   Summary

   Canon setting enemies to lovers Shadowzel.
   Lae'zel POV.

   This can be seen as a companion piece to my long BG3 fic, False Dichotomy, but you'll still be able to follow everything without reading that. We'll be seeing certain parts of the Tadpole Gang's adventures from Lae'zel's POV as well as including new scenes that wouldn't have worked in False Dichotomy from a Shadowheart POV.

   You can expect the usual humour, angst, smut and fluff.
