Whether there's any place in the world for one such as him is a point of dissension amongst those he meets along the way.

    Summary

    'I managed to make some small talk with my fellow escapees from the Nautiloid. Lae’zel is a terse woman of few words; Githyanki culture cares not for excess or expression it seems, favoring directness, clarity and precision—much like her sword work. Shadowheart is very guarded and standoff-ish, though that seems to be more directed toward Lae’zel. Gith, I imagine, also have very little use for religion, so for Shadowheart to have dedicated herself so completely and zealously to her faith must be as alien to her as she is to us. Astarion seems well-practiced in the art of casual deflection in conversation, utilizing it to put the nasty business of holding a dagger to my throat behind him. He’s not made any threatening movements in my direction since, and I’m content to let bygones be bygones in all three cases. There is just one thing that troubles me, however:

    I know that there is no Magistrate Ancunín in Baldur’s Gate.'
    ---
    Lord Simon Whitelily, 6th Baron Fontdale awoke on the banks of the River Chionthar with an unwelcome visitor in his skull and a motley crew of companions in the same predicament. What is he willing to do to save the Sword Coast, his young son, and ultimately himself?

    Summary

    For twenty years, Astarion Ancunín searched for his wife Rajah and his daughter Najma, who vanished without a trace. One day, he finally reunites with his daughter. However, she looks different. Her eyes are pitch black instead of hazel. She had lost her soft, white curls. And instead of a mouth, she has tentacles.

    With the help of his sister-in-law and her wife, they brave the perilous marshlands, alluvial plains, and mountains to find a mythical city, the City of Daffodils, believing a cure for Najma’s transformation hides within its walls. But how long can he go before his secret surfaces and threatens to destroy him and his daughter? And why does his sister-in-law treat them with such icy disdain?

    Will Astarion be able to save his daughter and mend his broken soul? Or will death claim him once and for all?

    Summary

    “You – give me my hand back,” Cazador demanded, as he tugged fruitlessly against the man’s grip. “What are you even doing in here? Did you follow – we are alone, s- my lord, and if you have somehow failed to notice, I have not yet entered into my first marriage! This is entirely improper, by whatever standards you care to name!”

    “Your first marriage,” Vellioth repeated, then smiled at Cazador, displaying a hint of a sharp canine. “Yes; precisely what I wished to discuss.”

    “What are you –“ Cazador began, confused, before his eyes widened in realisation. “No. Oh, no; if you have somehow gotten it in your echoing cavern of an empty head -”

    “Cazador Szarr, I find myself unexpectedly enraptured by your myriad charms,” Vellioth interrupted, his smile widening to something mockingly indulgent.

    What charms?” Cazador demanded, outraged by this blatant lie.

    Young Master Cazador Szarr finds himself unexpectedly thrust into a position of rather more responsibility than he had ever intended to take on. It seems there may be nothing for it now but an advantageous match.

    Summary

    There’s a sharp intake of breath from him before he mutters something to himself, his eyes fluttering shut for a moment as his lips twist downwards into a heavy frown. Astarion forces his lips back into a practiced smile, his eyes filled with longing and something else. “I should have expected something like this.” His voice lightens somewhat, taking on a cheery quality to it. “Well! That’s just a minor setback, Darling. No worries, we can work through this together.”

    ---

    you wake up to find yourself in a strange castle, with no memories and the urge to commit atrocities living within your head. nightmares plague your sleep and you eat the same meals day in and day out. your fiancè is hiding something from you and you're not sure what exactly it is, but you know it's something big.
