The witch and the magic mirror by bluefei

Summary
"Ah! So you've found me! Well, well, well! That makes you the first person to look at me in a long time, you know?"
Isolde had nearly left it behind. She had spent years, centuries, drifting, and she had long learned that attachments only led to sorrow. But something in the way it spoke, something in the unrelenting cheerfulness of it, had held her still.
"You're not going to throw me away, are you?" The mirror had asked.
And something about that question had struck her, like a thread pulling tight in the fabric of her thoughts.
She had hesitated. Then, against all reason, she had taken it with her.
...
The immortal witch who had long given up on the world one day finds a magic mirror.

Summary
Klara gives Isolde a sunny smile, and Isolde feels the world stop for a split second.
She wishes she had her sketchbook or camera, wishes that she could pull out her phone and snap a photo - anything to capture Klara’s smile. Isolde stares, doing her best to commit the sight to memory.
Or, three encounters with a florist bring a much needed spark into Isolde's life.

“She won’t even admit that she’s gay for a New York City Ballet dancer. You think she would go for you, Rio Vidal of Cobb, Oklahoma?” Jenn raises an eyebrow, “IT service provider who plays Elden Ring in her spare time.”

Summary
Yours, she gasps out, yours, Cavaradossi, yours. They’re in the back alleys of a stage, guttering lights a flicker above them. Isolde places a hand on her collar and they roar back to life. Dress up, running lines, they’re rehearsing one scene or another but Isolde has always had a penchant for improvisation: here is Isolde, heart in her hands, proffered like a prayer. Kakania swallows her heart and it crawls right out of her throat.
(one-two step. here. here is the epiphany, cast in incandescent light.)
Isolde paints a smile on her face, love-struck, devastated, unnameable, and for a whiplash of a moment Kakania falls, falls, falls.
isolde dreams, and kakania joins her in duet.

Summary
“Cars don’t crash through fences for free,” Rio replied smoothly, shrugging. “But,” she continued, eyes glinting, “I’ll make you an offer. You cover just the cost of parts—let’s call it a grand—and I’ll throw in the labor for free.”
Agatha frowned, knowing there had to be a catch. “And what exactly do you want in return?”
Rio leaned back against the workbench, arms folded and expression deceptively casual. “Dinner with me.”OR: Agatha is making her way cross country when she wrecks her car. There's only one shop in town ran by a deeply irritating and magnetic mechanic. She offers a discount on the work in exchange for dinner. Then she really puts in the body work (heyo).

Summary
Vanity hadn’t existed to Death before, clothing and skin and hair were no concern for the ferryman of the dead. Her charges merely looked at her, their fear of no consequence for the completion of her job.
But as she looked at this beautiful witch, thick hair blowing in the wind, tear-stained cheeks pink from the chilly, autumnal air, dirt-stained frock hugging her waist, Death suddenly felt… inadequate. She looked at her skeletal hands, yellowed over the centuries; she looked at her green and black cloak, tattered around the edges; she looked at her jade crown, one of its gnarled teeth chipped.
or, the process of how the personification of death becomes a person.

Summary
“Everyone else got what they wanted from the road, Agatha,” Rio said. “They got what they were missing, so the road let them go. But you’re still here. Why?”
Agatha trembled as Rio’s fingernails stroked over her cheeks. A tongue whisked across Rio’s lips, and Agatha’s eyes followed it like it was the north star. Death was creeping up her bones, she could feel it, draining her not of life—but of anger, of fury. Giving her permission to finally let it go.
Her greatest fear had arrived, and it looked like the most beautiful woman she’d ever held.

or, Agatha gets what she wants at the end of the road.

"Not that you ever need a reason, Shadowheart," Wyll begins warmly.
Oh, no.
"But...it's been ten years. What brings you back to Baldur's Gate?"
Ten years since the thrice-damned tadpoles and she can still feel Lae'zel's smirk like a physical presence. Shadowheart sighs.
"If you must know," she says. "Someone has stolen a priceless artifact from the githyanki."

Lae'zel and Shadowheart are notorious in their party for two things - being both exceptionally good at their roles, and being, at all times, a hair-breadth from killing one another.
Or so they would have their party think.

hold me like water (or, christ, hold me like a knife) by bittersweetegg

Summary
Maybe it all means nothing. Shadowheart doesn’t know, and hasn’t for a long time. All she knows is that the voice of God is silent, and she yearns for its guidance in a form more comprehensible than an intermittent, stabbing pain in her hand.
So maybe she’s tired of feeling empty. Maybe she wants something to fill her in a more definable sense. She’s sick of obscurities, of foggy memories, of always second-guessing her own interpretations.
(“Do not mistake me,” rasps Lae’zel, amidst the celebrations back in camp. “I despise you. But I want to taste you all the same.”)
Well. Memory eludes her, but she's sure she's settled for less in the past.

OR: shadowheart loses a purpose and gains a new one.

Summary
“If you listened when I spoke instead of fantasizing about your dragon-riding days, you would know that those eggs are for your son’s favorite cake,” Shadowheart says, stirring her soup far harder than she has to. “When he asks for it first thing after walking through the door, as he always does, I’ll be sure to tell him that his amya thought it far more important to sweep the grounds for Vlaakith’s nonexistent assassins. Again.”
------------------------------
Shadowheart and Lae'zel have raised Xan, the gith egg, into a fine young man. Years post-canon, he's bringing home his first boyfriend for their approval. And that's something Lae'zel is hard-pressed to give.

If she lied to herself, she only agreed to training because of Lae’zel’s incessant need to belittle and criticize her every movement.

Summary
“Mm. So I’m supposed to offer?”
“Offer words, yes.”
She takes the plastic stirrer in her mouth, savouring the liquid drops while making burning eye contact. Lae’zel knows that she knows she’s transfixed on the movement of her tongue.
“Isn’t there anything else?” she purrs innocently, ice clinking against the glass as she takes to stirring again, “Words only take you so far.”
Lae’zel does not answer, but she purses her lips and it’s more than enough. Hook, line and sinker. She would get something out of this evening. Something she may or may not regret later, but the now is so tantalising she almost starts to salivate.//
Shadowheart, psychology major at BGU, and Lae'zel, a githyanki military academy dropout, have an arrangement.

Summary
Shadowheart purses her lips. Then, all of a sudden, the implication that Tav is making dawns upon her. “Oh, no,” she says. “Tav, please say you’re not proposing what I’m thinking.”
“Whoever did this is only attacking couples attending the festival, so…” Tav trails off.
“Don’t say it.”
“I’m going to have to ask you and Lae’zel to go undercover together.”
—
A Festival of Love turns bloody in Baldur's Gate when the party finds a dead couple, slaughtered in cold blood after festivities. When Shadowheart and Lae'zel are the only two available to find the killer, they must go undercover to bring an end to the violence before another pair is murdered. Faking a relationship feels entertaining at first, but when Shadowheart and Lae'zel begin developing genuine feelings for one another, the case becomes increasingly complicated.
