Xenk should not look as good as he did when the little light in the room finally illuminated his form, eyes dragging over Edgin’s body, his face, the metal spikes currently pinning him to the cell walls.
“It looks worse than it is.”

Summary
The first night Marty gets Rust home and put to bed he whimpers like an old hound dog in his sleep, making these ripped-raw noises that well and gurgle up past his lips like fresh blood from the hole in his gut all over again. Doesn’t know he’s doing it, course not, but Marty lays there next to him in the dark—the man’s only got one bed, ain’t no shame in that—and has to wonder about the Vietnam-grade shit Rust’s got playing in living technicolor in his head.

Summary
After a night of self-destruction, Sylvain wakes up to find himself seriously injured in Almyra, with Claude von Riegan at his bedside. Claude offers Sylvain the opportunity to stay in Almyra until he's fully healed, but Sylvain's convalescence ends up being more politically complicated than Claude initially reveals.
A post-Crimson Flower story in which Sylvain learns a little about Claude, a little about Almyra — and a lot about himself.

Summary
Claude says it just as Felix is in the middle of his third strike. Felix immediately adjusts his stance, lifting his arm high enough to miss the training dummy so he can spin around and slice the air next to Claude instead. Claude, to his credit, doesn’t so much as flinch, not even as the blade stops a mere feather's width from his neck.
---
In which Claude attempts to recruit Felix to his class, and Felix declines, starting something akin to a battle.
A slowburn fic that spans both the Academy year and the war.

Summary
“You,” he says, and gods help him but Astarion has missed that smug little note of ah-hah! in his voice, “came here to rescue me!”
“I,” Astarion sniffs, “came here to save the illustrious and noble city of Waterdeep. Anticipating a generous reward, naturally.”
“You're here for me,” Gale insists, still grinning. His eyes are shining.
He looks so fucking radiant, it makes Astarion want to stab something.
In which Astarion saves the day, and Waterdeep, and Gale. That last one is completely incidental, you understand. And no, he is not lying to himself, darling. That you would even suggest such a thing.

Summary
There’s a knock at his door and Merlin curls further in on himself, and all he can see is the woman on the pyre, but now he’s joining her, and the flames are growing, and –
“Merlin?” It’s Gwaine. Merlin didn’t see him come in but suddenly he’s sitting on the bed in front of him, reaching a hand out to touch but not quite closing the distance. Merlin lets out a sob, in anguish or relief he doesn’t know, and he falls forwards. The knight wraps his arms around Merlin and silently holds him as Merlin cries. The yelling gets louder. Merlin can smell smoke in the air. Gwaine hugs him tighter.
There are no words.

Summary
The New Inn is as close to a church as Hob can build, a monument to stories, a tribute to dreams. He has a baseball bat, 600 years of fighting experience, and an anthropomorphic representation of dreaming to impress.
In other words, no neonazis allowed.

“So,” Gally says. His nails drum on the door, “You said I look … shiny? That’s like. A wolf thing, right?”
Turns out Minho is going to have to jump out the window after all.
(Or: Minho and Gally are dumb (not news) but eventually manage to awkwardly muscle their way through their mutual baggage and Learn.)

Summary
“This isn’t a joke to me,” Felix says. Both versions he has of Sylvain — the Sylvain in dreams, the one here now, moving to lie properly on his bed — are the same kind of unlucky. Punished in the same, remorseless way. “Your life isn’t a joke.”
“You’re always so worried I’m going to die,” Sylvain says fondly. “It’s sweet.”
——
Felix and Sylvain share a long night.

Summary
"If you had asked Riz two hours ago what his plans for postgrad were, this would’ve never made the list. But since Jawbone said the words, Riz can’t get it out of his head. The image of the two of them, best friends, traveling far and wide, licking their wounds in seedy motels, nothing but the skin of their teeth and the rumble of a motorcycle engine. “I mean, think about it,” Riz says, which is exactly what Jawbone told them to do. His voice comes out soft and delicate, like a ceramic figure that can be easily broken. He doesn’t like it. “Think about it. Can you really imagine yourself doing anything else?”'
or
Fabian and Riz take up the mantle of traditional adventuring, just with the added benefit of the internal combustion engine.

Summary
Realizing that you don’t care about sex when it’s all your friends care about is a tricky prospect. There’s a temptation to put yourself above them, to convince yourself that you’re simply too mature to be hung up on sex and dating, that you have better things to think about, like your schoolwork or your college applications or your part-time job as a licensed private investigator. That’s easy, because it lets you imagine that one day, when everyone else is as mature as you are, you’ll all care about sex a normal amount and the fact that you’ve never once imagined yourself engaging in it will be irrelevant, because everything will be as it should be.
It’s not true, of course.

“What are you doing here, Buck?” John asked, pulling his hand away.
“Came to see a friend,” Gale said, putting a toothpick in his mouth. “Haven’t seen you in six months. Been three months since I last heard from you. Wrote you a few letters. Called a couple of times. You’re a hard man to reach.”
