    Summary

    “If your friends want to lure me off to kill me, tell them to try harder.” She tries to not take in any details of the room, track the changes, find some clues in the trinkets and titles piled around as to what he’s been up to, what he’s working on now that Ludinus is gone, now that he has no need for her.

    He scans the paper and a wide troublesome smile spreads across his face.

    “I think you misread something, Archmage,” he says. “This is a wedding invitation.”

    --

    Astrid Beck and the time-honored tradition of sleeping with your ex at a wedding.

    Summary

    "You're good at this," Orym murmured, watching her with curious eyes.
    "Well," she said, lips tugging into a crooked grin, "I've had a lot of practice… on horses."
    "A lot of your horses get shoved off sky ships and clocked by giant sails?"
    "You know, it's a real big problem back home."

    OR

    After a brush with death aboard the Silver Sun, Imogen checks in on Orym - only to find that he's already checking in on her. In the quiet aftermath of flight, fear, and falling sails, the two of them find an unexpected kind of balance.

    A soft, stormy coda to Campaign 3, Episode 23. Hurt/comfort, found family, emotional intimacy, and just a little bit of balm.

    Summary

    Nott whispers, “I think I’m a very good monster.”

    Caleb rolls over. His eyes are human-dull in the dark, the blue just catching the edge of moonlight filtering in through the window. He touches his forehead to hers. They breathe. Not long and slow—quick, a little frantic.

    The warmth blooms between her ribs. She names it magic, despite knowing the ember-sting of arcana these days.

    She sees Caleb’s throat work as he swallows. He whispers, “that makes two of us, Nott the Brave.”

    (Veth is a monster and a mother. Nott is only one of those things).

    Summary

    “This could kill us,” he says.
    Essek’s hold on his hand tightens. Eadwulf presses his forehead against Caleb’s right temple and closes his eyes like he is reminding himself that they’re both real. Astrid laughs, a low, wounded sound.
    “Then it kills us,” she says.

    Summary

    "I regret that I can't be here with you more," Essek began, talking firmly over Caleb's automatic protests, "and I know that as much as our arrangement is … acceptable, in the Empire, I feel as though we have held ourselves constrained by standards that are not our own." He hesitated for a moment and pulled back, so that he could meet Caleb's eyes. Caleb nodded for him to continue. "I talked to the archmage. Astrid."

     

    Essek knows that Caleb doesn't like to sleep alone.

    "Asa, just two nights ago we burnt Wulf’s paper by accident, and we stayed up all night rewriting it so that Master Ikithon wouldn’t find out. Yesterday was a normal day. And today I woke up older and found out that the master is dead and you are the Archmage of Civil Influence."

    Summary

    Dorian Storm, unmoored and free for the first time in his life, blows into a mountain village on winds leading him to the Rift between the material world and the elemental plane of air.

    Orym of the Air Ashari has spent the past six years falling into a routine of duty and family after an unexplained tragedy struck Zephrah. It is a numb but comfortable existence, as the Exandria somehow keeps spinning.

    ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*

    “You’re having fun?” Leeta asks.

    Orym rolls his eyes. Six years later and they still dote on him. He’s lucky, he reminds himself. “Yes. Good drink, good music… Questionable company aside, I’m having fun.”

    “Plus the good view.” Baernie adds, motioning her mug back towards the bard, now onto another jaunty tune, but this time in a language Orym doesn’t understand. It’s all smooth vowels and soft consonants, rushing into his ear like the very wind itself. He’s already staring by the time Baernie’s words register, and he quickly brings up his mug for another long draw, hoping the tall folk sized drinking vessel covers up any hint of heat he can feel rising to his cheeks. It is a good view. He hadn’t even realized that was something he could still notice.

    Summary

    Percival’s touch is calloused and not unpleasant, warm. He has spit in the face of fate for so long that his disdain lingers on his soul, and the acridness of it stings the Champion's nose like smoke. Percy's knuckles are a little bloody, and there’s residual gunpowder on his fingers.

    “Vax’ildan,” Percy says, the name like a prayer, like a summoning. A touch on his forehead, where a mask might rest, tracing his cheeks, catching mortal-sweat and saltwater. “You’re here with us. Don’t waste it. Breathe.”

    (The Champion of the Raven Queen goes home, just for a night. Spoilers for Campaign 3, Episode 114).

    Eadwulf takes a deep breath as if he is surfacing from underwater, as if he’s drowning. He lets it out slow and long. Is he crying? He might be crying. Or maybe it’s just the rain. He says quietly, “Lion, are you ready?”
