Summary
Laidra is a bard with ambition despite being born a commoner in Menzoberranzan. When she comes into the employ of the fourth noble house, she is tasked with soothing a strange beast chained to the bed of Matron DeVir. She never would have expected the beast to change into an even stranger elven man, nor would she have expected him to completely change the path she'd carefully carved for herself in Drow society. Will a druid from the surface bring her to forsake her Goddess to seek the world he describes to her, one daring encounter at a time? Or will her music soothe him before divine intervention can arrive?

Summary
Through the chaos thundered a massive cave bear with blazing silver-gold eyes. An injured Harper sagged across its back, clutching the thick fur at its neck, while another clung desperately to its flank, the bear gripping them by the collar with its jaws to keep them from slipping. Ethery thought she knew the beast - something about it was achingly familiar. But she was entranced by the spectacle: red, black, green, whirling together in a ravenous vortex. Her gaze locked into its heart, spellbound. From the farthest corners of her mind surfaced a name: Last Light. She wasn’t sure what it meant, only that she had to reach it… to paint upon its walls with blood, to perfect the masterpiece already begun by Shar, Lady of Loss.

Summary
“I remembered something,” Shadowheart finally said, breaking the near silence. “While I was gone.”
Ah. That explained her contemplative mood. “I regret that I couldn’t be there with you for it, my heart.”
She clicked her tongue and shook her head, lightly rapping her knuckles against one of his biceps. “It’s not your fault, love, you know that.”
“Perhaps,” Halsin said with a wry smile, despite himself. “Was it good? Or ill? Or neither?” Though he had a feeling he already knew the answer.

Summary
"I wasn't the one who stepped on the pressure plate, was I? And I distinctly recall hearing a rather damning 'oh shit' in your voice before the walls began to close around us."
There was probably some humor to be found in the situation, Astarion thought to himself. Maybe he'd look back at it later and have a good laugh. But right now, he'd been sandwiched between unforgiving stone walls and Gale's warm body with only a few inches to spare, moments away from a claustrophobia-induced panic attack, and he couldn't find a fucking thing funny about it.
OR: Astarion accidentally trips a trap in a dungeon, leaving him and Gale trapped in an incredibly tight space. Astarion doesn't do well in tight spaces.

Summary
"Astarion,” Tav begins, and Astarion nearly has to pinch himself to keep from laughing. Lae’zel is going to be pissed. The poor githyanki has yet to win a single betting pool. Astarion, meanwhile, is moments away from pocketing a rather neat handful of gold. “You will not believe the conversation I just had with Halsin.”
Or: Tav talks to Astarion (expected). Halsin talks to Astarion (unexpected). Astarion actually feels a feeling (very unexpected).
