Summary
Hancock's so busy chasing Nora he almost misses the new drifter moving into Goodneighbor from out west. But then the work she does is hard to miss.
Aurora's so busy fleeing from horrors in the west she almost misses The Mayor who runs and guns for the people. But the coat and swagger are hard to miss.
Goodneighbor isn't the Boneyard and Aurora's skill set marks her as a spy or worse. Which is a problem and a real pity since Hancock likes hearing her tell him about the world outside the 'wealth enough not to want her dead.

Summary
The newest member of The Companions is exactly what a Shield-Brother should be. That Farkas falls in love with him is perfect, wonderful. That Vilkas starts feeling something for the timid maid is less so.
But Kodlak is alive thanks to her bravery so maybe she isn't as timid as he thinks.

Summary
Nora switches pods at the last minute, not that anyone was informed. Rosalie isn’t sure what the hell she’s meant to do, but finding Shaun seems like a noble goal. Right up until the weight of the end of the world comes crashing down on her. She’ll need a little more to keep her going than avenging her sister's family and running head first into a half assed goal with no plan. At least Hancock’s got her back.

Summary
"He has always made the best of his (limited) possibilities, lived a life on it, in fact, so he decides he will simply have what fun he can, survive what he can, and maybe, just maybe, indulge himself in enjoying the company of the commander – now that he has no other choice."
Daeran and the commander, and all the things she is and becomes to him as they journey together.Bookmarked by aesfocus

An Ember the Colour of Amber by LoveOfOurOwnFate
Fandom: Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader (Video Game)
14 Sep 2025
Summary
“Behind the cobalt steel of his thoughts, behind the cold, faded grey of his emotions…an ember the colour of amber glows in Master van Calox’s soul, so bright and warm one is tempted to touch it.”
"It is sad that the Interrogator seeks to drown it with his own hands in the bottomless blue of duty. Sad indeed…but I can relate."
A series of connected Heinrix/Rogue Trader one/multi-shots featuring Amberlyn, a voidborn pyromancer. Each fic can be read as a stand-alone, or together as a longer work.
The series order will change to remain (mostly) chronological as new works are added. Updates come on the 14th & 28th of every month, except when there is a clash with other events.

Summary
“Maybe what you really need is a friend, not a lover.”
“I-- I would like that. I’ve held more people than I can count. An infinite parade of lovers. But a friend? I can’t think of a single one”
AKA Tav and Astarion join together to find a cure, to find themselves, and to find love. Post BG3, far fetched and far flung. Old friends, new enemies, and lots of emotion. Also a friendship between Gandrel and Astarion, which I think is very nice.

Summary
"You want to go down this road?" asked Shadowheart. "At least do it well. If you need a fake date who’s pretty, charming, and distracting for both yourself and others? Who won’t take it too seriously, but also won’t fuck it up by being embarrassed the entire time? You don’t ask me. You ask Astarion.”
--
A year after their adventuring party officially disbanded to enjoy their fame and immense wealth to the full, tiefling wizard Rosalie (reluctantly) asks Astarion for some help with a large, fake-date, ex-girlfriend sized problem.

Summary
This started as Owlcatober 2021 prompts inspired by lunarowena's list. Still sticking to the prompts mostly but deviating when needed for the narrative. Featuring an iomedae-worshipping dhampir who decides her existence isn't confusing enough and what the heck, let's become an Angel too.
A majority of these focus on Lann and the commander's relationship.
This is roughly a straight retelling in order by chapter, so later chapters will have major spoilers, both endgame and angel route.
