leans forward, staring Essek down. “You’re telling me you came to a distant kingdom, arranged to meet a known criminal in a bathhouse, and thought nothing of stripping nude for a parley—but now you’re telling me that you need protection for your meeting with some spook? You’re dangerous enough on your own, my friend. If you’re in the market for a merc, it’s because you are about to walk into some fucked up, unsound, insane shit—and I’m not getting flayed alive and broken on the rack for 200 gold. For 500 gold? Sure, fine, that’ll get you some light flaying, maybe a turn or two on the rack—but not for 200.”
Essek sighs. “Do you prefer it in gold or platinum?”

Summary
Between the sea, Darktow, and his ships, Kingsley solidly felt like he had established himself apart from his brother’s friends.
Locked in a cell miles away from the rest of his crew, he comes to regret his voluntary isolation. He doesn’t find himself alone, however. Whether that’s for the better or worse may entirely depend on whether their captives decide to put them out of their misery.
--------------------
Its not exactly kept secret by the Nein that Kingsley had been other people before. It feels like there isnt too far of a jump in logic to assume this would be of interest to some wizards. -

Summary
Set 2 years after the events of The Mighty Nein: Echoes of the Solstice Reunion campaign and long after the events of Campaign 2, this "What-If Lucien survived" storyline sets up an unexpected encounter with the Mighty Nein and their old enemy, Lucien Tavelle or the Nonagon as he was once called.
But... Something is different... Lucien is different!
To the team's surprise, he has little to no memory of his past life as the Nonagon or Mollymauk though certain words and mentions of his past seem to trigger terrible nightmares for him, nightmares of the Somnovem and the Tombtakers but worst of all is his nightmares of being buried during his 1st life, surrounded by darkness and his scattered soul trapped in the void with the Eyes of Nine screeching his name in anger.
But in this new lifetime, things seem to be going well for the Blood Hunter as he lives with his friend and Savior, Lorelei, a talented cleric and blacksmith who has been by Lucien's side since his sudden reawakening.
But as time goes on and both new and old faces begin to appear, Lucien may be forced to confront the horrors of his past in order to survive and preserve his new and better future.

Summary
Outside of the tower, a young man was sold
A promise of a new life, one where he would never be cold
Outside of the tower, a young man fled
Powerless and broken, the young man had bledHigh up in the tower, a young man lay,
Wishing he could escape, to live yet another day
But High up in the tower, the doors did soon close
For the young man's tale was to be full of woes.Falling out the tower, did a young man lay
Thankful of the time he could get away.
Underneath the tower, the young man died
Wishing of a life to not be terrified.OR
The life and death, life and death, and life of a tiefling who just wanted to feel safe. And the man who ended up relearning about them in all three lifetimes

Summary
What if there had been someone else there when the Nein found Lucien in Eisselcross, someone who could see more than they should, someone who knew what it was like to always be on the outside looking in? This is a retelling of the story we all know with one little change added in, and that change's name is Namila Bagheri. Together with our favorite grumpy dirt wizard, she will try to see through the masks and the lies that Lucien uses as armor against a world he has long since learned not to trust. Will they be able to change his fate? Will they be able to reclaim the friend they went to Foren to find? Only time will tell.
An AU retelling of the final arc of Campaign 2 as I think it would go if there was someone there to counter the anger and distrust the Nein feel and show when they first meet the Tombtakers in the ruins of A5. Chapter One will be a character sheet of sorts for Namila so you can get a sense of what she's like. Do you think she'll make a difference? Come read along and find out!

Summary
Caleb's summer library job is ideal for many reasons: it's quiet, it's easy, and he receives money for spending time in a building that he'd otherwise be in anyway. However, this summer, someone's beaten him to the punch: new kid Essek Thelyss, who seems to have no idea he's stolen Caleb's spot and seems to have no interest in him at all.
But a whole summer is a long time to spend ignoring someone. And with the rest of Caleb's friends otherwise occupied, there's nothing left for either of them to do except become friends. Or maybe more.
[A glimpse into Caleb and Essek's summer together].

All of Rexxentrum has been accosted by a mysterious and unknown figure, causing thousands of people to suddenly vanish into the air. Such a massive disturbance has gained the attention of both the protectors of the realm, Vox Machina and the up-and-coming band of adventurers known as the Mighty Nein.
However, on their way down into the capital, Vox Machina ran into a certain bloodhunter and revealed a little too much about who they were and who they were meeting with.
Naturally, this causes the two groups to do more than just butt heads. Especially when they come face-to-face with their friend turned foe.

Summary
“It pains me to ponder over the lives you could have led, had fate been kinder to you. This timeline was never meant to be one where the two of you would flourish, or even one where you could exist in conjunction.
I am deeply sorry that you suffered as such, so I bestow upon you both gifts. Family. Companionship. Lives for you each, with which you can do as you please. Of course there will be a few quirks, ha. You can figure those out as you go.
But you will not be alone. No, no, no. After all, you’re two parts of a whole, and you will stay as such.
Good luck, little ones.”Basically, Lucien and Molly are reborn as Vex's and Percy's youngest kids and finally get the loving family they deserve.
