    Summary

    What if… VR-LA did become Legendary in the final confrontation with the Progenitor? With this power at his fingertips, he's able to prevent Kyana's death, causing Vhas to not use Redemption's Resurrection ability. Because of this, during the final battle against DX-TR, VR-LA is the one to get the final blow… and trigger the devil's contract he'd been dreading for so long. And when Mystra deems DX-TR and his skills and knowledge a valuable asset, the Magister has no choice but to follow her wishes, a decision that will change the shape of his future irreparably.

    Summary

    “Hey! No, no, no, stay with me, Dani, look at me.” Kyana cupped Dani’s cheeks to keep her face tilted towards her.
    The captain coughed weakly, blood coloring her ashen lips. “It’s… f-fine, Kyana. I’ll s-see you in the… morning.”
    Tears welled in the monk’s eyes and she had to swallow back a whimper. She knew it was true. If Dani went out now she’d come back the next day.
    That didn’t make holding her dying body any easier, wouldn’t make seeing the life leave her eyes any less crushing.

    Summary

    Also known as "Warlock VR-LA AU."

    After his adventure in the Maze of Life, VR-LA was given the memories of an alternate timeline. With so much to do in the face of a world-ending threat, he didn't have much time to dwell on it. But afterward, with his new Magister duties and adventures with the crew ahead, he has more time to consider that alternate history and his strange connection to this other version of himself. And through that bond, he begins to recognize something odd in the memories that he witnesses. In an odd twist of magic and fate, VR-LA finds himself the warlock patron of… himself.

    Summary

    Summary

    It was almost three years since Emerson had disappeared. Three years of Veerla hunting for any clue to where he went, of how he had vanished. He had chased down every lead he had, pulled on every little thread he could. Some had led to dead ends, some had led him down yet another rabbit hole with more clues to pick at.

    The newest addition had been added three days ago, words written with a shaky hand on a torn piece of paper.

     

    Found dead from three bullet wounds to the chest and one to the head.

    Summary

    “It seems odd that the hag wouldn’t have realized that though,” Maxim continued thoughtfully. “If she meant to curse all of us, she should have known better than to choose something that wouldn’t affect me.”

    “Maybe she just didn’t think you were enough of a threat to warrant cursing,” Flint said.

    “Could there be any other component of the curse that wouldn’t apply to you?” Emeraude asked. “Something the hag wouldn’t have known?”

    Maxim jolted suddenly beside him. “Names,” he whispered.

    “What?” Hali said.

    “Of course. When we first met the hag she was disguised. And we told her our names, your names. Naturally, a curse that targets each individual uniquely would require their true name as a component.”

    Flint groaned. “So what you’re telling me is that your whole pseudonym true name thing actually came in handy for once?”

    “It would seem so, yes.”

    ***

    Alexander and the rest of his party get to experience firsthand the usefulness of Maxim's best-kept secret.

    Summary

    A series of the many times in this au that these two kiss on the mouth without actually acknowledging their feelings :)

    Mixture of fluff and some heavy angst. Happy ending though.

    I want these out of my brain and into the world as quickly as possible so none of them will be beta read and the editing might be very iffy.

    Summary

    As VR-LA and Maxim settle into their stabilised friendship, they endeavour to work together more, starting spell research together. Rather than force the wizard to travel back and forth, Maxim invites him to stay.
    But the proximity erodes at the facade beneath which he hides his pain. Even as it does, as his feelings are exposed to the light, those old wounds start to mend. Maybe, if they play their cards right, something else can bloom in its place.

    Summary

    VR-LA didn't know what the strange markings on his metal skin meant, but he knew they were important. He thought he remembered a hint of why, but as soon as he chased the thought, it was gone. Why could he remember they were significant, but not why? Why did he know the name of the ship, but not who was on it or why he was there? And why couldn't he remember anything else?

    All he could remember was the sea and the soulmarks.

    Credit to StarsInAJamJar's fic "I Keep My (crew)Mates In My Soul" for inspiring a lot of the way I do soulmarks! Go check it out, they're really cool

    Summary

    "—and I'm not gonna just leave you and the ship behind while I fuck off to Brass for The Holiday."
    The Holiday in question being some week-long City of Brass festival that Dani keeps referring to with Implied Capitals, but the significance of which is fully lost on Veerla; mostly because Dani absolutely refuses to elaborate, and even when she does her explanations provide approximately zero information or context for Veerla to work with whatsoever.

    "Right," Veerla agrees.

    Veerla gets to meet Dani's family and it's fine until it isn't.

It seems fate has bound his associate to some great destiny and, sooner or later, he must figure out how much of a part he is willing to play in VR-LA’s tale.
