Summary
With the former Gem Empire shattered and the galaxy in a state of newfound autonomy, Steven finds himself grappling with the consequences such freedom entails. Old grudges resurface and new factions rise, each seeking control over the shards of the empire. Only a few months into his life away from Beach City, Steven is made to confront his mother's complicated legacy as a Diamond and navigate the high expectations of the galaxy. Desperate to find a solution to unite his fractured world, will he rise to assume his mother's empty throne and prevent the galaxy from descending into chaos once again, or will his happily ever after remain forever out of reach? Just how much of himself is he willing to sacrifice for his friends, family, and all the gems that look up to him?

Summary
"Pardon me," the man standing in the doorway says, in a common tongue, "but this seems an unlikely spot for a nap, my friend. Are you well? Are you in any need of assistance?"
Gwyndolin stares at him, speechless for a moment, for the man bears the symbol of his brother, splashed bold and bright on his tabard.

Summary
A short story detailing Miquella's one sided pursuit of Radahn. Nothing explicit.
Disclaimer: The story is a mix of poem verse and regular prose. Fun fact that I just learned after writing this, the technical word for the alternating combination of verse and prose is Prosimetrum

Summary
“There’s no door.” Alphinaud looks positively scandalized, his cheeks red (and not entirely because of the steam).
Wol hauls his heavy tunic up and over his head, discards it, and shrugs. “We’ll be in and out. Done in no time.”
“Someone could see…” Alphinaud whines. “Everything.”
“Nothing that I haven’t seen already,” Wol grins.
The Warrior of Light is determined to do whatever's necessary to gain entry into Eulmore. Alphinaud, on the other hand, appears to have some reservations.Very minor spoilers for early Shadowbringers MSQ.

Summary
What kind of illithid colony chose not to cull an illithid as outrageously aberrant as the Emperor? How did it relearn the secret to building nautiloids, long-lost technology from the age of illithid dominion? Who was the Absolute, before it was the Absolute?
Tav remembers. They are one of the last thralls of the original colony, from before the madness seized the brain. Soon, they will be reborn as another nameless illithid, another cog in a senseless machine, no past, no present, no future. But then the voice of the Absolute falls silent. The nautiloid crashes. And Tav remembers what was lost.

Summary
Once, and only once, he allowed himself a whimper. The sound echoed and echoed, childish and small, and he choked off the next sound before he fell apart.
Instead he prayed.
