Summary
Written for the weekly Reddit Thread, 26th September 2020:
The Challenge
The Black Emporium has a new item: Aspersorium of Zinovia, named after the famed mage who had visions of the future, and was the consort of Archon Valerius.
Codex Entry: It is a large font, made out of white stone, and the water is about a foot deep. The water feels cool to the touch, and is enchanted to activate when three ounces of lyrium are carefully dripped into it, clockwise. The lyrium activates a spell that has been officially lost to history- we do not have a name for it now, we simply know this spell gives you insights and visions of alternate futures, pasts, and presents- where you see someone else in your place, making different decisions, choices- where you see different consequences.
Be very careful when using this. Visitors who have used this for long periods of time, have been known to go insane or simply die from the fumes that the lyrium gives off when it is being dripped into the basin.

Summary
“I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”
“I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”
“The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”
“Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

The Vampire Ascendent has crossed a line. Eleven years after making the biggest mistake of her life and losing the man she loved, tiefling wizard (now Archmage) Rosalie decides it’s time to put this Astarion in the ground for good. Hopefully, both her head and her heart are strong enough to see this awful task through to its end.

And the people?
She sighs at the thought that she could learn to like their company.When Kara finds out Astarion's secret, it leads to more than one surprise and definitely to a lot more than she bargained for.

Summary
The mission is too important. Any distractions for the crew members could end badly during their eventual attack on the Collectors. But Shepard's distraction is a little closer to home, and a whole lot harder to ignore when he's with her all the time. She just can't imagine that she distracts him much too.
Set during the events of Mass Effect 2. This contains spoilers for the Arrival/Lair of the Shadow Broker dlc.
