    Summary

    With nothing better to do than to let his thoughts chase themselves in catastrophising circles (don’t think about Eleanor and Lettie and how they’re getting on, don’t think about Quincy and if he got out before the tank got there, don’t think about Amir failing to stop the reactor exploding, don’t think about-), Arthur half-turned to keep Umbra in his periphery, tapping his index finger against the trigger guard of his rifle.

    This was their future, if Marty’s very hasty and sporting gaping holes story was anything to go by.

    or;

    It wasn't just Drifter sent back to 1999. Umbra was taken along for the ride too as back up that Drifter can rely on... too bad it didn't change anything on that disastrous New Years Eve, but it sure adds some new and interesting dynamics amongst the Hex while they wait out the timeloop.

    Summary

    The slipspace journey from Earth to the Ark is going to take three weeks. There's no way around that, so perhaps it's best to use that time to get old enemies used to fighting beside one another. (And, perhaps, to start mending fences.)

    There's a lot of room for improvement.

    (In which the Arbiter becomes better friends with one Avery Johnson, learns a lot about humans, and maybe just maybe bonds with the man he once called Demon.)

    (In this chapter: The tension shifts. Maybe.)

    Summary

    “She's mine?” Karlach finally asked. Internally she was kicking herself. She sounded like a total moron, asking the half-elf woman she’d been regularly sleeping with two years ago if the bright red tiefling baby was actually hers.

    Like, fucking obviously.

    “Oh, yes,” Tav chuckled softly, moving her hand to gently smooth the toddler’s wild hair, “she's yours.”

    (obligatory post canon kid-fic with everyone's favorite tiefling)

    Summary

    "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."
