    Summary

    “I’m not, strictly speaking, looking to be your wife.”
    Emmrich again faltered, hands folding in front of himself. He dithered. He searched for words. Well-spoken since childhood, he was quite unused to feeling so wrong-footed. He suspected it was something he would become well acquainted with in the immediate future.
    “What,” he said eventually, “are you…looking for?”
    “A friend,” Sigrid replied. Again in that simple, earnest and succinct way. “I’d like to be your friend, Emmrich.”
    Something in Emmrich’s chest, utterly despite himself, swelled.
    “Yes,” he murmured. “I would…like that very much, Sigrid.”
    Sigrid smiled and lifted her satchel over her head. “Great. Then let’s get married.”

    Some years ago, Emmrich Volkarin met his wife, married her, and fell in love with her. In that order.
    In 9:50 Dragon, Varric Tethras finds himself in a backwater of Nevarra, where he enlists the help of a secretive necromancer on a rainy night. These two events are not unrelated.
    Not even the dead keep their secrets forever.

    Summary

    The Magnae Accessio is a riotous occasion of pomp and fanfare for the newly mended von Valancius dynasty — and a chance for the person Heliora von Valancius used to be to take the stage, grim secrets of her own on display for all to see.

    Caught in her light, still under his mentor's shadow, Heinrix van Calox must learn where, truly, she stands — before unbound passions spell doom for them both.

     

    (Come for the Magnae, stay for the solo torture hands-down-pants Accessio, everyone.)

    Summary

    Silco cares about two things: the burgeoning revolution he and his brothers and sisters in arms are coaxing to life, and making sure his sickly mother lives long enough to see the Undercity freed from the heel of Piltover.

    All Katya Slostov cares about is keeping her brother, Viktor, alive. A tall order considering his bent skeleton and chronic illnesses. Luckily, he spends most weeks at Piltover's Prepartory School on partial scholarship and out of the toxic Underground air. Also, luckily, Katya is able to covertly abuse her position at the medical clinic in the mines to keep her and her brother afloat. Some might call her a drug dealer, but people can call her whatever they like just so long as she's able to give her younger brother, and only family, a fighting chance.

    Priorities clash and feelings conflict when Katya is pulled into the Children of Zaun's orbit, and Silco grapples with the fact that there is another thing - another person - to care about.

    Summary

    Roan Tevlin was once regarded as one of the greatest thieves in Nine-Fingers' guild, but lately her jobs have been consistently ruined by Astarion, a member of a competing thieves guild run by Cazador Szarr. They both soon learn, however, that a bitter rivalry can easily devolve into a lustful obsession. In the middle of it all is Gale Dekarios: a powerful wizard running a magic shop in Baldur's Gate, as well as Roan's former client-turned-lover. What might have been a love triangle becomes so much more, and in the process of knowing each other, they uncover dark, well-kept secrets about the thieves guilds that run the city.
