    Summary

    Told in tandem with the main romance of BG3, Gale and our Bard Tav fall in love amidst the plot of The Absolute. Gale was sure of his place and purpose in the world, had come to accept the smallness of it after his unforgivable mistake. That is, until he meets Tav: a Bard who sees right through him, perhaps for the first time in his life.

    Maybe the threads of The Weave conspired to string them together. Even if it didn't, they are now creating their own. Maybe that's what makes them better than the Gods. The Gods have no need for the knowledge of another.

    Summary

    Haunted by the mistakes of her past, Evana Lavellan feels (reluctantly) compelled to stay and help the newly dubbed "Inquisition" close the Breach. But no longer than that. After all, they only care for her welfare because of the mark on her hand.

    Unfortunately, every mission seems to take her further away from her goal instead of closer to it. But each refugee saved and disaster averted also brings with it a sliver of tranquility, a fleeting taste of atonement for past wrongs. Surrounded by new people - new friends - she discovers a wider world than she'd ever imagined with her clan, a world in which she has the power to improve the lives of both elves AND mages.

    Strangest of all, she finds herself drawn to an unlikely friend and confidant in Inquisition's ex-templar military advisor who, like her, is all too familiar with the bitter taste of regret... and the fragile touch of hope.

    **Game scenes/dialogue included but also tons of original "in-between" moments, dialogue, character development and introspection. Super mild AU for shuffling conversation locations and tweaking the order of events. Quizzy is my own.

    Summary

    For most people, a problem is a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful that needs to be dealt with or overcome.

    For Andrew Minyard, it’s the word that fits Neil Josten with a capital P.
