Summary
Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.
*
Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”
“None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”

Summary
Crawling over Halsin while on top of his own grave was not exactly the destination Astarion had in mind at the start of their relationship, but he was a rather impulsive man when the whim caught him.
(Or, Astarion grows closer to Halsin while in Baldur’s Gate.)

Summary
It's been eight years since the Conclave, and he already saved the world once. But after failing to save it again, the last thing Inquisitor Mahanon Lavellan expects is to wake up in the days leading up to the Conclave.
He died, but now he's not dead and he has to decide whether destiny is real and if he can dare change history.
Maybe it would be easier if Solas had not been the one to kill him.

Bookmarker's Notes
From the first chapter I was hooked. When I started reading this I was intimidated by the 200k word count (now 400k), but most of the chapters are reasonably short.
My favorite story arc in this so far is the Here Lies the Abyss Fade nightmare, just holy crap I could not put down my phone reading those chapters. And the end of that arc literally knocked the breath out of me; I had a couple seconds of just staring at the page. -

Summary
Oswald buys an old mansion for cheap, since a bunch of people died there many years ago.
His first night staying there, he learns two very important things:
1) The house is haunted.
2) It's haunted by the most beautiful man he's ever seen.
Unfortunately, Oswald is missing a few pieces of the story, pieces which his gorgeous ghost seems very reluctant to provide.Bookmarked by halfbloodhacker

“Well, in that case, I would just will my heart to start beating again.” he smiled and then booped Oswald's nose, “For you.”
“You would do that?” Oswald chuckled, wiping tears away on his sleeve.

“How long do I have with him?” Oswald tried desperately not to cry. He only partly succeeded.
“We don't know.” Jim sighed, “Maybe only a couple of hours?”
“That's not nearly enough time.” Oswald wiped unbidden tears from his eyes, “Oh well. I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised to see the dead come back to life. This is Gotham, after all.”

“Maybe you just need a different brand of courage.” She says and stops the waiter.
On the tray were carefully arranged flowers. Carnations, it looked like. The petals were cut from the stem and dipped in velvety dark chocolate. Barbara Kean took two of them off of the tray and handed one to Oswald.
“To love.” She said and popped the floral dessert into her mouth.
Oswald hesitated for only a moment before muttering the words, “To love...” and then eating his own flower.

“You’re in denial, Ed.”
“Denial of what?”
Oswald smiles callously. He brings his hand up to Edward’s cheek, stroking his skin softly, intimately. “You know.”

Nothing like being trapped in an Arkham cell with your old best friend to make you talk over your regrets.

Summary
“Given the change in our circumstances, I’d like to negotiate the rules surrounding our...partnership.” Ed announces while still looking at the fire. “Before we delve any deeper into our bat related planning.”
Oswald sips his scotch and raises his eyebrow, “Rules?” This is new. Between the two of them the rules have always gone unspoken, misunderstood.
“Clarity may be something one longs for with age,” Ed offers with something like a shrug.
