Summary
"Come with me," she says abruptly.
Karlach blinks, her confusion briefly clearing the tears away. "Lae... I can't," she says haltingly. "We just--"
"No, I-- No," Lae'zel says. Her bearing is suddenly stiff, with her gaze flicked over Karlach's left shoulder in the military air that she retreats into when speaking of something difficult. "Not forever. I know we cannot have forever. But Wyll must search the city. It will be hours. You know this. Come with me. Let me--" And now her voice really does crack, just the once, before her iron control reasserts itself. "Let me show you my home, Karlach."
----
A final sight of beauty together before Karlach and Lae'zel separate. -

Summary
"They have not looked for softness from each other before. Even though they have left the Shadowlands behind at last, both of them are still lost in the dark, set adrift from their goddesses and left with only each other. They have sought solace in rough touches, frantic heat, and it has helped keep the pain of their losses at bay.
And yet… gentleness, Lae'zel said.
What does it mean? Where does it begin?"
Some early-relationship Shadowzel figuring each other out, for the Love in Faerun fic exchange.
