    Summary

    When Astarion comes to in the glaring brightness of the midday sun, he thinks he's died for the second time. Or perhaps it's an illusion. A hallucination.

    But no, it's none of that. The world has simply gone mad. The old rules are gone, new ones have been slapped on instead, and no one has bothered to explain anything to him.

    Before Astarion has time to process any of this, he's thrown into adventure with a bunch of strangers – emphasis on strange. But it's all right. He'll survive. He always does, whatever it takes.

    Summary

    In which a father’s laughter and pride are caught in cobwebs, dogeared pages, and the occasional glance into a mirror; California girls weren’t made for Khura’inese winters; and no plenitude of fishes in the sea of Los Angeles can measure up to the one who got away to Khura’in.

    Or; in which Ahlbi asks Apollo if it would be okay to put out a few travel brochures in the office.

    Summary

    "I don't want you to touch me," he began, and her eyes widened at his request. "But I want to touch you. I want you to show me exactly what feels good for you, and I don't want you to fake it. If I do anything that isn't going to bring you to your release, I want to know. And if I make you come tonight, it will be real. Any cry that falls from your lips will be genuine, and I will know if it's not."

    "You... just want to please me?"

    "Yes," he agreed. "I just want to please you.

    When Talia left the Underdark, she had many expectations of what the surface would bring. Making her living in a brothel wasn't one of them—but the coin is steady, the clients are predictable, and she keeps her emotions out of her work.

    And then a pale elf walks in, uninterested and intriguing.

    The first night? They only talk.

    The second? He asks her for something no client ever has: honesty.

    As their meetings grow more frequent, keeping her emotions out of her work becomes harder than she ever imagined.

    And when she stumbles upon a darker side of him, she's left with two questions:

    Should she let him go?

    Does she even want to?
