Summary
atavist: (n) a characteristic emerging after an absence from several generations
-
“What do you know of yourself?” Gale asks.
The woman is a long time answering such a simple question. “I am… female.” She looks down at her bare forearms. Under the blood and bruises, her skin steel silver, knife white, ice blue. Red and black and white. I am blood and bone.

Summary
“You were on the ship,” she declares, and for a moment there is silence. For a moment Astarion reaches for his daggers, prepares a curse on his tongue that could send fire blazing through the sky. Gale seems to be considering just the same. Astarion can hear his party’s blood rushing in their veins, taste the heady fear and adrenaline that thrums just barely underneath the surface.
The drow nods.
or: There is something deeply wrong with Tav. A monster and a hunter make a pact for the group’s safety. This changes things.

Summary
"What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way/What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you... And I don't wanna fall in love"
Tava thought that once she made it out of the Underdark, her life would turn around. She would make her way to Baldur's Gate, perhaps have a little adventure, set up a shop selling potions and spells, and then live out the rest of her long life in cushy retirement. She didn't make it that far out onto the surface, however, before mindflayers, cults, and a smarmy vampire threw her plan out the window. Who knew life on the surface would be so complicated?

Summary
When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.
Now a captive of the Absolute, he is left starving and huddled in the corner, waiting for the beast that shares his cell to finally strike.
Bears, after all, are not known to be the most gracious killers.

Summary
“Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”
She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.
“And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.
Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”
Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”
He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.
“Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”
-
Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?

Summary
“W-What do you- I mean can I- are you here to rob us?” The person managed to stammer out.
Siren snorted. “No. I’m just here to order some food.”
“Wh-What about him?” The cashier asked, glancing at Tommy. “Did you- did you kidnap him?”
“I mean… yeah, let’s go with that in case this ends up on the news,” Siren shrugged, looking back at Tommy. “I kidnapped you, right?”
“Yeah, sure,” Tommy agreed, knowing that if they said he was kidnapped, it would keep people from getting suspicious of why he was seen in public with Siren. “Anyway, can I get the chicken nuggets happy meal, with a coke?”
or, how Tommy—who is not a hero, or a villain, or even a vigilante—saves the life of one of L'Manberg's most feared supervillains, and accidentally ends up becoming the resident doctor for every supervillain in town (and maybe gets a family along the way too).
