Summary
If they’d known when they took the contract with the Slayer’s Take that Manticore by no means meant only one of the goddamn things, thought Vax, viciously, then they might have come a little better prepared. Healing potions, a full night’s sleep, all their spells – rather than no potions, a night out drinking, and half Pike’s heavenly light spent on easing all of their hangovers.
(In which Vox Machina is rather overconfident in their manticore-slaying abilities, and Vax pays the price for it.)

Summary
“Why would a mortal ever allow such a thing?” Justice asks.
Nathaniel ponders the question. “For life,” he says finally. Thoughtfully. “For love. Perhaps together, you can do what they cannot do alone. If you gave instead of taking, I would consider you no demon.”
It is something to consider, Justice thinks. Somehow, he is far more preoccupied with the way Nathaniel offers a smile: like he is someone who deserves to be loved.

Summary
"Caleb, are you alright? The tunnel must have collapsed. I made it out with a few scrapes, but I can't find you."
The words come through Caleb's mind in Essek's voice, smooth, controlled, delivered by magic.
There is no echo of a physical voice to accompany. Essek is too far away to be heard.
"I am .. I'm alive. Currently pinned under some rubble. I cannot move, see, or cast. Breathing is difficult. Some broken bones. Please come quickly."

In Our Bed, Where Peace Is Whole and Quiet by Interrobang

Summary
Caleb knew that some humans were able to intentionally wiggle their ears. Apparently it was an old, vestigial muscle that only some humans could purposefully flex, which would rotate their ear in a kind of silly-looking wiggle, usually done for joke effects. But elves? Though Essek would be loathe to admit it, they seemed to have an instinctual sort of twitch to them, the muscle not only active and connected, but sensitive. Emotionally activated, Essek’s ears would sometimes pin closer to his head, or wiggle with the slightest tension when he was excited.
Or shake with the slightest sort of quiver when aroused.

Summary
'Careful, Nate,' Anders says. The candle on the nightstand flickers, the light dancing in his eyes. 'You know what happens when you feed a stray.'
'It comes back,' Nathaniel whispers.
Seven years ago, Anders vanished from the Wardens without a trace. A chance discovery spurs a renewed search for the man who ripped out a piece of Nathaniel's heart and ran away with it, but Nathaniel never counted on Garrett Hawke getting in the way.
Garrett Hawke, as it turns out, has other plans.

Rilienus was happy at Skyhold, with his Southern lover and his work helping the mages of Ferelden learn their true power.
He would have said yes, a thousand times, but that was an age ago. Rilienus was not the man he had been when he had met the future Inquisitor in a shadowy brothel in the slums of Carastes. He would have said yes, whatever Dorian Pavus had asked. Why then, did it bother him so much that Dorian kept saying no?

Summary
You've really made a mess of things, you know, Anders thought with annoyance.
(Is it so unusual to enjoy another in this way? Justice wondered. You allow yourself to notice him as well, I think - though for you it is shoulders, arms, grace of movement, the way light strikes the collarbone or side of the face -)
That's exactly the point, Anders interrupted, doing his best to drive away the thoughts Justice had evoked. I'm supposed to be the one who falls for dangerous strangers. I'm supposed to be the one who wants things that are bad for me. You're supposed to be the responsible one.
━━━━━━━━━━
Hawke is busy with her own affairs, Anders and Fenris have to learn to rely on each other, and Justice tries to convince them they have more in common than they think.
