Summary
The manifestation of one’s moral compass was a rite of passage in modern Faerun. They typically came in the form of pairs. Ethical Apparitions, they were called — the aasimar and cambion on your shoulders.
In the case of Gale Dekarios, his apparitions came in the form of a pale, snarky elf.

Summary
There were many things that Astarion appreciated about being an exotic dancer.
However, he had no love for shift work.
The actual problem was trying to find time to scoff down a sufficient meal to keep his stomach from complaining. Which it was right now, only three hours into his shift. Perhaps the Madame wouldn’t mind if he slunk back upstairs, if only to grab a bite to eat.
Then again, there was rarely anything — ugh, gluten free available. The life of a celiac was such a chore.

Summary
It's 1997. God is real, and He is in your cereal, your radio, the glint of headlights caught in roadkill eyes. In the hum of cicadas and the low pulse of FM static. He is in the rust on your daddy's tools, the warm plastic of the truck dashboard, the syrup-thick silence that settles over the hills come sundown. If you're listening proper, you can hear Him in the drip of the kitchen tap, the way it ticks time like a metronome. Keeps beat for the loneliness.
Jayce Talis lives alone in the hills, content to keep to himself, his Bible, and the quiet work of tending land too stubborn to yield much. Then one summer evening, the church drops a half-starved stranger on his porch. Viktor- sharp-tongued, bird-boned and unrepentant- is the kind of man Jayce was raised to turn away from. But the mountains have a way of stretching out time and making space for things that don’t belong, and the more Viktor learns to live, the more he makes Jayce remember what he's spent years trying to forget.

Summary
“…I’ve never made one,” Viktor said aloud then, almost as an afterthought.
Jayce blinked. He looked up fully, caught off guard. “What?”
“I’ve never made one,” Viktor repeated. “A fort,” he clarified a second later. “Blanket or otherwise.”
“There were…other priorities.” Viktor’s gaze wandered around the dim, lifeless interior of the lab as he continued. “We didn’t have many blankets to spare. And then I grew up. Too quickly, maybe.” Viktor turned to Jayce fully then, and for the first time since he’d spoken, met his eyes. “I always thought it was a lovely idea, though.” His voice dropped, quiet but sure as he held his gaze. “You could make one now, if you wanted.”
.....................

A much needed break turns into a soft conversation, and the conversation finds itself wandering through what should have been simpler times in a heartless world. But at least, for once, the world can't find them here. Just for today.
