Summary
'She hiccups, squirms beneath his hands, his now clawed fingers digging into her wrists till it hurts.
"You want your little death?" He leans down, breathes deep as he presses his nose against hers, mouth hovering above her parted lips and whispers, low and venomous, "I will give it to you."'

Prompt: Tav nuts before Raphael does for once 👀

Summary
A series of short little stories about what I imagine happens in camp when four of the six tadfools are out on adventure.
Newest chapter: Lae'zel & Shadowheart
"Strangely enough, however, Shadowheart does no such thing. Instead, she goes impossibly still. Like one those—what did Karlach call them—‘kitties’ that cross their path on their journey through Faerûn from time to time. Small, fluffy creatures that freeze when they spot you.
Lae’zel pays it no mind. It only makes everything easier."

Summary
She pulls out a chair and Arthur sits, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. He folds his hands and lowers his head. He looks like a man in prayer. But she’s kidding herself–his hands are nothing like that of a priest whose hands are cold and unfeeling and impartial. Arthur’s hands are warm and kind and steeped in blood and violence she knows he has never attempted to wash or rid himself of.
“My pa died.” The splintering of silence is almost too much to bear. It’s a truth she has yet to speak out loud, as if keeping it locked behind her teeth would somehow make it not so. If Arthur is in any way affected by her words, he doesn’t let it show. “Two months ago. That’s the only reason I reached out.”

Summary
Tilly and Dutch are cuddling. They’re pressed up against one another, both soundly asleep, Dutch’s arm slung around Tilly’s back in a protective manner, hand resting on her arm, his other hand holding onto an open book. Sitting close by to enjoy the warmth of the once uproarious flames just as Tilly and Dutch had before the two of them dozed off, Hosea takes in this image with quiet contemplation. The tenderness of such a moment, such a familial, earnest, and affectionate scene, has Hosea feeling impossibly sentimental–perhaps a bit mushy–and his heart aches in that way he’s found to stem from feeling too much in too short of a time; as if this view of his dearest, oldest friend holding the girl Hosea, for the third damn time, despite himself, has come to view as his own, as his daughter, has stricken him like an arrow through the heart

Summary
”What’cha got there, son?” It’s Dutch who decides to end Arthur’s charade, calling out in a low voice from where he’s sitting beside Hosea, an unlit cigar caught between curled fingers.
Arthur freezes on the spot. The sack on his back does not. He looks like a deer caught in the light of a lantern; eyes wide, stock-still, acting as if no one will notice him if he’s just really quiet.
”Nothin’,” he says eventually.
