    Summary

    A series of interludes taking place in The Tides Will Take You Home universe, aka the Dragon Jaina AU.

    Each chapter will feature a non-Jaina POV from the main story so spoilers abound. The interludes will be non-linear but the chapter A/N will contain rating, timeline, and summary for each interlude to provide context.

    Summary

    Jaina Proudmoore, aka Questcraft player DaughterOfTheSea, was absolutely, categorically, undeniably, not a fucking healer.

    But, well. Anduin (LionCub, because he had just gone with the randomized name) wanted to try DPS. And who else would sub in?

    Wrathion (LitanyOfWrath) was a stone tank, and even if he had been willing to try healer, he was so infuriating that it really wasn’t worth asking him for anything, unless of course you were Anduin.

    Tess (Whichwood), in her own words, barely knew how to play the game.

    Banshee… well. If she was being honest, Jaina had no fucking clue why Banshee (BansheeQueen, introductions being somewhat redundant as Jaina only knew her by her online moniker) played with them.

    Jaina shivered, just a little.

    She might, possibly, have a little bit of a crush on BansheeQueen.

    Summary

    She briefly, foolishly, imagined a world where she could simply tell Jaina, where she could share every fluttering feeling that she had, every way Sylvanas’s thoughts always spiraled back to her, like the Philosophy article on Theropedia, every time she had run dungeons past her weekly Gem cap simply to spend more time with her, every time she had listened to her and her friends banter and rib each other, imagining, if only for a brief time, that she was part of that, that she had people who cared about her, and above all that Jaina cared about her, that she looked forward to spending that sparse time in call together as much as Sylvanas did, that she didn’t just appreciate Sylvanas’s game skill, that she would--

    Sylvanas’s phone screen went dark, and the sight of her reflection peering up at her, judging her, shook her out of her thoughts. She groaned, leaning forward in her seat and pinching the bridge of her nose. Lights and numbers flashed by on her monitor, the work she was supposed to be doing, but all that it was accomplishing was giving her a headache.

    Summary

    The soul makes the woman. Or dragon, in this case. The course of history changes when one dragon, driven by isolation and the consistent kindness of a human, makes a choice to repay that mortal at the cost of her own life.

    Or: What if Jaina was actually a dragon in a previous life before becoming a Proudmoore.
