Summary
After Bahamut falls to Odin, Dion is taken captive—and made to suffer for it. Broken in body and spirit, he survives only by clinging to the unexpected kindness of Kihel, a twelve-year-old refugee turned apothecary-in-training who offers him unwavering compassion and quiet companionship, asking nothing in return. Their bond becomes his light in the darkness.
A story of resilience in the face of suffering, found family, and recovery.
Primary focus: Dion & Kihel (father-daughter). The only true romantic ship is Terence/Dion! But features unromantic instances of Dion with others.
Note: This AU departs from canon—roll with it. It takes place in the canon world but political details, character relations, and other events diverge. No Ultima.
CONTENT WARNING!!: Please mind the tags!! Chapters will have individual content warnings. Sexual assault against Dion occurs more than once in the story but will not be depicted erotically or in great detail. The story deals heavily with the aftermath/recovery.

Summary
Loneliness is the thread which weaves together the lives of thirteen-year-old Dion Lesage, crown prince of the empire of Sanbreque, and fourteen-year-old Terence Marchand, the youngest child of a knight in the emperor's service. Fearful for their sons' well-beings in the face of duty and grief, their fathers bring them together in a bid for companionship. What follows is a story spanning nearly two decades, in which love, loss, and the fate of a kingdom weigh heavy between them.
While Dion struggles with the death of his mother and what it means to lead a nation, Terence learns that solitude isn't the safe haven he made of it as a boy. Their reliance on each other grows and so too do the burdens of war. When eventually the emperor's schemes take a turn for the tyrannical, Dion and Terence are left to salvage the soul of Sanbreque from the ashes he leaves in his wake.
Childhood Friends to Lovers.

Summary
The underground chasm was as dark and dank as Durge had remembered it. His footsteps echoed in the shadow of the path that once laid open. It was no surprise, after all the nether brains damage to the city had been nearly cataclysmic. It’d be foolish to think the underground would have fared any better...A desire, a whim, a calculated risk, whatever it may have been, it led him down the path to where the Nether Brain once lay dormant, with two hundred gold pieces rattling in his pocket.

Summary
As an admirer and patron also of arts less controversial than yours, it has come to my attention that Gond's Hall of Wonders in the Upper City has just acquired and installed an exhibit you will be very interested in: namely, a set of Bhaalist torture racks of ancestral renown.
OR: The Dark Urge and Gortash pull off their first heist at the Hall of Wonders.
