    Summary

    “Rich merchant slumming in the countryside with his mistress. Clearly.”

    “Oh, I disagree. An elopement. He's spending the family money while he still has access to it, before he is disowned for following his heart.”

    “Could be a political match. Some kind of arranged marriage. Getting away to try and get to know one another.”

    “Between an Antivan maybe noble and a Dalish mage?”

    “Sure. Arlathan and Antiva have been cozy since the blight. She might be some kind of Dalish Princess.”

    “The Dalish don't have princesses - and we don't know she's actually Dalish. Seeing more vallaslin amongst the city elves these days too.”

    “Enough,” said Krem. “They're clients. That's all we need to know.”

    (Rook and Lucanis would like to end their honeymoon with some wyvern spotting. The Bull's Chargers come along for the ride. Written for Lucanis week on tumblr for the prompt Coffee, Cooking, Wyverns.)

    Summary

    When Lucanis arrived at the lighthouse, Rook’s gaze inevitably found the little details that made him unique. She noticed the buttons on his shirt first—silver skulls shaped like crow heads. Then there was the silver chain around his neck, catching the faint light of the room and flickering with his every movement.
    There was a quiet elegance to the way silver framed him, softening the harsh angles of his face, making the cold glint in his eyes seem almost tender.
    He looked… unexpectedly lovely in silver.
    It caught her off guard, this sudden realization. Lucanis was not a man given to adornment or display; he was careful, reserved, a shadow that moved silently between light and darkness. Yet beneath that careful exterior, the silver seemed to pull something from him that few had ever seen — something fragile, almost ethereal.
    A thought came to her then, like insistent whisper: he should have more. More silver, more little touches of light to catch and hold in the darkness.
    Yes. He should have more.

    ––––––

    Or: Five times Rook gifted Lucanis something made of silver, and one time Lucanis gifted silver to her.

    Summary

    In which Tav believes the latest symptom of her grief is the hallucination of her lost love.

    Or, Gale finds himself unexpectedly resurrected.

    ------

    Gods, she hates him. Hates him bitterly for leaving her behind. And Gods, how she loves him, still. Enough to have dragged herself to Waterdeep, as per his wishes. Enough to have let Tara coddle her those first few days. Enough to have sobbed into Morena Dekarios’ waiting arms. Enough to speak to him every evening from the balcony he had promised they would share. Enough to have started reading each of his books, knowing his fingers had touched every page. Enough to imagine all the ways he might’ve reacted to the news of his impending fatherhood. The latter she lingers on more than she would like, for it only gives way to other, saccharine fantasies she knows will never come to fruition.

    Summary

    Courier, scout, daredevil, housemaid … liar: Katsuko has had many identities in the seven years since a wormhole sent her back in time to feudal Japan. After she and her mentor Akihira help Shingen Takeda fight off bandits, “Katsu” finds herself working for Shingen as a messenger.

    He thinks she’s a boy.

    She thinks he’s the biggest womanizer in the province.

    But there are others forces at work – an old enemy is closing in, her new boss has a fatal secret, an assassination plot threatens the lives of Katsu’s new friends, war is on the horizon… and that’s just in this timeline. With all that going on, it’s good that he doesn’t know she’s a woman.

    Isn’t it?

    Loosely inspired by William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night… and Othello (because, Kenshin).

    Ignore the kudos count - I've been hit by "the bot."
