“If there’s nothing else, then…?”
“There’s nothing else,” Lux confirmed as her smile broke containment. “Go on, go be gross with your wizard,” she said with a shooing motion.

Summary
"They say a singular flap of a butterfly's wings can cause an ensuing storm on the other side of the world."
Nox'ani Skuldavi is not good with people. She is, however, good with magic. She is also smart enough to recognize her preferred status as a "living elf" (emphasis on both living and elf) is, at least in part, predicated on this small group of individuals she and her sister have found themselves with. Unfortunately, these individuals are rife with as much of their own, personal strife as they are stricken with the parasite. Even more unfortunately, Nox is finding she actually wants to help them however she can.
It's not much, she's not good with people. But she is good at magic, she's good at listening, and she really likes butterflies. It's hopefully enough to get the point across.
(AKA: Extra scenes from Act 1 companion quests; also AKA a BG3 friendship fic)

Wyll had spent the better part of seven years trying to recapture the feeling, and staring at her now, he understood why he never succeeded.
***
Late one evening on the road to Baldur's Gate, Wyll is pulled away from camp by the sweet sounds of a violin. The woman he finds playing is familiar; unfortunately he had hoped to never see her again.

Summary
It had only been a little over a tenday since they discovered what the Absolute was and how it came to be. It had only been a little over a tenday since they had seen the relic for themselves, but the way Gale continued to speak about it bordered on obsession.
Nox'ani was exhausted, but more than that, she was terrified. Not about the impending end of the world, but about the growing probability the love of her life was going to tear himself asunder with his own, reckless ambition.
(Bit of a prelude/rewrite of Gale's Act 3 scene)

Exit, Stage Right by firestormrunner

Summary
"Yesterday was really just a prelude for what was to come today, wouldn't you agree? What do you say to a warmup before today's spectacular truly begins?"
"I would be honored to assist with another of Herlock Sholmes's Logic and Reasoning Spectaculars to...well...to whatever end this is drawing towards."
***
A proper homecoming, a precious hour and a half before they needed to step on stage for the final act, and more than enough of a fool's notion of sentimentality. Herlock Sholmes was set to enjoy what little time he had with his partner before the grand finale of their ten year dance.
It was a shame, then, that he had to ruin it.
(Or...I wish the game let us see them address the implications of what happened on the Grouse)
