Summary
There is a vague thought of proper courtship, somewhere in Isobel's mind. But there is also a room vacant at Last Light Inn—a perfect sanctuary, far away from anyone who might deign to interrupt and drag in with themselves the rest of the world—on a night mercifully relieved of the beckonings of duty.
A few tendays after their fateful meeting, both Aylin and Isobel decide they are quite done with restraint and yearning.

"Good evening, Captain."
The stack of papers in Fiyero’s arms dropped to the floor.
Elphaba—alive, impossibly alive—stood half-hidden in the shadows of Glinda’s sitting room. If she hadn’t spoken, he might have walked right past her.
Obligatory "while on the run, Elphaba is injured and must go to her friends in the Emerald City for help" fic. Now with more Thropple. (Rating for character injury)

i know several lives worth living by neinofthem (jeyneofpoole)

Summary
Beau begins by sighing exasperatedly, which is typically not ideal for selling a pitch, but what the fuck, right? “I wanted to ask you,” she says, carefully now, “If you would maybe be interested in working with the Cobalt Soul. In a more, uh, official capacity. Like with a salary and everything, or whatever.”
There is a silence which is somehow worse than the silence that they were sitting in before. Essek makes a small sound that must be unconscious, sort of like a death rattle. Beau didn’t know such an undignified noise was in his repertoire.

Summary
It is a mild night in Nicodranas, and Veth is considering slamming the door in Essek’s face.
He’s wearing a Disguise that she hasn’t seen before and an expression that warns of future vomit. He says, shivering, “Um. Hello. Please help me?”
Veth, who is beginning to wish that she hadn’t answered the door in her skimpiest robe, attempts to surreptitiously cross her arms over her cleavage. She says, remarkably pleasantly, “Are you fucking insane?”

Summary
“We ventured too far, considering our unexpectedly low number.” Essek turns his face against the light, as if to let it cleanse some unwanted quality from his expression. Instead, he looks carved in bone, immortalized in frowning marble. “There were … traps. Perfectly clever ones. Still functioning.”
—--------
Essek tries and fails and tries to save the man he loves.

Fill for DA Kink Meme prompt:
Inq/Blackwall, jumping on the soulmates train
F!Inq of your choosing (but I have a soft-spot for Adaar) is soulmates with Blackwall. But there are... complications. Either:
a) Her soulmate mark says 'Thom Rainier', so not only can Blackwall not just say that he's her soulmate without compromising his cover, but he's not sure about someone whose soulmates with a child murderer, even when he *is* that child murderer.
b) Her soulmate mark says 'Blackwall', but hasn't done whatever it was that soulmate marks do with their other half dies, which is just fucking confusing.

Summary
"Tonight, you rest," Aylin states with all the certainty in the Realms, and smiles, gloriously accomplished and genuinely loving.
It makes Isobel's heart sing, how feather-light Aylin seems to be feeling. But it also, somehow, accentuates the line of Aylin's jaw and neck, the irresistible way she tilts her head proudly, and Isobel wants to trace the trajectory with kisses and teeth and tongue. She is enthralling, her angel, glowing in the red-hued everdusk.
The start of an adventure in literal hell, or a series of somewhat unusual double dates - who can say?

Summary
Imogen had always thought that if she ever met a vampire, the trick would be in not getting bitten. She seemed to have befriended the only vampire in Exandria who didn’t want to touch her. Laudna was going to die when the sun came up, and she still wouldn’t touch her.

Summary
Her smile was triumphant, predatory and fanged, and Imogen realised the extent to which she had been toyed. Her eyes, though, were warm. Laudna could never hide the warmth of her eyes.
“What have we here?” she said, low and taunting, with imperiousness that Imogen felt directly between her legs. “A pretty girl like you, all alone in the woods?”

Summary
To hold Imogen like this is utterly unfamiliar; it is the easiest thing she has ever done. Impossible that this could be the first time they’ve kissed. Inconceivable that she has never known the warmth of Imogen’s mouth against hers.

Summary
“Eliot,” Hardison says slowly, precisely. “Tell me what was going through your head while I was in the water, drowning.”
“Fear.” He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath in. God, this is worse than getting fucking tortured. “I was scared, alright? I was terrified out of my mind, but I couldn’t show it because Moreau would have pounced on it and torn me apart. That’s how guys like that work, man. That’s how I used to work."

Summary
Laudna has had thirty-odd years to grapple with her own death and the intricacies that came with it—constantly falling apart, bones jutting out at queer angles, the persistent chill—but now she is alive, suddenly and unequivocally alive. Her bones now encased in softer, pinkened flesh, her fingers remaining attached no matter the sudden movement, and—hells, she’s warm.
It’s odd and frightening how warm she feels after decades of cold.
OR
Diverges after the Otohan battle. Laudna is resurrected as a human and has to grapple with what that means as well as her newly revived body's reactions to Imogen.

Summary
“Do you ever think that we’re going to lose it?” Laudna asks, finally, her voice that kind of deep gravel it becomes when she’s fallen deep inside herself.
“Lose this?” Imogen asks, looking around them, as the first drops of rain begin to fall outside. She swallows. Weighs the truth against the lie. “All the time.”
Imogen and Laudna (and their little ones), and the peace after the storm.

(They've been on the run together for a week and two days when Laudna finds Imogen shaving by the river. On bodies, comfort, holding and being held.)

Summary
(spoilers for c2e140)
Jester’s never died before.
She doesn’t think about it in the moment, in the moment where she was battered and broken at the base of the horrible caricature of what was once a friend, a mass of bulbous skin and tendon and muscle and city. All she remembers is her vision going dark, vicious pain lancing through her chest, impaled by the clawed wings of Lucien, before everything went black. Her last word was a plea to Artagan, for protection or help, but then nothing.

Summary
“The Sharrans also did not have rites for the dead,” Shadowheart tells Lae’zel, fighting to keep her voice steady. “Nobody knew where we were going on missions, who we were going with, who we were. Secrecy was of the utmost importance. If you perished on your mission, then it was like you never existed. Nobody would know where you were, who you were.”
“That seems like a terrible way to die,” Lae’zel comments tersely with a deep frown.
“And a terrible way to live."

For the first time after a century apart, Aylin and Isobel witness the dawn together.
