    Summary

    When he turned back, she was unbuttoning her blouse. She wore no undershirt, just a plain black bra. Typically, she wore T-shirts and rolled up the sleeve. That day, she had to undress...
    (Harvey was a professional. The human body was his bread and butter; there was a mundanity to nudity when you dealt in anatomy. In his life, both in his practice and out in the wild, he’d seen many shoulders. Many stretches of soft skin. Many black bras. But there in that office, that cold, humming room, her eyes soft on his face, it felt like the very first time.)

    Not long after near-death in the mines and that night in the clinic, the Farmer all but disappears from the face of Pelican Town. Then, she misses the last appointment for her rabies vaccination.
    The Doctor will not stand for this.

    (a sequel to not tame, but tender.)

    Summary

    Echo has lived her life tucked away in the forests of Tethir, learning magic through the pulse of nature and the songs of creation. She's good with magic, but not people, which isn't really a problem until she's scooped up by mind flayers and has to get along with six strangers lest they all share a tentacle-y doom. And she manages to get along with most of them -- but then there's Gale of Waterdeep. Despite a terrible first impression, she finds he is actually much kinder than all the mansplaining would suggest.

    This is a series of relationship scenes about my weird little mushroom hermit, a wizard who shows compassion and arrogance really can coexist, and how academic rivalry is like first base for wizards.

    Spoilers for the entire main plot and Gale's romance

    Summary

    Your heart is on my sleeve
    Did you put it there with a magic marker?

    --

    V's life, as of late, has been one thing after another.

    He's caught the attention of more than a few unsavory characters; he's on his way to the top of Night City itself; and he's got the ghost of Johnny Silverhand living inside his head.
    Nevermind the Relic cutting his life expectancy down the longer he goes without removing it--nevermind Hanako Arasaka, whose offer still stands, who he has consistently been avoiding.

    It's one thing to live with a ghost; it's another to give up everything for him.

    If loving Johnny Silverhand is the way he's gonna go--then that's how he's gonna go.

    --

    or, a series of silverv fics that started as oneshots, but soon became their own arc. i recommend reading this series in chronological order :3
    series title is taken from the song, "ordinary love" by U2 (particularly the extraordinary mix)

    Summary

    Haunted by the mistakes of her past, Evana Lavellan feels (reluctantly) compelled to stay and help the newly dubbed "Inquisition" close the Breach. But no longer than that. After all, they only care for her welfare because of the mark on her hand.

    Unfortunately, every mission seems to take her further away from her goal instead of closer to it. But each refugee saved and disaster averted also brings with it a sliver of tranquility, a fleeting taste of atonement for past wrongs. Surrounded by new people - new friends - she discovers a wider world than she'd ever imagined with her clan, a world in which she has the power to improve the lives of both elves AND mages.

    Strangest of all, she finds herself drawn to an unlikely friend and confidant in Inquisition's ex-templar military advisor who, like her, is all too familiar with the bitter taste of regret... and the fragile touch of hope.

    **Game scenes/dialogue included but also tons of original "in-between" moments, dialogue, character development and introspection. Super mild AU for shuffling conversation locations and tweaking the order of events. Quizzy is my own.
