    Summary

    This is Aylin and Isobel's story, though there will be a little crossover with Shadowheart Begins. The work is mostly how Aylin and Isobel met and lived prior to BG3 but will catch up to game events.

    * * *
    When Isobel hears the sharp tap at her door, she confusedly goes to her bedroom door before realising, the sound is coming from the door that opens onto the balcony.

    She opens the door in her dressing gown, wiping her eyes, not comprehending in her tiredness what a visitor on the balcony means.

    She gasps at the sight of Aylin, her helmet cradled under one arm, her wings tucked behind her shoulders, moonlight glinting off her silver and blue armour. Her striking, gold-lined face is filled with concern to see Isobel in tears.

    “Aylin!” Isobel cries, rushing into the aasimar’s arms without thought. “Oh, I missed you!”

    Aylin’s helmet crashes to the floor as she opens her arms to welcome Isobel into her embrace at long last, feeling the shape of her snug against her armour.

    “My darling Isobel,” Aylin says, her voice filled with emotion that softens her warrior’s voice. “Are you unwell? Are you hurt?”
