  Summary

  Arvis Mond had never had an easy life. Between being a Grimm, having to fight Wesen around basically every corner, nearly flunking out of school because of all the near-death experiences, and having basically no life of his own because of the prior influences, he’d always had it rough. To make matters worse, he’s had to spend the last seventeen years chasing his father around the world, while he chases shadows.

  Needless to say, Arvis is getting pretty tired of running. It’s fortunate, then, that his next lead puts him in Portland. Unfortunate, perhaps, that it gets him embroiled in the bullshit plotting of the royals, but there’s a light in every dark.

  And this time, Arvis might just be able to see it.

  Summary

  Gale is the kindest, warmest, most unbearably delightful man Heir has ever met. He would walk through all the Nine Hells for him. They would literally murder Mystra again for him.

  Relatedly, he also thinks that Gale would be a great father. Maybe he should do something about that.
