Summary
For most Masked Fools, the power of the Laughter is a constant. It fizzes in their veins at all times, stretching across the universe to provide Elation, hijinks, and a safety net for if things go pear-shaped. Once you become a Fool, you never have to go without it.
...apart from if you, like one Sampo Koski, decide to go to a planet so caught up in Qlipoth and Nanook's squabbles that even the Laughter can barely penetrate its shields.
He's starting to regret this decision.

my canon-adjacent series of moments where sampo learns how to live as a person without an aeonic safety net, and the people that make that possible -

Summary
Anaxagoras chooses to keep his curse private.
There is speculation, of course. No Chrysos Heir as public-facing as him would ever be free of that. But no rumours are ever confirmed or denied, and he prefers to keep it that way.
Hyacine knows. She was always going to know. And the night she found out is burnt into his mind. -

It was a quiet night in the Indian shrublands, and not a soul was awake apart from Abigail Fix.
Well. That was what she thought.

Summary
Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.
*
Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”
“None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”

Summary
Astarion fast-talks an abnormal number of enemies into killing themselves in the shadow-cursed lands and the team makes idle (then less idle) conversation about it. It’s completely fine and doesn’t bother him at all and it absolutely doesn’t draw additional questions about why he does what he does for the team... and what they in turn would do for him.
IE: Origin-run Astarion fic because its interesting to me how the party reacts to their vampire buddy if he doesn’t have Tav to be a social buffer for him. Act 2 content and spoilers.

Summary
(Previously titled 'Of Swords and Gold, Pearls and Freedom')
Five hundred years ago, before the cataclysm, Khaenri'ah was a nation free from the eyes and rule of the gods. But left unchecked, human arrogance only festered and grew.
This story is told from the accounts of three people who played the largest part in its downfall, Ambition, Loyalty, and Freedom.
A lie rests in the depths of their people, one so large that whole civilizations have been destroyed to keep it. As an attempt is made to turn things around, the heavens begin to take notice.Dainsleif knew that getting tangled with someone like Rhinedottir was dangerous, but once the wheels start turning, he can't stop it. And he's not sure if he wants to.
"No gods, no sinners."
With these words, Ambition will scar the lands of Teyvat for centuries to come.

Summary
He doesn’t realize he’s lost Connor until an android wearing the black and gold Stratford uniform runs past him. Everything happens almost too quickly for Hank’s eyes to keep up: The deviant with a gun, raising it and aiming right at Hank; and then Connor with a gun, shooting the deviant without mercy.
Hank’s heart beats so fast it nearly escapes his chest. “Holy shit,” he says, turning to look wide-eyed at Connor, whose appearance damn near gives him a heart attack.
There’s a dark, deep blue gash on the back of Connor’s hand, which he’s holding to his lower stomach. Blue drips from his hand and red stains his shirt beneath it. He looks unconcerned except for the stone-cold glare he has for the now-destroyed deviant. He presses the gun back into the hands of the shocked federal officer beside him.
“Hey, uh. Connor?” Hank says, managing to keep his voice from shaking.
“He was going to shoot. I intervened,” Connor explains.
“Where’d the red come from?” Chris asks.
--
Connor bleeds red. His past comes back to him, piece by piece, as he struggles to come to terms with his humanity.
