    Summary

    “Y-Yeah,” the slightly stuttered answer is beyond charming. Shōta’s already imagining a thousand and one ways he can hear that stutter again in more private settings. “Y-You’re my favorite hero.”

    See, that dark voice whispers delightedly in Shōta’s ear again, he’s already yours.

    “Hmm,” Shōta hums, all of Nedzu’s training scurrying to the forefront of his mind. Careful, careful, his old sensei’s voice hums in his ear, you don’t want to startle your prey. “Not many people know Underground Heroes, especially not me.”

    “I-I,” that stutter is back in full force along with a fresh wave of red across those cheeks, “I’m a-an analyst so I-I read a lot of your case files.”

    Summary

    After Gale accused Astarion of cheating at cards, the rogue picked up an interest in learning lanceboard to challenge the wizard at his game of preference. To sweeten the deal and make things more interesting, the two have agreed that the victor wins a favor from the loser.

    The quiet, slow deliberateness made in each move by Gale was gone now. Astarion had fallen into the wizard's trap and he was starting to see there would be no way out of it. All of the vampire's moves would be made out of a desperate clumsy attempt to protect his king and prolong its downfall. "Razor's Edge to queen's bishop two."

    He continued his oration as he reached over, an index finger resting on a pawn. "Because sometimes, that small victory is enough to give them the momentum to keep going forward. The resolve of man to survive against all odds – fascinating, wouldn't you agree?" He moved the pawn diagonal, replacing Astarion's pawn with his own, inching ever so closer to the black side of the board. Once more, his bishop had a clear shot to his Cyric. "Pawn to queen's knight seven. Check."

    Summary

    "So, uh . . ." Kon says, skeptically eyeing the softly glowing rock in his hand. Metallo, like, threw it at his head. He has no idea why. "Is this supposed to do something or . . . ?"

    "It's pink," Kara says leerily, staying very firmly back.

    Summary

    “I hope you find someone less complicated: human, just one gender, and not involved with Nazi scientists,” Adrian commented dryly. “I told you that Cybersix woman was dangerous business.”

    “None of those had been deal breakers so far,” Lucas replied.

    “Just impending death, I suppose,” Adrian frowned.

    Cybersix survives the events of the final episode but without a source of Sustenance. She and Lucas are forced to take a road trip to the bleak Patagonian ice fields where her former master's Fortress lies. Can the master's creation dismantle the master's house? Or will their personal demons consume them first?
