Summary
"The path to paradise begins in hell." - Dante Alighieri
In the chaotic realm of Faerûn, where alliances shift like sand in the wind and power is the ultimate currency, an unlikely union emerges from the depths of hell itself. Raphael, a cunning and charismatic cambion, finds himself entangled in an arranged marriage with Tav, a resilient adventurer with a dark lineage tracing back to the god of murder, Bhaal.
Both Raphael and Tav are thrust into this union by the machinations of their fathers, each with their own inscrutable agendas driving them forward. For Raphael, it's an opportunity to wield even greater influence in the intricate web of Faerûnian politics, while for Tav, it's a burden to bear—a twisted fate imposed upon them by forces beyond their control.

Summary
In the vibrant heart of a modern Baldurs Gate, where the past and present converge, lies an art museum that holds more than just the world's treasures—it houses the essence of Astarion's eternal sorrow. Astarion, a being untouched by the passage of time, finds solace in the museum's serene halls, drawn to a painting that captures more than just his likeness—it's a window to his soul, painted by Ophelia, the human lover he lost to the cruel hands of fate.
Centuries have passed, yet Astarion's heart remains shackled by the memory of Ophelia. His visits to the museum are a pilgrimage, a way to keep the flame of his love alive. However, on a seemingly ordinary day, Astarion's world is shaken to its core. Amidst the museum's latest exhibition, he encounters a new tour guide, Lily, whose resemblance to Ophelia is uncanny. It's not just her appearance; there's an aura about her, a familiarity that tugs at the threads of Astarion's long-forgotten happiness.
As Astarion seeks to unravel the mystery behind Lily's striking likeness to Ophelia, he is forced to confront the shadows of his past. Lily, unaware of the tempest her presence has stirred within Astarion, finds herself inexplicably drawn to the enigmatic visitor.

Summary
He tells her half-truths of the anchor and how she might close the rifts, assures Cassandra that though she is a mage, she is not capable of such extraordinary magic, and laughs genuinely when she asks if Varric is with the chantry. He makes himself fit in.
The world is fractured beyond repair, these people are little more than tranquil, and the fade is locked behind his creation. If this woman, this interrupter with the markings of the all-mother is to be the key to their salvation, so be it. He has made more from less.

Summary
Solas,
How many letters have I written and left unsent? How many books lay littered around homes I’ve come and gone from since Skyhold, all full of things I longed to tell you? I lost count years ago. I imagine a bookshelf dedicated to them in the Vir Dithara and that someday, wandering the Crossroads, you will stumble upon the musings of a woman who loved you to the point of madness.
