Summary
”Drink from me,” Gustave says like it’s that simple, and Verso’s heart – a raw, feral thing that barely beats as it is – screeches to a sudden halt.

Gustave isn’t fazed by it, at all.”

Summary
"God, Maelle can’t believe it, she’s so close now. She can’t believe it’s finally happening.
It’s taken weeks and weeks of work and raw, ugly communication to bridge over the hurt, guilt, rage and grief, to slowly rebuild the wreck of their lives.
And now, she's here, at the edge of her world."
In which Maelle returns to the Canvas after reconciling with her parents, but sometimes reunions are messy, and things rarely remain the same. Also she notices the very unexpected friendship between Verso and Gustave.

Summary
”Gustave lights a lamp in the kitchen, rolls up his sleeves and starts making dinner.
He does it, step by step, follows the old family recipe even though he’s exhausted to the very bone-marrow, even though his muscles are sore and the lethargy drags him towards the floor boards like a lead weight.”
In which Gustave makes food, Verso keeps showing up and they slowly start healing together.
Or; five times Gustave cooks something and one time it's Verso's turn.

Summary
He plays all the sharp, loud notes, he plays and plays until it bleeds, until it reverberates in his skull in a relentless cacophony. Until it echoes in the hall, up to the glass ceiling.
A sharp movement in the audience catches his eye, beyond the halo of the stage light.
At first he thinks it’s Maelle, that she’s spotted him doing something that she doesn’t like, doesn’t fit the perfect image of it in her head, but…
It’s not Maelle.
No, it’s Gustave.
Gustave knows something's wrong with Lumiére. With himself. With Maelle. And he knows he'll find answers with the mysterious pianist. And Verso sees.

Summary
”’1000 gold pieces for the former Archmage Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep, dead or alive’
Hot adrenaline shoots in Astarion’s veins like a firebolt. His heart doesn’t beat, but the second later the blood that is left in his body is replaced by a sickening rush of ice-water.
’What in the hells have you gotten yourself into, Gale?’”
In which Astarion finds a bounty for Gale and makes his way to Waterdeep as fast as he can. Includes protectiveness, anger born from worry, squishy wizards and love confessions.
