    Summary

    He was certain he’d gotten the body down, at least, with just enough fine tunings to quickly move him from ‘pleasant diversion' to ‘indispensible’, if he played his cards right. That much was simple, and not without its own small entertainments.

    But the mind… the mind, he was beginning to worry, might elude him.

    --

    Astarion and Rosalie think they understand each other perfectly, but they have each fallen prey to the other’s mask. As they both go forward with their adventure, will either of them dare to be honest?

    [This is a blatant, self-indulgent novelisation of BG3 full-access, and Part 2 to my Early Access fic, A Bleeding Heart. I try to avoid directly retelling too many moments in the game, but occasionally fall into the trap of rewriting some canon scenes. Dual perspective because now my Tav has some issues to overcome! Come here for the vampire man, stay here for Rosalie's mental illness :') ]

    Summary

    “I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”

    “I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”

    “The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”

    “Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

    Summary

    Bren is a weapon of the Empire, a mage in a class all his own, and the pride of his teacher. He's given his whole life to its service, questioning nothing. A slight mistakes leads him to discover exactly how much of what he's been told is a lie, and the rage in his chest is compressed to a spark, a mere flicker, giving him the time he needs to burn the Empire to the ground. He knows he can't do it alone, so he becomes Caleb, an unimpressive wanderer, taking his time finding weaknesses and holes in the Empire's foundation. These two worlds aren't easy to keep separate, and before long, he can feel pieces of himself bleeding through. He can't stop though, not until the Empire lays in ashes at his feet.

    Summary

    Inquisitor Evelyn Trevelyan, with a heart made of steel and ice, made decisions that shook the world. But she cared less for those nearest to her. She sacrificed the Chargers and left Blackwall to be hanged. She also told Commander Cullen Rutherford to resume taking lyrium, knowing that it was a death sentence.

    Ellana Lavellan, once First to Clan Lavellan, had lost everything. Bandits had killed her clan and everything she knew about her heritage was now being questioned. Aimless and lifeless, she found a beggar suffering from lyrium madness on the streets of Val Chevin. On a whim she decided to help this beggar, even if it killed her.

    But instead of death, Cullen and Ellana found a second chance.
