Summary
When their trip to Shadowfell to discover the Nightsong goes wrong and Mel is forced to kill a friend, she deals with the grief that it seems like she is alone in experiencing.
(inspired by me not being able to convince Shadowheart to not kill the Nightsong and having to kill Shadowheart.)
The major character death is in fact the MAIN focus here, so read at your own risk.

Summary
"He lingers for a moment, about to launch back into the crowd when he spies the most gorgeous ribbon. A rich cerulean blue, embroidered with a dark silver string for detailing. For the moment he stops and stares, Astarion can think of nothing else besides how the ribbon would look braided into his love’s hair. Blue stained hair, faded with the many washes they would now indulge in now that they had settled down. Settled down. Astarion smiles at where he finds himself; Buying pastries and slipping away with pretty ribbons for a lover."

“My pronouns?”
Ollie nods, picking at the strap of their bag that now rests on their shoulder.

A story or perhaps a compilation of stories about a retired Dream Lord, Lord Shaper, and the struggles of gender dysphoria.
OR-- Morpheus goes on a journey of gender discovery with an incredibly supportive boyfriend. Gender fuckery, pronoun experimentation, and trans joy all in one -

“She didn’t tell me she was sending the hot nurse.” His voice is low, raspy in a way Robert is sure is supposed to be seductive but sounds a little more like he swallowed sandpaper. He grins up crookedly, eyes shamelessly dragging over the column of Robert’s throat. “Not that I’m complaining.”
Robert blinks. Once. Twice.
He… he wasn’t expecting that.
Or,
Flambae is concussed and thinks Robert’s his boyfriend. Shenanigans ensue.
