    Summary

    ...in a game you do not know the rules of

    What is the game about? About lying, but not believing the lies. About gaining control without losing control. About giving in to desire but not feelings. About discovering secrets and keeping secrets. Ra'el knew it would be like this, she knew from the moment Astarion put the dagger to her neck. It wasn't safe, it wasn't wise, but she couldn't resist. The game is too tempting, and she is, after all, a mistress at it. Lying is her most powerful weapon, the reason her patron chose her. She can't lose.

    ************

    A shameless, self-indulgent tale of a warlock tiefling and a pale elf being madly in love. It is based roughly on the events of the game as it happened to me so consider all of this as a (very personal) headcanon. I refer in many points to the events from Baldur's Gate 3, but I don't describe them, so you need to know the game's plot to fully understand what's going on. It's not an elegant solution, but it's effective, and who has time for elegance when humanoids in your head are in love?

    Summary

    Night City had for plague crimes, poverty, but mainly loneliness and despair. This duo was everywhere, from the homeless beggars in the dirty streets to the decrepit apartments of Watson, to the Charter Hill apartments. Evelyn, the Clouds doll, and Virgile, NetWatch netrunner, are two lonely souls in this city in search of some love and affection ...

    Summary

    Takemura and V are physically reunited after her time in Mikoshi.

    "I forgot how good you smell," Valerie murmured. "It was one of those things… It didn't exist in Mikoshi. I knew that I liked it, but I couldn't remember it. It was like trying to smell a flower in a dream." She paused and leaned back. "Am I babbling? They said that was another side effect. Well, hyperactivity, specifically."

    Goro chuckled softly and kissed her forehead. "A little. I do not mind."

    Summary

    "Last night she wished they had been simple spectators, enjoying the festivities and then maybe going out to town, for dinner or a drink. But that was not their life..."

    A moment, a few hours, a night and a day in the eye of the storm. Not long enough to fully satiate her, or dampen her fears.
    Just a mistake perhaps, but not one any of them would really forget, or ever be the same in its aftermath.
