never love an anchor by goldtreesilvertree, mothwrites

Summary
“It’s you.” The girl on the doorstep was dripping with rainwater from her lank black hair to the edges of her fine woollen cloak, but for all her disarray, she spoke with the venomous disdain achievable only by the most disaffected of teenagers. This alone would not have been enough to throw him, but for the fact she glared up at him with familiar golden eyes. “I knew it.”
If Justice had not been holding him up, his knees would have hit the ground. "Cara? Is that you?"
-
After the events at Adamant, Cara Hawke-Laidir gives her Inquisition babysitters the slip and travels across the Hinterlands on a quest to save her mother. She'll have to summon all her strength and find both her fathers to get her back.

Summary
"She's like a little doll," the woman cooed. She moved closer and stroked a lock of Adaine's hair. Adaine bore it patiently, though her fingers were twitching. "Oh, what a sweetheart. I love my darling boy, of course, but it would be so lovely to have a little girl to dress up."
-
Adaine is invited to a playdate at Seacaster Manor. Fabian isn't.
(This work was previously titled 'along the long dark passage like a star'.) -

Summary
"Remind me," Mystra asks Elminster. "How long is a year? Put it in context."
Elminster sighs. "I have lived over three hundred of them."
"And Gale?"
When he speaks, it is with the weight of all those years hanging heavy in his voice. "Nineteen."

Summary
There is no need for chains. Without magic he is just a man, and not even a particularly fit one. He's no warrior like Karlach or Wyll. He can't overpower a vampire ascendant. He probably couldn't have even overpowered Astarion as a spawn.
Gale swallows his grief as the name comes to his mind unbidden. Astarion is dead, he reminds himself. Killed by the monster who now wears his face.
-
Very bad, no-good timeline in which Ascendant!Astarion loves Gale too much to let him go.

Summary
Fabian watches Gorgug sleepily extend an arm and pull Hillie in close, despite the heat. Hillie's long hare limbs practically dissolve as she yawns and joins him in a nap. Nearby, Riz and Nox are lazily flicking through a paperback novel with a flashlight-toting detective on the cover. Kristen and David snore. Everything is peaceful. Everything is quiet.
So why does he feel like he's going to crawl out of his skin?

Summary
"Remember," Kristen says through gritted teeth, "the greatest magic in the world is-"
"Chronomancy," her friends groan in chorus. A vortex of time magic swirls around them and Kristen struggles to hold on to Gorgug, who in turn has wrapped himself around a streetlamp that is creaking dangerously.
"Fuck that," Kristen says, with feeling. "It's still friendship."

Summary
"Adaine, please be reasonable. This was supposed to be a nice day." You were going to get pretzels. Maybe even one of those blue-coloured frozen drinks. You've always wondered if they really turn one's tongue blue.

Summary
"First day of school!" Digby cheers. He's wearing his 'best dad' tinkerer's apron that Gorgug made for him when he was nine. "How are you feeling, bud?"
Gorgug stuffs half a hot flatcake in his mouth and washes it down with some ice-cold milk. "I think I'm stuck in a time-loop," he says.

Summary
Damien asks the Keep to create him a portal that will take him to the edge of the swamp.

Jacobi starts, and looks wildly around the room. Those kind eyes are filled with tears. “Alana?” He whispers.
She’s immediately intrigued. Just grief talking, or?
“Can you hear me?” She wonders. “Clever boy.”

Summary
"Alright... Daniel. Why are we having a movie night?" Minkowski never seemed the type to be into movie nights, and Hera probably doesn't get the point. He's beginning to get the feeling this will be the first movie night Eiffel 2.0 is going to remember, and he doesn't know if that's a good thing.
"Because," Daniel says, passing him a DVD so he has to get up again, "I really want to watch this, and my usual movie-buddy is dead. My backup movie-buddy is also dead. Any further questions?"
