Summary
Haymitch meets Effie's teary eyes and knows she is hoping for his name. He might be offended if the alternative wasn't Peeta returning to the arena. Even with the planned rescue, the risks are too high.
Effie's hand hesitates between the two slips of paper. She almost takes one, then grabs the other and unfolds it. Her voice cracks as she says, "The male tribute from District Twelve is Peeta Mellark."
And Haymitch breathes relief because for once, the odds are in his favor. He steps forward before Peeta can move. "I volunteer."

Summary
"Volo," said Tav.
"Would taste like blackstaff wine," Astarion said. "Boisterous, bright, and unbalanced."
"I like that," said Tav. She was sprawled on cushions, sorting through their supplies for dinner. "Different from the namesake, but it works. Your turn."
"The hag," Astarion suggested.
"Oh gods," said Tav. "That's an interesting one. Something that starts lovely, but with an awful surprise. Elverquisst, but there's a rotting fish at the bottom of the bottle."
----
A troupe-master bard is plucked up by the Nautiloid. She transitions from directing plays to directing an adventuring party and becomes immediate chaos-gremlin-besties with the rogue. This has a number of almost disastrous consequences and involves far more talking about feelings than any vampire should reasonably be expected to do.
A story about a bunch of traumatized people becoming better, because that can happen when you find yourself in a new place and suddenly have a support network.

Summary
Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.

Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”
“None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”

Summary
“Well, you see, I realize that things back in the orthon’s lair got a little unpleasant. And maybe I wasn’t as supportive as I should have been in the moment. But I love you, and I wanted to show you that I fully support your… proclivities. No matter how… unconventional they may seem at first.”
Or: Gale tries to be a supportive partner and things go horribly awry.

Summary
“He’s told us all about Mystra, about their… relationship. Gale was so young when she found him. I don’t think he knows how to be loved. He knows how to be owned, and I’m worried he thinks they’re one and the same.”
It’s a good thing Astarion doesn’t need to breathe. He’s not sure he remembers how.
Or: Astarion and Karlach go hunting.

Summary
Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."
And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.
Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.
Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.

It all starts with a question.
“How exactly does one bed a goddess?”

AKA, Minsc's line about the young magical boys in his village being hidden because of Mystra, implying that Gale was probably groomed into becoming Chosen and Mystra's lover, is very much canon in my mind and here's my fic exploring that

Summary
Two years post-peaceful revolution, human and android relationships have stabilized fairly well, and androids have been fully integrated into human society as US citizens--other countries are working on something similar. Still in Detroit, though, are the Andersons--a father, Hank, and his adopted android son, Connor, along with their dog, Sumo. Connor's been navigating deviancy fairly well, all things considered, but Hank knows that Connor needs better accessibility to his own people; peers that would understand him better--but Hank also knows that Connor doesn't want to let go of his father after only officially having him for just over a year.
In the afternoon of a fairly inconspicuous August day, Hank gets a call from none other than Elijah Kamski.

Summary
She hates them, hates them so much it makes her sick– that's what she tells herself as she paints their walls and sweeps their floors. She can't stand them. She's only doing this because she's out of options.
That's what she tells herself. She's telling herself lots of things these days.
In reality, her resolve is starting to crumble beneath them, and that makes her miserable.
If they wanna be so– nice, so accepting, they want something in return. That's how the world works. Ebb and flow, push and pull, give and take– she's known nothing but the law of equivalent exchange, and at the very least, Casey Jones is always good on her word.
Or: Casey's a Hamato now. Despite that, she has trouble believing she's worth a damn.
