Summary
Zenos's stare is like two molten ingots; yet despite that intensity, he looks half-awake, almost drugged, his hair hanging lank and his white shirt slipping from one shoulder. It's the first time Fordola has ever seen the unobfuscated lines of his body, and it gives her a strange feeling, like seeing a lion skinned of its pelt.
[Fordola is beckoned to Zenos's quarters for an unusual request.]

Summary
When Dante and Vergil return, Nero has one question: who is my mother? Sadly, Vergil, against his own will, cannot remember. What will it take for Vergil to remember her? What is Vergil willing to do to himself to regain those memories?
And when he does, what truth will be waiting for him?
After all, V's familiars sacrificed themselves for a reason.
Sometimes, memories contain only explanation, not absolution. If power corrupts, then the pursuit of power also corrupts.

Summary
Thief King lives. He has a lot to answer for, and not many answers.
"Redemption" is an ugly word, and a false one. As a term it implies a set beginning and end, that someone is keeping track, that one day you will have done enough and simply wake up, forgiven. This is a lie. There is no great list of your evils to be crossed off one by one, if there's even such a thing as evil. There is only living, and tomorrow.

Set shortly after MSQ 5.3 during the Ishgardian Restoration, spoilers. Aymeric & G’raha Tia, omnicrafter!WoL, with background unrequited Aymeric/WoL and unrequited G'raha/WoL.

Summary
In the army, there was a name for it. For remembering and then getting stuck. For seeing ghosts. For smelling blood and fire and choking on ash when the air was clean. For blindness that took men and left them a quarter mile from where they'd been with no knowledge of how they'd arrived there.
The name of it was whispered among recruits. Old soldiers, soldiers like Riven, never gave voice to it. If you named it, it would come. And if you admitted to it… that was weakness.
She wasn't going to name it. Not for Katarina.
[Sequel to Burials in which Riven comes home. They were originally posted as a single continuous fic on fanfiction.net and, while Unearthed can be read separately, it is advised that you read Burials first]
