Summary
“The idea of you in the grasp of Ghilan'nain and Elgar'nan, suffering because of me, I couldn’t bear it. My worst nightmares brought to life could not compare to the dread I felt in that moment. Their foul voices, that whispered promise, the thought that they would take everything about you that I love and adore and twist it, blight it, puppet you on the edge of what you fear most. I couldn’t lose you, Emmrich, not like that, not ever. You hated me, but you were safe. I’d pay that cost a thousand times over,” Rook sniffed, holding back tears.
---
In the wake of the sixth Blight, Rook finds herself adrift, clinging as best she can to her old life as a florist of the Grand Necropolis to maintain some normality. The choices she made still haunt her, the companions and the lover she hurt and lost along the way, leaving an aching void in her heart.
But what Rook believes to be lost is only shrouded in misunderstanding.
With the help of her friends, she'll find her feet again.
With a drunken confession of love through floriography, the language of flowers, her heart will be mended.

Summary
“Everyone looks to me as a leader. I’ve had to make terrible choices. They say Minrathous fell because of me, but I must be strong. I cannot show weakness. Everything is on my shoulders,” she spat with anger and sorrow. “No one asked how I was or how I was dealing with everything until you joined us. Not only did you ask, but you cared. Maker, Emmrich, how was I supposed to let that go like nothing?”
---
Emmrich believes Rook is better off without him as her lover, but time apart will teach the professor a valuable lesson.

Summary
“In short, my love, I believe your prickly persona of late may be your attempt to tempt me to perhaps be of a rougher disposition with you in the bedroom,” Gale finalised with a wag of his finger.
“I’m in heat?” Bal spluttered, coughing around her sharply indrawn breath.
“I thought I explained that part rather clearly,” Gale murmured soothingly, stroking her back gently through her coughing fit.
“I can’t be in heat! We don’t want children!” Bal growled in annoyance once her breathing had returned to normal.
“Coming into your cycle of heat doesn’t mean we need to make changes to our lifestyle, my love, but perhaps adjustments to the way we respond to one another in the bedroom to soothe your primal urges may be in order,” Gale assured her, lovingly as always.
---
Bal and Gale have no desire to sire children, but coming into heat does crazy things to one's brain.

Summary
They had not gotten along, at least at first.
Bal had acquaintances along the Sword Coast but none were wizards. A few fellow sorcerers but most definitely no wizards. By the nine hells did she find them arrogant and, consequently, difficult to get along with.
In her opinion, Gale embodied all the worst traits of wizardkind. The man was pompous, hubristic, and by the gods he never shut up.
-----
Bal hid away from the world for three years in Baldur's Gate to deal with her grief, unfortunately, that didn't save her from being snatched up by the nautiloid. Begrudgingly saddled with the title of leader, she tentatively begins to make friends again, opening her heart to her fellow tadpals, and carving out a special place for Mystra's former Chosen.
But the weight of the Sword Coast's fate rests heavily on her shoulders, and love is not always easy. When further loss and expectations take their toll, she flees from the one she cherishes most, unable to handle that he will pass long before she does.
Time and soul-searching will heal Bal's wounds, but only if she can face her fears and doubts.

Summary
"Their corpse proved quite stubborn."
He presented her an opportunity, and she grasped at it in desperation.
"I'm surprised, you're so very good at taming stubborn."
Her playful attempt at schmoozing won a stiff snort, and nothing more.
"Oh..." Breathed with a coy lilt, she feigned innocence that could have been believable, if she were anyone else. "Are you still cross with me?"
Stealing another gulp, he sneered against it's bite. The strength of which smoked his voice to a heady resonant.
"Back during your apprenticeship, when you disobeyed one of your superiors, or spoke back at them out of turn; in what manner did they see fit to punish you?"
A preemptive attack from which she was slow to recover.
"I... got a good tongue lashing." Her words were tight from a throat that fought against their release. "A common occurrence, I might add."
"Just as I suspected." After a breath, he then angled a brow down into his drink. "The correction of your behavior falls into my lap after all."- Language:

Summary
During their argument, a Grey Warden Rook drops the truth about the Calling to Emmrich, only for things to get disastrously out of hand.
It leaves Emmrich with a choice: stay in his room, and go into the most dangerous battle they've yet faced with this hanging unresolved between them, or follow her, and finally stop running from his fears?
- - - - -
He is struggling, she can see it, torn in two between the fears in his mind and the ache in his heart. His throat bobs as he swallows, but the silence stretches on, pulled thin and taut by his need to remain composed and her desperation for him to say something.
But Emmrich knows that if he speaks he will shatter.
And Rook pulls her wrist out of his grasp.

Summary
His agenda has always been clear: to be a different kind of god—a god among people, a god who responds to the ephemeral beings of Faerûn and their needs. And with the help of his friends and trusted advisors, he’s accomplishing exactly that. He has everything, can do anything, and nothing is missing except that which he will soon take.
Or: sometimes, the God of Ambition walks around Baldur’s Gate in a semblance of his human form. On one such walk, he begins to learn that he is very, very wrong about something very, very important.
